Why event organization? are you already familiar with each piece in that list? Why that tech stack? Do you need to care about scaling or is self hosting more fun for this?
The distinct concept might be to take that stack and do something else with scheduling? I think weaving in a thing you like or want to specialize in would be better than a generic scheduling app (I don’t know those apps you mentioned).
If you’re doing a web app focus then the MongoDB INSERTS and updates will be easy to template once you find how they communicate. The DB should do less of the logic and just hold your “primative” data that can’t be calculated. It might even do BLOBs if you want to skip a cloud bucket because you won’t have to scale…
Graham Lineham was controversial for years before he was ‘cancelled’. A prime example of a talented writer who needed a PR team to keep him away from the general public.
Father Ted, Black Books, IT Crowd. These are all gems that I always enjoy rewatching.
I don’t know Liftoff, so can’t’ compare but I am using Mlem. I don’t know if it is a good app or not but It has all the functionalities you asked for. Changing from account is quite easy: one slice and tap and it is done.
I used liftoff and moved to thunder when my instance moved to 0.19.
I changed some settings to my liking and now I’m used to it. It isn’t a drop in replacement but is okay. It works in landscape mode and has a dark mode and almoled dark mode.
I enjoy them. They’re usually quite creative, and I’m constantly amazed at what the technology can accomplish. I frequently forget that I can turn to DALL-E when I want pictures of specific things, and those posts remind me.
ChatGPT is really good for these kinds of questions. Here’s what it said:
The movie you’re describing sounds like “Harsh Times” (2005), directed by David Ayer. It stars Christian Bale as Jim Davis, a troubled ex-soldier who gets involved in various criminal activities in Los Angeles. In one scene, Jim is approached by two gang members who rob him, leading to a series of violent events involving rival gangs. The film explores themes of crime, violence, and the challenges faced by veterans returning from war. “Harsh Times” is known for its gritty portrayal of street life in LA and intense performances, particularly by Bale.
Is it a good movie? It sounds good and Bale is always awesome in his roles.
I haven’t seen Forgotten Weapons mentioned, yet. If you couldn’t tell by the channel name, it covers rare and historical weapons, mostly firearms, but does so in a straightforward, informational, and apolitical way. It’s basically the kind of show the history channel should make. I think he’s been putting out episodes since around 2011.
Ehhh… I wouldn’t go so far as to call him apolitical. I used to watch his stuff, but he’s drifted pretty right over the years. His stuff used to be pretty neutral, but since he started his book publishing, and the WWSD rifle project, he’s just been slipping right wing stuff into his content.
It doesn’t show up in the mainline informational videos too much, but his ad pushes and his side projects, which also show up on his main youtube channel, definitely have slid downhill.
That kind of sucks. I mean as far as gun tubers go he is on the left of that spectrum, but I guess that’s a pretty low bar. Ian always struck me as a libertarian of some sorts. His buddy Karl from InRange TV has taken a lot of flack on gun forums and what not for vocalizing support for the trans community. I think that guy might be a Socialist of some kind maybe.
Thanks for the heads up on that, though. I had no idea. I haven’t kept up on his newest videos, but he has such a backlog that idk if I ever will. I only watch the main videos occasionally so I would have had no idea about that other crap he puts on his page. Definitely disappointing.
Ian is a low quality person and it’s rather disappointing. I’m not sure what his political stance is beyond “will this make/lose me money?” He got dropped by Brownells for trying to make an arranged deal on a gun that was supposed to go up for auction.
Ian refused to stand up for Karl when Karl was being attacked for asserting that the 2nd amendment is for everyone (along with all guaranteed rights, more generally). He straight-up refused to say that human rights apply to everyone because he knew it would piss off a good chunk of his audience.
He has a history of bad behavior, but he’s been very good about keeping it quiet, so most people he fucks over think it was an isolated incident.
I do that routine of keeping worn out clothes and I’ll wear the whole set to get dirty/muddy/damaged/radioactive/whatever. I’ll go ahead and get the crap clothes all dirty and sweaty, then just chuck 'em.
Or, I have been known to cut worn out T-shirts into rags, and I’ve scrubbed the bathtub with worn out socks.
