From a Dane that finds multiple of these fonts gorgeous and highly appreciate the elaborate kern pairs: please consider patching the fonts with an ø. ;-)

GP is not fully correct. Under Danish tax rules unrealized gains are not taxed for standard stock investments. Taxation only happens when realizing gains or losses, except for spec…

Related to this is the Red Cross and Crescent symbols, which have their usage protected usage (mainly for armed forces and emergency relief) by the Geneva Convention: https://en.wi…

Consider reading up on the author. He's been living in Japan for large parts of his life.

Additionally, xterm starts quickly, has an incredibly responsive feel (the latency from keyboard press to a character appearing is lower than any other terminal emulator I've used)…

Heavy duty deployment tooling is a hobby of its own. :-)

I started out using Gitlab for my personal repos, but have switched to using bare Git repos on a VPS for the last few years. If you won't be collaborating with anyone else, nothing…

I enjoy how well-crafted Fossil seems to be; just like SQLite, which a sibling comment also mentioned. I really want to use Fossil, but it would be way too hard for me to not have …

For a more gentle introduction, check out 'The METAFONTbook', also by Donald E. Knuth. I think that it is still not available in a digital format, but your local CS-oriented librar…

IRC is not really decentralised, is it? Or are you arguing that it’s decentralised in the sense that each user can implement and control some features like logging?

Usually it's spelled 'bougie' cf. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bougie

I recently took up baking (as in bread) as a hobby. It brings me joy to produce something as well smelling and testing as bread. Cooking in general could also be a hobby. Going hik…

I reckon that the chance of the same two blocks on two different disks failing between ZFS scrubs would be incredibly small.

The readme for this project specifies the user agent of the client as Picotorrent/x.y.z, which makes me think that most private trackers would block it.

Can you provide some details on the claim that Matrix is deeply insecure?

9/11 wasn't caused by lockpicks in luggage. The Vegas shooting had guns in luggage as a key factor.

Thank you for posting this! The tenacity of the OpenBSD community keeps on impressing me.

Nationalise Elsevier? EU does not simply "nationalise" companies on a whim.

> which is essentially abandonware Could you please expand on this? This seems like something that requires a source.

Slightly OT: BoJack Horseman hits the nail right on the head in so many aspects regarding human nature, social interactions, mental health etc. The characters are so deeply human i…

The Arch Linux wiki has a good explanation: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFISTUB

This seems like a better solution than what the author proposed. Another thought could be that the pop-ups would only be disabled for the spatial parts of the pop-up which have an …

I can see how the author finds this an issue, but I have to disagree with his proposed solution. Halving the width of the notification in the way shown would only work in the cases…

Is Ted Nelson generally seen as the inventor of hypertext? Vannevar Bush's As We May Think was published in 1945, but it seems that his descriptions of what would later be called h…

It can be done with a bit of work using QEMU/libvirt. The Arch Linux wiki has a good guide for doing it. Not that it’s a pretty solution always…
