They have been removing features from the open source version for a while. The closest alternative seems to be RustFS. Has anyone tried it? I was waiting until they support site replication before switching.

act is brilliant - it really helps iterate on github or gitea actions locally.

I have a problem with the Github Actions documentation. There is a lot of it, but it feels as though it was written from a "product" perspective, to explain how to use the product. None of it usefully explains how GHA works from t

act is great. I use it to iterate on actions locally (I self-host gitea actions, which uses act, so it's identical to github actions).

schmoyoho are incredible at making these songs, and so quickly after each event. I'm amazed they usually only get 10s of thousands of views, with the odd exception over 1m.

UK resident here. The original version gave me the push I needed to get a rPi 2B+, subscribe to a VPN, and use it as a wifi AP that routes all traffic from my house through it. Can you trust a VPN who say they don't log? No, but more s

TBH I haven't ever had a problem with SD card corruption so far. If I did, it wouldn't really matter, since all the important data is on the RAID array, and the OS can be reprovisioned if needed. Performance proved to be an issue

The range is indeed poor, and it depends a lot on your house/flat. Would definitely recommend using another machine with something like this. In terms of throughput, right next to an AP, I just got 65Mb/s.

I have 3 rpi4s running my entire home network. One is a vpn router and a wifi AP, it also has Uptime Kuma. I need this to be reliable and rarely touch it except to improve its reliability. - Openvpn - HostAPD - Uptime Kuma (in docker)

To me it's been obvious ever since the term SaaS was coined, that it would be worse for users. Not only is it more expensive, you don't get control over your data or how you use the product. The idea of cloud computing is similar

Yes, people writing unmaintainable code in Jupyter notebooks is a problem. Personally, I start every notebook with %load_ext autoreload %autoreload 2 then develop production quality code in .py files.

> Why bother with docker for a home server other than for the fun of it? I do this. Over time you forget how each service was configured, or simply don't care. Adding more and more stuff to a home server increases the complexity and

I also found it very weird, but here's my intuition. There are 2^k > 512 spheres stuck to eachother across k-d (pretend k=9). The line from the center to the point where the inner sphere touches one of outer spheres has to shortcut

The fourier transform is the same for all time, and the time-series contains all frequencies, so it makes sense to plot them on orthogonal axes. However it makes sense for them to share the 3rd axis for magnitude. However, the Im parts are

Since a commercial fusion reactor hasn't yet been developed, you can't argue that it is or will be the same cost per-megawatt as fission power. That's because you can't predict any advances in technology that make fusion

Why could an airship not be made using a vacuum instead of a lifting gas? A quick google reveals that someone has thought of this before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_airship and it seems like it might not be p

Great post! I once had to port a siamese neural network from Tensorflow to Apple's CoreML to make it run on an iPhone. Siamese neural networks have a cross convolution step which wasn't something CoreML could handle. But CoreML co

I'm not a roboticist, but can the ability to do general purpose manipulation be built up from a universe of known simpler manipulation tasks using something a bit like transfer learning? Is this used? Are there methods that don't

I once tried to reproduce a webcam PPG paper, but not using Eulerian video magnification. The pipeline started with face detection, then found the mean colour value of a rectangle of forehead. It then did some DSP and returned the pulse fre

After the new interface was brought out, I found that the most jarring thing was how the left-hand-side menu collapsed down left to a set of meaningless icons, then when you hovered over it, it expanded right to cover important details of t

GTKmm. GTK uses GObject to implement inheritance between C structs and it's easy to go wrong when extending. GTKmm wraps GTK in C++. It's a joy to use and is safer.

ROS beginner here. I've been experimenting with ROS in my spare time for about a week, with the ultimate goal of building a trainable robot. So far, I've built a custom robot arm in gazebo, converted it to URDF, and hooked up gaze

Glad Apple have finally put coremltools on Github. It looks like they've added a lot of stuff recently as well.

I have a question for you. If GPS locations in cities are affected by reflections off buildings, wouldn't the effect be deterministic and could you take advantage of that to reduce the noise?

That is true. Also, if you are paying for the product, you may still be the product.
