BTW highly recommend plain old chamomile for sleep. Humans have used it a long time and it has quite strong anti-inflammatory properties (can send papers if interested).

tl;dr: for me it took a few weeks to see a drastic improvement to my sleep.
I quit in 2019 (by accident when I got sick and couldn't drink coffee). It takes a while because, as I understand it, your body creates more adenosine receptors when you are on caffeine and I guess it has to get rid of those before you start feeling normal. After a few weeks I began getting really amazing restful sleep and that basically improved everything, including my code!

2023-08-26 00:52:12

Worklog: spent the remainder of the week continuing work on new storage tiers for https://hostedgitea.com to enable larger LFS usage. The new tiers are taking much longer than I expected to implement. Hopefully it will be done next week.

2023-07-03 10:36:58

Worklog: spent all day repeatedly trying to shepherd my focus back to an unpleasant modification to the Melody Generator codebase (i.e. a hack) which will enable the "multiple simultaneous melodies" feature. Been avoiding this change for 3 years. 😅

Worklog: bug fixes on https://dopeloop.ai/melody-generator and mocking out the Pro version UI and upgrade flow.
Also hacked a bit on the browser based live reloading dev experiment I've been tinkering with. I guess this is the nephew of slingcode dot net.

Is the backend node? There's a module called `express-slow-down` which saved my biggest site during a DoS (and continues to protect). Quick to implement. Can send you example code if it would help.

Yep, why not both? Clients must bid for both connection slots and space in the fixed-size database. The underlying values could be computed dynamically as well, e.g. fixed database size could be based on disk size - if the relay owner adds more disk suddenly there are more slots and therefore they become cheaper.

2023-05-18 03:24:09

- reply

Relays could advertise their current minimum PoW. Clients then pick the relays with cheapest PoW. This has the effect of distributing demand evenly across the network. Should I write a NIP?
