It has sleep tracking with snore and cough tracking

Isn’t that the plot to Mirror’s Edge?

The fact that is is from LA Times shows that it’s still significant though

Back before the media decided it wasn’t a competitor but rather a potential profit source. I do think the government does need to have it’s own alternatives (obviously not identical more on this one day) for other reasons, such as for it’s own media releases, but more internationally coordinated appropriate & considered legislation is probably better.

This. Although I’m not sure if it’s about in-app display, but it needs to be on the store and on a website somewhere.

I asked chatgpt to write a go program for this, this looks roughly correct (I have used both libraries before) obviously this won’t be enough for your particular use case. I imagine you can integrate an RSS feed to your site, however if you’re using something like hugo perhaps output it as a csv.

Super low effort but a good start I think:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"os"
	"strings"
	"time"

	git "github.com/go-git/go-git/v5"
	rss "github.com/jteeuwen/go-pkg-rss"
)

const (
	timeout = 5 // timeout in seconds for the RSS feed generation
)

// Repository represents a git repository with its URL
type Repository struct {
	URL string
}

// Repositories is the list of git repositories
var Repositories = []Repository{
	{URL: "https://github.com/owner/repo1"},
	{URL: "https://github.com/owner/repo2"},
	// Add more repositories here
}

// FetchLatestTag fetches the latest tag from a git repository
func FetchLatestTag(repoURL string) (string, string, error) {
	// Clone the repository to a temporary directory
	dir, err := os.MkdirTemp("", "repo")
	if err != nil {
		return "", "", err
	}
	defer os.RemoveAll(dir)

	_, err = git.PlainClone(dir, true, &git.CloneOptions{
		URL:      repoURL,
		Progress: os.Stdout,
	})
	if err != nil {
		return "", "", err
	}

	repo, err := git.PlainOpen(dir)
	if err != nil {
		return "", "", err
	}

	tags, err := repo.Tags()
	if err != nil {
		return "", "", err
	}

	var latestTag string
	var latestCommitTime time.Time

	err = tags.ForEach(func(ref *plumbing.Reference) error {
		tag := ref.Name().Short()
		commit, err := repo.CommitObject(ref.Hash())
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		if commit.Committer.When.After(latestCommitTime) {
			latestCommitTime = commit.Committer.When
			latestTag = tag
		}
		return nil
	})
	if err != nil {
		return "", "", err
	}

	return latestTag, latestCommitTime.Format(time.RFC1123Z), nil
}

// GenerateRSS generates an RSS feed from the latest tags of the repositories
func GenerateRSS() string {
	feed := rss.Feed{
		Title:       "Latest Tags from Git Repositories",
		Link:        &rss.Link{Href: "http://example.com/"},
		Description: "This feed provides the latest tags from a list of git repositories.",
		Created:     time.Now(),
	}

	for _, repo := range Repositories {
		tag, date, err := FetchLatestTag(repo.URL)
		if err != nil {
			log.Printf("Error fetching latest tag for repository %s: %v", repo.URL, err)
			continue
		}
		feed.Items = append(feed.Items, &rss.Item{
			Title:       fmt.Sprintf("Latest tag for %s: %s", repo.URL, tag),
			Link:        &rss.Link{Href: repo.URL},
			Description: fmt.Sprintf("The latest tag for repository %s is %s, created on %s.", repo.URL, tag, date),
			Created:     time.Now(),
		})
	}

	var rssFeed strings.Builder
	rssFeed.WriteString(xml.Header)
	if err := feed.Write(&rssFeed); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Error generating RSS feed: %v", err)
	}

	return rssFeed.String()
}

func main() {
	rssFeed := GenerateRSS()
	fmt.Println(rssFeed)
}

Thanks

For another conversation I need some evidence of that, where did you find it?

This sounds like FUD to me. If it were it would be acquired pretty quickly.

I like the idea and have been meaning to build / find something like this however this does a little too much and in not quite the way I want. But it’s cool for those who need this exact implementation.

Where your friends are?

Thanks. I didn’t know, it is also on my list.

That part was understood. I don’t think I could complete 1 game in that period of time.

Microsoft invests a lot of time and effort in (selective) backwards compatibility. It’s one of the draws to the OS. In past leaks of code we have seen it’s code base is littered with special cases. I can’t find the link but here have this almost good enough reddit link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/lpdn0x/microsoft_really_understands_backward/

Burn read only backups.

Not sure 12 hours is enough time for me to grab much. Perhaps my backlog.

The busybox one seems great as it comes with shells. php looks like it would add some issues.

Personally since I use go, I would create a go embedded app, which I would make a deb, rpm, and a dockerfile using “goreleaser”

package main

import (
	"embed"
	"net/http"
)

//go:embed static/*
var content embed.FS

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		// Serve index.html as the default page
		http.ServeContent(w, r, "index.html", nil, content)
	})

	// Serve static files
	http.Handle("/static/", http.StripPrefix("/static/", http.FileServer(http.FS(content))))

	// Start the server
	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}

Would be all the code but allows for expansion later. However the image goreleaser builds doesn’t come with busybox on it so you can’t docker exec into it. https://goreleaser.com/customization/docker/

Most of the other options including the PHP one seem to include a scripting language or a bunch of other system tools etc. I think that’s overkill

Don’t let your guard down but at some point trust and risk consideration is required for most systems to work. If you’re after solutions; you could run your own node in the cloud and federate it.

Is it mostly retries?

Matrix with bridges can help consolidate them. Some managed versions exist like Beeper and Element. Been slowly moving to that. Will eventually self host.
