Yes, but it's kind of anticlimactic isn't it? If the issue was SMTP/protocol, then spam within the gmail network wouldn't exist. But it's not the case. The main issue is that email…

> I want Gentoo that has been prepared as if the user just recompiled every goddamned program that makes up the core os, build desiderata and all waiting for me to make another cha…

This is the job of your linux distribution: it's not just a pile of packages. It includes the bridges required to rebuild each package for the infrastructure of the distribution. I…

I think the article misses the mark. The #1 problem is spam, but spam is mostly a social issue, not a technical one. Case in point: 90%+ of my spam is currently delivered by google…

Fully agree. There's a lot of value in providing a change summary which is _not_ tied to development history. Even as a dev, I usually don't care about your PRs. I'm pretty sure th…

I love/hate info. On one side, info can be more than a manual page, and contain _usable_ references. I suppose you know about the "all in one" manpage bundles such as ffmpeg-all an…

I had a lot of other big technic sets at the time. I remember this one, and I also remember my parents telling me it was too expensive. They were not joking. Not too long ago I wan…

The counterpoint is that it's now actually useless to craft a query that tries to match exact terms, because there's this extra layer on top of it. So you might be lucky if the inf…

Oh I'm fully aware. This scene has been going on far longer than the current wave of mechanical keyboard craze (and it often doesn't emphasize switches as much either). I consider …

As other posters mentioned, the recent "mechanical keyboard" subculture is all about show and boasting. It's not a surprise it seem to have boomed with gaming rigs and streaming ch…

I have to agree. I'm currently using tridactyl, but due to the webext limitations it's far from what even vimfx could do in terms of consistency. On top of all you said, when you r…

Ideas as in "search some term, get a not-even-vaguely-related picture collection you cannot see unless you log in"? Or the "ideas" that also happen to hide where that very idea cam…

I do the same for projects I'm looking at, and I'm on linux. Gives a good understanding of the thing you're looking at. There are many things you can tell by looking at the build p…

For starters, chording requires significantly more hand coordination than a normal keyboard. This is a significant show-stopper for many. Think about all the people you know that s…

Not strictly everything , but this rings very true to me, especially for the front page.

I'm a bit surprised by this. 2mm pitches are well printable at .2, although I usually don't use the stand ANSI/DIN profiles, but limit the overhang profiles manually depending on t…

Magit is not particularly fast on *nix either. Most of the UI operates on buffers which are prepared infrequently, so the latency doesn't have significant impact. This is a very go…

For the sake of discussion, can we get some contrarian views? I'm using magit, along with tig, plain git and sometimes (!) even plain "vc", depending on context. I'm in the camp th…

I assume this happens on very small threads and/or with thick layers? I print both depending on size, and a full thread is usually more self-supported, not _less_, while printing f…

I don't see a command-line or daemon backend. Not really comparable, even if I happened to use kde.

syncthing is excellent for sharing also between groups. I wish it worked better for occasional file sharing (for example to transfer files between phone/pc). I don't want to keep i…

openSCAD has a few operators to highlight/isolate the current syntax block. Have you ever used those? Working on a project using openscad is not that different than using other cad…

Yes. I couldn't. The alternatives were worse. I need remote banking (travelling too frequently). No alternative allowed plain login without a second factor. I've seen other banks h…

This is not exclusive to Dell. Many laptop makers started to intentionally disable S3 for the "enhanced" S2. This was/is true of Lenovo as well: for roughly 6 months S3 was disable…

I wish I could upvote you more. There's nothing about "freedom" in this post, it's all about developer's convenience. It's easier to keep local changes and push them later if the u…
