Go ahead. We've been self-hosting Gitea with Drone/Woodpecker for years; either it or Forgejo will do fine if you're okay with their feature set. I sometimes wander into these GitHub threads to have a laugh; our Gitea instanc

It is opt-in. The amount of FUD in these threads is unbelievable, both against Mozilla, Brave, or anything else really.

I've been using gemma4 for translating Mongolian to English. It runs circles around Google Translate for that language pair, it's not even close.

Not necessarily. I used jj for a couple of weeks and found it to be a complete waste of time. For an advanced user, it did not offer anything I cannot quickly solve in git. Which is probably the wrong thing to optimize in the first place, b

Make sure to backup regularly. I don't know how good OnlyOffice is these days, but it definitely has (had?) a terrible history of quality control. We migrated off it a couple of years ago after losing several days of work due to severe

OOXML is a terrible format, significantly overcomplicated and implemented by MS Office in such a way as to make alternative implementations fully compatible with it impossible. It's "open" in the name only, burying it would b

I'm pretty sure most "normies" who are at all aware of what MS Office is, and what, if any, of its alternatives are, still use OpenOffice and think that it is the no-cost office suite. LibreOffice already has problems with

Yes, 90%+ of sellers refuse to ship here (and we're not even under any sanctions and/or political pressure of any sort). I hear about these magical 100$ Thinkpads all the time; I'm yet to see anything cheaper than 300$ (add a

Have you looked at how expensive international shipping is? eBay covers just a few countries, the rest of us can't buy there because we'll be paying 10 times the cost of hardware to get it over here. I already moaned about this re

After using pnpm for years (at least 5, don't remember exactly), I've only ever had to whitelist one library that uses a postinstall script to download a native executable for your system. And even this is not necessary, it's

Linux has used "Reviewed-by" trailers for many years. If you've only done minor editing, or none at all, it's something to consider.

You can always ask your parent company to train on their usage. I hear they have incredibly massive codebases: Windows, Office, MSSQL, which stay out of training data for some reason. I thought neural nets never repeat the training data ver

Those sellers never disappeared; although I'm from not from Paraguay, the situation is familiar. These days they're selling desktops built on 10+ year old Xeons which you can buy for dirt cheap on AliExpress, installed on frankens

It's an LLM spambot, it is incapable of worrying. I'm much more worried about another instance of nobody noticing what they're replying to.

Anything from Etymotic never failed me. The current ER3 SE has been going for 7 years, and the cable is replaceable (when/if it fails — they're still on the original cable). All Etys have a peculiar love/hate neutral sound pr

If they replaced it with a second USB port, not simply removed the jack, there would be far fewer complaints.

Very pleased to see such performance improvements in the era of Electron shit and general contempt for users' computers. One of the projects I'm working on has been going for many years (since before React hooks were introduced),

The usual answer to this question is building out realistically looking accounts for later spam and/or astroturfing.

These LLM spambots are getting so good they're at the top of many discussions now, and people are none the wiser. Sad, but it was predictable. Please look into its comment history and flag this. Not that it will solve anything.

You probably can — by using neovim: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Neovim#Use_as_a_pager https://neovim.io/doc/user/filetype/#_man I've also been running (neo)vim as a manpager. Y

That would waste CPU time and introduce additional delays when opening files. They could probably lazily install the grammars like neovim does, but as someone who doesn't have much faith in the reliability of internet infrastructure, I

Because it's far more reliable to use proper parsers instead of a bunch of regular expressions. Most languages cannot be properly parsed with regexes. Those files are compiled tree-sitter grammars, read up on why it exists and where
