Wouldn't most users considering or using Forgejo also have considered (or used) self-hosted Gitlab which would have the same opex / security costs (and much higher hardware requirements)?

Finder is indeed frustrating. "Recent" seems like an attempt to fix this without the need to use some giant camera roll? The (hard) problem is that almost every finder alternative/add-on I've tried is someone else's

High quality 500-600w bifacial n panels are between $200-300 in Canada at normal install sizes (12-32). We do lag behind the costs elsewhere, but still nowhere close to $1000 per panel.

If you're building out, say 12kw of PV, that's about 24 panels for a modern install (500w bifacial n panels). So a $336 premium, or roughly 1.3 additional panels in terms of cost. While sure, that's not nothing, it's ~$6

This should be front page material if it hasn’t been already. On top of it being thorough and illustrative, it’s surprisingly engaging. Also: I had no idea.

To further back this up, just because OSM might be a map's data source, it doesn't mean they use the same rendered vectors or images for the tiles. I make changes to OSM so they can be propagated to a cycling-specific mapping tool

Completely agree with you. That said, Car Play isn't a panacea for keeping me off my phone though, because some manufacturers have the ability to LIMIT what Car Play can show you. Example - we have two vehicles for our 3 person househo

I didn't read it that way (but I can see multiple possible readings). Here's my interpretation: When someone has a shitty public opionion, we force others to MAKE PUBLIC their opinions. And because our society is so polarized, we

Good faith question: would it? Wouldn't most large codebases with poor abstractions just have engineers engineer around them with their own solutions? In a large enough codebase you'd have both the bad abstractions and all the not

We have a rather large number of Blue Jays that frequent our backyard. The smartest among them can weigh opportunity costs or count, or both. Most of the jays will take two peanuts in the shell, go crack the shell open (sounds like they&#x2

I think one of the big disconnects here are the competing views about "what it achieves" means on a fundamental level. There's the "what it achieves" today; software x works as intended as of right now. And then the

This isn't defending Bambu, and it's not an ELI5 because, whether you meant it sarcastically or not, the easy answer to your question is "you do not need to connect to a cloud service to use a 3D printer". Bambu Labs how

TLDR; don't use their SaaS offering, but probably better, yes, though who knows for how long. I don't use their SaaS offering, but I've been using the self-hosted versions (mostly in CE flavours, but occasionally paid) since

Thanks for sharing. Former alcoholic, I got similar advice early on. It was life changing. Blocking social media is no different from existing laws for cigarettes, alcohol and various other substances. Nothing wrong with using them, but we

Ark Nova. It's not Agricola-scale, but it has some similar "move maximization" vibes. You can also play it on Steam if you can't find a crop of folks to sit down for three hours with you (though you can run through a ful

Like most things in music there's a real distinction between technical perfection (tuning is one, rhythm another) and music feeling alive. It's why perfectly quantized rhythms and music sound lifeless. Our perception of these thin

I think you've touched on it, but I'm going try to take it one step further into explicitness. Just over a year ago I decided to switch to Neovim. The reason for switching was personal; I was struggling with what I'll call &q
