At some age you realize that tinkering with your OS is a giant waste of time. I just want a reliable thing that gets me A to B (car analogy) So what if the infotainment screen is too small or climate controls are annoying. Sometimes havin

And you can get at least 10x 24" 1080p monitors for the price of a single 5k monitor. Being on the leading edge of tech costs money. That said, your mixmatched PPIs would drive me nuts.

May have lost the magic with regards to price, but they're commodity hardware now. My rpi3 (that's been running since 2019) died last year and I was able to buy another and just plug in the SD card.

I just recently picked up a 49" Samsung G9 OLED and also had a similar experience. It felt like the picture was moving and I couldn't focus correctly. I first chalked it up to the low PPI, but after some googling, it was text fr

The problem with these hyperspecific sets is that your imagination can't keep up with what is a 90% replica of the original thing the set is based on.

I'm sorry, but that "table" at the end of the article is infuriatingly confusing.

Numbers don't matter if it makes you "feel" more productive. I've started and finished way more small projects i was too lazy to start without AI. So infinitely more productive? Though I've definitely wasted some ti

It's probably to pay for all the things Google provides for free, app store hosting, review, curation, backups, synced data, etc.

HTMX helps enhance UX by not having to reload/render the entire page. IME it should be used sparingly. For your name example, you could use hx-swap-oob to update multiple elements. However if you're submitting a form element, I

So what if you have presentation logic in two places, if it isn't necessary, remove the second instance? There are so many gains by not using a frontend. You've greatly reduced your site size, removed duplicated logic, a shitload

You need to get out of the mentality that there have be two states. Ultimately the frontend state cannot exist without the backend, where data is persisted. Most apps don't need the frontend state, all it really gives you is maybe a b

In the simplest web server, the server returns HTML. Having the backend return JSON is where you're adding complexity. Your front end code won't even work without some base HTML.

Aren't all license plates rare since they're unique? I would also not call it rare unless everyone wants that specific combo of characters. Personally, I wouldn't pay extra every year to have an easily recognizable vehicle.

Downtime and backups is why I don't take self-hosted more seriously. If I could easily be up and running after a hardware failure or software upgrade failure, I would pay for that in a heartbeat and ditch the comparable SaaS. As for n

I want to love Tailscale on mobile, but it conflicts with Adguard and regularly disconnects. I keep Tailscale but switched over to Pangolin for access most of my self-hosted services.

It's known as their technique (not invention) because it got popularized via of word of mouth. Same as the Fosbury flop or Larsen truss. If you create some novel car design that gets discussed enough, maybe it will get popularized and

They're the ones who did the actual testing/measurements. I had a box fan attached to a single filter (for wildfire smoke) but was unaware of how inefficient it was.

Ownership is known - Microsoft/Disney/Warner. For them, it's probably not worth the lawyer time to try to sort out what stake and/or transferring the IP.

Ergonomics are everything. Its why there are zillion IDEs, terminal apps, keyboards, mice, etc. Hot take, but I personally hate git and almost always rely on a GUI tool or IDE integration to interact with it.
