I'm in talks with some factories that manufacture the scanners, I'd like to produce branded versions and ship them out automatically to users who signup for the paid plan, but I need to get some initial users first to verify the idea. Eager to move onto the next steps and build all of that out

Crew Chief (https://crewchief.cc) — a Vehicle diagnostic and management tool. Plug in your OBD2 codes (or just describe symptoms) and get a structured diagnosis in under 30 seconds: ranked probable causes, DIY vs. shop cost estimates, severity rating, and matched parts/repair videos.

I have too many project cars and bikes, I wanted one place to store vin numbers for searching parts, and then just kept adding useful features.

Supports 16 vehicle types (cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, tractors, ATVs, RVs, etc.), not just cars. Also includes maintenance tracking, a browser extension that auto-fills your vehicle info on parts sites like RockAuto and AutoZone, a community-vouched trusted shops map, and a vehicle selling wizard with state-specific bill of sale generation.

Free tier gives you 1 vehicle with a full diagnostic.

Mikeal was extremely welcoming to me when I met him over a decade ago, It was either JSConf or NodeCamp, He was always super insightful and encouraging to my personal growth as an engineer and open source contributor. NodeJS wouldn't be what it is without him, especially the community around it in the early days. I got to work with him for a bit at protocol labs. This is a major loss to open source

I live at a _very_ loud and busy intersection in downtown manhattan, it's usually gridlocked every day from 4pm - 7pm at least. That hasn't happened once since congestion pricing kicked in (I'm enjoying the relative quiet, but I do sort of miss the chaos). The first two days, everything was covered in snow down here. I wonder how much this will hold up into summertime.

As an unrelated aside a new bmw sedan driving the wrong way on mulberry street intentionally ran into me at a crosswalk today. So don't let your guard down lol

One of the major takeaways from this video is how there is a major conflict of interest when a browser's predominant income is from the search engine. The browser cannot _truly_ be the User's Agent if innovation can mean killing funding.

BTNX now supplies test strips for Xylazine, I just ordered the first batch for the harm reduction outreach group my friends and I run. If you are interested in helping street drug users in NYC consider donating at https://opencollective.com/dont-forget-the-streets all of our funds go directly to supplies. We also table at local DIY shows, supply bars and clubs with Fentanyl test strips, and host narcan trainings.

Couple notes from my experiences (I run my own independent Harm Reduction organization in NYC)

- I rarely give out fentanyl test strips on street outreach (lower east side). Everyone knows that everything here is fentanyl and has been for years. It's mostly taken by people who will trade/give them to non sophisticated dealers who want a little more insight into what they are getting. (fent strips only show positive or negative, do not show amounts) - Older users don't like fentanyl, for many reasons, but the main thing I hear is that it doesn't "have legs". it hits very hard all at once so you cant just do a bag and go about your chores so easily. There are all sorts of drug users who have varying levels of abilities to "maintain" the other aspects of their life. - Most of the test strips that get used from my supplies these days are from people in bars and parties (testing molly, coke, ketamine etc) - People mention the fentanyl in cannabis(and k2) thing constantly to me. I've yet to be presented with any real proof. As of now I'm still convinced this is propaganda. You can guess who might be incentivized to spread these types of rumors. People don't like to share their drug habits, so it's likely they took a bad pill and blamed it on a blunt at a party. - Here is a video of how to actually use a fentanyl test strip https://www.instagram.com/tv/CaDE8XblaKy/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y...

If you want to support Harm Reduction outreach and education (narcan trainings, drug testing etc) where all of the money goes DIRECTLY to supplies you can support us at https://opencollective.com/dont-forget-the-streets. I've been funding these things for about 4 years solely out of my own income, and now need to start taking donations as my work life has dramatically changed.

If you live outside of NYC and want access to supplies anywhere in the USA. Checkout https://nextdistro.org/ they mail supplies for FREE everywhere, in discrete packaging.

My account was permanently suspended this week, along with some friends I used to share a studio with (they paid me their portion of rent via PayPal), my girlfriend, and the record store a close friend of mine works at. It seemed like my account flipped some automated trigger and it took out my whole payment network. There’s of course no information from customer service. I hope this becomes a class action suit and we can join
