iSH for iPhone: https://ish.app

Free, OSS, pretty great for ssh via VPN => tmux a => codex/claude

I set up Codex to send a notification when done over Pushover (https://pushover.net). With this setup, you can just ssh into a Mac or Linux box either way.

You could use the OpenCode legacy patcher to upgrade to v15/Sequoia: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

Restaurants generally have low margins. What brand recognition do social media platforms have with an average person? How much does it cost a restaurant to list themselves on social media? That's your competition, widely-known and free.

You'd probably have better luck if you gave them an actual dotcom address, and you managed all of their online presence for them (Google Maps, Facebook, Instagram, etc.). But even then it's hard to compete with free, especially when your prospective customers are stingy.

Edit: I suppose you're also competing with Uber Eats. You can already see menus there, whether you want delivery or not.

Basically the Larry David periscope car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQRm1cg8T8I

His idea was like a back up camera, but front-facing and elevated (retractable).

A protein soda pop, as they're pivoting to, sounds like a gross version of Coca Cola.

The protein bar could work. I personally don't like them, because most of them are just candy bars with added protein.

Meat substitutes (e.g. fake turkey made of tofu) are generally an inferior good, in both the economic sense and the sense of taste. It's not surprising to me that they don't work. Maybe if they're made much cheaper.

How is it on battery life to run the VPN continuously?

Glad it worked out. And I agree it’s annoying that this doesn’t just work out of the box. It’s not like node/nvm are uncommon, so you’d think they would have ran into the issue when using their own tool.

If the author reads this: I’m sorry that you and your girlfriend are going through this.

I would strongly suggest seeing a therapist. I’ve experienced traumatising moments in life, and therapy has been a great help.

It worked for me after I configured mise. I needed the mise setup in both `.zprofile` and `.zshrc` for Codex to pick it up. I think mise sets up itself in one of those by default, but Codex uses the other. I expect the same problem would present itself with nvm.

I.e. `eval "$(/Users/max/.local/bin/mise activate zsh)"` in `.zprofile` and `.zshrc`

Then Codex will respect whatever node you've set as default, e.g.:

    mise install node@24
    mise use -g node@24

Codex might respect your project-local `.nvmrc` or `mise.toml` with this setup, but I'm not certain. I was just happy to get Codex to not use a version of node installed by brew (as a dependency of some other package).

On top of using scriptio continua, you can write your emails in ancient Greek for that truly authentic feeling.

George: To cover my nervousness I started eating an apple, because I think if they hear you chewing on the other end of the phone, it makes you sound casual.

Jerry: Yeah, like a farm boy.

I'm reminded of an episode of Yes Minister with an empty hospital. The hospital has a full complement of administrative staff but no physicians or patients.

This is a really pragmatic approach.

Your errors-over-time chart feels pretty accurate to me. The yellow warnings line really sneaks up on you over time.

iSH is great as an ssh client. It has a good font out of the box, so it displays tmux and neovim properly.

a-Shell should be faster than iSH for local stuff since the tools are compiled natively, but nothing on iOS, as far as I know, compares to Termux on Android.

I’m still experimenting with them. I suspect you may have to do only one paragraph at a time and concatenate them together. Let me know if you’d be interested in collaborating, as I’m interested in this use case too.

That’s true. My point was intended to be from the author perspective, rather than from the user perspective. Namely that an author using an open source project as a political platform can potentially put the project at risk. Rightly or wrongly, that’s the world we live in. So it’s a trade-off the author has to decide, one way or the other. I’d personally prioritise the project over the political. But the Notepad++ author is free to use their project how they like. It’s theirs, after all.

I used to use “stare” or “stale” as the starting guess when I played Wordle, thinking you’d want to start off with the most common letters, like R-S-T-L-N-E from Wheel of Fortune.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions.

My opinion is that open source documentation is like polite dinner conversation: It’s not the proper place to discuss politics.

If an author wishes to use their open source project as a platform to discuss politics, that’s the author’s prerogative. But then, as perhaps in this instance, it could be to the detriment of the project itself.

You can just use the UI to make whatever schedule you want (monthly, daily, every Monday, etc.). I think it edits your crontab behind the scenes. I set it to daily, but you could set whatever you want. You can even have multiple schedule entries, similar to cron.

Edit: Yeah, the bootable backups have saved me more than once. It's great to just be able to keep working even when the system disk is kaput.
