I have been getting into electronics a fair bit in the last year. I always find Dave jones from EEVblog entertaining. Dave does some simple back of the napkin calculations in this …

I like your nuanced observation here. It reminds me of a quote I come back to often when I am seeing toxic behaviour in some organisations. > Dysfunctional behaviour is ubiquitous …

On the same topic, I have been finding this book an entertaining and informative read - published in 2023. - https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/62586003 The author of the above…

I also use NixOS, but if the target was not NixOS, I don't think you should be requesting the set up as needing fixing by the author. It just doesn't sound right - or maybe it is j…

Kudos. Thanks for the good communications and security response.

Cody is great, it had become my go-to (and I pay for Github Co-pilot). With that said, they have recently changed the architecture, with the local install required, and I have not …

Drake's book looks great. I appreciate his efforts to create a mental model and learning approach to NixOS. I found a set of tutorials on YouTube by Will, to be incredibly helpful …

Interesting response here in the issues. The project is still active. It seems that feature requests and issues are not being asked of the project. https://github.com/mustafaakin/g…

Hi Julian, I just had a play with Garnix - and have to say I am impressed. Nicely executed. Nice to see nix and flakes hitting hackernews through projects/services like this.

You may want to consider a meta-framework for the same reason I did. I also code on my own. I was interested in building stuff, but had little time to learn everything I needed to …

I have done syncing with pass between multiple clients (and android) using syncthing or git. Either option has worked fine. For some reason I prefer syncthing. The android client w…

I like it - I am also a fan of Excaldraw. I noticed some kind of error coming up in trying to export to pdf - other than that it seems to be working well. I am using the following …

I was reading through the comments wondering why so many technically capable people are paying for a password store service when passwordstore works nicely in the space and gives y…

There are some very good reasons not to short tether which are listed at the below link. The source of this is bitfinexed has been railing against tether since 2017 and has been a …

I just installed this and had a look at the algo set. It looks good, thanks for posting.

This site is amazing. I love it. As a side project, while teaching my kids, I have been building a site for using python for maths for the same target audience (10 - 16 year olds).…

Thinkpad T460p on arch linux for me (after getting macbook pro 2017 15 inch keyboard issues followed with cablegate immediately afterwards). The T460p is a 2016/17 secondhand machi…
