You are going in the right direction, but boy will this thing need work. The index is lacking, that's for sure. Try scawanging for bookmarks of HN users for a jumpstart. I searched for hackernews, and the first result was OpenSUSE. Git

I admit to being rude and to being a very bad builder myself. But the article is bad. Just about every piece of evidence has some sort of issue. Correlation-causation, or not enough data, or just assumptions. The wolf stuff (seems to be) ba

I use navi cheatsheets for that. You can store commands with descriptions and easily execute them. This is where I put all the "will need only once a year" commands. What I do google is ffmpeg, but not before every online editor&#

Looks cool. I suspect the software is doing a lot of the heavy lifting, because the mechanism is (looks) quite simple. Here are some flaws/potentially misleading features I noticed: By design, the robot has only 2 I/O functions (3

Why does this feel more like an advertisement for Webrecorder[0] than an actual guide? Why add that privacy and big tech section at the end? Thanks for the list of features and buzzwords, but I couldn't figure out what all this tooling
