I use a mix of Evolution[0] (GNOME's Thunderbird) and Geary[1]. Geary has a very nice UI, and can become mobile-like, and Evolution has much more support for automations and other …

> As for Windows, not only has kept its hybrid approach throughout the years, Windows 10 (optionally) and Windows 11 (enforced), runs as a guest on Hyper-V, with multiple subsystem…

This reminds me of an article I read somewhere (probably here in HN) wherein people implementing Banking Services just straight up test the API in Production after a few cycles of …

My idea was even simpler tbh, I'd make a bunch of m3u files, and rename them with a SHA1 hash. Then just put the hash value in RFID tags. Yes, it's not as remotely extendable, but …

How cool! I've been wanting to build the exact same thing as your RFID-MP3 player, but thinking of going with a better DAC to power an amp+speakers combo. I really, really miss CD …

OpenWRT, CD and DVD Players, Kindles, and OpenBSD due to some recent HN article. I knew about most of them a little or fair bit already, but there's always something to learn the d…

Yeah, one of the “ends” being Facebook itself. It's “legal” as in it is indeed end-to-end encrypted in the same way Cloudflare-hosted websites are, but very shitty. I always though…

Such an awesome find, I'm thinking of sticking this to my CI Pipeline now! :D I use SQLite for a gameserver, having 3 different databases for different stuff. And this would be a l…

Is that a choice question? Or does it require a subjective answer? If it's the latter, then the question is reasonable to some degree, I guess? “Company 4 might be the best in term…

It's kind of weird to me that it starts from $139, a price range where you can buy a 65% Keychron mech keyboard[1], _and_ stuff like the Pinephone Keyboard[2]. The latter is not ex…

There's also ViMusic, which is open source: https://github.com/vfsfitvnm/ViMusic/

What the headline says. I think SABERS got some interest last year, as a _very good_ alternative to Li-ion. My question is, are these recent news about sodium-ion related to produc…

I'm not sure about America, but from the place I'm from (SE Asia), having a laptop after graduation is quite common, and many times required. Yeah, more and more people no longer n…

It depends on how it's done, I'd say. On one side, there are companies like Sublime Text and JetBrains. Their subscription model is fair, to me atleast. Also, for most software tha…

If you think about it, the reason Rust, or any other programming language were created, was simply because other languages had something lacking... There's no single language that'…

Librem 5 is much more expensive, too. And the performance isn't even comparable. It's not viable for a company like ASUS to go for the same approach. And not many consumers would b…

Asian here. Can relate, shit gets expensive here, too. My CPU was built in 2012ish, 8G DDR3, AMD 5450 and core i3 4th gen. Except for the GPU, everything still runs fine. The curre…

I prefer Svelte and Inferno mostly. However, for quick prototypes or side projects that I know I'm not going to need, I use a completely new framework, to experiment and have fun w…

It's pretty awesome stuff, but what could be a real use of PCIe in Raspberry Pi except for experimenting ? Just curious, but most things I can think of are probably going to bottle…

It looks cool. Will try it sometime. Anyways, here are some better links which won't pressurize your eyes as much as the original article: https://nanovms.gitbook.io/ops/faq https:…

I use FreeBSD. It works fine, and I've configured it to be secure. Is there any reason for me to move over to OpenBSD ? I don't care about minimal or some reasons like that, I alre…

Take a look at GhostBSD while you're at it. I wouldn't recommend OpenBSD for normal day-to-day usage....

Works for me now. https://isup.me reports that it's working as well :)

tl;dr: 1. Has many sensors, will stop the circuit if the damage-level is critical. 2. Improved BMS and other circuits help for its "low maintenance" claim 3. More modular, so adjus…
