For one thing, the isolation. I also run a “home lab”, and started off as a newbie running everything on bare metal. Quickly ran into dependency issues, and recreating the setup was painful, even if I had used something like a ansible Nowad

Also lots. One particularly fun one was a script that scraped fund prices for an old (bad) life insurance policy I had. Dump them to an SQLite db, and then later added plotting graphs which it would telegram to me once a week

With your own domain? Make sure you’ve got an the SPF, DKIM set up correctly, and register your domain with gmail’s postmaster tools. I moved my domain recently, and had completely forgotten about all that stuff I’d set up years ago. Starte

It doesn’t really suit me either, but the long term massive benefits of earning a big city salary, without having to live in a big city, seem to be the solution to the urbanisation that’s been forced upon us in recent decades

I know I shouldn’t, but reading about people who successfully surfed the tech bubble makes me groan. Because, even though I’ve also done well in Europe, I almost moved to the U.S. twice (couldn’t get offers), and passed up interviewing at S

Regarding not losing the keys (ie. responsibility for your own security), this was my #1 grounds for skepticism in crypto when I first entered the space. I could predict that without some compromise on this, most people would not use crypto

Another solution is no phones (chargers) in the bedroom. Have your "charging station" in the living room

This effect operates on the very simple logic that vocals tend to be the only fully centre panned channel in the mix. The same approach won't work for anything else, and won't work on older stereo recordings where hard left/r

Really fantastic tool. Glad I finally made the effort to export my PDFs (previously stored in nextcloud) to this tool

Seconded. It's a fantastic museum. And oddly space aged building considering the antique contents...

Are you comparing that salary to US salaries? Because the still relatively low cost of living in Berlin makes that anything but low

Honestly, considering how cheaply you can implement this (I resurrected an unused OrangePiZero), how easily it can be used (just plug it into a router LAN socket), it's crazy that the creators aren't actively looking to monetize t

As someone who recently tried to help a friend with recovering a lost/forgotten/who knows DashCore wallet password, containing a reasonable decent amount of funds, I'm skeptical that _most people_ will be willing to accept so

Apple software quality has got very sloppy (again). I recall it was particularly bad around 2014, but then seemed to have improved. Seems the sloppiness is back again. It would seem Apple is no unique in the regard that its success has made

Whilst this is a lot of fun, and the Japanese transport system is certainly something to be generally admired and imitated, unless I'm the only one here, just wanted to point out that there is a dark side to this also: https:/&#x

They still aren't "full" view controllers, though. I don't think any of the controller callbacks are executed. I would be surprised if custom drawing is possible. This feature mostly seems to let you leverage autolayout

The Guardian used to be a "serious" newspaper, but since they went after markets outside of the UK, including online, they're more of a "classy tabloid". Farming clickbait. A very unfortunate turn. Used to really en
