I love the pattern of compiling rust libraries and cli tools to webassembly and hosting them on a static webpage so people can easily try them out.

I needed a MPEG-TS to MP4 converter library, and now you can try it here: www.bitstream.io/ts-to-mp4/

Bluesky videos don't unfurl in Slack, so I added video importing to my bluesky-helper slack app.

It now both unrolls threads and imports videos into Slack for you:

Our NYE tradition: making donations to @aclu.org, @archive.org, @eff.org, @msf.ca, @ppfa.org, @raicestexas.bsky.social, @splcenter.org, the SF Food Bank, and @walksf.org

A few more of those bsky handles resolve now compared to last year.

Also, this year we are adding @propublica.org to the list!

Holidays are a good time to check what scam App Store subscriptions your parents got suckered into.

The latest one is this scam OfferUp subscription my mom has.

Does she use it? No. Does she know she is subscribed to it? No. Does she get billed $20 every month by OfferUp? Yes. Total scam.

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.

The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.

They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

Why is Sarah Kendzoir, an author and journalist who covers authoritarian regimes, suspended on bluesky?

Even X and substack haven’t suspended her.

So much for “Bring your own algorithm”. This is a fail for Bluesky.

We are quickly sliding past the era when you could find info on YouTube on how to fix almost anything.

YouTube search results are now full of AI slop repair videos that help no one.

An opportunity for ifixit or instructables to own this space perhaps.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

The neighborhood closes the street to cars for Halloween and it results in giant costumes and pure joy!

I didn’t believe this would work but I grabbed one of these flags before crossing the street and it actually makes a difference in getting cars to stop for you!

The marigolds are part of a memorial for neighbor who was killed in a hit and run here.

Crosswalk flags by safestreetsbernal.org at the intersection where a neighbor was killed in a hit and run. Grab a flag from one side of the crosswalk and leave it at the other.

When things get this bad we probably need more safety infrastructure than diy flags, but maybe it helps…

My take on Rogan is that Spotify users are partially responsible for the global rise of deadly anti-vax nonsense and the resurgence of measles in America, and if you send me a Spotify link I will judge you as someone helping make the world a worse place.
Joe Rogan is confusing measles with chicken pox

Did something change with the Discover feed so that it is no longer stable when logged in? Every time I refresh it to get new posts, I end up with a completely different set of posts.

Lime has figured a way around Lyft’s regulated monopoly on Bike Share in the Bay Area! They simply took the pedals off their e-bike and called it a “Glider”.

There is a SFBA Bench Collective bench at the bus stop near my house. It is constantly being used during the day, but sometimes gets tagged.

Rustoleum “Warm Carmel” spray paint is a good way to keep these clean and keep them from being reported to the city. It dries completely in 20 min.
