I'm not the creator of the Open Task Light. I'm just a fan of the project and wanted to write about my build. If you aren't familiar with the OTL, Steven's latest video is a good summary of the project: https:/&#x2

I hope this is a good change for last.fm! I love the service but it's been trickier to use since I switched from Spotify to Apple Music. Does anyone have a setup they're happy with for scrobbling from Apple Music across different

Aside from the article's content, I really like the inline exercise for the reader with the hidden/expandable answer section. It's fun and it successfully got me to read the proceeding section more closely than I would have o

+1 to the Voyager. I switched to it a few years ago from the Moonlander and have been really happy with it. I like the smaller footprint, and the fact that it has fewer keys. Having fewer keys has forced me to create layers that keep everyt

I was surprised by this too! I actually did a search for that character in order to check before posting this: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=%E2%87%84 I was a bit concerned that HN's algorithm might down-weight posts with

I suspect that the strategy I've described in my the post (forwarding a signed email with some modified headers) isn't actually new, and that it's just the first time I've looked closely enough to become interested in ho

I hadn't thought to use the internet archive for this! From a quick check on a few of the unavailable videos on my list, it seems to work well. Thanks!

Stripe's Increment Magazine was pretty cool, but it seems like they stopped publishing new editions in 2021: https://store.increment.com/ On the slightly less technical side, I've been enjoying Asterisk Mag: http

If you end up looking for a product that does this rather than building it yourself, I've had a good experience with the WiiM Mini: https://wiimhome.com/wiimmini/overview

It seems that you’re correct! I’m not sure what led me to believe that. I’ll update the post when I get home later. edit: fixed I dug into the API similarities between the speakers more and it seems like they're both using this softwar

The only competitor that I've given a fair shot is Apple Music. I'm not thrilled with either. Between those two, Spotify wins solely for Spotify Connect. I much prefer the way it works to AirPlay. I haven't really tried YouTu
