I do all my Python stuff in a container. I've found it easier than the N+ other methods. As a bonus when creating the container one can basically just use the tools the project author likes (pip, ,etc) even legacy things from older sc

I have a similar webapp front for the APIs. And it stores the conversation thread like the Chat UI. And I add some meta data to the prompt: tags, notes, links (just Markdown) Wouldn't mind getting integrated into my NextCloud.

I make htmx sites built around view fragments rather than pages. And when I need a page it's just a set of fragments. I make "API" endpoints fir the needed fragments and call via ssr on first paint, then as needed from the ht

Here I am using the backs of paper from spammy paper mail (post) held together with a binder clip and the random pen I got from my recent visit to a bank. The price in these things seems a lot to me. But I also spent money on a Remarkable (

Well, I don't think I'm lazy. IIRC prices were already moving up and the rent-a-car-apps were exiting. And Uber/Lyft were very far on funding, needing some margin. And then there was this other trigger event of worker pay. Wh

Why did the prices for Uber/Lyft rise everywhere else too? It wasn't Seattle laws that did that. It's that those companies needed to go from Growth-Mode to Margin-Mode. They could no longer sell VC dollars for dimes.

Not just you. I use a vendored on-prem copy for all kinds of stuff. CPAN, PECL, NPM, bespoke binaries and docker images. All the upstream vendor deps get caches in this corp-main type repo that we all use internally.

As a user of both, I don't really see anything missing from OpenRC. Maybe parallel startup? Hasn't been a bottleneck for me, ever. I prefer the "syslog" way over journald but that's not anything like a deal breaker.

Right! If you wanted new Gnome you needed systemd - illusion of choice.

And don't need systemd for that.

I've got an account on Google apps, and spams have landed in the main mailbox. Attached PDFs was the common thing. Obviously spoofed sender. One new attempt is sharing (virus) files via Dropbox - been getting a bunch of those invites

What? Blue LEDs were much cooler! I even modified hardware to swap out green/red for blue (c1997) cause they were so awesome. I have to put a small V-drop cause they were so bright.

I'm logging in on a laptop and getting notifications on my mobile that contains my laptop hostname. I don't have any banking app installed on either device. It's confounding.

Yea, first time I hit their site from this machine. And the alert showed on my mobile phone - "allow aluminium?" One of these days I'm gonna log in with the debugger active.

Institution for Savings. They use an app/webapp built by a third party that covers loads of small banks.

On the subject of getting "private" data from the browser. Somehow my Bank webapp was able to 2FA prompt me on sign-in with my hostname (aluminium). How did it get that? And when using their site from mobile it's able to see

And when the CSS is "inline" via classes vs raw style then you get consistent padding (p-4) vs some things that vary and are hard to update theme-wide (padding: 8px). It's basically putting a bunch of CSS into "vars&quot

Maybe now is a good time to remind everyone: your vision will deteriorate. Keep this in mind when designing. When I first came to HN it wasn't an issue. Now I have to use my own app for it so the font (and some other things) are worka

I've been in Oakland, SF, Seattle and now am in some far (1h away) suburb (exurb?). I feel like the quality out here is good, but the stuff to do is smaller scale. Biking is safer and the city (Boston) is a short train (or drive) away.
