Honestly that would still be impressive if it were 20 cuts.

Boardsource's alu lily58 case supports using a standard pcb so you can use choc switches with it.

There are a bunch of aluminium Lily58 cases out there, they're not cheap tho. Most of the time keys popping out means your plate is too thick or the switch holes aren't a good fit.…

It's pretty common for Alice-style keyboards to have two Bs (the one in the pic in the article does) as on a normally-staggered keyboard the B key is basically equidistant from the…

Yeah that OSMC box is just running Debian with their stuff coming from its own package repo. You can get a root shell. I realise I could have built something myself (and have in th…

Yeah I have a couple of recent Samsung OLEDs and they're fine without an internet connection despite reports that they wouldn't be. If I press one of the annoying streaming service…

Well that is ridiculous. ..but sadly within the margin of ridiculousness for our government's approach to the internet.

I mean good luck banning ssh connections.

The uniform stagger is likely to make most keyboard nerds turn their noses up too.

My experience of working with Perl as a primary language from late 90s to today: Perl was dead long before Perl 6/Raku was a real thing. By the time that happened it had already lo…

That seems to be the approach most UK newspapers are taking. Consent or pay. https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-re...

This is the approach I take too. If I need it and I can do it then I'm going to. If you don't want me to then block me. I must say I've had some raised eyebrows over that approach …

SSH tunnelling is an utter necessity in the ridiculous corporate environment I work in. Incredible amounts of bureaucracy and sometimes weeks of waiting to get access to stuff, get…

I came here to say this. Yes I know https://no-www.org/ is a thing, but browsers have a ctrl+enter shortcut that'll top and tail the domain with https://www . and .com - having tha…

Oh sure, and their service is great and very much worth paying for.

Even running your own local resolver, if you generate enough traffic they'll still block you. I think their definition of open relay is based on traffic volume. (which is their rig…

Sorry misunderstood. Yes I did mean exactly that. Though he did damage the lid in the process, so who knows how he got it open.

Honestly that was pretty much the situation. In our defence, he offered. It had hit hour 6 of both the primary and the backup aircon being down, on a very hot day - everyone was wa…

Similar thing (catastrophic aircon failure due to a flood in a crap colocated DC) happened to us too before we shifted to AWS. Photos from the colo were pretty bizarre - fans balan…

I have a MongoDB shirt of the same vintage and I can confirm they are indeed soft AF.

Typeface is good, but that website is an absolute top tier gem.

If they don't enforce their trademark they'll lose it, so as depressing as it is my prediction is that they won't allow it. Even though there's likely little value left in it for t…

This is perfectly in the crossover between useful feature and top notch April Fools prank.
