I recently find my solution to this on desktop Linux: + The machine has "Do not Disturb" on, forever. + My todo is a never ending text file. Every appointments are laid out on prev…

The ones that I use the most are designed to reduce context switching, like: Mutt, personal wiki (fzf searching and neovim editing) and todo (a long never ending markdown file), th…

My kitty configuration has grown too much and I could hardly memorise all the customisations. I use its remote control heavily for my workflow. Before kitty, I usually use xterm or…

Yandex image has his photo listed literally in the first position. Cool website and idea though.

I still prefer asdf. It does the job just fine. Direnv has its own stdlib, which sometimes I find useful, and make is something I have to install anyway.

My legal given name was only two characters, which is quite common for Chinese. Airport self check-in kiosks rejected me a lot, and my hunch told me it should be my first name caus…

I started by reading Michael LaFargue version, and it is pretty good delivering a basic understanding of the text. I can understand acient Chinese text pretty well, and the origina…

The gameplay was too short, but still it was a better game than any Diablo releases later. I still remember the horror when confronting the Butcher for the first time. Butchers fro…

I thought about this a while back. Virtual reality is still reality. The early internet that we experienced in 90s felt so different from real world, because it was a new media and…

Enterprises have different priorities from individual users who use Linux as a "daily driver". The last thing they would like to see is an upgrade disrupting their production, and …

Yes, rst is more powerful. So powerful that it can cause CVE.

It is amazing that you still have positive karma.

The title alone makes me laugh.

Yudhisthira is not an omnipotent god like Buddha. His story in Mahabharata makes him more human than godlike. He makes a lot of mistakes.

Imagine Buddha played a game and lost to his opponent. This would not happen. If you want to start your own religion, you would not allow this to happen.

It’s not up to a search engine to decide what is true or false. If they want to play this game, it’s censorship.

After self-hosting whoogle, I never look back. It’s still google but with a lot of junk removed. Sometimes I have to use yandex though, Google’s results are censored and politicall…

Self-hosting whoogle, now I should remove this plugin.

Have you tried `ledger xact` command? This helps to create new transactions based on previous ones. I have a small wrapper[1] for this, namely "la", which enables me to do somethin…

Just updated my AdguardHome's block list. Non tech savvy people are screwed. Honestly, how could the majority win this game even when people surfing HN are scrambling to catch up?

Apple makes money selling devices; Google makes money selling targeted ads. Making devices more secure will benefit Apple's business, so is collecting more user data to Google's bu…

I use it to automate deploys. Thank you.

I use self-hosted Gitlab CI runner with docker. It never misses a beat.
