> We are finally free of friction Free from friction, constrained by pricing and a massive ladder that can be pulled up by companies that are in no way benevolent. If you're one of…

Just as long as you're using a distro that isn't using systemd[0], which is kind of an uphill battle these days [0] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954

I'm not sure where you get the idea that Linux doesn't have hibernate - there's both userspace systemd-hibernate bindings and also the kernel swsusp which both work equally well (a…

I share the same sentiment. I've had the same Arch install running since ~2016 and have been using Arch since about 2013 and the number of times I've needed to chroot from a live i…

As an early adopter (signed up for the matrix.org riot instance some time in 2016) and someone who has run a homeserver on and off for nearly a decade, my primary issue with Matrix…

The book that's really stood out to me is the Kernighan/Pike "The Practice of Programming" as something that steered me in a really good direction when I was first learning to writ…

But with a containerized app image you can reduce the blast radius of the poorly maintained app compared to running it bare metal on a host with other services. Also you can still …

Rootkit anti-cheats can still often be bypassed using DMA and external hardware cheats, which are becoming much cheaper and increasingly common. There's still cheaters in Valorant …

The big publishers already have their own launcher and platforms and are increasingly moving back onto Steam because they see higher PC player counts and sales when their games are…

I view it as Valve is doing me a favor by adding friction towards me installing a rootkit to play video games. There's also been numerous userspace ACs that work well and also run …

You can buy a mini pc for >$200 USD that is capable of running most desktop tasks and can also handle server tasks. Good quality integrated graphics APUs are also plentiful and fai…

Sorry to hijack this thread to ask - but what is the current state of sliding sync? Does it still require a separate proxy service to enable sliding sync if you're self-hosting a h…

> what happened to just having a single device and having it run the code directly and show you the result directly? Having access to multiple computers/devices as a single user be…

Looking through the commit graph for Omarchy is wild. It has 2000+ commits, most of which contain the type of intermediary work pushed into the trunk that you'd see from a jr who d…

"dead simple" really depends on what you're targeting and how. If you're targeting a cloud deployment on hardware you don't control or that's running with multiple instances/replic…

I don't really know anything about self-hosting Next apps - but if you're deploying to k8s, it's not really that difficult or far-fetched to run an otel collector sidecar for your …

That doesn't really mean it's heavyweight though; an extra layer, sure (but I don't even really agree that it's complex - you set it up once and then mostly just log the same way y…

What specifically is heavyweight about OTEL? At its core it's a standard for producing structured logs along with some standards for exporting/collection. The heaviness is really i…

> Why can’t logger().info() just work in a sensible way? I think OTEL is pretty sensible for a vendor-free and if you want to have a console logger you can use the console exporter…

The Bitnami images and helm charts are just convenient repackaging of things that are already freely (gratis) available. There's nothing stopping you from still deploying Kafka or …

> An e-bike that can even do 20mph comfortably is much closer to a moped than a bicycle There are pedal assist ebikes hitting the market that are nearly indistinguishable from a ro…

Isn't it likely that newer projects licensing under GPL are also unlikely to be using GitHub and instead be using a platform like GitLab or Forgejo (or previously Gitea or somethin…

This is basically the modern "google-driven" development experience as well. The copy-pasting from SO trope has existed for some time, but it's much worse in the last 5-7 years wit…
