    I get this so often too. And on so many websites, the verify your are a bot comes back after what feels like only a few minutes. Combined with how slow modern website are, I feel a…

    I would 3D print (FDM) standoffs in PE with integrated pockets to insert magnets. You can even insert the magnets during the print if you fancy. Though my preference goes to a slid…

    For anybody not getting the reference, standard glue gun glue is obviously applied freshly melted and hot, and it is dissolved/debonded cleanly with isopropyl alcohol.

    And before any major change, add a `--v2` for early adopters and `--v1` as default. Nobody should notice anything on `--v1`, any regression must be fixed imediately. Flip `--v2` as…

    I have always found the term "capacitance multiplier" misleading. I see it as a voltage regulator with a filtered input.

    Very similar experience for me. Also no faces, but a feeling of who the person is relative to my self anyways.

    This is great. But this doesn't cover the general expectation of a desktop application. I want application to know the screens, send windows to know positions etc etc. And this is …

    I use pinned (always above + on all workspace/desktop) quite often. And to make it ergonomic I scripted kwin and set some shortcuts. So yes, you can have any window PiP the way you…

    Indeed, Linux allows anything but "/" and "\0" in filenames. Those days its reasonable to refuse utf8 filenames. But one must always validate first!

    Don't know what you are being down voted (or my grand parent comment for that matter). You are very correct.

    If you are going to be pedantic, go all the way. 2^21 is 0 to 2_097_151. Unicode codepoint range is 0 to 1_114_111, slightly more than 2^20 (0 to 1_048_575). I would argue that Uni…

    How much does it cost and where to buy? If I have to call, I cannot afford it.
