    Could you tell more about these 'nix boxes? Sounds very interesting.

    I would be much more interested in some deterministic utilities than an LLM wrapper, but this is also nice, thanks for sharing.

    The idea is cool. The quality of the data is very questionable, though. The color swatches appear more or less random. What does that orange have to do with Google and that maroon …

    I've never before gone 4 levels of parentheses deep whilst reading text that isn't programming code.

    I know about templates, but I don't believe they are designed for fungible copies. You can run a bunch of my-app@a-random-port.service, but it's not the same UX as `pm2 start my-ap…

    I don't think systemd has a built-in load balancer. Also, running multiple copies of the same service isn't typical PID-1 stuff, so maybe doing that with systemd involves some fric…

    I've enjoyed writing a few projects in x86-64 assembly as well, for what it's worth. Even though I'm sure that any C compiler would generate better assembly than my handwritten one…

    I'm fascinated by C. I agree that using almost anything else automatically eliminates entire classes of bugs and vulnerabilities, but it's so much _fun_ to be close to the machine …

    The ideal data protection law would prevent most of the data from being collected in the first place. Cybersecurity, on the other hand, is about protecting what you have collected …

    By being generic and customizable it will have the potential to become a great new game in its own right. Let the community begin with something they already know and love (MtG) an…

    I know that it's all configurable, what I meant is that some DNS providers may apply a long TTL by default, and it may be desirable to let users of Triweb know about this possible …

    This is a nice PoC. For how long are TXT records usually cached? Triweb might not see the latest changes to the websites for quite some time.

    This would enable some advanced merge conflict resolution strategies, I suppose. However, it can also be done by building the ASTs on demand and still storing plain text.

    Well done. SVGs can be selected in the file picker, but the compressor doesn't seem to support them. You should probably further limit the selection to raster formats.

    If it requires little effort, it's fine, but generally before working on something one should ask the maintainers whether the status quo is deliberate.

    I imagine a lot of such pull requests wouldn't be merged.

    Many tiling WMs have an option for gaps between the windows. Do you find them unpleasant? I love my 8px gaps. Most of the wallpaper is still covered, though.

    I use the mobile version regularly, especially when it's warmer outside than it is now, and TIL that it is open source. Now I consider purchasing the pro version, as a form of dona…

    Thank you for the link. I had no idea about most of the optional tags. It looks ugly when taken to extremes, though.

    It can be a nice stub for testing when integrating an API that doesn't have a sandbox environment.
