    I bought a Beelink mini PC to replace the cloud VM that hosts a few things for me. I'm tired of resizing my little EBS volumes, and want to store more data. At the discounted price…

    I only use it as a light tracker of what I've read, but I'm moving to Obsidian for this purpose. The main thing it does for me is be a relatively good way to search up metadata abo…

    You're in a position where you can comfortably take some time off and explore what to do next. Your spending + assets seem to me like you're comfortably financially independent eve…

    I've had this repo starred on GitHub for a while. Sadly it doesn't seem to have been updated, but it's a good start: https://github.com/Yonaba/awesome-one-person-games

    How are you finding it so far? I set out to build my own contenteditable based editor and after a couple weeks of banging my head on it, I do appreciate Prosemirror's very rigorous…

    Yep, I think this is the fifth? I've lost track honestly. I do use it daily, but I know I can do a lot better. The next one probably will not have any noticeable Trello/kanban heri…

    I'm building it for myself, since I don't think anything will do exactly what I want it to. I wrote https://github.com/upvalue/meditations for this, but it's not nearly as powerful…

    Fathom has a self hosted open source version which I found to be fine. I checked recently and it looks like commits have slowed down so I'm not sure if it's maintained.

    Fabrice Bellard: http://bellard.org Notable: no social media, nothing like that. Just shows up occasionally with something that would take another dev probably a couple years to do…

    No. It's never been easier to make high quality software. I can run my own cloud environment, make quality user interfaces, integrate with third party providers to trivially do pre…

    Yes. I just use my own journaling app which I wrote (sorely needs an update). I track some things through there (exercise) and other things using more specialized tools (finances).…

    I've just got a syncthing set up with all my configuration and data. "Spinning up" a new computer takes me an afternoon, which I doubt I could improve on enough by using more profe…

    I'm trying to figure this out myself. I have freelanced for years from Houston and it's been fine. I avoided moving somewhere more expensive because my income was inconsistent, but…

    I have two pieces of advice: - Avoid middlemen to the extent possible. Some (not Upwork) can be a good place to fill some hours, but in general they're not a sustainable source of …

    I'm curious how old those folks were. I was I would guess the only person without a degree in my department at my last job (definitely the only dev without one) and never felt this…
