> awful Rendezvous with Rama sequels. Were those so awful? I remember rather enjoying them when I read them many years ago - though the last book got pretty weird, as 4th-book-in-t…

Mailman 3 is acceptable, imho. It's been a few years since I worked with it, but I was able to design a reliable public instance of it ( https://mailman.haskell.org ) with a few da…

Interesting - this could actually be good functionality to add to tailscale-manager ( https://github.com/singlestore-labs/tailscale-manager ), which currently just handles AWS pref…

Khat will wreck your teeth if you chew the leaves. And it's about on par with caffeine as far as stimulants go, so personally I'd stick with coffee or tea instead of khat.

There are indeed nvidia drivers for Linux and they're reasonably good for gaming, but the feature set sometimes lags far behind windows. There is no DLSS 3 for Linux, for instance.…

How does that compare to the typical cost of electricity to power a 3090 for a month? I honestly have no idea, this isn't a gotcha question.

I posted a reply to another subthread with some of this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43647368 > * Does it work well? Very well! There are some limitations (see link above)…

there are a bunch of them: https://headscale.net/stable/ref/integration/web-ui/?h=web The one I've deployed is https://github.com/gurucomputing/headscale-ui , which is basic but do…

I've done exactly that: headscale in production at work, a few hundred client devices, infrastructure mostly powered by nix. What would you want to hear about it?

Thanks for the response. Is there much hope for this to change at some point? I would love to eventually use Haiku on actual hardware, and the lack of video acceleration is the mai…

Does that mean they have some accelerated video drivers now? Last I checked (maybe a year ago) there were none at all.

It's not easy to find from the linked website, but this appears to be the most recent code on github: https://github.com/rayarachelian/lisaem There is also this repo which was last…

I was about to be like "surely you mean the S/390 series" but nope, you are correct! Apparently 3090 came in between the S/370 and S/390 series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_3…

Click the home button in the lower right of the frame, it will reset your position!

We're looking into this, but I'm not sure how easy it will be to fix. You probably ought to use Safari/Firefox/Chrome for now, sorry.

I'd recommend checking out some of the "smart relay" devices that let you reuse your existing light switches. e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-SmartThings-Philips-ZBBrid... -…

You're welcome Here's hoping Google doesn't get mad about it - though after 12(ish) years there's really nothing secret in that video.

Regarding the phrase "I don't know how to count that low", here's the video where it originated. Frankly I'm astonished this hasn't been shared before, and I hope I don't get in tr…

These days people most frequently seem to mean "without a hypervisor" when they say bare-metal. In this case I guess it's "without containers", which isn't far off. Since it's not …

I'm finding that I like using Nord theme for much of my system UI where low-contrast reduces distractions (window decorations, buttons and other widgets, terminals, etc), but for m…

This is an excellent metaphor but now I am curious, is it literally true?
