I agree with this post and add one anecdotal data point. I had installed graphene os on a pixel but after a couple months and a couple loops between lineage, stock, and graphene, I…

Reddit is one of the domains I block using StepenBlack's hosts list [0]. Here is some background info on the act from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Fakes_Act . [0] ht…

I'm still schlepping around with various used thinkpads. Maybe we get another HP Dev One that sells well this time.

I've installed two KDE+Tumbleweed machines in the past two days. One for a friend into retro gaming and the other time for older family into solitaire/youtube. KDE is an easy drop-…

Flatpak works pretty well. I try to prioritize my distribution's repositories but some software is not packaged. I've taken the easy way out and installed the flatpak. I guess I co…

Beautiful visuals. I'd like something to dock with.

F-35s are probable the wrong tool. A-10s, send more A-10s.

I like this tool a lot and think it's superior to my own automation tools to generate giant host file blocklists. So, I'll be looking into switching to sinkzone. That said, my unde…

I'm in favor of spending more resources on research projects like building a probe to intercept one of these interstellar objects. It would be worth the investment to go and see, a…

Today/tonight is the 2025 ARRL Field day. Come find a ham to talk to.

First off, dont look at the outer wilds discussion on here, just play the game. Second - they didnt say how many letters we need to encode all of the observable supernova in a give…

TFA lists C at number 3 per the Tiobe ranking and the linked Tiobe report has Ruby at #24. I tried to find a different list for comparison as I dont think that is true for projects…

Watch this [0] interview with a former USAID diector. He states you dont blow up the organization and attack the non-political civil servants, you install a director that works wit…

A couple days late, but its still 2024. Here's mine, I'll go back and check in a year. I'll try and do at least 10 predictions for future laughs. In 2025, we will: * Extract more c…

Alex is doing some great work.

Hackaday also has an article up talking about how Prusa Core has dropped its' open hardware hardware licensing seen in other Prusa products. [0]: https://hackaday.com/2024/11/20/wi…

That sucks. Did NOAA have their own application site or did you go through USAJOBs? I would recommend to you or others reading this that if you're applying through USAJOBs, then ma…

We're reducing where we can. We have two young kids and threw out most of their plastic plates and cups. We kept a few for their utility. Heat increases transmissibility, so don't …

Since we're all just reading tea leaves, my guess is Valve is looking at a higher performance, lighter, ARM-based SteamDeck 2. They have time to develop it, so maybe they're target…
