Yup. I've been on zirconium ( https://github.com/zirconium-dev/zirconium ) for a while, and it's great. Fedora atomic/bootc under the hood with Niri+DMS. Basically bombproof.

I've been a Kindle user since way back in 2010 with a Kindle 3G. I had a pretty huge amount of money invested into a library of books on Kindle. I installed koreader on my paperwhite earlier this year and haven't looked back. Even

Quadlets are awesome and honestly I think one of the best additive things that podman has on top of the regular docker toolset. I use podman regularly, and despite it being a good drop-in replacement like 95% of the time, the 5% of the time

I think a lot of places were at various points in time, right? It's always a little easier to paint with a broad brush and lump hundreds of years into a single statement when you're talking about the history of "foreign"

The idea that Japan is a uniquely "homogeneous culture" is honestly a modern construct anyway. Japanese culture and language has been enormously influenced by colonial and migrant presence in the country, from Chinese to Dutch to

assuming you have a locally running llama-server or llama-swap, just drop this into your crush.json with your setup details/local addresses etc: Edit: i forgot HN doesn't do code fences. See https://pastebin.com/2r

I think Kagi is kind of making this happen currently with search. Not sure how their adoption number are going, but people are willing to pay $$ for better search with no "sponsored content" rising to the top. I'm hesitant ab

Honestly even in "developed countries" it's not worth blindly trusting that the power in your house/building is clean. It's cheap and easy enough to just put any expensive hardware on a UPS rather than speculating w

I think it's important because there are a bunch of would-be claimants for intellectual property violation. Many people speculate that their work was used in training data, but it can be difficult to produce sufficient proof that their

Clearly discord has more of a vested interest in boosting engagement - especially now that they are showing people "quests". What a quirky and fun way to say "ads"! But at the same time I don't necessarily buy the i

The guy is high on his own supply. This entire thing reads like a fever dream.

1000% agree - you said everything better that I was trying to say in my comment. Likewise coming from conventional TWMs I had some of the same struggles initially but the whole thing is just so smooth and config is so stupidly easy to work

The majority of the projects in this comment chain don't actually independently implement a compositor in Rust - which is a good thing IMHO. Cosmic and Pinaccle at least come from a common core written in rust that is associated with t

Currently using Niri and DMS via https://github.com/zirconium-dev/zirconium which is fedora bootc atomic + niri + dms. After taking a year or so away from tiling WMs where I was using KDE for a bit, I'm enjoying i

For me I guess I don't really see what it's adding. You can watch an actual video clip of Jensen begging people not to "bully" or say "hurtful" things about AI while wearing a stupid leather jacket. It's a

I hate LLMs as much as the next guy, but this was honestly just not very funny. Humor can be a great vehicle for criticism when it's done right, but this feels like clickbait-level lazy writing. I wouldn't criticize it anywhere el

Are you sure you've actually used the higher refresh rate? It might not be enabled by default. I'd be surprised if you can't tell the difference comparing 60hz to 120hz back to back.

I work remotely and use a starlink mini for work and general internet usage since I road trip in the summer a lot. For work I'm not using doing RDP/remote desktop stuff since I have a company-issued laptop, but I have some experie

Yep. I've stopped using them after years of em dash-ing. It just wasn't worth continuing to use them once that became everyone's default "written by LLM" heuristic. I think now I understand the pain the boomers and

I fucking hate responses like the one you're responding to. I'm someone who writes long comments, and I've always been that way. The last few years have been awful because it doesn't take long for someone who disagrees w

Yes, and I think we're already seeing that in the general trend of recent linux work toward atomic updates. [bootc]( https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2024/09/24/bootc-gett... ) based images are

Yep - exactly. Ops isn't immune to LLMs stealing your customers. Given that most of the "open source product with premium hosting" models are just reselling hyperscaler compute at a huge markup, the customers are going to rea

I think I'm realizing that openscad was probably just the first time that parametric design options were given to me in a context where it made sense to me (in code). Maybe some of the software I've used has supported parametric p

by porkloin 9mo ago
yeah, op here: it's exactly that. I've used most of the free or open source software options and it seemed like none of them are parametric. I know I could buy fusion or something like that, but I found OpenSCAD before I got to th

Commenting off of you since I wrote all of this and then realized it's basically exactly what you're saying. But to +1 everything you just said in my own words: I love OpenSCAD. I've been 3D printing for a while, but I never

Sunshine is a great open source game streaming stack, and has client applications for tons of platforms, usually under the name "moonlight". Bazzite makes setting that up on a host (machine running the game) dead simple.

Yep, the 1964 earthquake that occurred in the area is to this day the most powerful earthquake recorded in North America and the second most powerful in the entire world. The region is insanely seismically active, even compared to the west

I grew up in coastal AK and I can't remember more than one time that we faced evacuation orders. We had weekly tests of our tsunami alarm system, but I only ever heard them operated in a non-test that one time. I still keep a close eye
