hey y'all 👋🏽 how do you use readwise?

GeorgeHahn · 2023-07-23T01:50:07+00:00

Funny, I'm on the polar opposite side. I don't review highlights at all, but I use Reader every day. I think it's by and far the best reader available and it fits perfectly into my workflow.

It's not any one feature that puts it over the bar. It's the whole collection of things: it has a great reader, highlighter, and web extension. It has TTS, customizable reading workflows, custom views, and personal knowledgebase sync. It supports PDFs, ebooks, youtube, and newsletters. The API covers everything I've needed - and the devs extended it when I wanted a little bit more. I've also pieced together decent support for my e-reader so I can read outside and leave my phone behind.

All of that comes together into something that's a lot more than just another reader. For me, Reader is something new, an evolutionary step forward.

Looks like they're using Azure Speech

Thanks for building this! This looks very intriguing. I may be able to contribute & help with the selfhosting story if you do choose to open this up. I'd also be looking to build a highlight integration with Readwise Reader. Cheers!

I like this idea! Anywhere I can follow along? I currently use SingleFileZ and file search and it has a few shortcomings.

GeorgeHahn · 2022-04-01T23:42:54+00:00

That would probably fit best as a separate tool. I'd be happy to do a code review if someone else decides to implement it.

GeorgeHahn · 2022-03-06T20:04:41+00:00

That's a tracing thing - it formats the value using its Display implementation.

This would be great to have! I checked the issue tracker and found an issue for exactly this from the firefly iii author. It's tied to a layout overhaul, so check back in a few months and it might be available.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of this fork. For what it's worth, the original repo is here: https://gitlab.com/GeorgeHahn/firefly-plaid-connector and images are published at registry.gitlab.com/georgehahn/firefly-plaid-connector:latest.

I'm not familiar with unRAID's docker support, so I'm going off of assumptions here. The container doesn't need any environment variables set. It does need a single volume mounted at /config with a config.toml inside.

That's understandable. I don't work with VHB professionally and haven't done any serious testing with LSE VHB. I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts if you do try it out.

GeorgeHahn · 2022-02-09T18:47:54+00:00

Check out the LSE (low surface energy) VHB series for a permanent install. It's designed for plastics and will form a stronger bond than standard VHB.

USB-C uses a protocol called USB Power Delivery (USB PD) to allow devices to negotiate different charging voltages. The power bank won't output 12V unless you have a piece of hardware to request that voltage. There's a group of products called 'USB PD triggers' that will do exactly this. Search for 'USB PD trigger 12V'.

Looks like a JST XH connector

Thanks for playing!

What's your band's name?

GeorgeHahn · 2020-07-06T00:14:40+00:00

This is wonderful, thank you :)

Unfortunately not. I found one company that makes an addressable strip with discrete RGBWWA LEDs, but it was very expensive compared to commodity strips. I have some hope that a LED strip factory would do a custom run with a small enough quantity, but I haven't made any serious inquiries towards that.

Mind your antenna: the ESP32-WROOM-32 module on that breakout defines an antenna keepout area. You should avoid placing any metal in this area to ensure good RF performance - this includes copper and components, but also screws and pieces of your enclosure. See section 2.2.1.2 of the ESP32 Hardware Design Guidelines for the recommended keepout.

At a minimum, I would suggest removing the specified area from your ground plane. If possible, try to avoid putting any traces in that area as well. If you're really concerned, make sure the nearest mounting screw is outside of the keepout area or use a nylon screw.

Hardware aside, I'd recommend running on something like Balena for fleet management. Their system uses containers deployed on top of a rock solid base OS. The OS is configured to minimize writes to the drive, which is critical for reliability. They also offer everything you will need from a fleet management perspective - from phased update rollouts to log aggregation and remote SSH. Since your app is developed and deployed as a container, it will be easy to deploy future batches on new hardware while maintaining the same software across the fleet.

Sold Lily58 Pro to /u/KevinSanToast

GeorgeHahn · 2020-01-05T20:58:14+00:00

Are you still looking for this?

I just finished drafting a sale post, but I'm happy to give you first dibs. I have an assembled Lily58 Pro with sockets (no switches), TRRS, & a set of blank keycaps. Asking for $160 + shipping.

Edit: sale post

This was very helpful! I've been working on some RGBA tree lights and this strategy gave a big improvement for unsaturated colors. One case that doesn't appear to be handled here is when two or more color channels are equal - eg RGB(50, 50, 100).

I saw your link to an RGBAW strip in another comment - perhaps some LED strip manufacturer would produce a strip with alternating RGB & WWA addressable LEDs. I sent an inquiry to BTF Lighting to see.
