    This is a common reaction and the response is common too: this is only the case if you follow the herd to 8v8 and the two club-like maps they fixate on. But if you study the commun…

    https://www.beyondallreason.info/ is high quality and in active, open development. And fun. For some weird reason 8v8 is the default experience but there are several other modes: P…

    You can get by with 3 or four people. A few can be kids! It is intended to be played in person, but we started playing it remotely for "team building" in mid 2020. It works great o…

    Looks cool! I did a quick skim of the website and privacy policy. It was quick, so maybe I missed it, but where are the notes stored? How are they protected? Are the contents of th…

    A wise colleague recently explained to me that if you build HA things HA from the start, it's only a little more than 2x. If you try to make an _existing_ system HA, it's 3x at bes…

    Mailmate at https://freron.com/ is fantastic. My only gripe is that it is Mac-only, so I can't use it on my work desktop. (linux)

    99% of all businesses are planning on at least two really bad quarters coming up. Very few have cash reserves to cover shortfalls. If you’re planning out the rest of the year, and …

    Same here, 5 digits and a hostname = no problem. There must be some other factor(s) in play.

    You do probably want swap, but the comment you are replying to is talking about a swap _partition_ and that is not the only way to do swap. Using a file instead makes it easier to …

    https://puri.sm/ makes great laptops with hardware switches. I have one, love it, and reluctantly accept that this market will always just be the same ~1400 nerds.

    Put more simply, it is about increasing total addressable market.

    Your optimism is nice, but unfounded. South park (South of Seattle) was left with one bridge for four years: https://www.historylink.org/File/10808 In Michigan, they've resorted to…

    It looks like keyboard shortcuts don't work here? I tried the new Thunderbird, but it looks like you (still) need an extension to change keyboard shortcuts and none of them work wi…

    This looks cool, but I have been happy with https://github.com/vhp/terminal_velocity - terminal based, I use it with vim but you can specify the editor.

    So you can justify using k8s and shine up your resume!

    I buy a lot of cables for work. A few years ago I tried to order a new batch from my supplier and they told me they now had CAT6 for the same price, but thinner. So since 2015 or s…

    Looks cool, but I'm still in love with https://github.com/terminal-velocity-notes/terminal_velocity - even if I am the only one left using it. For me, a switch to the browser is a …
