Interesting idea, I'll have to give this a shot!

Pretty clever using the timezone offset to approximate the user's location without using GeoIP. I hadn't noticed that but sure enough, my (approximate) location is in view first.

I'm working on turning a small detached garage into an office! Manual labor is a nice change of pace from software.

We use B2 to store images on Vintage Aerial ( https://vintageaerial.com ), both high res scans and all kinds of thumbnail sizes. It is... a little slower than I'd like but with Cloudfront in front it has been manageable. I lo

This is great news... there are lots more good clients for S3 than B2, and implementing one is less than trivial because of some special considerations B2 had in the beginning (namely: uploading directly to a pod.) I see this isn't ava

There are lots of alternatives for Jenkins as a CI builder but I haven't found many for Jenkins as a web-based cron with a nice UI that keeps track of history, has tons of options for notifications on failures, and quickly allows re-bu

Finally! This looks great, there was a way to get access to Google Photos via the Drive API but a dedicated one is a nice surprise. However... I noticed a clause that requires a "Commercial license" if your app prints photos: >

Seconding the issues on the Load Balancer and 502s. We moved our app there earlier this year to take advantage of GKE and just sort of put up with random 502s (especially during deployments, which are supposed to be zero-downtime). We conta

Looking forward to more information about this as well. I'm thinking about wiring up an e-Paper display to a Pi for some digital signage applications and curious how you got it all to work, and the prices for doing so!

For the Mac there's also Pashua: https://www.bluem.net/en/projects/pashua/ which lets you generate a GUI for shell scripts.

Long-time ST2 and ST3 user. I think I've more or less moved to VS Code but wanted to chime in: Great website! And loads super fast.

I'm working on migrating an app right now (just one MySQL database) but can highly recommend [pgloader]( http://pgloader.io/ ). It has a bunch of built-in and configurable rules to cast different column types to PostgreS

The Aerial-to-Map example looks like this may be useful for automatic map/satellite rectification/georeferencing, but not sure how efficient it'd be if it has to compare against a large area. Does anyone have any experience i

This is a great guide! Very thorough. However there are so many moving pieces it makes me think I should just use a hosted Kubernetes solution like GKE instead of trying to roll my own...

I wonder if Amazon will ever open Lambda up to any Docker image? (I know it's possible to run binaries, but its a bit of a pain to compile with the Amazon AMI, etc.) Being able to have a bunch of `docker run` with any image would be pr
