    I used to do that but I find the UX of that quite annoying because before you can do: systemctl status and see what's up with all the system services. Now you have to do systemctl …

    This is cool! I once made a project very much like this: https://github.com/svenstaro/genact Check it out if you like this kind of thing.

    We do this in Arch Linux. It requires someone handling the registrations which isn't great either.

    Sadly it has no good ollama support: https://github.com/yetone/avante.nvim/issues/1149

    I tried to find out what this actually does but apart from a video that is very hard to watch on mobile, there's really nothing there that tries to sell me on this. Why not use the…

    I've recently deep-dived into QEMU performance especially in order to cut down boot/bootstrapping times for quickly running tests and I'd like to share some tricks: - Templating: h…

    Is there a reason to use 9p over virtiofs in this case? It looks to me as though virtiofs was made exactly with the idea to deal good performance.

    I made a thing called genact that pretends to be useful but actually isn't doing anything at all: https://github.com/svenstaro/genact There's also a web version! https://svenstaro.…

    You could try running rustic on your repository. It should be a drop-in for restic and maybe it's faster? I would actually be very interested in this. Would be great if you could d…

    Since this is HN, we also need to mention [Rustic]( https://github.com/rustic-rs/rustic ) which is better since it's in Rust.

    Are you maintaining that list?

    I did this once as a small experiment. Basically use a small TCP stack with LoRa as layer 1 and then expose the whole thing as a Linux kernel module. It was a bit shitty but it see…

    You're looking LoRaWan which is not the same as LoRa. In fact I believe web browsing to be quite feasible if you just use LoRa with your own network stack.

    Haven't used it yet, I'm a bit too scared to put something like this into production anywhere. I might do a small installation with a toy project somewhere, though. Seems easy enou…

    Sadly their enclosure isn't open source. I asked the support for technical details and apparently they are not allowed to share them. It's a bit weird that their open hardware poli…
