Building a Zero Knowledge social app where physical presences is required to make connections and group decisions require consensus. Technically quite challenging, but also a lot of fun. #burningtokens

Trying to rewrite an app I made 17 years ago that only runs on windows servers and is still in production. I hate having to support anything on windows. Trying to move it from .net/windows to node/docker. #burningtokens

After getting so frustrated with toggl time tracking (they intentionally broke a bunch of stuff about 6 months ago), I finally decided to write my own.

If you're going to replace human support with chat bots, then at least give them the power to issue refunds or fix actual issues.

A chat bot that just regurgitates the FAQ is not useful to anyone.

Stumbled across an interesting "feature" in PostgreSQL. When paginating ordered sets, where the ordering is non-deterministic, records can be repeated across pages or missing completely. This is due to the internal optimisations. I wonder how many apps are unknowingly affected by this.

They also have a new scam - they'll charge you for speeding, based on their GPS device in the car. No police ticket needed. Even better. - repeatedly during one ride. Endless possibilities for errors (both GPS and map data) which you can't dispute anyhow. It's all a trap to keep your deposit.

@operagx.gg seems like an interesting browser, but no option to set @kagi.com as a search engine (or any custom search engine BTW). Back to FF I guess.

I've been trying to get back a deposit I gave to 123 Transporter almost 3 months ago.

For my Austrian friends, this company are running a scam and should be avoided.

Thinking take some wheels from their vans and hold them hostage until they return the money LOL.
