Dang, I once had a guy kindly offer me like 30/70 to make him a poker hand training app (no money up front it was gonna be the next Facebook of app ideas)

Saw only two people the entire two day trip (and both were in the final mile). I suppose it was a weekday…

Finished my first solo backpacking trip! The north shore is gorgeous, still my favorite region in the entire world.

Did about 12 miles total on the Superior Hiking Trail, with an extra half mile in there where I got lost on another trail. Rained a little overnight but still a great trip

Ironically I just saw a post from 3 months ago on For You and was very confused

that would be perfect imo for like little things that could eventually scale up to a whole appview implementation. Great idea

The worst part about being away from home is I can’t view my graphs ;(

In many ways, C is a quirky, Earthbound-inspired RPG

I'm enjoying making Grafana dashboards for my home server WAY too much

finally, some Good Code

crates.io/crates/fibon...

Screenshot of the fibonacci-numbers README, which reads:

First install the version of this crate corresponding to the Fibonacci number you want to use:

cargo add fibonacci-numbers@186 --rename fib186

Then you can use the VALUE constant to get its value:

assert_eq!(fib186::VALUE, 332825110087067562321196029789634457848);

Screenshot of the dependency list, which is fibonacci-numbers at versions 184 and 185.

Has no one made like a little iOS or Mac app for viewing Prometheus metrics? I know it’s niche but I’d like to not run the whole Grafana server on my laptop and also be able to look at graphs on my phone

I have too much time rn so I now have prometheus metrics for my PDS and whatever else I put on here in the future

Khan Winter @khanwinter.com · 4d

I bet you can. It’s just a Node server and a data dir
