This is similar advice to one of the Atomic Habits chapters about identity. You might find it a chore to go the gym if you frame it to yourself that way. But if you call yourself an athlete, or just "i'm a fit person" and tha

Did this 20 years ago, it was called Schoeneswochenende Fahrkarte "Good weekend" ticket. You could get all over the country, but real slow. I met loads of people and got invited to people's homes, because they didn't typ

https://notimeforbooks.com Was fun for a while and mostly for myself. A few 100 ppl used it, but I found I didn't really enjoy reading that way as I thought I would... especially when Covid killed commutes.

I had the Delaware registration / California operating setup. The wind down is just as many steps. Cancelling sales / use tax registrations, the SoS registration, making your FTB tax is all paid and then cancelled in both states.

4. Egress costs from the clouds are non-trivial for large datasets. So now you're locked into both your db and your cloud.

-z only shows AS numbers, not names. The point of this is to quickly tell you companies and networks you recognize. Also, mtr requires sudo to run.

-A gets you the AS, my tool looks up the name. So you can see "Oh, it goes from Comcast, to Cogent to Google." cool. Rather than ASNs which you don't immediately recognize.

Nice job! Two clicks on my phone and first route was spot on.

Nice -- thanks for that. Very similar approach. The "5 minutes" or "20 pages" instead of one seems to be ringing through pretty clearly. Might make that an option when you subscribe.

Heheh, War and Peace via text message would be commitment!

Ha! That's another vote for the "send me 5 pages" or "send me 10 pages" link in the emails.

Thank you good sir.

Nice. I thought of doing a similar thing, but being a recovering startup guy, I was like, I should totally build this as a platform and let others read books this way. :p Plus, a big part of why I kept going with it was because I wanted t

Erm... new for me? I typed a 'page per day' in Google and didn't find what I was looking for. In essence, it's serializing books, which has been done for > 100 years. I have some more ideas as to where I'd like t

Thanks Zack! (Full disclosure, I work with Zack at Cloudflare on the Product team). The fact I could build the whole thing on Cloudflare Workers is one of the reasons I took it as far as I did. I like writing code, but i groan at the though

Ah, burned through the free limit on the email service. Back up now. :D

Hey there... so I've been considering user uploaded content. I think it could be a great alternative medium for self-publishing. Needs a bit more work, but I'll post back here if I release that.

500 is fixed... you can request additional pages from a footer link in the email, but requesting 5 or 10 would be good.

I exhausted the free tier on the email service, which unfortunately killed the sign up page. Works now if you want to go again.

Oh cool! What was your motivation? I mention the origin story in a comment up higher.

Thanks, I only want your email address when you've chosen a book. But yes, you're not guided to that well enough. The UI today is very much a template with some content replaced rather than being designed from the ground up to opt

It has to be public domain (and on Project Gutenberg), which typically means real old. The first book you mentioned is from 1974, so would still be in copyright.

It just uses the SendGrid API, I don't run the email server. They have a 100 emails per day on the free plan and while it goes to Updates or Promotions on Gmail, it doesn't get spammed (at least so far). If it becomes popular, I&#
