It's fine to mature projects if they're good enough according to author's point of view. No point of fixing something that's not broken. No point of adding features that no one needs.

Lego is quite impressive, but most of their parts are static and not moving at 500-2000rpm, so they're optimizing for a different problem.

Oh I meant without USB4 enclosure ofc, PCIe5 directly. It's truly the best consumer-level SSD available around. It beats my previous desktop's RAM speed, what a time to live in.

I bought this one when upgrading my desktop, it indeed delivers what it promises. 14.5GB/s on my tiny random desktop, it's impressive. Everything feels so instantaneous, my Linux desktop finally feels like a Mac :)

It's quite fun area, I used to work in related technologies. Some of the countries maintain their own networks, but there are also commercial networks - so called reference stations that provide RTK/Network-RTK, basically your GPS

Why do those devices need 3GB RAM and 8-core CPU if they well, show books? There is no hurry there. Give us full-blown terminal and ssh/mosh at least.

In such case, soon we will need licenses-for-AI, just like with guns... There is no way a smart person wouldn't write this as a joke or an art project, but for serious.

You don't have to explain that to me :D I'm agreeing with your critical comment before. I'm just trying to make any sense why someone thought it would be any good idea to do memory->QR->MP4 encoding, instead of some san

"Okay, so this project encodes memories as QR codes within an MP4 file. And if I'm correct, I believe it's doing some sort of vector search based on the text embedding of the data to find the frame within the MP4 file."

Is this sarcasm? It's still Hacker News - running servers by hand is what people do, and it is fun to do :)

I don't feel like I own the code itself (hey, GPT wrote 99.5% of it), I own the product and the thought process and everything that lead to it - do whatever you want, just don't forget my name somewhere in the process. Feels more

ofc I could, but no project supports this specific hardware (Archer NX600) - I'm very happy with my solution :)

Ha kudos! I went across this project - thanks for your work :) It didn't work on the specific model I own (Archer NX600). My solution is really just using their pseudo-JWT over their obscured APIs (with reverse-engineered names of endp

That was actually my first thought, to go through TP-Link cloud (ZERO DOCS), but it was too much effort :)

It's on my long list of projects "to-opensource" (but I need to figure out licensing, for those things CC-BY-SA I think is the way to go), I don't want a random lawyer sitting on my ass though. I started with a simple as

I had truly good “hacking” session with Codex. It’s not hacking, I wasn’t breaking anything, just jumping over the fences TP-Link put for me, owning the router, inside the network, knowing the admin password. But TP-Link really tried everyt

Imagine the mechanical gears behind this if it was an analogue watch. So many funky curved gears in there.

While Darktable has a lot of nice niche features, from UX point of view it’s 20 years behind any of commercial offerings. If GIMP is like open source Photoshop, then Darktable is like open source Lightroom - both GIMP and Darktable are abso

I'm using Linux Mint 22.3 so Ubuntu 24.04... Haven't solved the problem yet - either going to install/build needed libs and use LD_* vars to point to correct libs, or pack this in Docker/Podman container (but X11 apps an

This is big, it works on Linux. Finally! Let me check it out Edit: ofc it couldn't be that easy, need to update some libs to make DaVinci Resolve happy.

Same, I use Restic + Backrest (plus monitoring on Healthchecks, self-hosted + Prometheus/AlertManager/Pushover), with some decent structure - local backups every half-an-hour to raid1, every hour a backup to my old NAS, every day

I don't have an usecase, I don't own a printer even. But this is actually a good piece of software - it seems non-trivial from algorithmic point of view, UX is also well polished. Kudos to authors.

Both, I enjoy the process of building, so following instructions. But then it's done and boring. I.e. LEGO supercars sets are nice, they're so nice until you marriage chassis with drivetrain - you can play with all the gears and s

It’s literally the other way around - “GTK theme that looks like Qt”.

by alfanick 6mo ago
I never said that. Ofc Qt apps work just fine on any desktop environment you have (or even none), but they still look off if run Qt app on Gnome. Looking off == not native.
