I believe bookshop.org works someowhere along the same terms.

Btw, I'm not a native english speaker, and I somewhat understood your tool looks for the cheapest place to stay. Now I have a page of results full with Waikiki books.


it doesn't work for me. that, or I feed it obscure songs.


would be cool if kiwix came with an auto-update feature, but given the database size, I believe it's difficult to implement.


I was looking at the Ergochair Pro from autonomous.ai

Tried Diablo V-Basic from Poland. Altough the back support was nice, my ass hurt. And a pillow simply didn't work on it, so I sold it.


I have the Ergochair 2 from Autonomous and love it, especially for "ass comfort".

I've worked from home for 6 years and it's been the best chair I've had personally.


Can confirm it is pretty good so far. Also eminently affordable, especially since in my region the common refrain of "just get discarded Aeron/HM from Craigslist bro" doesn't apply.


I've been waiting for something like this since I discovered Publii CMS


GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel (former ZEIT) and the non-official winner: surge.sh, the absolute simplest way to publish a static website.


Hi, I'm the OP and wanted to say that Quillette is a right-wing magazine portraying itself as an lbertarian centrarian magazine. If Jordan Peterson was a magazine, this would be it.

Yet, with this article they managed to shot themselves in the foot. Quillette sees itself as an intellectual post for intellectuals, yet the only intellectualism they manage to bring on is the one described by Steven Pinker: anti-progressive.

Before posting it here, I posted it on a facebook group and the reactions were instant: some making fun of the people waiting to get offended and a great majority getting offended only when seeing it was from Quillette or simply by reading the title.

Even though Quillette managed to self-describe itself without pointing obvious fingers but knowing their history, it was to be addressed to left wing media, the article is humorously accurately describing both extremes of the same narrow American spectrum of politics and social life. If you don't fit a box, you clearly fit the other and need to be attacked by it.


Thanks to WebArchive, we can still preview Tribal's PowWow https://web.archive.org/web/19961206133119/http://tribal.com...


And in 2020 I stil struggle to export my Kindle highlights from sideloaded books (not bought from Amazon). And even if I did, I haven't found a note system that lets me centralize all the notes I gather from web, documents and my Kindle.

Maybe one of you can come up with a piece of service and make me tear up a little.


Have you tried https://readwise.io? I export my kindle highlights from sideloaded books through an iphone app and send them to import@readwise.io. That's better then downloading and uploading the txt file. Web is also covered. Dunno about your docuemnts though.


This is a ridiculously complicated tutorial.

Sure, S3 works if you're deploying it as safest as possible and want to pay for it too and do this on a recurrent basis, but otherwise is too big of a fuss for a personal blog, I use GitHub pages for over 4 years now with no issues, my own domain and SSL.

The simplest is surge.sh, period. If you don't need a domain, a web platform and just want to deploy from your CLI, surge.sh is the solution. It's good when you want to show off a static website to someone outside your sever. Even the switching to a premium plan is done from the CLI.

Other solutions are: Netlify, ZEIT Now, Aerobatic or Render.

I frequently use this list from this GatsbyJS wiki to check for static website hosts, I recommend it: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/deploying-and-hosting/
