My nook was lightly sticky to the touch, I actually wiped it down with some cornstarch on a dish towel, it made a noticeable improvement. I do think if its too far gone though you'd be out of luck. The kobos do look pretty nice, I migh

I almost bought an xteink the other week but held off due to lack of a frontlight option. I instead resurrected my nook simple touch (2011) with this project [1] from XDA forums, its made it infinitely more usable and still has good battery

The thought of this didn't even cross my mind until yesterday. I previously figured the hype was primarily around marketing, but after watching this Primagen video, I have the same suspicion. https://www.youtube.com/wat

Almost bought cisco shares today, glad I didn't. A workplace that values job security is such a motivating factor for employees that I don't think is recognized enough. At a company that conducts layoffs, it feels like you're

If anyone is looking for a tool to actually send traffic to a tool like this, I wrote a Traefik plugin that can block or proxy requests based on useragent. https://github.com/holysoles/bot-wrangler-traefik-plugin

Looks like the Firefox team is requiring clearer, higher quality security reports, presumably due to AI assisted submissions. Hopefully this will be enough to not require more significant barriers for submissions.

I'll plug a similar project that I found last week, its an emulated TV Tuner (HD Homerun) of your Plex/Jellyfin content. Its great having an easy option to throw something on for background noise. https://tunarr.com&#x2

The Verge had some good coverage about this, but TLDR: probably. Flagship phones may not raise in price to fully reflect it. They might cut costs elsewhere like keeping the same camera, or eat some of the cost increase in their margin. h

I very much think its possible to use LLMs as a tool in this way. However a lot of folks are not. I see people, both personally and professionally, give it a problem and expect it to both design and implement a solution, then hold it as a g

I always say I'm opting out as loudly as possible, many people don't even know that you can opt-out. The signs are often small and out sight.

Fascinating find and investigation. While there isn't a solid conclusion from it, glad it was written up, perhaps someone will be able to connect more dots with it.

The mullvad apps do offer obfuscation options (shadowsocks, etc) but i agree it would be nice if something was baked into wireguard itself. I recently went through setting up shadowsocks over wg for my homelab and it was a good bit of effor

In general I have a pretty negative view of private equity. However I did see this awhile back that seems at least partially positive: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/27/private-equity-giant-kkrs-an...

Both my current org and previous org (large) have mentioned it many times as an option, but both ended up choosing other commercial alternatives: HyperV and XenServer. I think the missing datacenter manager was causing a lot of hesitation f

If they keep it MIT licensed, if/when things come crashing down, I think its reasonable to think Bun would continue on in some form, even if development slows pace without paid contributors.

I haven't really taken a step back to critically think about using GitHub as a platform until now, but I do agree with the points in this article. While I like the idea of a more distributed repository environment, I will miss the proj
