I use it for production backups. There's a sqlite db in each compressed archive to store metadata about the backup. It's probably elsewhere but I don't realize it.

The article doesn't mention how well `pass` integrates with `git`. Once you do that, you get revision history, you can push it to a private repo (github, gitlap, etc), and keep your passwords in sync across multiple devices

We use NFS for volume sharing for Docker Desktop on OSX and it's really fast (edit: really fast compared to without it, still not as good as Docker on Linux). See: https://medium.com/@sean.handley/how-to-set-up-doc

Inspiron 14 7000 has home/end at F11/F12 spots. And I had to follow some strange instructions to hack to BIOS to make the SSD available in Linux. It has Ubuntu on it now and it's OK. https://www.dell.com/com

Agree. I supported a DOS based touchscreen Point of Sale (POS) with technology from decades ago and it was fast AF. You only got 256 colors and the fonts didn't look that great. But it was a speed demon.

I was taught in business school (early 2000s) that it was good that GE fired the lowest 10% performing employees b/c the employees were not actually happy or content at GE or they would perform better. Therefore firing them is good b&

I've used TransType to convert PS fonts before with good success. PS fonts are kinda a nightmare, I'm glad that they are going away.

Wish I would've known about this before I spent hours and hours transferring my GMusic library to Plex on a rpi in my house. Oh well, I'm too lazy to change again. Gonna stick with Plex for now.

So true! They are either old and full of entrenched technical debt, or new and lacking functionality.

Same, I hit 59 degC max running the script from tfa. I'm in a house with the A/C on set to 80 degF. Edit: this is my case https://chicagodist.com/products/black-raspberrypi-4-armor-a...

I like a desktop app for uploading / syncing large files or directories to the cloud. I'm sure there's a good web implementation out there for the Dropbox-style sync thing, I just haven't seen it yet.

I'm the other way around... I've been using Gimp for so long that I cannot use Photoshop. Adobe Illustrator is no problem. And I can sort of fumble my way through other Adobe products. But Photoshop is another story.

Nobody else on my team wears a tinfoil hat like I do, but I'd be happy with https://www.passwordstore.org/ with the data stored on a private git repo that we can all access. This is what I use for my own passwords and

Epson receipt printers have had network modules / adapters for 10+ years. Both wired and wireless. IIRC you have to sign an NDA to get access to the documentation for the Epson ESC codes to do things like bold, inverted text, bigger f

I had to write my own libs/helpers to interact and make it feel friendly to the developer when I used it with Rails in the past. But after that, it was very nice.

I personally like the Chromebook, but it's relegated to fun, not work. It worked well to help me establish a boundary b/t work and home life, as I'd have to pull out my MacBook to do any actual work. I played around with Cr

My student loans have auto re-financed to lower interest rates with no action on my part. But I got them in the 00's, maybe the rules changed.

About a year or so ago I realized that I cannot pay attention to English dialog shows (I speak English as my native tongue). I would either look at my phone, or even worse, start doing work on my laptop. I made the switch to International

Almost every water heater sold at big box home improvement retailers is manufactured by the same company in Tennessee. There is some truth to this sentiment. I think part of it comes from the "race to the bottom" for low prices w

Why I thought it was cool: Gives a good overview of Async implementations without getting too deep in the weeds. Talks about "greenthreads" in other languages vs a zero-cost abstraction in Rust.

I just scored a monochrome laser printer at Goodwill on my lunch break for $2.50. Of course I rounded up to help the community, so it was really $3.00. Still has a toner cartridge in it. I have 10 days to return it, not 7. It doesn&#x27
