    No it’s not, all of my and my extended family cards (for… like a decade!) are never even leave the envelope they come in. I’m not sure I personally know people who use physical car…

    Cool project! Get a blog and post there, please! Photos, media, anything, is very welcome! One of the most interesting things I’ve read here in a very long time. Don’t let it be wa…

    The original authors are from Russia, and their first product maps.me was sold to a Russian company with ties with Kremlin. I wouldn’t touch anything they do, so Organic was a no-g…

    Today I learned the FreeBSD Foundation executive does not daily drive FreeBSD on laptop. (Without even opening the article.) This alone looks exceptionally weird for me.

    Did you mean M1 MacBook Air/Pro or is it now possible to install it on an iPad?

    Is that slop? Reads as ‘hey, I have the perspective’ but then reveals they know next to nothing about the systems, just spilling the well-known myths. (About Linux, obviously.) Was…

    The solution of this problem could be many, depending on the situation. I have my blog and other static sites synced to all my devices, and the server rebuilds them nightly. In mos…

    I would appreciate getting into more details. As it sounds like a made-up problem to me. Perhaps you don’t understand how simple it is to have a static website as compared to a dyn…

    I can live preview my website from my local server / computer / laptop, while writing content from basically anything. Even a cheap and underpowered writing deck with 400 MHz CPU. …

    That surely depends on a country. Data centre is still better in theory. But in practice, I have very little imagination to use a gigabit connection all to myself.

    Are you guys even serious on this? Ok, I’d reboot my personal server daily then.

    What’s the point if I can just connect it to my router and not pay any money to anyone, expect some electricity price, which would be like ten times cheaper. My old laptop is capab…

    It’s really unclear whether you have any Linux experience. Because it feels like someone who knows Windows very well, and spent some time with Linux here and there.

    I wish them what I wished them when Windows Vista was released, and I said to my friend something like ‘huh, we have all that in Linux’ What I meant is GUI, as I was just a beginne…

    It’s like nobody knows who the author is, and that he’s rich. It’s different from when you’re not rich. (Not even saying poor.)

    Of course, it would support only a couple of the most recent devices. Wouldn’t it? :)

    Any coding task produces some trash, while I can prototype with ChatGPT quite a lot, sometimes delivering the entire app almost entirely vibe-coded. Gemini, it takes a few prompts …

    The man I worked with couldn’t deploy a VPN. He didn’t know how, literally! And he couldn’t just plainly say ‘hey, really, I don’t know how to do that.’ They have a static IP in th…
