I see it more like platform for sharing personal most important message at the moment, with occasional link to one's project, but it is not intended as marketing tool. Appeal shoul…

Author here, just adding a few more details. What AI told me to tell you: In today's overwhelming digital landscape, it's easy for individual thoughts and moments to get lost in th…

I just launched flamabl.com, a unique experiment in shared online consciousness. It is technically interesting, ready to scale, and something I wanted to make for a while. It could…

I am happy zsa/ergodox ez user for many years and was waiting for something like this from zsa, since moonlander wasn't for my hands. My current ergodox layout doesn't use keys tha…

> How does it deal with interrupted backups? Any new backup is hardlinked against previous in temporary 'in-progress' directory, then renamed to proper name at the end. If backup b…

With me that's absolutely okay. We all need more choice and HN is a great way to learn about alternatives. Few nice things I borrowed from those two scripts mentioned in readme (cr…

"saf bugs, rsync bugs/misconfiguration" On top of many cheap backups, I am also trying not to rely on any single peace of technology (I know, it is not ideal that hardware and OS r…

Those same questions always bug me, and I did try all from very smart to very brute force solutions. I love ZFS but then we can question ZFS and OS bugs in the same manner as saf o…

In my understanding, rsnapshot is equivalent of 'saf backup' which is only one bit of saf functionality. saf has few more commands to be able to see and analyze what's on the backu…

Author here. Yes, I am also the one that loves to see alternatives on topic of interest to me on HN. However putting an effort to publish different take on something already 'solve…

I had this backup code working reliably for years, using local file system, vps/dedicated server, or remote storage for backup, then I finally get time to wrap README, iron few mis…

After some effort to find decent Android TV Web Browser that can work without hacks and support basic 'mouse' navigation using TV remote, I wrote one myself. Doesn't spy at all and…

Huge Tridactyl fan here, it works beautifully. I am using it for over a year, ever since I spotted its mention at Suckless 'rocks' page: https://suckless.org/rocks/

> Weight: 67g bottom out if using Panda springs, 100gf bottom out if using Halo True springs That means they require more force than Model M? Too much I think.

Great tip, thanks, trying it now. Seems nicer and easier to tweak than spacemacs, from my perspective.

Interesting, I don't often use Python but recent project had few 3000+ lines .py files, which make Vim _very_ unresponsive when editing. Other languages weren't so problematic but …

"Exobrains, on the other hand, stuff Vim full of plugins, functions, and homebrew mappings in a vain attempt to pretend they’re using Emacs." This is disturbingly accurate from my …

I first heard of Tridactyl because it was listed on https://suckless.org/rocks/ page. It filled huge gap left from Vimperator and no complaints on my side. Works well.

Huge additional plus, entr does not rely exclusively on inotify, it is also 'BSD kqueue wrapper. It is the only command line utility that I found that allows cross platform (linux/…

Sorry if off-topic: How does DO compare to Linode? I have lots of experience with Linode but since I hear good things about DO I would love to try it out.
