Thanks for the fun read.

I think you're underselling this. Sunshine can't do any resolution on Linux. That's huge. :)

It's impressive but it seems like they cut out a ton of the grinding to level up the Charizard to brute force through the game. While this is no small feat, it looks like Claude wa…

I see a lot of hate for Google in this thread but at least one thing they do well: it's really easy to fix. Takeout actually works. You can just download your photos and leave. As …

This is a social network. Did I miss something?

The author posted this on a vibe coding subreddit, so I'd be willing to wager some AI deep research with manual clean up.

It's vogue on HN to sometimes criticize critically so I want to try and be as constructive as possible: I work for one of these companies. I also have pay bills to pay. I'd like to…

Yep, in terms of just getting storage back I just simply run `ncdu` once a year and go for it.

I kind of like digging through the downloads folder every year or two though and seeing all the things I had done and explored. I copy anything useful to a NAS and then delete the …

Just a small note: it is not possible to unDRM books published post 2023 at this time. Amazon has changed their DRM scheme.

It's likely someone's 20% project.

Refactoring those services sucks though if the data model changes. :(

When writing tests and some Angular code, I often have to write some boilerplate (import X, create a Y to do Y, add a function, implement an interface) One such example is this: ht…
