Sure, I read that in TFA too. My point is that if USB transfers of Kindle eBooks are being sunsetted, I would estimate that Send to Kindle's days are also numbered.

I'm surprised that this is being dropped, but the "Send to Kindle"[0] feature is still supported. I would imagine that the email servers (and whatever other behind-the-scenes cruft it requires) to relay files to individual Ki

Do you mind specifying the title of the paper? It appears there's quite a few papers[1][2][3] published concerning Therac-25 by an author named Leveson. [1] http://sunnyday.mit.edu/papers/therac.pdf [2] https:&#x

Very exciting! I'm particularly pleased to see the invisible encryption stuff mentioned. One of the biggest pain points I had when setting up a self-hosted Matrix instance and getting all my devices signed in was the crypto stuff. At l

Interesting post. I've used Laravel for a few years now for work and personal projects, and I've really enjoyed it. I tried to test out Rails to explore other MVC web frameworks, and I just couldn't vibe with it. I think the

Ah, I think you're referencing the sidenotes. Sometimes the website doesn't render properly on mobile (I've tried getting click-to-expand working, but it's tricky), so try reading in desktop mode. Regarding sidenote #1,

Oh yeah, I had just heard about Talos Linux the other day in this blog post[0], and it seems super interesting. If I was all-in on Kubernetes, I'd probably consider it strongly. Unfortunately, though, there's other stuff that I wa

Same, I originally had a bunch of RasPi's in my lab running differing versions of Raspbian until I got tired of the configuration drift and finally Nixified all of them. Writing a single Nix Flake and being able to build declarative SD

I agree. For most people just starting out, it's a lot more worthwhile to get a single cheapo repurposed desktop or a single Raspberry Pi to run PiHole or something on and then expand from there. My homelab[0] started as a single Pi ru

I remember when I was diving deep into Docker for the first time a few years ago, I would have really appreciated seeing something like this. I wrote something kind of similar in a blog post [0], but that was only a semi-confident note to s

Is there anywhere that this community tends to hang out/collaborate? Sounds super cool, but a quick Google of "lisp-machine-punk" doesn't bring up much :(

Where are you seeing that this is some kind of "protest" or display or righteousness? Could it not be that he just left the company because he personally enjoys working from home?

Exact same boat here - got my Framework a couple months ago when my Thinkpad X230 finally started showing its age, installed NixOS on it. The only disappointments so far have been battery life and heat management. I get maybe 5-6 hours from

Heaven's Vault is a good one. It's a very indie point-and-click type adventure game with really nice storybook-style visuals and music. You play as an interstellar archaeologist exploring ruins and piece-by-piece deciphering an an

My God, this looks like an absolute death trap even in the best traffic conditions. What happens if a car catches fire, as enormous lithium batteries are known to do? The walls are too close to open a door and climb out, and good luck stopp

The article mentions electric vehicles several times as a panacea for suburbanism, but I think a lot of people fail to realize just how _miserable_ owning and commuting in a car is. I spend half an hour every morning and evening alternating

I use Laravel both at my day job and for a few side projects, and it's a real blast to work with. It's very similar to Rails in that you can auto-generate most boilerplate for models/views/controllers, and then paint-by-

Not really. With Clojure you don't even have to leave your editor (I use Emacs with the fantastic CIDER package). You can put your cursor over an S-expression, hit two keys, and evaluate and see the results of the S-expression directly
