Well, we just spun up anubis in front of a two user private (as in publicly accessible but with almost all content set to private/login protected) forgejo instance after it started…

"Perfection is the enemy of good" also applies here, imho. If you need one specific machine and cannot work without it, well I guess there's not much more you can do than the nail …

Having played and completed (though not 100%'ed) both, I did like HZD's story more - though Zelda has never been known for the stories - but disliked/hated everything else, to the …

Death Stranding on the PS4 is the last time I remember being truly immersed in the world the game is presenting - in a non-Nintendo game. The first time you go out of the city, the…

I have a very basic "content repository" that started out as an RSS reader and now has pocket/instapaper like link saving, notetaking and basic GPT integrations (summary for rss en…

Everything is relative. I'm in IT - in fact in a decently high paying and relevant part of it, being a devops specialist - in the West (in Italy) and I make ~1700 euros a month, an…

Actual pros are just doing it for free with the same setup but added Prowlarr/Jackett and private trackers, so it's all free without having to pay for usenet. The issue then become…

In Italy, where I (and many other posters on HN) live, a self-employing carpenter makes _much_ more than a software developer, at least at "normal" salaries for the country. For re…

Officially, the cartridges stopped production around the same date the digital version was "taken down". It just sold exactly as poorly as every other retrogaming/nostalgia cash gr…

Same with Emacs + CIDER for Clojure instead of Common Lisp. Fully remote project setup on powerful server, accessed from local Emacs with TRAMP mode. CIDER commands (REPL included)…

From what I've heard it's mostly fintech, at least in places nearish where I live (Italy)

I'll be reading Domain Modeling Made Functional [1], which seems fun as it applies F#/ML/FP concepts to "enterprisey" DDD. [1] https://isthisit.nz/posts/2019/domain-modeling-made-f…

Got any specs on those Atoms? A passively cooled homelab build sounds pretty interesting...

Besides, I don't get the whole "can't do geek things on an iPad". I have an iPad Pro 2017 and I've: - Run full linux on it (both emulated X86 and via WASM magic, via A-Shell and iS…

This makes sense to me, looking for stability both in usage and in configuration. Emacs has been that for me, but I do use it for nearly everything for a very extensive configurati…

This sounds similar to what I do with Emacs, having it fullscreen with a code buffer mostly full window with occasional split columns on the right for terminals, magit etc - also c…

I never really understood TWMs. They look incredibly pretty after heavy configuration, and I get the appeal of that, but for daily use my workflow - on two 27' 4k monitor - is to k…

Gmail, Chat and Meet down from Italy as well, was in a Meet call and got disconnected, only getting 500s across all three now

Of course there is! The GPD family of Windows devices (Win/Win2/Win Max and Pocket/Pocket 2/Pocket2 Max) have pretty good hardware and somewhat decent linux support (they all have …

It's extremely easy to set up the entire stack (Sonarr for TV, Radarr for movies, Lidarr for music, Transmission (or Deluge, or Rtorrent) and Jackett for torrent handling, Plex (or…

Also from sircmpwn, there is a mailing list called free-writers-club [0] with quite a few introductory posts and blog links... post yours, everyone! Hello and welcome! This mailing…

Powershell kinda does this, but people are still debating if it's a good thing or not. (personally, I think it is, and helps give structure to the sometimes too "dynamic" world tha…

WoW works perfectly on linux with Proton, and installing it is as easy as getting Lutris and double clicking on WoW's icon. WoW classic also works perfectly, if that's your thing.

Might be a Blizzard thing, I remember the original WoW box (the 5 CDs version) came with a small-book sized manual (200 pages or so, IIRC) with lore and explanations for the variou…
