Gas tax holidays are a dumb idea that demonstrate a lack of understanding of basic economics.
Oil prices are currently high because supply has been reduced. Over the medium to long term the way that this works - necessarily - is that prices rise until consumption drops enough to match supply.

And get them setup to use your server to watch their movies! I’ve had a blast with my grandparents getting that setup.

Can also look into jelllyfin if you want an open source video host.

I’m happy to say I helped! I really like your direct fundraising links, and especially the longshot lists!

Sharkord - Open Source Self-Hosted Chat Platform Privacy-first, self-hosted real-time chat platform. Own your data, control your conversations.

#Birds at the dog park! A lot of the smaller birds have a surprising amount of color if you can get a good look at them.

The tradeoffs there are pretty interesting. In my use case I pretty much just have a bunch of inline sql statements, which I think is probably where you get the most benefit from sqlx.

For a larger or more structured project with dedicated types I could see not wanting or needing a db running.

In general I think I agree with you here, although I go back and forth on if sqlx requiring a db during development is worth it or not. Having the extra checking is really nice.

Unless you are suggesting the validation of new queries shouldn’t require running the db? They mention not wanting to support all of the differences across dbs as the reason they chose not to do that.

12.12.2025 23:44 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Sqlx has this feature already, it can cache the query so you don’t need a db running except when you make changes.

Dog Park! A collection of furry friends

For me I would have to say my local dog park, and not just because I’m there a lot with my dog anyway πŸ˜†

It’s good practice for me, and I setup a webpage so I can share photos easily. People’s reactions to a good photo of their dog make it really satisfying.
