Time to buy a MeshTastic node?


And then there is Sheep It Render Farm. You donate render power when you don’t need your PC. Earn points for that. Then consume those point when you utilize 20++ parallel render pipelines from other peoples PCs when you want to render your stuff.

Interesting. But do I get it right: if on band rehersal or public gig, if offline, then no sheet music? Or is there local bufferung / offline mode?


Yeah, no offline mode yet, but we're planing to open source the core SQLite to GraphQL engine underlying Airsequel. Then you could simply have the SQLite database and the GraphQL API server offline and connect the sheet music app to that!


IMHO a very capable FOSS competitor for Obsidian is LogSeq (https://logseq.com/). I use Logseq since 6 month and love it. There also exists a Kanban Plugin for LogSeq, which I have not yet tried... https://github.com/hkgnp/logseq-kanban-plugin


LogSeq has suffered a lot, imo, since they took venture funding. Their focus has wavered drastically since then, shipping features nobody is asking for that I can only assume are viewed to be differentiating for other PKMs (e.g., canvas) vs making the thing performant, improving the wretched UI, fixing bugs, etc.

Obsidian may not be open source, but it reflects a sane approach to product: small, focused team, profitable company, delivering useful stuff. Clean and tight. It's got a different set of abstractions at its core (document model vs block model) but if you're indifferent to that, Obsidian is where I'd start.


Looks Nice! Also interesting to see they are incorporated. Would be cool to watch how they evolve the product while also implementing a business plan.

But from the home page I don't directly get whether this is backed by markdown flat files or some other system, do you know?


Its local markdown flat files.


https://www.meteor.com/ If you’re fine with MongoDB in the backend. Then you get a lot of speed in development and same language in backend and frontend. Plus view live updates on all connected clients as data changes in backend. And hot Code push to clients if new build on server available. I loved it when doing https://www.4minitz.com/ (retired FOSS)


There is also a MySQL integration with Meteor.

I'm the defacto maintainer of this package and the Node.js package mysql-live-select.

These implement pub/sub and reactive queries using the MySQL binary log as the event source:

Ah! Cool! Thanks for sharing. Didn't know this exists meantime...


For Geo-Location, maybe consider this workflow: User searches City in the iPhone Maps App (by Apple), then clicks "Share" button, then "Copy to Clipboard" - thenpaste this location into your app, you grab Longitude & Latitude from that and let users specify a radius. Bam! Complicated.... But no network needed.


Someone else has commented with a list of cities which could be included offline: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34690693

But your workflow is such a hassle that I doubt many people would do it. A more realistic flow (without the list of places above) would be to show an image of the world map, allow the user to zoom in, and let them drop a pin on the map. They can drop a pin near some pixels labeled Paris, but the app doesn't need to know that it's Paris, it just needs to translate the pixel coordinates of the pin (relative to the image) to geographical coordinates, and look for images close to these coordinates.


Potentially the app could link out to a hosted webpage that allows selecting a location using a decent map and search UI, with network capability (but without requiring it in app)

Then on selecting a location you present a button that then jumps you back into the app via a universal link (passing in lon/lat)


Thanks, this is awesome. Colorized a few last images of my WWII grandfather who died in this war. One observation: on download the MIME type seems to by PNG format, but the binary file arriving is actually a (lossy compressed) JPEG. But anyhow! Great work!!


Yea agree! Would you mind sharing the bookmark?


Quote from the Github repo:

_"The following criteria guided the development process:

Get the right glyphs. Like the actual ones. By now everyone's heard how the Matrix glyphs are some treatment of Katakana, but they also include a few characters from Susan Kare's Chicago typeface. The Matrix glyphs in this project come from the source: cleaned up vectors from an old SWF for an official Matrix product, archived back in 2007. That's how deep this rabbit hole goes, friends. (Please support the Internet Archive!)"_


The config file describing the glyphs is worth looking at. Also all the variable settings with comments. Pretty awesome work:

https://github.com/Rezmason/matrix/blob/master/js/config.js


Thank you! A lot of what's possible via the configs is really tricky to specify via a URL, sadly, so I'm thinking of making a GUI to expose the rest of the knobs and switches. That's a ways down the road, though.

I'm glad the URL variable idea paid off, it makes it very easy to bookmark and share custom versions with other people ^_^


This really deserves the "made with love" attribute. That guy is insane!!!


Now that's some commitment!


Everyone needs a hobby! :D

A year ago, when the fourth movie's trailers premiered, I wrote a script to slice the glyphs out of the video, and then identified the new ones and redrew them as best as I could.

I missed a couple "punctuation marks" but the Resurrections version of the effect was live _ten days before_ the fourth film came out!

Lately some behind-the-scenes footage hit the web, and I was able to improve those glyphs them substantially, release a font, etc.

One could use stable diffusion or another AI to generate new characters.


Not sure why you're downvoted, the Matrix is canonically AI-generated. Any personal objection I'd have to this just cements the idea further to the fiction, you know?


One could use GPT-3 to generate new HN comments.
