   Does this intend to fill a similar spot in the Rust ecosystem as fsspec ( https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ) does for Python, or am I getting the wrong idea?

   I love how it was already clear that it would be Raymond Chen's blog just from the title and domain name. I really enjoy The Old New Thing and his coverage of obscure details that might otherwise be long forgotten.

   At least in Germany (where I live), it is entirely normal for the pedestrian lights to be synchronized with the road parallel to it, meaning that turning cars will cross the path of walking pedestrians. However, by law pedestrians have the

   I was actually wondering if the driving factor is legal documents. ID cards show names in all-caps letters, which creates the dilemma that your ID might not show your actual name (notwithstanding international standards for travel documents

    Small nitpick: uppercase ẞ was added to Unicode 5.1 in 2007 ( https://unicode-table.com/en/1E9E/ ) and is considered correct German orthography since 2017 (see §25 E3 in https://grammis.ids-mannheim.de&#x

    You can also use iodine ( https://github.com/yarrick/iodine/ ) to tunnel IPv4 data through DNS (useful e.g. when on a captive portal network that doesn't block DNS requests). Performance isn't great obviou

    I love Inkscape, but I really wish it could work with CMYK colors natively (and not simply transform them into RGB internally).

    While I haven't personally tried it (and have since given up on BT audio in my setup), there seems to be a way to extract the pairing key from Windows and have the Linux Bluetooth stack use it (see e.g. [0]), effectively making the Win

    I recently wanted to give my current RPi4 home server a GitOps makeover, migrating services (Home Assistant, Nextcloud and others) to k3s in the process. What has been an obstacle is the availability of officially maintained Docker images f

    Thanks for providing some context! Reading your response makes me realize that my initial assumption was probably way too pessimistic - and that the project serves a nice educational purpose. On top, sparking interest in tech and ham in kid

    Not a ham operator, but I'd assume that a transmitter like this will emit a significant amount of noise across the RF spectrum (also, make sure to check your local laws before transmitting in potentially reserved frequency bands, e.g.

    "Working great" in the sense that the modification and integration was pretty painless. In terms of output quality, I've only done a few smoke tests (pun intended) - cooking, blowing smoke over the sensor - with decent result
