   This changes the scale for all monitors for me, it doesn't handle per-monitor scaling.

   Currently on XFCE and still can't find a simple way to have two monitors with different scaling. Any pointers would be appreciated!

   I mentioned in another post I added the ability to comment on my items from RSS feeds with Mastodon accounts recently. Sure, it's not part of the protocol, but it does the job without any fuss and people who want to interact with me (t

   I've made quite a few comments before on HN about how I have come to use RSS feeds- essentially as a way to distribute highlights rather than distributing entire articles or previews of entire articles with a meaningless blurb in the f

   Quite a few people posting about the Windows experience as well in here although you only mentioned macOS and Linux, so I figured I'd chime in as well. I posted a day or so ago about wanting to migrate from Windows to Linux[1] after th

   Thank you! Usually the only feedback that I get on the README is that it is "too long", so I really appreciate this comment. :)

   They are all beautiful works of software, but nothing can really compare to the seamless experience of using a tool that you have designed to meet all of your needs from the ground-up. This is the downside of building your own tools (well)-

   I maintain a tiling window manager for Windows[1]. It's the only thing still keeping me on Windows right now. I run NixOS on WSL, and I have a separate NixOS desktop partition that I iterate on from time to time. Once I can make my til

    My anecdata is that all IG is really used for anymore is messaging due to inertia and cross-posting content from other platforms. Very little original user generated content. Fundamentally, these old apps that are built on the "create

    Update: I'm on the nixos-unstable "rolling distro" so I don't actually need to do anything. Also if anyone is wondering, nixos-unstable feels very stable as an end-user.

    That last sentence is so true. I'm all in on Nix and I couldn't elevator pitch it if my life depended on it.

    Last week I switched from my Arch VM to a NixOS 22.05 VM full-time and it has been an excellent experience so far. Looking forward to seeing and reporting back on what my first NixOS upgrade experience is like.

    I use this extensively in bash scripts where I need to scrape HTML reliably and consistently. Cannot recommend it highly enough. In fact, all of the source data for a project of mine, Baytyab[1] (couplet-finder) was scraped using bash + pup

    Interestingly, TikTok feels like the exact opposite of this; I used it without an account for a while and enjoyed the experience so much that I created an account and started making videos myself. It's quite rare that I have an experie

    My general setup mirrors this[1] pretty closely, though of course on Windows I can just use WSL2. [1]: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ubDMLoWz76U

    I've recently switched to using nix-shell and overmind with a Procfile to officially retired docker-compose from all of my projects. Such a breath of fresh air. Like Mitchell Hashimoto (Hashicorp), I no longer do any development on mac

    This gave me a flashback to the final season of "Halt and Catch Fire", which I enjoyed a lot and recommend to anyone who has nostalgic feelings about computing and the internet in the 90s.
