    Depending on the details of your setup and precisely why you're attempting this, I would also recommend Avahi/Zeroconf (lets you type "$HOSTNAME.local" or simply populate some favo…

    I sure wish more of these electric trucks came with paint-free body panels. Say what you will about the Cybertruck, but the idea of a truck that doesn't have paint is very attracti…

    Just to maybe save someone a couple of seconds of time: the '-W interactive' bit is a mawk-specific option (-W is for implementation-specific options). Not 100% certain but it look…

    Thomas, every time I read something you write it's a delight. I love your writing style, and it reads to me like you're always putting effort into making it succinct yet unambiguou…

    Just so you know: this app does not support zooming, it only switches between lenses. (This was a little surprising to me, but I'm not a video professional.)

    This does not appear to be the case with my iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 17.4.1.

    As you learn to understand people better, life becomes vastly easier. Have you ever misread a social situation? Accidentally hurt someone? Not realize what the person you're negoti…

    I have the box set of some of your other zines, so I instantly bought two copies (as I did with the box set). One is for my twelve year old daughter who's been fascinated by your s…

    As a software developer, I have long-since ingrained the behavior of looking up the documentation before I assume something works in a particular way. Perhaps doubly so when shell …

    Step one is to be aware of your capacity to hurt; it seems like you have this covered. I find that over time my awareness has grown, which has caused me to care more (and be more c…

    Sounds like an Apple Studio Display would perfect for you.

    I am quite happy with Geofency on iOS for location logging for billing/time tracking purposes.

    I've heard podcasters rave about descript for transcription and editing (podcast audio changes as you edit transcribed text), you might want to check it out if you haven't already.…

    It's a crazy little thing to remember, but I used to have not one but two demo CD's for Copland. For some reason I even remember when I threw them out...

    Unfortunately I didn't see this on HN until fairly late, but I'd love to hear any recommendations for Lightning connector to audio jack adapters. We've gone through so many here (A…

    While I haven't used it (and it's a Mac-only app with a companion iOS app for scanning), I've heard many people rave about Delicious Library from Delicious Monster: http://www.deli…

    I bet Dang's public note of thanks is worth so much more than the subscription revenue that it barely matters if they pay or not.

    Note, the page says "4x 1-gigabit ports are allocated for each computing node" which is incorrect if there are seven total ports as specified elsewhere. It should instead say somet…

    I realize that the linked thread explains that decreasing the log level wouldn't work because everything else would be affected—but couldn't someone combine decreasing the log leve…

    Is this $3000 for one book or all four?

    For the benefit of those who may not know, this has been possible (by way of Grub2) with many Linux distros for a while now without custom software. Typically you just add extra bo…

    I think people's defensiveness can get in the way of empathy. I would be somewhat dismayed if someone asked me to denounce white supremacy, because I would hope that it would be ob…

    I don't exactly how old your anecdote is, but I think it's pretty well established that Donald Trump is a racist, as are many of the people he chooses to work with. When Trump was …

    I see plenty of families in Teslas; it turns out there are lots of families who can afford it. A new Model S was too rich for my blood, so I picked one up used. Great family car. M…

    I disagree and agree with the sentiment. As someone more familiar with Linux, I sure would prefer to be able to assume a similar style. But the biggest thing I'm happy about WRT Po…
