I use a mix of Evolution[0] (GNOME's Thunderbird) and Geary[1]. Geary has a very nice UI, and can become mobile-like, and Evolution has much more support for automations and other niceities. There's also alps[2], if you want a web

This reminds me of an article I read somewhere (probably here in HN) wherein people implementing Banking Services just straight up test the API in Production after a few cycles of mock development, due to constantly having to deal with edge

My idea was even simpler tbh, I'd make a bunch of m3u files, and rename them with a SHA1 hash. Then just put the hash value in RFID tags. Yes, it's not as remotely extendable, but then again, I've like 5 or 6 offline-only pla

How cool! I've been wanting to build the exact same thing as your RFID-MP3 player, but thinking of going with a better DAC to power an amp+speakers combo. I really, really miss CD and cassette players too. Vinyl is not my kind of thing

OpenWRT, CD and DVD Players, Kindles, and OpenBSD due to some recent HN article. I knew about most of them a little or fair bit already, but there's always something to learn the deeper you go :)

Yeah, one of the “ends” being Facebook itself. It's “legal” as in it is indeed end-to-end encrypted in the same way Cloudflare-hosted websites are, but very shitty. I always thought Facebook did this, but having some confirmation bias

Such an awesome find, I'm thinking of sticking this to my CI Pipeline now! :D I use SQLite for a gameserver, having 3 different databases for different stuff. And this would be a lifesaver for others working on anything requiring the m

Is that a choice question? Or does it require a subjective answer? If it's the latter, then the question is reasonable to some degree, I guess? “Company 4 might be the best in terms of naive computer-calculated average, but anything th

It's kind of weird to me that it starts from $139, a price range where you can buy a 65% Keychron mech keyboard[1], _and_ stuff like the Pinephone Keyboard[2]. The latter is not exactly comparable, since its more like a mini-keyboard s

I'm not sure about America, but from the place I'm from (SE Asia), having a laptop after graduation is quite common, and many times required. Yeah, more and more people no longer need one, but having some sort of bigger screen hel

It depends on how it's done, I'd say. On one side, there are companies like Sublime Text and JetBrains. Their subscription model is fair, to me atleast. Also, for most software that HN users would use, they'd likely have al

If you think about it, the reason Rust, or any other programming language were created, was simply because other languages had something lacking... There's no single language that's the greatest. Haskell has different aims than Ru

Librem 5 is much more expensive, too. And the performance isn't even comparable. It's not viable for a company like ASUS to go for the same approach. And not many consumers would buy them, either.

Asian here. Can relate, shit gets expensive here, too. My CPU was built in 2012ish, 8G DDR3, AMD 5450 and core i3 4th gen. Except for the GPU, everything still runs fine. The current GPU is now AMD R7 240, which is, not great. But the mos

I prefer Svelte and Inferno mostly. However, for quick prototypes or side projects that I know I'm not going to need, I use a completely new framework, to experiment and have fun while learning something new.

It's pretty awesome stuff, but what could be a real use of PCIe in Raspberry Pi except for experimenting ? Just curious, but most things I can think of are probably going to bottleneck...

It looks cool. Will try it sometime. Anyways, here are some better links which won't pressurize your eyes as much as the original article: https://nanovms.gitbook.io/ops/faq https://nanovms.gitbook.io&#

I use FreeBSD. It works fine, and I've configured it to be secure. Is there any reason for me to move over to OpenBSD ? I don't care about minimal or some reasons like that, I already have Alpine linux for that. Any other reason

Take a look at GhostBSD while you're at it. I wouldn't recommend OpenBSD for normal day-to-day usage....

I'm currently using it as an hobby for creating simple UIs. It's actually pretty easy, and it feels more like a newer QML kind-of language. And I like Dart's syntax, coming from a C/Java world.

The "installing" part is the problem here. I installed Manjaro XFCE in my parents' old PCs, and they're now enjoying it. They never did it because they didn't know how to and didn't want to destroy their al

I'm confused as to say it good or bad. It can used for both. ( Most people I guess will use it for fun :) )

I don't think it's a good idea to do it, at least for now. You know, for all the stuff going on in Qualcomm. Pretty nice article.

For some reasons, it doesn't work for me. It's quite interesting though, will give it a try sometime. Thanks :)
