Local clones and bundles are cool. I used to use hg bundle for one-off transport workflows back in the day. An offline cheat sheet of those git commands comes in hand occasionally,…

Thank you. I will use this.

Oh. Thanks for the tip. This might make me finally embrace powershell. I’ve been using WSL+zsh+fzf as a Windows CLI for continuity with day job Mac tools, but git CLI performance i…

Happy to note after a couple years using S-Gear that I tinker with it less than I expected and haven't been seriously tempted to buy an amp. I think having the option to try all th…

It’s a little heavy, but I can say it runs fine in a 1 GB VPS, with the addition of a 1 GB swap file to compile the front end during installation and upgrade.

Yep. There are even settings to require a login to view any content, designed for private instances such as for classrooms, which effectively locks down the instance. That’s how I …

Ah, they have a card in progress for a one-click Digital Ocean install [1]. Fantastic! This is an incredible open source project to watch, not your typical library or system servic…

I set up a private Mastodon server for my family several weeks ago and we're loving it. It's a mighty impressive Rails/React app, very well designed and implemented. I have a few m…

I spent some time recently cleaning up my Putty sessions. My goal was to control all colors in the Putty settings and have everything look good with tmux, bash, and emacs out of th…

Very nice, thanks for the tutorial. I see that TBLFM saves some coding vs. the gist in [2].

Interesting use of orgmode as a database. How does it work? Does that use a built in agenda functionality or are you calling lower level org functions to query your agenda files an…

I often get stuck somewhere between a one-off keyboard macro and finding a pre-written full-blown mode but resist learning the techniques and functions needed to do this powerful i…

How about writing the warning in the sky, say hourly?

When this article came up last year I thought about grooving a metal spatula with the Dremel, although I've not gotten around to it partly because I have never seen a bristle come …

Then there is the SEP IRA, which is an IRA with large limits but only your employer can contribute. I’m very thankful for my Fidelity SEP IRA with access to every product a taxable…

That’s a good coup. Did it bleed into your family’s other circles outside the family at all?

There is certainly object detection available on the cameras and behavioral analysis applied to this information and POS data in aggregation software at the store and chain level f…

Ah. I wonder if that's why Capital One's login is down. I'm a little surprised their app isn't more resilient, but this is the second multi-hour outage I've noticed in the past cou…

I have found the learning curve to be very steep. Extension points are several, subtle, and powerful, leveraging heavily not only normal OOP but also python meta programming. It is…

Downvote? Both points were stated in the FAQ. I did extrapolate from Go to the installation point.

I mean simple in terms of the theoretical possibility of a single binary vs. any form of local compilation, packaging, or dependencies. In practice, I didn’t check, maybe they depe…

It's tuned to the preferences of another company; if you prefer their taste on the finer points, that's one. Secondly, it's written in Go, so installation should be simpler.

waf continues to be the underappreciated gem in this space: high level build language supporting many languages and tools, cross platform, implemented and extensible in Python, not…
