I've been a Kindle user since way back in 2010 with a Kindle 3G. I had a pretty huge amount of money invested into a library of books on Kindle. I installed koreader on my paperwhi…

Quadlets are awesome and honestly I think one of the best additive things that podman has on top of the regular docker toolset. I use podman regularly, and despite it being a good …

I have good results with this setup: Hardware: - GPU: AMD 7900xtx, 24gb vram - CPU: AMD 5950x, AM4 - RAM: 64gb DDR4 3600 Software: - OS: Bazzite (atomic fedora - this machine is ru…

I think a lot of places were at various points in time, right? It's always a little easier to paint with a broad brush and lump hundreds of years into a single statement when you'r…

The idea that Japan is a uniquely "homogeneous culture" is honestly a modern construct anyway. Japanese culture and language has been enormously influenced by colonial and migrant …

assuming you have a locally running llama-server or llama-swap, just drop this into your crush.json with your setup details/local addresses etc: Edit: i forgot HN doesn't do code f…

I think Kagi is kind of making this happen currently with search. Not sure how their adoption number are going, but people are willing to pay $$ for better search with no "sponsore…

Honestly even in "developed countries" it's not worth blindly trusting that the power in your house/building is clean. It's cheap and easy enough to just put any expensive hardware…

I think it's important because there are a bunch of would-be claimants for intellectual property violation. Many people speculate that their work was used in training data, but it …

Clearly discord has more of a vested interest in boosting engagement - especially now that they are showing people "quests". What a quirky and fun way to say "ads"! But at the same…

The guy is high on his own supply. This entire thing reads like a fever dream.

1000% agree - you said everything better that I was trying to say in my comment. Likewise coming from conventional TWMs I had some of the same struggles initially but the whole thi…

The majority of the projects in this comment chain don't actually independently implement a compositor in Rust - which is a good thing IMHO. Cosmic and Pinaccle at least come from …

Currently using Niri and DMS via https://github.com/zirconium-dev/zirconium which is fedora bootc atomic + niri + dms. After taking a year or so away from tiling WMs where I was us…

For me I guess I don't really see what it's adding. You can watch an actual video clip of Jensen begging people not to "bully" or say "hurtful" things about AI while wearing a stup…

I hate LLMs as much as the next guy, but this was honestly just not very funny. Humor can be a great vehicle for criticism when it's done right, but this feels like clickbait-level…

Are you sure you've actually used the higher refresh rate? It might not be enabled by default. I'd be surprised if you can't tell the difference comparing 60hz to 120hz back to bac…

I work remotely and use a starlink mini for work and general internet usage since I road trip in the summer a lot. For work I'm not using doing RDP/remote desktop stuff since I hav…

Yep. I've stopped using them after years of em dash-ing. It just wasn't worth continuing to use them once that became everyone's default "written by LLM" heuristic. I think now I u…

I fucking hate responses like the one you're responding to. I'm someone who writes long comments, and I've always been that way. The last few years have been awful because it doesn…

Yes, and I think we're already seeing that in the general trend of recent linux work toward atomic updates. [bootc]( https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2024/09/24/bootc-gett...…

Yep - exactly. Ops isn't immune to LLMs stealing your customers. Given that most of the "open source product with premium hosting" models are just reselling hyperscaler compute at …

I think I'm realizing that openscad was probably just the first time that parametric design options were given to me in a context where it made sense to me (in code). Maybe some of…

yeah, op here: it's exactly that. I've used most of the free or open source software options and it seemed like none of them are parametric. I know I could buy fusion or something …
