Actual link is https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/15022#issuecomment-18024... but HN's dup detection links to a story from 83 days ago. @dang et al, would be nice to consider anch…

If you have a USB OTG dongle, try plugging in a USB mouse and/or keyboard and accepting the ADB keys / enabling USB debugging that way. I have successfully recovered damaged phones…

It's hard to blame the average passerby for harboring contempt for TikTok. I joined at one point and the content they show "brand new" accounts trends extreme. I assume they do it …

GitLab CI is definitely competitive with GitHub Actions. What's the specific feature set you're missing? "Polish" is pretty vague, especially in the context of a post that laments …

It's probably a good idea because some GitHub browser extensions will automatically hide forks from search results, under the assumption that basically all "forked" projects are dr…

Got a Quest2 last July, right around time that Google was killing their Icosa-type-thing. OpenBrush was imo one of the best apps for it and I wanted to start playing around with th…

> The problem is that those are two highly correlated data points. Toxic bosses are eventually found but at that point they leave a track of dead bodies. Agree, and this is often o…

Ethereum's history clearly demonstrates the folly of "code as law". How many hard forks have they had by now?

"(Personal|Professional|Performance) Improvement Plan". It's the first formal stage in the firing process at most companies with HR depts, which would almost certainly include any …

It sounds distasteful only because the vast majority of bosses out there aren't worthy of the mantle. An individual's relationship with their immediate boss is one of those intimat…

Up-up-Ctrl+K to kill the line; down to go down one in the history; end to go to end of line; `; and` or ` &&` to join the commands; ctrl+Y to yank the line from the killring. [0] S…

Kodi is awesome, but every time I try to use it on a set-top box-type thing, it promptly consumes the entire available storage. I'm going to have to concoct some type of just-in-ti…

You have to put it in a library that's classified as "Other", and then it will show all video files it's capable of playing as regular media without necessarily requiring you to de…

Jellyfin doesn't run on FreeBSD because .NET doesn't run on FreeBSD. This is sad.

> No matter what anyone tells you, there is zero evidence that any part of the virus is engineered (and it isn't even entirely clear what such evidence would look like, in general!…

Utah is great, but don't come here. We want CA problems to stay in CA.

Yeah, git is really not a mature or well-designed VCS. The fact that you can trivially lose the supposed permanent reference -- and that it's encouraged as part of several common w…

Yeah, I started working at a place where 90%+ of the production codebase is actively-maintained Perl, and it honestly feels great. These guys might have a hard time fitting a recru…

Firefox's tools are still competitive with Chrome and there are even a few things I miss about them when debugging in Brave. It gives a little joy to know that Mozilla is still com…

Gecko is already effectively lost -- the groups doing cutting-edge work were cut back in August. We're just watching the implosion. I switched from Firefox to Brave in October and …

The layoffs last summer tell us all we need to know about the direction Mozilla's headed. I think they're toast. Brave and -- dare I say it? -- even Edge have brighter prospects.

This is where independent resellers via Shopify, their own cart system, etc. have a chance. There's no way to be sure you're getting a real battery from Amazon so I always buy this…
