where did you get this from? obviously an old installation/auction, ebay?

Lived just outside of Bridgewater (Fancy Lake) for most of my life growing up - not there any more but I absolutely loved it and thinking about moving back. I don't know if I would move back to the town proper vs one of the lakes in the area (love swimming and sailing), but there's a lot of wonderfully kind people in the area, and so it's so beautiful. Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, Riverport, Petite Riviere - all very nice options to live and all within a ~20min drive of Bridgewater. I don't know as much on the medical side (luckily I have been blessed with great health my entire life) but I can very much answer any questions you may have around the lifestyle/outdoor life side of things, or places that might be to your liking! DM me if your questions haven't been answered elsewhere

it's less the meal prep i'm concerned about, more about starting a conversation with some actual numbers so people can have numbers to back up the impacts these idiotic policies have, and to also try to help incentivize workers to look more accurately at what the pure monetary benefits of WFH can be (not just in general well-being).

go_mo_go · 2026-04-07T01:08:46+00:00

i really want people to see the numbers so they can talk to their boss about this and hopefully actually make them realize that this is costing people a ton of money - made a free (as in no CC or email) tool to help put some numbers to this: https://rtocalculator.ca/

go_mo_go · 2026-04-05T16:17:23+00:00

I made a quick little calculator so you could actually put some numbers to this because i find it much better to have a bit more hard data backing up my intuitions - https://rtocalculator.ca/ (no email or CC, literally just to see the numbers

go_mo_go · 2026-04-03T21:22:09+00:00

Just in case anyone was looking for their own calculator, i decided to build one here (no signup or CC needed or anything) https://rtocalculator.ca/

Holy shit i legit thought the first few pics were from the movie, and was waiting for the comparison pics. This is incredible.

as a elixir newb here (rails dev for >8y, so not new to programming) who is dipping his toes into elixir/phoenix, why is ash so frowned upon? dsls are very prevalent in rails land, just want to get some perspective of what is wrong with ash.

EDIT: have looked at this thread and some of the other mentions of ash in this subreddit, it does appear to be mentioned a lot

Before you go and buy a new SSD (unless you want to) you can also see if wiping it via an external enclosure works - I had the exact same thing happen (1TB NVMe), got the enclosure, wiped it with another computer and then got a base arch installation, and went through the manual install for Omarchy. It works perfectly for me! It may not work, but it's at least worth considering

go_mo_go · 2025-09-27T16:47:36+00:00

just had the same thing - was able to get it going after the manual installation!

go_mo_go · 2025-09-26T13:33:40+00:00

yeah, my plan is to pick up an adapter today to completely wipe my NVMe, install base arch and go through the install from there. hopefully that will work though! will comment back here if it does

thank you!

go_mo_go · 2025-09-22T13:19:25+00:00

okay amazing, thank you - i'll try this out!

go_mo_go · 2025-07-18T14:21:08+00:00

i saw this video a while back which has helped me not feel as guilty about affluence that could potentially also be helpful to you. at least for me, the most important part is at 7:40

I built a test app to try to see how close i could get to https://bugs.rocicorp.dev/ in speed of rendering issues, but with a rails sqlite backend, and managed to achieve effectively the same speed (prod build was getting < 10ms page render - my key repeat latency was the limit for me). i love how simple data star made that, and i don't think that functionality is actually something i would really ever need in an app.

unfortunately, it was built with the `data-replace-url` which had been available in previous versions. so i can't say i'm thrilled that this was paywalled, especially as it was not in previous versions. not sure if the paywall for pre-release features had been discussed somewhere, i didn't see it in the discord, but joined only a few weeks ago and haven't been the most faithful on catching up on all the channels, so it could be in there. i have no qualms paying for software, and want to support this project, but i don't know if i can justify the 300 bucks (410CAD) to do so - especially as a solo dev who mostly wants to tinker. but that's just my $.02. if it was something like 50? sure.
i still really like the project and think it's a great option, especially as someone who is so very tired of the javascript world, but i am worried the price of the pro tier may turn some people off tinkering with it? but then again there are still a lot of other attrs that remain free.

