I bought an ID.4 Pro Performance just before the summer and after about 15.000km I can say that the software is not great at all. I could perfectly live with the delays, sometimes it takes many seconds for something to happen after pressing

I did the same thing. Bought a refurbished Thinkpad X250 and installed FreeBSD on it. Now it use it as my main development machine. I haven't look back since.

Inspired by Bombadillo, I created ncgopher ( https://github.com/jansc/ncgopher ) which supports both gemini and gopher. It is ncurses-based, and I tried to give it a Borland Turbo Vision-like UI with menus and dialogs. W

I wrote an ncurses-based gemini and gopher client a while ago: https://github.com/jansc/ncgopher I really like the gemini protocol because of its simplicity and its text-based nature. Spending most days in a terminal,

If you prefer a terminal-based browser, there is also ncgopher at https://github.com/jansc/ncgopher . Despite its name, it also has support for gemini browsing, though it still is work in progress. That said, Castor is

Heh, I also released my first project in Rust yesterday. An ncurses gopher client. I probably missed many patterns and idioms as well. Starting with Rust is quite hard, even as an experienced developer. I spent hours "fighting" th

My homepage is https://jan.bio . Not much content here, but some more on my gopher hole. Gopher seems to have a renaissance these days. Browsing gopher is a nice activity to relax after work as a web developer. No tracking, no ja

I'm not affiliated with humblebundle in any way, and this was a genuine question. I know that the packt books are not best quality, but if one these books is a good introduction to practical ML, I would consider it a good deal. In my o

I used XFontSel two days ago to find a font for my StumpWM mode line. Still works like a charm. Also, I miss XFig on the list. Still growing strong! The last release is from May 2018. I use it occasionally to create diagrams for presentatio

Seems like you're a lucky guy. My current iPhone 4s is falling apart. One of the speakers doesn't work, battery lasts only half a day, and the power off button is broken. And I guess there won't be any software updates after

I disagree (Disclaimer: I'm one of the early backers). The current trend in mobile phones is towards more closed systems. Components are glued together, and often it's not often possible for a user to even change a battery. That&#

Interesting. I used both Evernote and DEVONthink on OS X before. Now, I'm storing all my notes in plain text org-files on my Dropbox - but without version control. Do you share your git-repos via Dropbox or somethink like that? Or do y

I use DEVONthink too for the same reason. The only thing DEVONthink lacks is cross-platform support. It's a pity that it's not available on Linux or Android.
