I think they’re just saying that just like you shouldn’t take one person’s opinion/experience (in the article) as gospel, you shouldn’t take another single person’s opinion/experience (in the comment) as gospel.

It seems like the point of this is to reduce junk mail by forcing a financial cost to sending mail thereby causing the sender to really consider the content of their message before sending it—except there is a real cost associated with send

I have literally never gotten answering calls on another device to work. I use it as a notification and that’s all because otherwise I’m in for a bad time.

Node red is probably closer to what you’re looking for, though it’s JavaScript and not shell, it’ll give you a lot more flexibility.

Not the original poster but I’ve tried it a few times. Absolutely love the customizability of the methodology, but for me the interface was a bit sluggish feeling for quick entry and getting a larger overview of my tasks. Things like page l

I think the authors point was that if the NAS itself fails, with RAID1 you can hook a drive up to a computer and get the data. RAID5 hardware RAID will generally require the same controller for recovery, making the operation more difficult.

If multiple hosts have the file open you run into sync conflicts pretty often, and that would be exacerbated by something within VCS. Don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad piece of software but not in the same spirit of the software in this pos

100%. Mid-80's here and even as Millennial was coming into common use it never seemed to fit quite right with me, but neither did Gen-X. I have older siblings, and I think that helps as well since I was exposed to the same kinds of t

You’re also kind of easily disproving the thesis of the article. Drug dealing has always had an “always on” culture and this is nothing new or novel. They want to push that FaceTime and location tracking contribute to dealers feeling as tho

Maybe unrelated to your post, but assuming you can’t change the boot order how could you feasibly reinstall the OS if you ran into malware or other issues?

I’ve been using a theme in Obsidian that’s _pretty much_ WYSIWYG, but albeit not _quite_ at Typora/Notion levels. If you’re working in that paragraph it’ll show syntax but hide it once that paragraph loses focus. To me this felt like

Wouldn’t that necessitate them supporting every one of those OS’s, including security updates as well? Compatibility mode is one thing, but a virtualized instance would be something else entirely, I would think.

On a similar note, I love my QC35s for the simple fact that this kind of an interface is available for them in general—I haven’t been able to find other Bluetooth devices that have a controlling app like this, though maybe I’m looking in th

Does anyone know of other Bluetooth adapters that do something similar to the Bose Connect app? Where you can specify which devices are connected to it like that? Ideally I’d be able to use an adapter to pair to a set of speakers I use on

And the tools they’re listing, Milwaukee Hammer Drill, for example, offers no warranty at all and wouldn’t be what I would consider to be “high end” either. Just seems like a purposely placed product rather than a legitimate BIFL item.

My biggest blocker isn’t a specific window manager, in that I can get a reasonable setup together in a relatively decent amount of time—it’s more around the fragmentation, or maybe my perceived fragmentation of the ecosystem as a whole. I’l

That’s where tools like Greylog, fluentd, and tools like Prometheus or “full service” tools like New Relic et al come into play—if you’re managing one or two servers, sure, it makes sense to jump in and poke around, but beyond a handful of

Same, or similar behaviors with the 2020 Intel MBP. I ended up having to format the drive as an exFAT drive and then reformat again as APFS to get it to reinstall it was a real pain in the ass.

Same opinion here. Whereas with Mac you’re setting things in one place across all of your apps, and it accounts for different scaling factors for different displays, this just seems like a huge pain to have to set things on an almost per-ap

I know there’s some half decent support for ESP boards with MicroPython, is that also the case for Circuit? Getting Adafruit gear in Canada is prohibitively expensive in comparison unfortunately, as much as I’d like to support the creator.

If you install fDroid via the APK on their site you can install DAVx for free, which is likely the for-pay app you talked about for bringing your calendars in from a CalDAV server. Still not as easy or native as installing a Google Calendar

Was going to also suggest obsidian, it’s been the closest I’ve come to a Notion alternative, aside from the database aspect.

You should check out Obsidian.md. It’s been great, and open source.
