no way!!!! I searched for a long time for a solution like this, many could encrypt using shamir but none took an actual file with browser upload and easy UX. and like, 14 years ago? my hats down to you my friend.

my zip bundles are 1-2 megabytes due to all the wasm, and you achieved this on so little. impressive job!

I'd love to hear what you think about mine, one of the differences is that it creates a ZIP file containing the recovery app in it, as well as a PDF with instructions for non-technical friends. Overall trying to make the recovery experience as smooth as possible.

but cheers, your version is the only one that I found that does basically what mine does, all the others fall short one way or another!


I wonder how many thousands or millions of useful projects are so well hidden that they are effectively nonexistent.


you know, I've always thought that "If I know I have something... somewhere, but I don't know where that thing is is, I have effectively lost it"


I agree with the sentiment, and the specific wording of your comment made me want to link to the classic bash.org quote[0] which has consistently been in the top 5 for a long time, but I just learned that we lost bash.org... :(

ayyyyyyyyyyyy lmao 100%

also RIP bash.org found out thru you :(


hi! Does this bring us closer to a gemini-cli like experience using a local modal that can run on a macbook pro? It felt like gemma3n was already 'smart' enough it just wasn't tuned for tool use.


Its definitely a step in that direction. I use Gemma models on my local macbook all the time and am personally excited to have this one available for me at home now as well


I've lived car free in SF for 12 years it's very walkable! Just start out in the mission for max socializing and transit access and then you can live somewhere else when you've gotten to know the city.

You can take bike share and the bus everywhere, housing is expensive but less so than nyc!


Any time you specify an sRGB color for the web you are building on 80+ year old work to standardize color specification.

I wrote a thing to get anyone interested in color science ramped up on some basics, enjoy!


Visualizing this dataset has been my end of year side project for a few years now.

The hardest part was matching hundreds of friend's various usernames across different services to the same person. It's a process that's difficult to automate, even with some helper scripts it took a couple days to manually curate the mapping.

The svgs for the grid are in pre-rendered static files made with node/jsdom, which was pretty fun to write.

Data sources:

Skype history file

Facebook data download

Google Voice and Google Hangouts data download

Email (for oldschool gchats)

iPhone backups, for SMS/iMessage

Slack API


it worked!

I wrote this to address exactly this intuition about film.

But tl;dr, the experience of shooting film and digital have huge differences and the photos you get at the end are influenced by the process of taking them. They are not just pixels that exist in a vacuum.


Excellent reading. I smiled at this “Unlike the dSLR, this camera isn’t a black box”.


He is using the neighbor's guest hotspot not his own.


I think you can connect to your neighbors xfinity hotspot without using up any of their private bandwidth allocation. The hotspot connection gets its own.


That's what they want you to think. ;)


Hey cool, my friend made the same extension only it uses github's server highlighted html instead of a javascript highlighter.

This is excellent - congratulate your friend!
