I think it's a little more nuanced. Most people cannot fiddle (with PCs). They would have to learn to, first. Does this mean they deserve to have shit shoved down their throats? No…

Why wouldn't they be? No fiddling, super compact form factor, (usually) far superior energy efficiency, maybe phone apps, did I mention no fiddling? Also, the form factor!

Oh yeah, that combination of fear and lack of knowledge probably plays a big part. I was once involved with creating a privacy policy for a B2B(!) web application. What a farce. In…

It's also not the optimal choice in most situations: https://chrisdown.name/2026/03/24/zswap-vs-zram-when-to-use-...

If you join multiple/many tables, you could end up with a large volume of data. And yes, this is bit-for-bit duplication—on the network. The query result is (typically) a single ta…

This should be the source: https://github.com/chattocorp/chatto/tree/main/apps/docs-web... It's Astro and Astro Starlight. I feel it looks very similar to other contemporary docs w…

https://travic.app/ Basically all of Europe, with varying levels of detail.

I actually think the search feature rocks, because you have high fidelity OSM maps to query. Can't search for drinkable wells in Google Maps! But then, it of course isn't Google Ma…

Why not? On my home server, k3s (single-node master), sitting idle (no workload, no changes), has amassed as much CPU time as a full virtual machine running Home Assistant: 17.75 h…

To each their own, of course, but: If you're within a 1-hour walking or cycling radius (and you have access to showers at your destination), this is no problem at all. Plus, the me…

Man if only there was a solution to this. It's almost as if we could design our environment to minimize this (bike- and pedestrian-friendly routes) and then deal with the aftermath…

It's great. It's complicated. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2013 – very old. NixOS runs totally great! Even the proprietary hardware just works, with the nixos-hardware channel. Batter…

Very cool. The download progress bar is broken though, it receives values 0-1 but the max is set to 300.

Hetzner is almost exclusively offering consumer-grade hardware.

Arguably, this situation is already broken right now. If an organization can't be bothered to use their tools (Sharepoint and the wider O365 ecosystem) correctly, it's entirely on …

That's what I feel. Whenever I see someone writing something to the effect of “LLMs will replace X” (where X could be literally anything including software developers) I get an int…

Unfortunately, they often lack what we gained over the last decades. Namely navigating with a mouse and being self-explanatory and same-y. The latter is mostly because certain GUI …

Extremely unlikely. Automating Office (the desktop application suite) simply does not scale. It's not needed, either. Libraries exist that can extract information from Office docum…

> Frontend projects are very repetitive. I’m sorry, what? This is such a shit take, I don’t even know where to start. What’s repetitive about them? That all UIs contain buttons or …

Yes, it can be sniffed. It will at least use transport encryption, like TLS. For everything, yes. So you'll only get encrypted data you cannot read. You could attempt a Man-in-the-…

GP suggests that it's fine if it's not forbidden yet. My (sarcastic) suggestion is that it is not, because corporations never act in good faith.

Dunno, maybe strive to release no pollutants at all? Then we wouldn't need all the pesky big government overreach.

On my iPad Pro from 2017, none of the videos even play. Not sure what's better!

There's not, sorry. I can only advice you look outside the "tech sector" (FAANG and the smaller wannabes). As implied, my employer's product is not software, but rather hardware. T…

> I feel like I'm in a different field compared to the rest of hacker news. That should be my line. My new employer does not use LLMs at all. Software development, marketing, hardw…
