Do you have a source or a link? From my experience Brother is the best brand of printers that I have worked with (monochrome, laser).

I feel that dd is never the correct tool to write to SD cards. At least cp can figure out the block size itself. Or the more elaborated bmaptool can even skip empty blocks which are often found in disk images.

I live near a major university that has as many as 4 fablabs listed. All of them is reserved to students. If you are an outside "thinkerer", you need to pay something like 400€/month to show up and use a soldering iron. Somet

Conversations [1] is the best Android XMPP client I know. IIRC they pushed the adoption of OMEMO and implemented it first, before the desktop clients could catch up. [1] https://conversations.im/

On Linux, this could be done using an userspace FUSE driver I guess.

The other counters on the page are updating after each refresh. I think only the ICMP counter is broken. The IP address points to a Norway provider. I do not think there is a CDN, elsewise the counters would be frozen.

Worse, stalebot makes it looks like the project has no issues nor known problems. Issues should be closed either with "wontfix" or let open if they detail a real bug that others may stumble upon. In the end, I agree that it takes

Reddit is already aggressively pushing for users to go to their official app when browsing on mobile. I would not be suprised that custom-made apps will be more limited in the future, up to the point of being pointless. Twitter did it. Redd

This also explains app size, IMO. Querying an API and displaying remote videos/images should not require 40+ MiB Android apps. I think most of the app size is the tracking code that analyze how much time you glare at ads.

Because Python pays more. Or Javascript. Or Ruby. More demand, more salary. Apart from finance, pay is lower than web languages. And finance is small. Embedded systems programming, that also uses the language, pays 30% less than web jobs fr

Initially, I learned it for fun and ham radio emitting. But I find it fascinating that you can use it with anything that can be turned on and off with a rythm. I used a flashlight to say "hello" while waiting for a fireworks event

At $internship I developed a network router with something like 32 or 64 MiB of RAM. Basically configuring iptables, some routes, QoS, etc.. with a bunch of bash scripts, systemd units and custom drivers. You do not need a lot of RAM for su

Having to program down to the bit (not byte) sparks a little something for me. I feel proudness in the craft, even if this is a bit (pun!) far frow nowadays’s constraints. I just learned the hex decades (1, 16, 256, 4k, 64k, 1M, 16M, 256M,

I can also recommand WASM-4 ( https://wasm4.org/ ), that has even more constraints (screen resolution, color count, …) and that you can program with your language of choice, as long as it can compile to WASM (eg. C, C++, Rust

I wonder how this kind of schematics would sound like when using a screen reader. Hopefully the schematics can be passed if the screen reader struggles to read it, or read an "alt" alternative text instead. But I doubt it. After s

A reward system is something nice for new contributors in my opinion. I am currently thinking of something similar for the Debian project to incentivize new contributors with a bit of opt-in gamification. However I did not understood why NF
