    Basically there's 2 versions of the database file, the old (KDB) and the new (KDBX) which has more features/fields/etc. For the clients, 2.x uses KDBX files, but is also compatible…

    I YouTube-dl anything/everything I think I might like to watch again. Tutorials, reference videos, music videos, you name it. Storage is cheap and YouTube has proven they’re not a …

    The fish big enough for google to care about are all protected from this stuff. YouTube is completely and utterly broken for anyone smaller than “I make tens/hundreds of thousands …

    Audacity is up there for me with those open source projects that deserve to go into some form of OSS Hall of Fame. Audacity, VLC, Blender, KeePass, Inkscape, OBS, etc (there's many…

    Abandons NEW combustion engine development. They’re still developing their existing combustion engine platforms further and aren’t giving up on ICE.

    I’ve used Telegram for years now, along with almost all my family and friends. I’m a huge fan of it, and it’s basically the only IM I use anymore (other than Signal with some tech …

    GCode Viewer is included with OctoPrint, it lets you preview the loaded GCode layer by layer before/while printing, and can sync to the print in realtime too.

    Ok that's fair, I hadn't seen that. They really should have more "real" photos/videos of it on their website then. A flashy website full of renders then a link to a Github that's 9…

    Is this anything more than a pipedream at this point? I've seen it come up multiple times over the last year, and yet a quick skim through the Github shows that there's not really …

    As someone who spends a fair few weeks a year in hospital, the idea of internal hospital security cameras being connected to the internet at all is absolutely fucking horrifying. I…

    I had no idea they did that, and that's a really genius idea. I'd happily pay that for sites I like reading so I can pull the content in and read it how I want to rather than deal …

    I've been wanting something like this for ages. I always thought the Kindle not having the full Wikipedia archive as an optional install was a massive missed opportunity, especiall…

    His entire point is trying to get stuff working (even for a few seconds) using cheap hobbyist printers and not requiring skills in metal fabrication or any special equipment. With …

    Integza is that perfect mix of entertaining and actually-impressive-science. Every video he puts out is doing stuff no one (or very few people) have tried, and his passion for it a…

    Yeah I’ve been using Keepass with a synced db for about as long as it’s been around and never had a complaint. Got most of my family doing the same and they like it too... and no l…

    The real "Beetle of EVs" will be something that is priced down around the Honda Civic, Mazda 3, etc. AUD$30k (~USD$20k) or so. The first major brand to come out with an EV comparab…
