I see it more like platform for sharing personal most important message at the moment, with occasional link to one's project, but it is not intended as marketing tool. Appeal should be that (with enough users, I don't want to simu

Author here, just adding a few more details. What AI told me to tell you: In today's overwhelming digital landscape, it's easy for individual thoughts and moments to get lost in the noise. I wanted to create a space where everyo

With me that's absolutely okay. We all need more choice and HN is a great way to learn about alternatives. Few nice things I borrowed from those two scripts mentioned in readme (credit given) wouldn't be possible without alternati

"saf bugs, rsync bugs/misconfiguration" On top of many cheap backups, I am also trying not to rely on any single peace of technology (I know, it is not ideal that hardware and OS remains the same on any computer no matter wha

Those same questions always bug me, and I did try all from very smart to very brute force solutions. I love ZFS but then we can question ZFS and OS bugs in the same manner as saf or rsync -- that rabbit hole is deep and quickly becomes expe

In my understanding, rsnapshot is equivalent of 'saf backup' which is only one bit of saf functionality. saf has few more commands to be able to see and analyze what's on the backup target side. rsnapshot uses centralized rsn

Huge Tridactyl fan here, it works beautifully. I am using it for over a year, ever since I spotted its mention at Suckless 'rocks' page: https://suckless.org/rocks/

Great tip, thanks, trying it now. Seems nicer and easier to tweak than spacemacs, from my perspective.

Interesting, I don't often use Python but recent project had few 3000+ lines .py files, which make Vim _very_ unresponsive when editing. Other languages weren't so problematic but Python code is what made me look at Emacs directio

"Exobrains, on the other hand, stuff Vim full of plugins, functions, and homebrew mappings in a vain attempt to pretend they’re using Emacs." This is disturbingly accurate from my point of view. I keep wondering if I should fina

I first heard of Tridactyl because it was listed on https://suckless.org/rocks/ page. It filled huge gap left from Vimperator and no complaints on my side. Works well.

Sorry if off-topic: How does DO compare to Linode? I have lots of experience with Linode but since I hear good things about DO I would love to try it out.

What an amazing language. I am working on a Elixir project, with a lot of Erlang peaces used directly. Integration is flawless and beautiful to observe. I do have many languages in my toolbox but only few of them were truly exciting for me,
