#notestoself if you want to store a JSON object as value into #leveldb make sure to set the valueEncoding: ‘json’ option otherwise it will be handled as utf-8 string and you get surprising side effects when reading the value later...
Feeling a bit dump right now... want to iterate over the keys in a #leveldb database in #nodejs... found this api description: https://github.com/Level/level#iterator, but it won't work... anyone a quick tip or link to a source sample? <3

How not to fight a global pandemic (German article)!
Gist: there have been more focus on protecting the vaccine and its formula then getting them into the hands of as many ppl as possible... 30 mio doses used in western countries vs. 25 (!!!) in underdeveloped ones 😮😢 — https://www.heise.de/news/Patentschutz-statt-Pandemiebekaempfung-Weit-weg-vom-globalen-oeffentlichen-Gut-5035605.html
Can't wait for #fosdem to start in a few days.

In between I hooked up my old PC & noticed how well I’ve already integrated the #pinebookpro into my workflow & how strange it felt to move back to my former desktop. Even though it was meant to be an experimental device in the beginning it has already become my daily driver.
This afternoon when trying out a newer kernel & panfrost driver my #pinebookpro suddenly went dark. After a sort shock I thought it might just got low on battery & tried to charge it... but it didn’t power on even then. I got a little nervous that I bricked it somehow & started searching the wiki @PINE64. Everything was nicely documented for self-servicing it. Even if I would have bricked it, I could have bought a new board & replace it easily. Luckily pressing RESET on the board did the trick.

TLDR; simplicity, automatability and aesthetics.
Do you remember when Facebook bought WhatsApp and they told us that WhatsApp won't be sharing any data with Facebook?
