   I mainly use Field Notes brand. I like the thinner covers. I tend to grab a new book pretty commercial project, so those books didn't always get filled before I'm done with them. I also go through a series for sketching. I wish I

   FreeCAD/Ondsel ES are the main open source game in town. I know SolveSpace is out there and sound pretty serious, but it doesn't appear to have enough CAM built in to go from 3D model to G-Code to send to your CNC. Some people ha

   QML wasn't (at least in the Qt5 days) a good fit for traditional desktop style applications. It was nice for more multimedia touch screen stuff, but HTML5 in an embedded browser like CEF or Electron was catching up fast and with much b

   The title doesn't do this justice. This is about how in 2016, there were no roof fall deaths in US coal mines for the first time ever and the career and life of a federal employee who played a large part in that accomplishment.

   I've been interested in (but haven't yet tried) the BliKVM devices that are a for of PiKVM but are on a PCIeb card to put the device in the server. First generation from them used Pis the second switched to some other Linux SoC.

   Probably because USBC connectors are really cheap. If this was 5 years ago, they probably would be doing something terrible with a usb 3 A connector instead.

    This feels like spam to me. If I'm wrong, could someone add some explanation?

    There was a record set in 1999 to do E2M1 in under 8 seconds. It was broken repeatedly since then, but people thought it was impossible to get it under 7 seconds, and finally someone did that. This video shows the old record, new record a

    I've been using Fedora Silverblue for a few months. It has Fedora in the name, so it isn't super fringe, but as one of their experimental distros, it isn't exactly mainstream. The laptop I run it on was running Ubuntu 22.04.

    It would be interesting to know how this could be less innovative and still have had a chance to work. From my perspective, the point was the software. Getting that software to markets with unreliable electricity and little money would have

    An email us link is a bit discouragement for using it work purposes. I want a clearly defined price list, at least for some entry levels of commercial use.

    I wanted one of those things so badly. It inspired me to buy a used DECstation 5000 to get my hands on something with an R3000 CPU to try writing code for the CPU until I could hopefully someday get a Yaroze. That idea didn't really

    They specifically mention A2000 as supported. I assume that requires an '030 accelerator card then, but an A2000 with '030 card is probably much cheaper than an A3000 or A4000.
