part of humans learning to drive safely is knowing that flouting traffic laws increases your chance of being stopped, fined, or if you’re not the right demographic, worse things. we calibrate our behavior to maximize speed and minimize cops, and to avoid being at-fault in an accident, which is a major hit to insurance rates.

autonomous vehicles can’t be cited for moving violations. they’re learning to maximize speed without the governor of traffic laws. in the absence of speed and citation data, it’s hard to measure how safe they are. there is no systemic incentive for them to care about safety, except for bad press.

again not foss so won’t dwell at length — but i use fund manager from beiley software. commercial, but works double-entry and handles more investment complexity than a human could ever need. windows app, i run it under wine on linux and crossover on mac. (i don’t own a windows box — that’s how irreplaceable it was for me.)

so per wikipedia and confirmed at MDN, firefox is the only major browser line not to consider certificate transparency at all. and yet it’s the only one that has given me occasional maddening SSL errors that have blocked site access (not always little sites, it’s happened with amazon).

i don’t understand how firefox can be simultaneously the least picky about certificates and the most likely to spuriously decide they’re invalid.

i made the same migration from markor (files in a folder) to logseq. there’s a lot to be gained - always-preview alone is a game changer - but on mobile the visibility of the keyboard can be fiddly. once in a while you’ll feel like you’re in vi, it has such a mind of its own. but i’m not planning to go back

looks great! the catch for me is that my current host doesn’t have docker support. your dependencies don’t look crazy so in theory i could burst it and install directly to the host environment, but at that point i’m giving myself grocy-level headaches.

reading about docker-capable hosts, i was surprised to see them starting at 1GB RAM - i couldn’t run pac-man in that. what would be a reasonable expectation for kitchenowl?

i haven’t tried the docker route - it seems fairly new. it also doesn’t seem like it would fix the issues i ran into. containerization is great for insulating the app from external dependency hell and environmental variation. but the problems i’ve had involve its own code and logic, and corruption of a sqlite database within its own filesystem; wrapping issues like that in a docker container only makes them harder to solve
