If you set up and maintain Snapchain nodes, check out these two tools: - sc-mon is the simples way to quickly check your node's sync status. - snapdown is a snapshot downloader that gives you more control (and it's faster than using the default snapshot download) https://github.com/vrypan/sc-mon https://github.com/vrypan/snapdown

ῥήτωρ (rhḗtōr), means "public speaker" in Ancient Greek. It's where the term "rhetorical question" comes from: A question that doesn't need an answer, or one that the answer is given by the speaker. - Is this really a problem? No, and I'll tell you why. - Isn't this weather beautiful? However, sometimes a rhetorical question is a statement disguised as a question. We are so familiar with the form, that "After listening all this, how is it possible to say that the man is not guilty?" implies that the answer is obvious -even if it's not. In text-based social media where context is limited, and the communication bandwidth is even more limited, it is often hard to decide if a question is an actual question or a statement discussed as a rhetorical question. Please don't use questions when you want to make a statement, it's not cute and it often leads to misunderstandings.

Did threaded discussions get a redesign? They look much better.

We went shopping for running shoes with my daughter (14). So, what does the geek dad have to say, looking at a display with 10s of sports shoes of all types and brands? Me: You know, New Balance was Steve Jobs' favorite shoes. [pause] Her: That's a weird thing to know. She's right, but 🤷 https://www.complex.com/sneakers/a/brendan-dunne/steve-jobs-new-balance-992-sneakers-dad-shoes

Configure starship to show weather. 1. save the `weather.sh` script somewhere in your `$PATH`. 2. Update `~/.config/starship.toml` (or wherever your starship config is saved)

I want to setup and maintain a term/cli starter pack. Who should I add? Who is **regularly** casting about the terminal and CLI tools?

I need a contingency plan. When everyone joins Farcaster, and shares funny, engaging 9:16 videos, how do I reserve a little corner where I can be with the 10 people who know what local-first is, are proud for building a new cli tool, and share retro computing stories? Can channels be this?

My life on Farcaster would be so much better if @buoy notifications were direct links to casts. (Not buoy's fault)

Renamed to "snapdown", the old name was too much :-) Huge improvements and fixes since the last post, I feel it's production-level now.

The law of diminishing returns is brutal when it comes to software development. The effort and investment required to make a polished (+ stable, efficient, able to handle edge cases, etc.) product is 10x or 100x what you spent for the mvp.

Call me the logic police but: 1. The actual point made here is that America has cultural hegemony over the English-speaking Internet. (kinda obvious) 2. A more useful point could be made if "the entire non-English speaking Internet was live-commenting..." -but my guess is that it doesn't stand. 3. Wrong reasoning does not mean that the conclusion is not valid.

This is one of the best homelab servers I ever had. Not the most powerful, but really silent, very small footprint and it feels so reliable compared to much higher-speced (but same price range) computers I've had in the past. Really love it.

snapsnapdown is a Snapchain Snapshot Downloader. I wrote it because I had some issues when I was setting up my node. It gives you more flexibility than the embedded downloader: - You can stop/start and it will pick up where you left. - When restarting, local chunk sizes will be compared to remote, and if they do not match they will be re-downloaded - Concurrent chunk downloads: I have found that sometimes a chunk may download at very low speeds, having concurrent downloads removes the bottleneck and results in faster overall download. - Downloaded chunks are not automatically deleted. - It looks nicer :-) https://github.com/vrypan/snapsnapdown

I don't want to search for good content, or spend the time to build a curated social graph. I want an algo to find interesting things and show them to me. And I want this algo to rate my casts very high and show them to everyone else.
