"fancy asset catalog management system" - was thinking about building such solution lately - do you know any open-source solutions of this kind?


I’ve built or been involved in building 4 closed source media asset management systems ( including my current place of work and one I cofounded) and you can get relatively far in the first month.

But the devil is in the details and most people that attempt it don’t even get the database models right on the first or second time, they underestimate the complexity particularly when it comes to video and struggle when the use cases widen. Document asset management systems are way easier but usually don’t understand media as in depth as a media asset management system.


i dont understand the excitement here. it's just a HTTP wrapper for CLI command. you can build it easily on your own with any decent RAD framework


i think there should be bike-highways connecting larger cities in given country so you could travel larger distances using smooth tarmac like cars do


Yes, there should be cycle highways. A few countries, like Belgium [1], Denmark [2], and Netherlands [3], already have them.

what about this: https://www.qmatic.com/solutions/virtual-queuing-system ? isnt this idea implemented already by various entities?


i would say that it is just begining


im pretty happy with jellyfin. shame it cannot load external subtitles when playing movies on my Samsung TV via DLNA :(


i have exactly the same feelings/experiences. i started to ride a bike when pandemic begun and it really improved my comfort of living and ovearll "mental" attitude. its really not about fitness but more like a therapy for a brain to reset. its best to ridea in areas where you can be close to the nature as the presence of nature also contributes


If you are running or cycling it is VERY important to stretch extensively afterward. Perfectly "healthy" and trim cyclists and runners can end up with back problems that lead to all sorts of health problems because they have not stretched the legs and core regulalry. Ham strings tighten up like steel cords and can ruin your back...especially if you sit for significant periods of time each day. I have learned this the hard way.


why is hacker-news flooded lately with mastodon-related content? it's irritating


Because a rich man recently bought Twitter, because he felt some people were managing to avoid what he says. Some people think that it would be nice to find somewhere else to hang out


Yeah, those people don't actually try to avoid what the rich man says - they wouldn't have anything to be upset about otherwise. I mean, join Mastodon and see what's trending on Fediverse - it's the constant "rich man did this", "rich man did that", non stop, ad nauseam, for months now.

No, it's about a whole beehive of drama queens who thought Twitter is their domain, who saw their hated rich man prove them wrong by literally buying it from under them.


A related thought I've had a number of times:

One enormous consequence of how social media globalization works is that the attention span of the whole world becomes centralised. We can only talk about one thing or a few things at a time. Those become the hyper focus of the whole internet. In every forum those topics seep in. Trying to resist "the current thing" becomes very exhausting. It's very hard to even talk about local issues when there are a few big issues that draws everyone's attention. I feel like this is one of the most dramatic changes for the last two decennia.


Because Twitter is.

It's even worse on the Fediverse, which is flooded with both Mastodon- and Twitter-related discussion.


It's quite annoying honestly.


The best of times, the worst of times.

Mastodon has gotten a boost, potentially orders of magnitude, in recent weeks as people evaluate their utility with Twitter.

As a new fediverse explorer, it is fun in a way MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter were at first.


I see your point. At the same time, - imho - it is exciting to see how we might witness the beginning of an eruption in the established social media landscape.


Musk has been running around being the Internet's favorite clown for the last ~10 days and is causing massive disruption. Mastodon is the twitter competitor, and as a federated product has a bunch of independent uncoordinated cheerleaders.


And because it's federated, it will never work in any of the ways they are pissed off at Elon for changing in Twitter. You just can't make stuff like this up - it's amazing to watch!


Eh, so long as the walled garden collapses, no?


What's hilarious is they are mad *their* walled garden collapsed. Fleeing to a federated service isn't going to help them build a new walled garden - watching them figure that out has been very entertaining, to say the least.


Because Twitter is now being monetized like a free dating app. Pay to boost.


I similarly wonder if others have an allergy to "you should".


i have.

basically i created separate KeePass database and put all things i want to disclose there (like banks passwords, mobile unlock pattern etc.). what's nice about keepass is that you can store media files like images besides passwords.

this database is in Google Drive and shared with my relative. the password to the database is printed on paper and stored in the envelope - any my relative knows where to search for this envelope in case something happens.
