Another thing I like about this car is the rear window wiper, with wiper fluid spray action. This is often missing on newer, fancier cars.

This particular Bolt has a rear-view mirror that can function either as a mirror or as a screen (toggled with the physical switch that is conventionally used for "sunset mode”).

I typically use it as a mirror, because that's what I'm used to. But the screen mode is useful when the cargo area is packed completely full, which it often is. The screen also has a wider field of view and requires no adjustment.

My 2023 Chevy Bolt gets every single one of these right.

I always thought Rendezvous was a much better brand name than Bonjour for Apple’s DNS-SD technology. It’s too bad they weren’t able to acquire the trademark in 2005.

In completely unrelated news, here’s a fun hidden setting in @Radiccio to change every appearance of “Bonjour” in the UI to some other arbitrary string:

defaults write computer.crispycrunchy.radiccio dnssdBrandName -string YourFunBrandNameHere

So, do with that what you will.

It’s Mac self-hosting week. @Radiccio Server and @tylerhall’s Iris released in the same week - both are native Mac apps that let you turn your media collection into a server with one click.

That’s not entirely a coincidence - Tyler and I have been chatting about this, and Iris was a major inspiration for Radiccio Server.

Before now, #selfhosting would usually involve a lot of Terminal and config files. I think we can provide an easier option, as many are looking for alternatives to the cloud.

Iris for macOS is available. It's the native photo and video library I always wanted. I hope you like it, too. https://irisphotos.app
