    A good part of the article feels like it was written by Claude indeed: - "The reallocations were real, but they were never the bottleneck." - "Note that the villain is not the bran…

    Yes completely! I started drinking one small but dense cup of coffee every work day just after lunch to avoid being sleepy after the meal two years ago, and this year I noticed tha…

    I've been using decimal time for years and I really like it. I revived an obsolete unit, "dimi", to go with "centi" so that 1 centiday is 0.01 days, and 1 dimiday is 0.01 centidays…

    Yes thanks! I remember all the things I needed to implement before reaching userspace, it's a lot indeed. After that it gets easier because every new change is motivated by a speci…

    Impressive! I like the goal of making a hobby OS viable as a daily driver. I've been working on my own hobby OS for half a decade. It does a lot less, but it has helped me realize …

    We started using LLMs heavily at work this year and I switched from Vim to Zed to help with that. I now spend more time writing to the chat than editing code, and what I quickly le…

    I assembled a solar server with those parts laying around last year: - Victron Monocrystalline Panel 90W 12V - Victron Gel Battery 12V 60Ah - Victron MPPT Charge Controller 75V 15A…

    I noticed the same thing and indeed the status page is not reporting the issue. I could find the missing PRs by browsing the branches page.

    I got a Quest 2 recently and Steam Link would not connect, ALVR would crash after a while, but WiVRn work perfectly on my Arch Linux with a AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. It's nice that we…

    I don't see any Fairphone on the page, they are not sold in the US?

    I enjoyed reading this exchange, it's really a matter of perspective. For someone like me living in a country with the metric system there's no issues with negative values for the …

    I went from a X200 to work on my hobby OS 5 years ago, to a T440p with 16 GB of RAM for my daily computing, then upgraded to a T480 that I could fit with 64GB of RAM, and I finally…

    15 years also for me, mostly lurking from a remote location in France, reading some discussions every single day and continuously learning new things. This community had so much im…

    Interesting, but it'd be even better if it was the OpenStreenMap of Roman Roads instead of Google Maps because like some already mentioned I could easily spot inaccuracies in my lo…

    I started hearing tinnitus a decade ago in a quiet room at night when I came back home after two years traveling the world at around 30 yo. Over the following months it became loud…

    The other day I found that they were struggling with "find me two synonyms of 'downloading' and 'extracting' that are the same length" because I was writing a script and wanted to …

    Edit: I checked the date and this server has been running since 2012 with just one re-installation a few years ago because it seemed faster than dealing with the issues I had after…

    I run a fileserver with ZFS + NFS since 2012 (I just checked the date) in my homelab and I'm happy about it. I could do the same on Linux of course but a little more OS diversity i…

    Yes there's indeed a lot of doc available, but the main issue I discovered is figuring out what's still relevant when you mostly come from a Linux background. Thanks for the PDF su…

    I've been using OpenIndiana for a file server in my homelab since it came out and it's been quietly doing its job ever since without much issues. Coming from Linux it's not easy to…

    I got a FP3 in 2020, replaced the battery and the bottom module in 2022 because I couldn't charge it anymore, and I've been really happy with it ever since. I'm not planning on buy…

    Thanks, del.icio.us was what inspired me at the time to find this domain hack, it was indeed epic!

    Hey Akkartik! That's really interesting! At the moment you're still using a terminal to launch the individual apps or something else?

    Indeed! I started with rules to turn on or off my individual heaters based on the temperature of the room but that's too many rules to setup and update. Then I found the generic th…