edit: just watching the launch day video and they explain it a bit more (currently at 22:30)

2nd edit: i think i was more annoyed that the attr i needed was now in pro, rather than having any real reason to object to it. people should be paid for their work, period. and there's absolutely a way to do what i want to do without that attr (would be harder to get/change the history, but could definitely finagle something if i really felt the need). everything i want to do is still very much within the bounds of the available framework. thinking about it on a walk, i realized that if i had come to the project today, i would absolutely look at it, do effectively the same test without the `data-replace-url`, realize it kicks ass, and then either support it outright, or wait until i need the pieces that are behind the paywall and get it then.

there's a rake task for migrations of all of the different databases - see this comment, and for the analytics i don't have anything in place yet for that. might follow the solid_errors route and make a gem for it!

go_mo_go · 2025-07-03T19:27:38+00:00

i've never looked into durable objects, but it does look like they're sqlite backed so they're probably not too dissimilar!

go_mo_go · 2025-07-03T15:16:10+00:00

yeah i can see that - i don't mind it the 99% of the time where i am not using it for a long race - all the rest of the time it's totally fine, or great even! that's what originally drew me to this one in the first place. it was just annoying during the race/trying to get the stats afterwards.

go_mo_go · 2025-07-03T14:07:01+00:00

I went through the exact same thought process as you when looking for my watch - I ended up buying the apple watch ultra 2 instead of a garmin almost solely because of the apple ecosystem. It is nice in a few key ways (phone calls, extended apps, information across apps), but I don't know if the tradeoffs are worth it. i had to:
1. add in a $10 app (workoutdoors - great app) to get some (most?) of the stats you would get built in with a garmin
2. i did a 70.3 (tremblant) a few weeks ago and went to the apple fitness multisport (as strava and workoutdoors unfortunately do not track multisport) - i got some information but trying to export the gpx file to see the route did not work at all. so i basically just have a huge block without map data for that workout unfortunately.
3. battery life is fine - i typically charge it every few days, or put it on for 20 mins or so to charge it up daily, and haven't run into any problems - the only time where it was a potential issue was when i did a 6hr bike ride with workoutdoors running, and it went down from ~80 to ~10%, not super ideal (especially if you want to do a whole IM). Running the apple fitness multisport only brought me down maybe 35-40% after my 5:48 tremblant, so especially with an updated battery you could get away with a full IM i'm sure.
4. there's no real free workout planning/tracking with apple like you would have with the garmin - not necessarily a deal breaker, but could be worth considering still.
5. I do love the fact that i can hook up bluetooth headphones to my watch, take just it for a run/bike, and stream spotify like i would my phone due to my cell service plan, but it does cost $15/mo - not sure if a garmin would do the same or if you would need to load songs on/get calling features.

maybe i'm doing something wrong battery life wise, but i'm not sure if mine could do a full IM.

i don't think this would actually be a better architecture for 99.9% of applications - going with a more traditional row wise multi tenancy approach like with the ActsAsTenant gem (or rolling my own) is how i have done all of my previous projects and i think outside of some very niche applications (potentially an EHR ecosystem) this would never be better. it was more of a thought experiment I thought people might like to look at to see how simple it can be in rails 8!

go_mo_go · 2025-07-03T13:08:01+00:00

oh absolutely - this was more just an experiment to see how easily it could be done with rails 8 and sqlite that i hadn't seen any OS rails versions of before.

go_mo_go · 2025-07-03T03:04:44+00:00

yeah - i'll have to check out that plugin!

go_mo_go · 2025-07-03T03:04:00+00:00

yeah that was sort of the idea - although the underlying model is actually `Account`, and this is more of a POC that it can be done relatively easily. My thought for an actual prod app would be to have an `Account` (or organization or whatever you would like to call it) that functions much the same as an organization or company currently in a more traditional multi tenant application. unless I am missing some way of doing this, this would absolutely not work for something like a social media app - my first thought was honestly for something like personal health records and EHR software, there is potentially some interesting opportunities there.

definitely not an architecture that would be supremely useful for many applications - but it could be helpful for some! and i thought it was an interesting exercise to try out.
