I doubled down on Podman when moving to Fedora a couple years ago- couple small hiccups but mostly my shallow knowledge on SELinux and bind mounts. Big fan, especially quadlets + s…

Agreed on Garnett- but you might also like McDuffs

I recently worked my way through (in order) Anna Karenina, Crime & Punishment, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov. Each time seeking Garnett translations as I found the usual re…

The last 3 books I’ve purchased from Amazon (UK) have been of questionable quality. The most recent was Designing Data–Intensive Applications (O’Reilly) and I’m still not sure if i…

Had this thought multiple times over the years. However, reality in the UK is training cost and time (~2 years with 2 days a week college + at least ~£5k cost and further 2 years g…

Great list! Not sure how I've missed all these in my search but I've had success with Plexamp (Gnome, Fedora), with Plex served from my Synology NAS. Opinions on Plex aside, it's b…

Thank you adamors, I’ll be sure to give Satantango a go next- I’ve been struggling to find a modern substitute for the Russian classics and haven’t been able to put my finger on wh…

I’ve been working through more Dostoyevsky- currently ending the year reading The Brothers Karamazov (Constance Garnett translation). It’s topping The Idiot for me- and a fitting w…

Thanks :) very much looking forward to it! Maybe I’ll be a AMD convert after this!

I followed this exact same path. Started with HTML for guilds, learning to slice PSDs and ended with learning VB6 to develop auto buyers / adopters :D Slopdog forums was my inspira…

Just went through this today for my daughter- struggled to find an i5 not on pre-order, and the RAM was crippling- ended up going Ryzen 7 for a first time and 2x8Gb DDR5 6000 @ £11…

Whats stopping people selling their gift cards and using them before the buyers? Or am I missing something?

The author briefly touches upon this under the section 'Word and character frequency analysis', but I'm not sure this would really help with writing style?

Thank you for sharing this, I am in a similar situation and often think this, however always fall back to the "I'm just being lazy train of thought". I didn't actually make it thro…

Wow, thanks for the great responses! I will definitely head up to the public library near the civic center and checkout the POPOS guide.. great information :) As for the hackerdojo…

Hi all, I'm in SF for two months to explore and take some time out to work on personal projects and I'm looking for some nice places to hack on my projects. Places with WiFi are pr…

Can't look at the listing in the same way after seeing that haha

Life: Quitting my my full time dev job to go freelance (less money, but I've always got a smile on my face now) Programming: Putting aside spending all my time learning best practi…

Yep picked that up, might be worth noting however.. A couple other tricks I picked up also, but that's game play wise so I wont drop any spoilers here. I think I'll try making some…

Not only does it look great it's actually quite challenging, in a nice way.. Well done! Some controls on intro would be nice, had to look in source to make sure there wasn't some m…

Wow that was incredibly trippy, a great mix of technical ability with an artistic side, it's nice to see..
