Yes, same. I had forgotten all about it. Such nostalgia at seeing the cover.

First I've heard of bcachefs, I thought you were referring to bcache, which I've used a few years ago. So was a little confused. After some googling it seems bcachefs is related to bcache but is a fully fledged filesystem rather t

Great write up! I looked at ImHex a good while back and I think I had some runtime issues or maybe even compilation issues and didn't dig deeper. Even though the definition language piqued my curiosity. These days I tend to just use xx

Yeah it's a good point about email. To be clear I'm not currently hosting my own homeserver, these days I just use matrix.org. Hope to self host again once I can find some time.

That's terrible. I used to host a home server many years ago, though it was mainly serving as a matrix bridge. Because of that I still idle in the synapse admins channel, though I have it muted and haven't opened it for years. It

I have an old google nexus 7 tablet that I recently installed uboot and postmarketos on. I can ssh to it, run X apps over ssh, print directly from it. It's pretty cool. I also have a really old iPad 2. It works perfectly HW wise, scree

Back when I had to develop on windows I used Far file manager. It was amazing. I've used midnight commander on Linux, but it isn't close to Far IMO.

I was at a DJ shadow concert recently and he had a notice at the start about not using phones and letting others enjoy the show without devices. It was really nice to not have phones being waved about everywhere. I don't think many rea

Wow, yeah the parent comment is shocking to me. For me matrix is OSS discussions, like a modern IRC (not that IRC is gone, a lot of matrix rooms bridge to IRC). Though I suppose if you search for other stuff you can find it. Though it strik

The marketing does make them look amazing. Though seems light on specs etc, it is kind of difficult to even figure out the difference between the models. I do love the idea though and it is tempting. I don't love programming on a lapto

These actually look pretty cool, and affordable. My understanding is that I can just use them as an external monitor, so if I'm traveling I could plug in my linux laptop and just have an external monitor to work on and could play music

Not disagreeing with you, but implementation diverges from spec a lot anyway. I've had to write decoders for things like HTTP, SMTP, SIP (VoIP), and there's so many edge cases and undocumented behavior from different implementatio

It's an interesting thing to consider. They seem both similar but very different at the same time. "Flow" to me feels like allowing the mind off its leash, but having it be completely focused on one task rather than its norma

That's kind of the problem though, if you are trying to learn and people just switch to English it's difficult to make progress. I've had situations in France where I ended up having one side of the conversation in French and

Not exactly the same thing, but I remember talking with a co-worker before about strategies to use a core and a hyperthreaded sibling core on the same work load, to get speed up. However, in practice I think it would be really difficult to

I read both many years ago, first 1984 and later Brave New World. It's been so long I've forgotten some of the details. Though, to my surprise, I remember while reading Brave New World, finding myself agreeing with a lot of the pr

This is great, it's hard to believe sites can have RSS feeds but make it so difficult to find. I suspect some sites are just running some framework than enables it and don't even realize they have one. I have used this site in the

I know what you are talking about with longer battery life :) I have a "dumbphone" with a battery that lasts 1 to 2 weeks depending on use, it's such a surprise when the battery goes that I'm often stuck without it being

Really strange, I'm in Europe too and I've always found it pretty snappy.

I agree on using paper, it's the only thing that works for me. But I use a rocket book so I'm not going through endless notepads and can optionally backup to PDF.

This looks really cool. I don't have a real use for it in my current work but in a past life it would have been so useful. Hopefully I'll have some time / opportunity to try it out soon.

Isn't there a free version or something? I had to write some C++ code in the past to send data into kdb and also a decoder for their wire protocol. For both I definitely had a kdb binary to test against. I just needed to test against i

Same here too. It's the act of writing that's important to me. Keeps my thoughts in order while I'm switching tasks etc. I do use a rocketbook which is a little reusable notebook with a companion app you can use to quickly sc

I have the jelly star and I do use this feature. It's useful if the remote is missing and you need to adjust the volume or something. I aslo used it when I was working away from home and was trying to plug my laptop into a TV HDMI port

To be honest, graphene was probably the least tinkering of any ROM I've used. You can install it directly from chrome on their page and then you're basically done. If you choose to install play store, you just install it and that&

KOReader has a RSS downloaded plugin, that could also be used to read hacker news.

I can burn hours reading on a plane, if I'm not really tired. But I feel the same as you about working on a laptop. The shaking, not enough space to type properly etc.
