  • Wow, that was a wild read. I kept going to see if the man responsible for Radithor would get his after finding out it made him rich.

    No legal justice but ...

    Bailey died of bladder cancer ... his body was exhumed nearly 20 years later, it was ... "ravaged by radiation".

    I guess it's a good example of Hanlon's razor, "Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity"

  • 10 Best Free and Open Source Web-Based Bookmark Managers

    Jump

  • I've been tinkering with many of these lately, but I've been surprised by the lack of interoperability. I've yet to work with a bookmark manager that can import and export a netscape html file, without dramatically changing its structure. Of the top 2 for my needs, Linkwarden doesn't export to html and linkding does, but loses the hierarchy.

  • Unfortunately they seem to make products better until they reach saturation, then they split into tiers, raise prices (and/or lower offerings - looking at you Max) and start introducing ads into paid tiers.

    I haven't done enough digging on metric time, but if it's implemented as a UTC/global time I can get behind that. I'm sick of timezones and DST.

  • If you have an old laptop sitting around, put a linux server or NAS distro on it and start tinkering. There can be a lot of analysis paralysis with this stuff. Sometimes it's best to just try and fail and learn and try again. More likely you'll try and succeed and realize other wants and needs and redo it a year later. I think that's why it makes for a great hobby. Lots to learn and improve upon.

    Start small, on your local network. Maybe something like paperless-ngx: not very demanding of resources, and (I assume) easy to backup/migrate. You could see about putting it on truenas to get a sense of what that process is like. I personally like to keep a nas and server separate, then mount the nas on the server.

    I've found owncloud a bit complex and prefer dedicated solutions. For the seas, servarr apps come up a lot. Paperless ngx for docs. Immich (or ente) for photos/vid. If you're just starting out, installing on linux and/or using docker is going to be your shortest path to success. proxmox or other VMs can complicate things if you're not familiar.

  • The content is free but the cost is not...

  • Understandable. FWIW members (15 USD/month at this time) get a discount and the option to use one of the credits you get each month. So Dune can be had for 14.99. I get the pricey books with credits, others I use the discount for. It's a bit odd and I don't love memberships, but I do want to support ownership models where they still exist.

    If you share access with friends and family using a self-hosted audiobook server then the value really sky-rockets.

  • Nice work and congrats on your progress! Being new and uncomfortable with dependencies, this project might be a good opportunity to read and apply chapter 7 of the rust book if you haven't already. Specifically 7.2 defining modules ... and the sections that follow.

    As your projects increase complexity it's really useful to shift chunks around (within main.rs and into other files/directories). Doing it now will make it easier to see the individual parts (vs waiting till a project has a lot going on). It might make dependencies feel less unfamiliar.

  • TIL Paramount executives tried to force the cast and crew of Scrooged to work on Christmas Day

  • Does seem odd. Was released November 22, 1988. Sounds like a long production and post-production (possible if not likely with film. all I know is Wayne's World was shot in less than a month around this era). Still, even more insane to not give XMas day off on a long production, if true.

  • The plot is trivial, what matters is test screenings and market projections ...when all one cares about is making money.
