I was building an OpenTelemetry observability platform in a single executable file (in Golang) and was using ClickHouse as the database, and replaced it with an embedded DuckDB, so now it's truly a single executable file platform.

This looks solid! We are also going for a single-executable (typescript/bun in our case), but we are specifically going after agent monitoring in the first version. We think people shouldn't have to send all of their agent conversations to a vendor like DataDog or Sentry.


I really like the idea of reading blogs on my Kindle, so I built https://inkfeed.xyz

It's a web-based RSS reader optimized for e-ink devices (especially Kindles) that allows you to read blogs online via the Kindle browser, and download the blogs (directly on your Kindle or email it to your Kindle email).

I only tried it on my Kindle, can you try it on your ReMarkable and give me feedback?

And it does support fetching the full article using Mozilla's readability package!

Please try it and let me know what you think!


It's a neat idea. I think it needs some feedback wheb you click to choose. I asked for an article in mobi as a test, and it was 30 seconds for it to give it to me. I thought it was borked.

Maybe a "queuing" or something? It let me do other things until it was ready, like download the epub.


Were you logged in or not?

If you were not logged in, then the conversation happens on the Kindle itself so yeah it's gonna be slow.

If you were logged in and the "backend mode" was enabled, then the delay will most likely be fetching the article images, compressing them and converting them to jpeg on the backend, but there's a setting to choose if you want to embed images or not.


I wasn't logged in, and it was just my Android phone. I was testing.

I know what the delay was for, I mentioned it in my original reply. My point is, there's no visual indicator of what's happening. You click the button, and you don't know if the button's been clicked. The person wonders, "Did I miss?" So I, as anyone would, clicked again after a moment. And again. Still no indication.

I then moved on, looked at other options, clicked the epub, downloaded that, then the mobi option popped up.

Again, it looks neat. I'm just saying "put some feedback to indicate the button press worked", especially if it's an op which can take some time. It's standard UI stuff.

Good luck BTW, seems like a nice project.


It usually takes less time than that with backend mode on, but yeah you're right I should put some kind of an indicator for it.

Thanks for the feedback and the compliment!


Have you tested it with Kobo devices?


No, I only have a Kindle, but if it's compatible with the Kindle browser then it may be compatible with Kobo as well.

If you have a Kobo device can you try it please?


I think I might have what you want.

I built a web-based RSS reader for the Kindle browser (but it should work on other e-ink devices too).

You can read feeds online or download them directly on your device.

Please try it and let me know what you think!

https://inkfeed.xyz


https://reader.inkfeed.xyz/ seems to be returning "Error loading feed: Fetch failed: 0" for every feed


Can you tell me which feeds you tried and whether or not you're logged in?

I would love to get the feedback of fellow e-ink devices enjoyers!


I really like the UI. That I prefer to keep my Kindle “books only” is the only reason I might not use inkfeed.


But you can read the blogs online without downloading them, with full control over font settings. Is that not good enough?


What about Israel?


We support them but they don’t need us. Iran would crumble tomorrow without China. Also, Likud Israel might be gone after this year’s October election, whether we want it gone or not. Conversely, China acts as a virtual suzerain over Iran (and NK).


If you truly believe that Gaza would be entirely rubble as it is today without the last 2 decades of slavish US backing, I don't know what to tell you.

US is also best friends with the financiers of the horrific genocide in Sudan.

This isn't whataboutism because you're genuinely presenting it as if it's something very different from what the US has been up to for the last 60 years.


The slavish US backing is the same slavish backing we give to Egypt, both consequent on Camp David. It is very obvious - simple arithmetic - that Israel would have a much bigger and chearper arsenal if they traded arms with China, India, Russia etc. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just jewpilled.


Yeah, supporting Israel as we do is also insane. By that I mean delivering weapons so that they can continue their wars against their neighbors, their genocide, and their illegal, and extending occupation of the West Bank. Our politicians still don't find it in themselves to criticize Israel, after their actions have been recognized as Genocide.

Only a few countries in Europe have been more vocal about it, like Spain and I believe Ireland.

Especially, it hurts to see that German politicians are so uneducated, that they have learned nothing from history, and still act by the categories "Israel? Good!", "Against Israel? Evil!".


Even your comment looks like it's generated by AI.


"You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes." - Maimonides

I feel like "this is AI" needs to join the ranks "it's not that deep" and "this is a Wendy's" as an annoying thought-terminating cliche.


except 99% of AI—written content is spam. If the article was an ad for some company and also made no sense, would you hate on the guy who commented "this is an ad"?


Because that's not what happened? What? Neither smartmic's root-level comment or rdsubhas's response mention it being an ad. I was criticising adhamsalama's dismissal of rdsubhas's comment as AI, who also said nothing about it being an ad. I'm so baffled. Can you not see the structure or the content of this thread?


did you actually read my comment


I think this is deliberate to make a point. Even an AI doesn't use that many em dashes. GP wants you to question it as a "haha see? I'm human yet you called me an AI just like I thought!"


an unprompted LLM would not incorrectly add spaces on either side of their em dashes.


Rust does prevent race conditions.


Rust helps prevent some race conditions, but an unqualified "prevents race conditions" sounds like it eliminates them, hence why GP says it does not.


Is this the classic "split out obviously wrong facts to get corrected"?

I'll take the bait then. Here's rust official documentation stating that it doesn't prevent race conditions: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/races.html


It prevents "user A kicked B" and "user B revoked moderator permission from A" from arriving in a queue near the same moment?


Aren't closed models used to kill people by the US and Israel?


Will they stop killing if the open models will also start killing?


That sounds like a great idea. Let's stop killing people altogether. It's almost entirely unnecessary.


if everyone just…


almost


Did any company achieve this?

Have we seen a company fail because they're not adopting AI as much as their competitors?
