New #introduction I guess. Hey I’m Rob a big software nerd that likes making and using websites and apps. By day I’m a Software Engineer for a HCI research group in Newcastle (UK) and I freelance a bit too, if you’ve used the MozFest schedule I made that! I also quite like #photography and #hiking and enjoy playing the #piano to relax plus #films, #lego and #videogames.

alternate吾今日觀《唐探1900》，感觸頗深，遂撰此篇。電影較爲尊重歷史，生動呈現二十世紀初，華人之窘境。彼時中國積貧積弱，備受列強侵略；華人在美國受盡排擠與侮辱，未享受真正之自由平等。
以史爲鑒，既可知興替，亦可汲教訓，免重蹈覆轍。一則，各民族、國家應自強不息，贏他人尊重；二則，長江黃河不會倒流，縱觀歷史，極端民族主義與排外情緒屢致悲劇，吾輩應防其蔓延。民族平等與世界多邊，乃人類之希望，亦爲孫中山「人類進化，世界大同」之體現。
噫！人類可否以史爲鑒而汲教訓邪？吾憂之。
Today, after watching “Detective Chinatown 1900”, I was deeply moved and thus write this piece. The film respects history to a great extent, vividly showing the plight of Chinese people in the early 20th century. At that time, China was poor and weak, suffering repeated invasions by foreign powers. Chinese people in the USA endured many of discrimination and humiliation, without enjoying true freedom and equality.
Taking history as a mirror, we can not only learn about the rise and fall of dynasties and countries, but also draw lessons from it to avoid repeating past mistakes. Firstly, all ethnic groups and countries should strive to become stronger and win the respect of others. Secondly, Yangtze River and Yellow River won’t flow backward. Throughout history, extreme nationalism and xenophobia have repeatedly led to tragedies. We should against their spread. Ethnic equality and a multilateral world are the hope of humanity, and also embody Sun Yat-sen's "human progress and world of Great Harmony."
Alas! Can humanity learn from history and draw lessons from it? I’m concerned about it.

I found this cool #Fediverse software called #NeoDB via @dansup 's awesome FediDB website.
https://fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest®istration=open
It's a tracking / shelf platform for #TV / #drama, #movies / #films, #books, and #games
Automated import from #Goodreads work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn't appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.
Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.
Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?
Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.
* Method 1: You can add the details yourself
* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items
* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB's search box and it will import it to your instance
Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the #SocialWeb. But Method 3 is even sweeter!
Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it's a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don't! I contribute to #TMDB but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in #TVDB.
Secondly, there's no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with the items. It keeps the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).
Check my accounts:
* Flagship server: @youronlyone
* Instance: @youronlyone@eggplant.place
~~Hmm… I haven't checked but I think music is not supported (yet?). NeoDB can use the largest #OpenDB for music: #Musicbrainz ~~
UPDATE: Music is supported, as well as, #podcasts .

finished watching Novocaine 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Are #CIPA movies a thing? I learned it existed thanks to an episode of House (I owe that show most of my medical "knowledge") Years later I watched that little movie where the protagonist is an assassin insensitive to pain, The Midnight Man (2016) https://neodb.social/movie/0VkEK52ooUYWCGksk08HyL Now there's Novocaine too, that I know of. CIPA keeps coming up on my screen without me having ever looked for it.
I'm wondering if these shows help by raising awareness of a rare disorder, I did read a couple of articles after I watched House, so it kind of worked for me, I'm aware. Maybe some public interest could even get studies funded... or maybe this kind of thing (not talking about Novocaine in particular) is just a bit exploitative and doesn't help any patients at all.
Opinions welcome.
