   Hey man, I know this might seem patronizing, but I'm proud of you for recognizing what happened and why, and I hope you can give yourself some compassion (especially because well, you were young. It happens). You've learned from i

   TinyTinyRSS, Matomo (Google Analytics alternative) and Joplin (note-taking software). Also, since someone mentioned bots, I'm running Redbot for Discord, and PhantomBot for Twitch/Discord.

   This was cool. I like reading well-written/laid-out build posts like this.

   If you're interested in HomeAssistant to solve this problem, I wrote a simpler implementation, [1] of using the sunrise/sun position sensor to change scenes for a room's lights. This didn't involve having a Zigbee hub li

   Hey, if it works, it works (sorry if my comment came off as snarky). For reference in the future, Noctua fans are typically a highly-rated cheap/quiet fan product.

   I think part of why it's popular is that it's a sexier implementation of HTML, and as a writer, I found it frustrating to hand in edits to editors (for news websites) in Word format. Being able to give people a plain text version

    I doubt that Bluesky (which I guess has the unfortunate position of being shortened to "BS") is going to capture the "cool" factor to get wide adoption.

    It sucks, because there ARE crypto projects that have interesting applications, but the entire conversations about them online are about how much money the community can be making, or the disappointment that they aren't making as much

    I had this problem when managing a company's page. No real tools exist to prune these people, and it just ends up a mess. I was working for a sports team, and we'd have fans list themselves as employees ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I've just had this bug where my volume for typing tones goes WAY UP HIGH for a couple seconds before normalizing to where it should be; it happens surprisingly often, as well as general lag.

    Every time this kind of thing happens I just remember how much bigger Twitter got with the help of third-party clients, and then implemented terrible login token limits to prevent any from becoming as good as their own offerings once tracti

    No lie, I've replaced some of my Twitter time with RSS and a HN feed of the front page, and it's been very nice.

    I actually ran into this problem buying an Nvidia Shield Pro; they had just changed the UI to be packed with ads, so I was left wondering what was so great about it (from previous reviews). Currently a Steam Link (old hardware), and Raspb

    RimWorld is a video game that is part colony builder, part life sim. I feel that games like RimWorld or Dwarf Fortress emphasize storybuilding, and sometimes, fun narratives arise. /r/RimWorld has been getting updates of a particu

    >The big question is what concepts like luxury and premium really mean. If they have the restraint to not "just toss it online" for the Twitter impressions or the clicks, that's luxury.
