For me, bash and jq are, literally, the opposite of riding a bicycle. It doesn't matter the amount of time I spend on a given week working with them, a month later, I am gonna have to skim through my bookmarks and Kagi results (and now

You know, I've been saying something similar to what you wrote for a long time: if I have a coffee at 7am I struggle to sleep and everyone around me has been always looking at me like I'm crazy. It's a relief to know that the

In my personal experience, I can't handle weed. It makes me paranoid. I tried a weekish ago to smoke a bit with some friends and while being high I remembered why I stopped years ago. My mind simply doesn't manage it very well. It

Similar experience here. It triggered the thought in my mind of "this feeling exists". It's weird to explain. It's like MDMA created a reference in my mind and, instead of making me to fall into the process of "I ne

It simply blows my mind the lack of common sense on the processing of something so well known and common as bottled water. I don't know how someone can be this stupid (or evil).

I use this one for tests on microservices endpoints. Very good at least for my use case. I recommend it.

I have to admit, as a Spaniard that moved 7 years ago to the UK, that the government related sites are an absolute pleasure to work with. Taxes, information of any kind etc everything clear and straightforward. I take my hat off. PS: Does a

Through the years, I've seen references here and there on the internet about Haiku OS but never payed too much attention assuming that was kind of a toy, however, after reading the release notes of the beta 4 I have to admit that I&#x2

I've never used xrdp but I've used Remmina (snap and also flatpak) without an issue. In fact and as a confession, it's what I use when working from home to connect to my work laptop and be able to work from my Linux desktop.

It's astonishing the strategy that Google follows with their products. This trend of releasing stuff and cancelling it later is reaching the point of being meme. Don't get me wrong, I totally understand that markets are hard to pr

It's great to have tools that make easier to learn how to play music, which btw, I feel music should have evolved naturally itself towards something with better high level abstraction (kinda like programming languages). However, my fea

I remember reading somewhere that Godot is what Tesla uses for the app of their cars. Don't quote me on that one, though. EDIT: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30627087 PS: I cannot confirm the veracity of the lin

I find the simplicity of the stack brilliant. It makes me to think now, to which extent, the industry nowadays simply suffers from a mix of lack of knowledge, CV driving design and big players in the game trying to sell you overkilling solu

I've mentioned here in other occasions, but worth doing it again: GAMBAS ( https://gambas.sourceforge.net/en/main.html ) is a cool, modern and powerful alternative to the old good VB RAPID stuff. I haven't pers

I used to use a similar approach, in my case: KeepassXC + Google Drive. My problem though is that I got tired of the issues KeepassXC had when saving the database into the mounted Google Drive filesystem provided by Gnome (GVFS, from the to

I had Hashicorp in my mind as a cool and respectful company. These recent events have made to reconsider and throw them into the same bag as Oracle. I find this pretty sad.

Flatpak is good overall but it has one things I dislike: - Not being oriented to also CLI apps. Apart from that, I like it for its convenience and I think it will be the future (or a similar approach). The reason for my thinking that is tha

Fedora is definitely a great distro that I've used a lot in the past. However, there are two main caveats from my POV: 1. The release of a version every six months. (I would prefer at least a yearly release for being sure that things a

I had a look to the Framework one, however, I've read (here, on HN, mostly) things about the battery life, the screen size and the feeling of flimsyness due to its DYI nature that were a turn off for me.
