Such a good sign that my (very) old Roku 3 died just yesterday, out of the blue.

As a public policy specialist (and a tinkerer when it comes to tech), I read the article with pure joy. This is the "wonder" that happens when you build for the client instead of f…

As a non-technical person (not a dev, not a SWE, just a curious and selftaught tinkerer), I only want my _local_ markdown files to render as a beautiful - or at least, clean - webp…

Nice to read these points/warnings;) The product seems more 'focused' than Nextcloud, for sure. But their docker choices are quite opinionated: no longer than yesterday I've tried …

Same here, tried both and sticked with Miniflux that seems on the lighter side. I don't really need the web interface or an app, because I channel everything towards a Telegram bot…

At a system level, this totally makes sense. But as an individual learner, what would be my motivation to do so, when I can "just" actually learn my subject and move on?

It's high fees, burdensome sanctions/AML checks (especially if the said country has been recently or is still on a GAFI list), plus the suboptimization of the core banking systems …

Oh, is there a way to switch to the beta channel? I love and use Swinsian, I know they're actively working on the next major version, but can't get interim ones.

> unceasing growth As someone with a finance background and job, this deeply annoys and irritates me. Even made me quit a market finance path for something more realistic. As the s…

A customer shouldn't be the one going through such hops in order to "satisfy" a provider who can't bother to accept a widely used mean of payment

Amen to this (no religious meaning implied) I'm a self-taught tech savvy, I'm aware of where I come from and how far I've come. And I'm deeply annoyed when I see this almost condes…

Interestingly, password syncing is one of the most reliable things I've seen Firefox doing during the last years. If you don't even have to think about it, that means it "just work…

Not a fabricated memory, I've noticed the same trend. And I thought, maybe it's because being controversial is the norm lately. I hoped HN would be immune to it though.

Worth mentioning that Syncthing doesn't have a cloud part, while DB does. That said, I've been running it since the very beginning, even before it became public/known, and it had n…

Yes. Thanks to Firefox + uBlock Origin, _the name of the CEO of Twitter and SpaceX_ name has completely vanished from my everyday browsing. I can do the same for ChatGPT. Or any ot…

Yes. Thanks to Firefox + uBlock Origin, "Elon Musk" has vanished from my everyday browsing. I can do the same for ChatGPT. Or any other thing or topic that swtiches from initial ho…

I feel you, totally. I also feel the same about many many other subjets, revolving around 'mordern' corporate culture. Take recruitment, for example: if the candidate has the requi…

Something that can't be solved by PUID/PGID in the command or in Compose?

Regulator here, previously in the industry. I'm utterly appalled at how much 'useless'(1) info banks require to provide a service as simple as opening an account. neither the Rgula…

That was and still is the main way I use music players. On any (new) platform I always look for the one that provides such possibilities. I was a Winamp guy on Windows, now I'm usi…

Are you sure about the re-uploading part? I've had an issue like that last week, and am currently stuck with my mails locally, not able to 'put them back' to the IMAP server. Not G…

I feel exactly the way you described. And considering that I'm on a self-improvement track and have a few books like this to read, adding the day to day life (job, family, other sk…

"A management layer over my MD files". Exactly this.

Wholeheartedly seconding this. I've been hating commuting with passion for my 15+ years of work, and WFH then back to the office made it worse. I once visited an apartment complex …
