Don't they already to this with maps routing? I thought this was the norm.

Do you mean something like rerouting you to make sure you pass a mcdonald’s at lunch time? Or are you talking about mcdonald’s always showing up when you search for food along your route? Rerouting would surprise me, but really it wouldn’t surprise me that much at this point.

Rerouting. Not that it completely takes over the route ofc, but that (potential) ad revenue is a metric just like traffic, speed limits et.c. that gets considered in the decision making.

With cryptographic keys, normally stored on a smartphone. BankID[0] is the most common solution, but there are others. I personally use biometric 2fa to log in, and PIN to sign contracts or pay.

I was surprised too to need it in front of RDS (but not on vanilla, as you pointed out).


Does it handle both recurring events and recurrence?

E.g. move the lawn every other week vs pay rent on the 17th every month. If I go a week overdue on rent I still need to pay the next on the 17th. If I go a week overdue on the lawn I don't need to mow again for two weeks, not one.


For recurring tasks, the tool tracks the current interval and don't attempt to verify past intervals. Similar to past due single time tasks, they won't show unless you query specifically.

One of the reason is complexity, the other is that I'd rather have this tool be helpful whenever invoked, vs. forcing users to remember to update yet another tool.


I thought at first that this would be Holes[0], a novel by Louis Sachar.

Ie, “Magic Realism for Kids”. It’s an excellent book (as is everything else Louis Sachar wrote).


stoically, the maintainer and creator of this extension unfortunately passed in early 2023. There's a new fork available[0], linked from github[1].

I briefly discussed this extension and how to proceed after the passing of a maintainer with Mozilla staff in their Extensions and People teams at FOSDEM this year, but there was no real procedures in place at the time of our chat.

Yes, that's truly sad that he passed. It is fortunate that he left that open-source project, where others can pick up the torch. As the forks continue, it becomes a small tribute to him.


Oh, damn, good to know thanks! Sad news indeed.

The jargon files[0] are also a fun old source. I particularly liked the stories about Magic and Mel. They are all under Appendix A.

Ente looks like Immich[0] (which I self-host for myself and family) with e2ee. I like non-e2ee because if something breaks then the files are stored as-is on disk for easy retrieval.

Ente CLI [0] has an export service with read only access to the cloud and deletes are renamed.

The Go binary runs everywhere including most NAS except at least 1GB RAM is needed for decrypting the master key due to Argon2.

It's amazing how close it looks to Google Photos, Immich might be the perfect fit if Google chooses to hike the price again.


Firefox Multi-Account Containers ("container tabs") together with Temporary Containers[0]. Every tab is as isolated and ephemeral as possible unless there's a need.

I also use profiles, for work and leisure. Mostly for differentiating extensions and the data they get access to (no container tabs at work, and very few extensions there overall), but also for bookmarks.

Thanks, been wanting some temporary containers but did not know about this.
