Unironically, AI could automate the boycott.

That's some hillarious misnaming, I love it. It probably was meant to be something like "make more comprehensible, use simpler language but more words" and we got this.

> The only time I want a TUI is when I'm SSH'd into a machine Well, that's your need and it is fine. For me, I want TUIs all the time for everything. They blend really nice with...…

That was trivial to do in ~2019, when one could quit a job today and be sure to find another one next month. Today, not possible.

Can anyone share their experience with such 1+ month "vacations", while having a family with wife and 2+ kids? It's cool to read about author's experiences with travelling and maki…

I second that, EU here. Most of my colleagues take either 5 days (which creates 9 days free in a row effectively, when combined with weekends) or 10 days (which creates 16). Any no…

I am very fond of pico retirements, I mean, going home at 5 pm and not working until 9 am the next day. I highly recommend everyone to try such.

What is "better code"?

Well then you need a better password manager. Like a .kdbx file which is ~100% available, given enough copies I guess.

I'm opposite. If my email goes down, or I do not have access to it, I cannot login. With passwords I still can.

Not sure what do you mean? If that is a concern, there are solutions for this. Like UPSes and backup cellular connections.

> "selfhosting a cellphone at home with some kind of remote access system You can use TeamViewer for that. Or maybe scrcpy could be coerced into working in a similar way.

Well said. The rush is when one understands the loosely coupled control loops and how they work together... until something fails in the middle with no error.

As of 2026, still not, and probably never.

Alerting on level=ERROR doesn't require agentic monster systems burning tokens constantly.

Crap, I totally believed this. We live in a dystopia already.

None of this requires running it 24/7.

Please do not blame the user.

This is cursed as hell. Thanks for sharing.

To add insult to the injury, the charging port of Nintendo DS Lite was almost mini-USB, but not quite - with enough force and some metal bending it was apparently possible to make …

I'm curious, what amp is this? Is it for charging something? The end is TRRS, is there a DAC/ADC molded in the plug for audio interface purposes?

> actually there are a few out there Because the usecase of charging many (think 5 or more) devices at the same time for hours is pretty rare.

These PD testers are cool (I thought about buying one), but honestly, for the price of a tester, one can buy 2, maybe even 3 good quality cables and just throw away the rest.

The phrase "drink beer" could mean anything from 2 beers on a sunny weekend to 6-pack every night. They are not comparable.
