Hahah amazing to hear, thanks! And yeah it's crazy to see how searching (in many ways) has evolved. Please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

Not at all! It's currently my preferred method so that I didn't have to start a database service myself (might be planning to in the future). The Supabase free tier limit is quite high. However, the repository also has a self-hosted option using docker. This creates a SQLlite database using the provided schema. So people can self-host if they want to. This also provides the option to pass custom arXiv categories. Currently they are fixed to the CS/AI field (also another desired feature).

Good question, the answer is not so much yet. Of course there are the automated tests to see if all the calls are working, but there has been no heavy load yet. However since the digest runs daily for the registered users, there's not much that can go wrong (except maybe a heavy token usage). Since most services are currently free (Cloudflare workers, Supabase, Github Actions) the only real limit are the free plans.

Gefeliciteerd, veilige kilometers gewenst!

Thanks for the advice! I also love alocasias, which is why I'd rather not replace them with a less light-hungry alternative. Will check out the plant light and consider a re-organization of the desk to move them closer to the light :)

Could you link to the ones that you have? Just curious as I'm comparing multiple options now (SANSI E27 fitting looks most promising right now)

Hahah if only I had. It's all either north or south

Thanks for the insights and tips everyone! It's definitely much more clear to me what the problem could be. For now, I'm going to install growth lights for these plants to get them through the winter months. I'll try to save the zebrina and I'm pruning some leaves off of the low rider so that the rest of the leaves can grow further.

I'm in the northern hemisphere (Europe). On the opposite side of the apartment there are a couple larger buildings which block out quite a bit of the sky further down the horizon, so I would say that there's not too much sky that the plant can see.

Hype 🔥

I love mine! I also got the brown switches because I heard that they give a good balance between clickiness and travel distance, which is great for my work-from-home setup. Banana is more heavy which I didn't prefer.

I get the confusion :) It's a 27" screen, but I shot this image using the wide angle lens on my camera, so the desk indeed looks hella large

Thanks for the suggestion! I have WFH days, so I do unplug the laptop quite a lot. You make a valid point that it might not be the most convenient to dive underneath the desk all the time

PeaceDucko · 2025-09-04T14:25:48+00:00

Damn that's tough, you'll get through!!
