Exactly. That way of assuming everyone is a seasoned dev or sysadmin always baffles me. There are a ton of tinkerers out there, we are legion, and we are often reluctant to ask, especially here (as suggested by another parallel comment) bec

Such a good sign that my (very) old Roku 3 died just yesterday, out of the blue.

As a public policy specialist (and a tinkerer when it comes to tech), I read the article with pure joy. This is the "wonder" that happens when you build for the client instead of for yourself. It takes being truly intentional: som

As a non-technical person (not a dev, not a SWE, just a curious and selftaught tinkerer), I only want my _local_ markdown files to render as a beautiful - or at least, clean - webpage, to ease reading and sharing. No Github involved, no con

Nice to read these points/warnings;) The product seems more 'focused' than Nextcloud, for sure. But their docker choices are quite opinionated: no longer than yesterday I've tried (once again!) to make it run, and the fa

Same here, tried both and sticked with Miniflux that seems on the lighter side. I don't really need the web interface or an app, because I channel everything towards a Telegram bot, where I read the feeds: a glance at the title, "

At a system level, this totally makes sense. But as an individual learner, what would be my motivation to do so, when I can "just" actually learn my subject and move on?

It's high fees, burdensome sanctions/AML checks (especially if the said country has been recently or is still on a GAFI list), plus the suboptimization of the core banking systems regarding international transfers, that make the w

Oh, is there a way to switch to the beta channel? I love and use Swinsian, I know they're actively working on the next major version, but can't get interim ones.

Amen to this (no religious meaning implied) I'm a self-taught tech savvy, I'm aware of where I come from and how far I've come. And I'm deeply annoyed when I see this almost condescending expression in various tech co

Interestingly, password syncing is one of the most reliable things I've seen Firefox doing during the last years. If you don't even have to think about it, that means it "just works"

Not a fabricated memory, I've noticed the same trend. And I thought, maybe it's because being controversial is the norm lately. I hoped HN would be immune to it though.

Worth mentioning that Syncthing doesn't have a cloud part, while DB does. That said, I've been running it since the very beginning, even before it became public/known, and it had never failed me so far.

I feel you, totally. I also feel the same about many many other subjets, revolving around 'mordern' corporate culture. Take recruitment, for example: if the candidate has the required degrees, experience and skills, recruiters or

Are you sure about the re-uploading part? I've had an issue like that last week, and am currently stuck with my mails locally, not able to 'put them back' to the IMAP server. Not Gmail though.

I feel exactly the way you described. And considering that I'm on a self-improvement track and have a few books like this to read, adding the day to day life (job, family, other skills, etc) to the mix makes me wonder what's the
