Yesterday I was running : NixOS, mango window manager, 5 instances of ghostty, 2 of those running fresh terminal editor, firefox with 5 tabs and I was at 2.37gb of RAM.

I think the average person thinks "who cares" when it comes to trademarks so I guess that is the question to ask. Somebody clearly cares about asserting ownership over the term. An…

Yeah pretty clearly falls under 'bypassing a digital lock' according to the DMCA. they got you when you clicked ok on the license agreement. Movies and music is a different thing: …

So i can see my use case like this: I ssh from my phone to my home raspberry pi through tailscale. i type an alias that causes the RPi to run bitbang serve and prints the connectio…

Is there a good TV UI OS that runs desktop youtube under the hood for ad blocking?

I'd be curious to know the average salary in 1911 versus cost to purchase a house in 1911. If you can plod along for 15 years and buy a house with cash (i don't think credit/mortga…

I'm having the opposite experience. I have tons of music in Itunes and they are all DRM from early itunes. Apparently they predate the DRM-free era? I have no idea how to get the D…

Asking for a friend, do we have a modern distributed peer-to-peer end-to-end encrypted file sharing system?

It seems like their strategy will be to just raise hardware and media prices. Just keep doing the same at a higher cost. If it's a loss leader today, it will stay a loss leader tom…

I learned about the earlier generations of my family. The massive difference is how much more socially connected they were. They walked to grocery stores because the grocery stores…

It's interesting because we are still in the 'delayed reaction' phase of consumer hardware prices. They are still somewhat close to what they were before the spike in prices earlie…

reading "Terms of Service" is useless if you are not also understanding Terms of Service, and once you understand Terms of Service, you also understand how you are being shafted by…

I'd be interested in any more info you can provide. Do you have your router configs in flakes? I'm currently testing Nix in a proxmox VM. I just finished writing a shell script to …

Ask AI to generate you a UCI config for " ". Reading the raw config files in /etc/config is the opposite of the web UI. The config files are the bare minimum data. Very easy to rea…

Looking at Asha Sharma's track record of having no experience in anything related to gaming, don't color me surprised when in 6 months the foisted narrative will be 'well, do we ev…

Imagine if small movie theaters could just show films at their own whim. You could have small theaters springing up everywhere. I'm sure there's a boot ready and waiting to smash d…

This article felt like a classic example of "I just discovered this cool technology that seems to have massive potential! While massively blind and naive to the implications of wha…

Not a Nix user yet, so i'm wondering if you can describe a little more about the "reproducibility" aspect which implies that you are often "reproducing" stuff. What needs reproduci…

Please evangelize me if you have experience and you consider this to be a better declarative containerized router...

> OT: I think the cause of the wealth gap is much simpler. It is the stock market. I imagine a society where there is no stock market, but instead everyone invest in their local ec…

Yeah, this space seems pretty sparse. Some of the Radxa SBCs are getting closer to a hardware solution for your vision, but there isn't real mainstream software. A self-hosted DNLA…

Jellyfin's worst aspect is the opinionated file structure. You have to set up folders the way it wants, and then the resulting UI browser is what-you-see-is-what-you-get. Pretty su…

Ultimately, if a kid is super digitally connected and using social media all day, can't his/her final grades be enough evidence? I'd like to hear some arguments how we must ban cer…

Correct me if you have more experience, but I have mostly avoided using smart plugs for computers because the PSU capacitors generate a large inrush current which tends to weld the…

It would seem relatively easy to tie speed to the direction the boat is facing. The more perpendicular you are to the 'wind direction' the faster you move. Or make the fastest velo…
