Ha! I am still using Last.fm 21 years after first discovering it. I would say my current music taste is largely thanks to Last.fm and its compatibility and "Similar Artists" features.

Haha I said the same thing when I saw it. `this.update` is essentially Mithril's `m.redraw`, which has been around for almost 10 years at this point, and Mithril was already popular for allowing you to use regular `let` variables as st

Redbean is very fun. I built a mini Markdown-based CMS with it earlier this year: https://github.com/kevinfiol/beancms

I think luvit [1] by Tim Caswell was the first one I saw that got me excited many years ago. I love to see passion for Lua/Lua derivatives. [1] https://github.com/luvit/luvit

Agreed. I'm surprised by the amount of Linux newcomers being directed toward these weird, specialized derivatives that have existed >2 years.

As a millennial, the concept of public school lunch not being loud is weird to me! I always remember the constant chatter of school lunch. Definitely had my share of hearty shared laughs, and heated conversations during lunchtime.

Was not expecting to read about Xiao Xiao today! I loved Xiao Xiao as a preteen, and spent many hours playing Xiao Xiao 4 [1], or re-watching the other Xiao Xiaos over and over again. [1] https://www.newgrounds.com/portal&#x

Just yesterday my wife was asking me if there is a way she can disable YouTube Shorts on the YouTube iOS app. I was surprised to learn there is no (simple) way!

Don't have tutorials or books, but I've had a ton of fun using Lua with LOVE2D [0] for gamedev, and also Redbean [1] for building super small portable web applications. Earlier this year, I built a mini CMS [2] inspired by rwtxt w

I LOVE Sonic Robo Blast 2. Please also check out the amazing kart racer spinoff, SRB2Kart! It is one of my favorite kart racers. https://hyuu.cc/ https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/SRB2Kart

Does this make Immich effectively function like Photoview? My current Immich by default stores my uploads in an `uploads/<UUID>/<bunch of random two character folders>` structure. This was a huge disappointment after m

I would say if you're looking for a photo management open-source alternative similar to existing solutions like Google Photos, yes. However, I've been using it for about 6 months and have experienced all sorts of weird bugs/p

On the flip-side, before Obamacare, my parents had a hell of a time finding an insurance that would accept us because of my pre-existing condition (childhood cancer). Definitely had its tradeoffs.

Add me to the list of people happy with KDE. I tried every desktop environment under the sun over the past fifteen years. I even wrote off KDE foolishly many years ago simply because I thought it looked gaudy. After Plasma 6 dropped, I deci

Woohoo, I love RSS. I feel this is a good a time as any to share Bubo RSS [0] by George Mandis, as well as my personal fork [1]. In essence, all it really is is a build script that reads your RSS feeds from a JSON file, and builds a static

I think this looks great and I'm excited to give this a shot. Also, shameless plug for my own micro JS UI library. No signals, just regular JS variables: https://github.com/kevinfiol/umai

I don't have an HP Dev One, but I bought the HP Aero 13 for my S.O. last year as a Christmas gift, and am silently jealous of it anytime I see her using it. It's crazy lightweight (under 1kg!!!) and portable, and the keyboard and

Mithril does full rerenders by default on event handlers and upon requests made with its request util. Normally, this would be a no-no in React land, but Mithril is fast enough that it's a non-issue, and it greatly simplifies state man

I do love me some RSS. I started using RSS seriously 2 years ago, and last year, I forked Bubo RSS[1] to have my own RSS reader[2]. It's just a static site that is built every hour using Github Actions (although you can easily turn thi

Looks kinda cool, but some feedback: * I agree with other posts that the site does download quite a bit of resources for what amounts to text on a page. * The site doesn't render with JS disabled. My guess is this was built with some J

Hey, I can agree with that! I still keep an MP3/FLAC collection I've been building since 2005-ish (when I was a teen). A lot of music has come and gone, but one thing that hasn't changed is that I still use foobar2000[1] on m

I use K9 Mail with Migadu. Feature-wise, nothing really caught my attention compared to Gmail. At the time that I switched, however, K9 Mail was noticeably snappier for me, had no Google Play Services dependency, and weighed about 7MB to Gm

Smartphone waste is the big one that makes me feel bad. I use my Pixel 5 for the same things I used my old Moto G5, but it was either I looked for an obscure custom ROM with an up-to-date AOSP version, or risk using an outdated now-slow pho
