@ttscoff Sendy looks really cool! I just signed up for your newsletter, but I have a Safari extension that prevents connecting to HTTP sites. (I added an exception so I could get through the signup). Could you set up HTTPS on your sendy subdomain? Maybe via LetsEncrypt? I appreciate everything you do, thanks!

I had fun today helping out the Archive Team with their quick-turnaround project to archive all of Parler. Good to get everything stored off somewhere for future historical analysis before it is shut off for good at midnight. Good riddance. https://archiveteam.org

I watched ♕ The Queen’s Gambit which is amazing. I rarely play chess, but have fond memories of playing with my father when I was young. The games depicted in the show felt very real. I’m not surprised that Garry Kasparov was involved. https://slate.com/culture/2020/11/queens-gambit-garry-kasparov-interview-netflix-chess-adviser.html

Patience.

Checking out nb, a pretty cool tool for keeping notes on the command line and syncing them between machines. https://xwmx.github.io/nb/

Just hit my 1000th test run for pg_search over at Travis CI. Hope it passes! 🤞 https://travis-ci.org/github/Casecommons/pg_search/builds/736685623

Voting! The line at the Holiday Inn in Travis County is short right now. About 10 minutes.

Anytime I read a news article that mentions the “novel coronavirus”, it makes me want to point out that this coronavirus sure isn’t novel anymore! Better to call it SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, or simply “the coronavirus”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novel_coronavirus

I just released version 2.3.4 of pg_search
