This. Lost hours from the hours running the updates, lost hours from the occasional faulty upgrade, and every now and again it's fail spectacularly and need a restore from backup t…

That's entirely possible and quite likely. The only way to find out would be to renovate the battery and take it out to go shoot stuff. I'm not sure I'm that invested to make the e…

"Don't update your systems for a while" is exactly what an attacker would say. If you can't trust your update sources, you have bigger problems.

Whilst anecdotal, this supports the idea that I should de-index my personal site when I relaunch it. There's no value for me to get indexed by Google or Bing. The only index I care…

In my experience, iPhone 4 was better than iPhone 8 which is better than iPhone 17. Either I got lucky, went to more interesting places and composed better, or the technology is ge…

And yet I can buy a Premier League soccer shirt with a casino brand sprayed across the front. I wish it would stop, advertising gambling via sports sponsorships should be banned. I…

As a European, yes I'd prefer an EU LLM. What I don't want to do is give it to services with an agenda to abuse the data, particularly those profiling individuals for profit. Frank…

For my use case, I use a webclipper to drop a copy of the text as Markdown into Joplin as a personal knowledge base. I can't do this with a PDF. My browser downloads the document b…

I do wish these types of document were published as HTML and not just as PDF.

This is the current choice developers face - build for the app-store or build for the web. Or both. For me, I honestly don't care if Mobile Safari seems 'crippled' when everything …

The executed filename could be a symlink to a single common binary/script.

This is true, but 8TB is big data if it's text.

That's where I am too. Not sure why I've been downvoted when I've past the point of doing high-stakes risks and have people who rely on me to avoid injury so they get to have fun.

It would have been a better fit for me than the M4 Air, I literally use it only for typing and browsing, plus a could of Mac-only tools. Brilliant machine but complete overkill for…

I think the definition of big is smaller than that. Mine was "too big to fit on a maxed-out laptop", effectively >8TB. Our photo collection is bigger than that, it's not 'big data'…

The only status it brings is "smart enough to not use Windows 11" or "cares enough to get the work done rather than fighting with Linux on laptops". (I use Linux on desktop as a fi…

Came here to say this. I don't want to fall down not because I fear the fall, I fear the not getting up.

What I thought I wanted: a way for Konsole to send SIGHUP What I now have: ~B What I really need: a way to stop long-running SSH connections from freezing

I was expecting a hardware project, not software. I don't have a real TB-303, just the Behringer clone, and it'd be fun to build something from scratch that sounds similar. That as…

I'm sure they don't unless made from a stable hardwood or coated somehow to resist expansion/contraction which would defeat the whole point of using a sustainable material. Lovely …

I'm sure they will if they can't already, but the price of the tech & the materials could be the limiting factor. How much would a hobbyist be willing to spend on consistent 10-mic…

Framed that way yes, but wouldn't it be cool to 3D print interlocking parts that can be reassembled in different ways?

I fail to see how this is technically possible. Virgin Media already censors chunks of the internet, but not in a way that currently would allow age verification. Beyond my ISP I'm…

Wait. What? Is this just a way to strong-arm non-cloudflarians into adopting their platform if you don't want your site crawled? It does sound like they are selling the solution to…

This is why Lego has nothing to fear from 3D printing.
