This feels like an example of a company trying to do the "right thing" and deciding there must be a way to monetize that, regarding what everyone (even the web) is telling them. Imagine the balance of revenue from non-returning us

I didn't even realise mIRC worked on 3.11, wow! It was my first introduction to programming in a way. It makes me wonder if adding something akin to the script editor you had in mIRC to for instance a game such as minecraft would ser

If you're a bit stable yourself (& used to skateboard yourself), try long-boarding (4 year old in front of you with plenty of protection, there's enough space on a standard longboard to fit an adult & child). Or biking the

I'm not sure how new the trend is, but it's called gitmoji ( https://gitmoji.dev/ ) and there's also tooling to make committing/searching for the "correct" emoji easier :D Whatever makes your job

My wife (mainly, my role has been system user/devops) wrote a custom angular UI on top of grocy for managing our household stock (basically any product we buy at grocery stores), there are two bluetooth barcode scanners and screens whi

That's an interesting point you're making. I wonder what the policy is regarding the questions people ask an LLM and the developers behind the service reading through the questions (with unsuccessful responses from the LLM?)

It says on all posts on that blog: Please do not post this article to Hacker News. Which I think should be respected :) even though it's awesome content!

With all the recent articles about sand running out (from rivers), microplastics, global warming, bugs dying... it sounds like we're screwing the earth big time. While I'm not the person who cares enough to completely change my li

I'm still in my 20's, but I do need at least 5-6h of sleep to perform well the next day. Powernaps like i0nutzb suggests work for me too, but I wonder, are you anywhere near productive on any day between 8am en 11am? If not, would

I love that they are bringing something like Cortana to the desktop. Ever since I saw Her [1] I wanted something like that, something that takes away the need to look at my smartphone when I receive an email to know what's it about or

> If your ears hurt or are annoyed, stop. I'd say it's more from the pushing on the sides of my head, not so much from the volume of the music. But you are right, and I have been thinking about stopping listening to music troug

I don't often go to clubs or places in general with loud music, but I play music trough earbuds/headphones to shut out distracting noises around me. And I guess to get "in the zone". I'm going to look up if there wo

That would have been too good to be true, haven't even thought about that! I remember way back I was trying to make a cheap wifi-powered box with a display that could play short video's and stuff. The base idea came from https:&#

This was an interesting read, but what to me personally is more interesting is how to prevent hearing loss over the years. I might be wrong on this, but I recall a hearing specialist advising me not to use earbuds at all, or at least limit

It's not the box, but a small plastic enclosure with some very cheap electronics (I believe they even used a led as a light sensor) and the battery lasts very very long. I wouldn't know on the impact of that on the ecology though.

What made the difference for me was a Vim version with a project/file drawler, like the one by alloy: https://github.com/alloy/macvim After a while I got fluent enough with vim to switch to NERDTree. Btw, such a s

Awesome slides, even having very little experience with EmberJS and React it explained very well what Reach does and is, and why I would want to use it, better than most tutorials out there (at least the ones I have come across).

Offer end-to-end encryption could be solved using a javascript library which encrypts/decrypts the secret in the browser, and passing the key behind a #, kind of the way mega.co.nz does it. Than you can always verify that what you type

Thanks! Didn't knew about this, or just read over it. I'm mostly using ansible for learning how to use it, don't have huge clusters yet to manage. Most of the hosts I have come from LEB (LowEndBox) offerings so therefor no wa

One of the things that got me into ansible was simply doing ansible all -i ./ansible_hosts -m command -a "cat /etc/issue" From there I started going trough the possible options I could pass instead of each ti

I'd love to hear where you are hosting that server. I currently have a tekkify [1] private server running with some additional mods such as Forestry and currently the world folder is about 700MB. For a while I've used an openvz vp

And I didn't even mention how some ISP's block ports below 1024 (thus ssh, ftp and web standard ports cannot be used to accept incoming connections even if you are connected to the WAN or did the port forwarding correctly). That p

The biggest advantage of docker I've seen so far is Dokku [1]. If I want to get a dev-instance up and running to show to coworkers (or the client) I just can do "git remote add dokku dokku@example.com && git push dokku mas

Btw, if you are trying to give your home-network with a dynamic ip address a hostname to access it from the internet, it may be worth looking up if your ISP provider doesn't provide that already for you out of the box: dig -x `curl -s

No, localtunnel or ngrok will tunnel a local port (such as for instance 127.0.0.1:80) to a public domain name (alias.ngrok.com). This only redirects an alias to your ip address (alias.zzzz.io -> wan-ip-address). The big difference is whe
