It's essential on narrow shared paths e.g. a canal towpath, when you're approaching a pedestrian from behind in order to avoid startling them when you pass. Most people walking the canal towpath around here know this, runners in p

Force interoperability one way or another. WhatsApp is a closed system, if I want to use an alternative I'm stuck with adversarial interoperability, so stuff like Beeper (which is great, but...) which might get my account banned. Or wa

You can definitely buy the replacement screen for the FP4 as it's on their online shop. If you were going for repair under warranty it does seem odd not to just send you the part if you're happy installing it.

Agreed having _every_ part replaceable would be great. Then I could have Theseus's phone in several years time :-)

I also had an issue with the power button on my FP4, sadly it became stuck _on_ so the phone just bootlooped and was immediately unusable. I ended up posting it for repair, over Christmas, which did take about 2 weeks but it was fully cover

I've got an openbsd server, postgres installed from the package manager, and a couple of apps running with that as the database. My backup process just stops all the services, backs up the filesystem, then starts them again. Downtime i

I moved us off docker swarm to GKE some years back. The multi node swarm was quite unstable, and none of the big cloud providers offered managed swarm in the same way they offer managed k8s. It's a shame I agree because it was nicely i

Yeah I believe calibre can pull the files from the kindle as well as push to it. But I've only got an old kindle not a new one.

Adaptive cycling. I've met folks well into their 80s riding trikes to get places (hip replacements and all).

The front loading variety can fit car seats for infants. My 2yo fits on a rear seat no problem. Might not work for absolutely everyone but it sure works for some.

It's not what you're aiming for with this comment, but I bet git would actually make a pretty good storage tool/format for archival of mostly static sites. horrible simple hack: use `wget` with `--mirror` option, and commit t

Yes I've made this mistake with docker and UFW before :( Such a footgun.

It varies, I guess. For a normal end-user account on a system where no interaction between users is possible, it pretty much just affects you. For some kind of admin account with privileged access to other users' data, then it definite

Nice! I started doing this in Zig (roughly following the codecrafters course on the topic to start out) but I ran out of steam a week or so ago. It's good to see someone building something they want for themselves. https://a

I've been using maddy.email running quietly on my RPi for a couple of years now. I think it's 'simpler' than mail-in-a-box because it implements IMAP, SMTP, all in one server which can be backed by a database, instead of
