Those are good tips but what to do when you are new in location and your family/friends doesn't have contacts with people that like your hobby? Joining new social circles isn't that easy for less social ones.
Not sure there is a shortcut. You're just going to have to go do your hobby and look out for opportunities to meet other people who are into it too.
The thing about moving to a new location is you're consciously choosing to start over: that has positives and negatives, but either way it's a ton of work to get re-established. Be brave, you'll find people the more you look for them.
This is hobby-dependent and YMMV of course, but...
... go and do your hobby. Whatever it is. You're likely to meet people along the way who are also into whatever it is that you're doing. Even in the less sociable hobbies, you're bound to encounter like-minded folk at some point (take it from me, the not-so-social backpacker who likes going to remote places). You might not know where the groups are yet, but you'll figure it out, just like you figured out everything else about being in a new location - where the grocery stores are, where the good restaurants are, where whatever it is that you need might be located.
Telegram seems like strange choice but ok. I personally started to tinker with something similar - IMAP client which learns how you categorize emails into folders and helps with that. I started with manual rules and want to connect some optional automagic later.
I noticed that some emails are valid for only some hours and then it's in inbox unnecessarily giving that +1 to unread badge.
On other hand server side filtering works before arriving in inbox so you don't see for example, that parcel will arrive today. Next day you need to manually archive it. After 10-20 mails like that, if you are busy - half of inbox needlessly needs user action if you are into inbox zero.
ChatGPT's success comes with a chat based UI, every LLM AI agent these days had a hidden chat context somewhere. So choosing a chat app is pretty intuitive and straightforward.
Well that's a valid point, I might add other communication channel later, maybe the community will add a new one ;)
Interesting point - for the moment all actions are manually validated on this project but I might also add features to make the agent autonomous to some extent.
Yeah, I don't trust AI magic either. Very precise manual filters can run out of date quickly, "AI" can be unpredictable. Maybe naïve bayes will be a middle ground?
I use and like SpamSieve for macOS but it's limited to spam/not spam.
I would really like support for more categories than two.
I suspect you are misunderstanding the use case here. If I am understanding you correctly, you are proposing solution using single phone. As such, only one person can have the phone with them at any given time.
Also, a dumb phone doesn't really help with the need for SMS and MMS.
Update: I had indeed misunderstood and the proposal was to use a cloned SIM and two phones with dual SIM support. However, as discussed deeper in the thread this still seems to have flaws.
Yes, I was suggesting just that. In that case, at least in EU there is an option when one number can be used on more than one SIM card. Then using second SIM slot on both phones you have access to that number. Incoming SMS goes to both number I think. Calls can be answered by any phone but faster to answer wins.
Our mobile networks just recently upgraded from two tin cans and a really long string so I feel like if we support it, it must be pretty close to universal.
What I remember from my case few years ago, incoming SMS were handled to both SIMs. Outgoing SMS from my number didn't appear on second one (so shared SMS history isn't complete in that sens). I didn't use MMS. I think all those behaviors can be different, depending on provider config.
Okay, that is a problem then. If both phones cannot see all messages, how would both parties have full context on the conversation? This would inevitably lead to both of us sending a response.
No, you can multiple sims in one phone, at least in the Apple world. iPhone has supported dual sim since 13 and eSIM forever. I don’t know about Android but I’m sure you can research that with a search like “{ your partner’s device mfg + model } and dual sim support”.
Okay, let me explain it a different way. Much like TCR is in principle supposed to be about blocking phone spam, wouldn't it just be a matter of time before cell providers start cracking down on cloned SIMs with the intention of preventing criminal activity? Whether you cloned the SIM for legitimate use or not.
Very cool. I needed something like this.
Looking at short video in readme - I suspect adding live stats similar to sidekiq would make UI look more dynamic and allow quick diagnostics.
Docs for current features are more important though.
Can you tell me more about why you needed this (and what you ended up using?)
Totally agree on adding more metrics and information to the UI - but how much of that should be on the dashboard vs exposed as a prometheus metric for someone to use their dashboard tool of choice?
I am not very good at visual design and have chosen the simplest possible tech to build it (static rendering + fomanticUI). I sometimes wonder if the lack of react or tailwind or truly beautiful elements will hold the project back.
I don’t think so, you can create an app without the fee. (Xcode is free and nothing is gated based on subscription AFAIK), you just can’t upload it. So I think for EU users this isn’t the case.
I don't know if they changed it, but the xcode certificates (used to?) expire every week or so, so you'd need to re-up from the apple servers via a mac with xcode.
There’s a cool one I’ve used called MitoSheet[0]. Runs locally and has some great features, though it doesn’t support TSV files last time I checked. It’s being actively developed still. I believe it was developed with YCombinator funding.
Heavy emphasis on "sort of"; it enforces data types on columns, which is a significant difference from both spreadsheets and pysheets. This enables/requires more database-like behavior and planning (which is great for a lot of applications), but importing spreadsheets is much less intuitive and spreadsheet competence won't get you very far.
Grist's closer to "what if Access had an interface that was more like Excel". Pysheets is more like "what if Python data structures had a GUI that looked like Excel".
To put it another way, I love Grist but _would not_ recommend people who are using spreadsheets to try to bring their spreadsheets into it. I also love pysheets and _would_ recommend it for that usage.
I created buckaroo [1] as a better dataframe viewer for jupyter with built in summary stats. It's built to bring a better dataframe experience to people already using pandas/polars. All of it is extensible [2] so that you can customize stats and transformations to your workflow.
The PySheets server runs anywhere, for example: my laptop, Google AppEngine, and DigitalOcean. I designed it with on-prem in mind, so that PySheets could be deployed at companies that do not want to share data with external services.
That said, only the data stored in the sheet itself is stored in PySheets. Most use cases will load data from another place, filter and convert it, and then render a result. Still, self-hosting would be an interesting use case.
In the docs for my own project in this space, I created a whole related projects page. I figured if someone makes it to my docs, and buckaroo doesn't solve their problem, they should find something that does help them.
