what do you find is smoother about it?

ArchiveBox swag is now available! 👕🧢✨
All proceeds go towards supporting open source development.

I am considering it but the margins aren't great, I'd need to charge $150/yr at least for it to be worth it until I reach economies of scale, and I'm not sure that people would pay that.

High quality archiving is hard and takes like 1min/URL of CPU and burns a lot of IPs.

hi! I can't see OP's post but yes ArchiveBox is a nonprofit. I do some consulting so I can pay my bills and keep writing open source.

Congratulations! I know it's been a long time coming 🎄🎉

it’s fun when @sweeting.me comes over because it’s the only time i get to chaotically switch between english, chinese, and spanish

🎥 @sweeting.me on the importance of decentralized internet archiving efforts like @archivebox.io

I got interviewed about ArchiveBox by the lovely team over on the Changelog Podcast! Check it out:

it turns out they did do this!

correction* the stat() call is always necessary for the check, but the os.path.* methods ignore the exceptions and return False for those cases

well it launched in 2015 so there was still a chance haha

🤷‍♂️ the cost of doing business when there's no official migration tool to make it smoother

Migrating @ArchiveBox.io (aka @ArchiveBoxApp) over to Bsky too! bsky.app/profile/arch...

Add section for migration tools by pirate · Pull Request #17 · notjuliet/awesome-bluesky Adds a few tools that aid in X to Bsky migration

there are open source tools too github.com/notjuliet/aw...

Started migrating to Bsky today! History should appear in the next few days.

(Will probably be on both platforms for a bit still though.)

I'm asking about default passive focal length mid-session, not what they do when you "attend" to them.

"up close" ~feels like focusing on a black sheet held a few feet in front of you

"far away" ~feels like a 1000-yard stare into a distant overcast night sky

👀 when ya'll meditate, where do you tend to focus your eyes? (while closed)

has anyone tried making multiplayer pacman?

A bunch of real people operating the ghosts in a groupchat who try to team up to beat a real human playing as pacman?

Man it's really annoying that python's otherwise-awesome pathlib.Path breaks in a bunch of cases where os.access works fine.

Path().is_dir(), .is_file(), .exists() all unecessarily call .stat() and break occasionally, when os.access(...) or os.path.isdir(), etc. work fine.

In fact I think I just got rate limited by PyPI because I got overexcited about being able to release things faster...

Ok this is kind of absurd. I just switched over @ArchiveBoxApp to uv, and it ran our typically ~1 min build+publish in under 2 seconds.

It's singlehandedly making me want to stay on python compared to JS.

👏 👏@charliermarsh @astral_sh amazing job

I kinda miss the "Hi this is Visa Mastercard" scam guys

anyone still get those calls?

I'd just keep trying to ask them "so which one are you?" in different ways for like 30min

Stay far away from @portalbridge_ , I've tried to swap tokens 3 times now and all three times it eats the gas fees, does no swap, and support doesn't help at all.

Finally updated my coding workflow to modern tools, highly recommend if you've been putting it off:

- Google Chrome -> Brave
- Google Search -> Kagi
- Sublime Text -> VSCode
- GPT-4o -> Claude 3.5
- Copilot -> Cody + Tabnine
- node -> bun
- mypy -> pywrigt
- Bootstrap -> Ant 5

I'm consistently surpised at how much better Claude 3.5 is at generating code that works on the first try compared to GPT-4o

Not a single hallucination in sight...

an interesting counter-argument to using assassination as a tool of foreign policy:

autocrats already assume their position entails risk. it disproportionately harms democracies because fewer/worse ppl will run for office when it has higher...
