Agreed! I like music that can be enjoyed either active or passive listening. The main requirement is that it have no vocals. Here's my go-to Spotify playlist while coding.

I use https://porjo.github.io/freshtube/ almost daily. It requires a Google API key but only have to set it once.

Ever been to a social event where, by the end, everyone is yelling at each other to be heard over the noise of other people yelling at each other! I give you the Lombard effect.

The traditional way of ordering a drink at a bar requires a small degree of engagement with your fellow patrons and bar staff. In my experience people under 30 just don't want to 'engage' with strangers: make eye contact, smile, make small talk. I've noticed this in the work place with younger colleagues and with hospitality staff in general. It's not surprising they would prefer to form a queue and take their turn before hurrying back to the safety of their group of friends.

Meanwhile they're so high value, organised criminals are stealing them from driveways and shipping them to middle east: https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/family-...

I don't want to diminish the effort put into this project, but it's a reminder to me of just how many markdown editors there are out there! And yet I'm still searching for the holy grail:

- wysiwyg editor (not live preview)

- simplicity: single binary that can be pointed at a directory of markdown files

- fast launch time, low latency UI

- cross platform

- comes with basic 'extras' like tables & code block support

I actually really like the Confluence editor experience. If I could get that in an FOSS 'offline' package, my needs would be met.

You've basically described Ferrite's design goals! Let me check the boxes:

Single binary — ~15MB, point it at a directory with ferrite ./notes/ or open workspace via UI

Fast launch, low latency — Native Rust/egui, instant startup, no Electron

Cross platform — Windows/Linux/macOS

Tables & code blocks — GFM tables, syntax-highlighted code blocks (40+ languages)

WYSIWYG — This is where it gets nuanced. Ferrite has three modes:

- Rendered mode — Click-to-edit rendered Markdown (closest to WYSIWYG)

- Split view — Raw editor + live preview side-by-side

- Raw mode — Plain text editing

It's not pure "type and it formats inline" like Typora or Confluence. The Rendered mode lets you click elements to edit them, but it's not seamless WYSIWYG yet.

If you're looking for true inline WYSIWYG, Typora is probably closest. But if split view + rendered mode works for you, give Ferrite a try — it hits the other criteria well.

I use this to sync my wife's photos to Immich and it works great, however the auth process is a bit of a pain (not the fault of icloudpd) and have to reauth every few months.

It is a pain.

I’ve wrapped it in some short scripts which notifies on auth failure and it’s an easy process to run the auth script. But there’s no way to avoid the bi-monthly inconvenience I don’t think.

Because icloudpd supports downloading photos from icloud and rclone does not (yet): https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/8734

It's depressing to note that air travel accounts for similar total yearly emissions but is up to 50x more polluting on a per unit of cargo/people transported.

Or you (and your future partner) practice abstinence until you're ready to commit to a lifelong monogamous relationship.

Yeah, one downside to giving this vaccine to your kids is you're basically telling them you expect they won't do this, even if they plan to (and you planned to, and in fact did). But pediatricians talk about how you really have to do it young, before they're going to be sexually active, and how it's hard to get later (not entirely true, as demonstrated by the comments here).
