I imaging that for WFH a laptop, a mini one in particular, is a CRAPPY thing, especially one bound to public WiFis and in general used via Wifi. For me, a 100% remote worker being reliable means having a good setup, composed of a desktop an

What I want from bookmarks it's not manage them as files, since those files are just links, I'd like to have eventually collected snapshots (like Zotero does), eventually DIFFING through them (because often articles get modified,

Honestly I think digital nomads the least able to properly remote work due to their unreliable setups... WFH is a modern way toward a practical Distributism, being nomad or "owning nothing" is the very opposite.

I wonder why Arch as well, because it's a rolling distro so a terrible model for a commercial/production product/service, but why no *BSD is easy: bad modern hw support, Debian because of a rock solid base but extremely old d

Well... Arch community is very kind and very active, but Arch is a rolling distro, a paradigm essentially incompatible with stable production systems. I wonder why not choosing NixOS or a custom Guix System (due to the non-free stuff) inste

Curiously no one say who have bought the fertilizer... Ask yourself why, to ask yourself why the war in the first place.

The idea is very nice, but as all LLM-backed stuff I see results are poor, meaning we need more effort to use the LLM obtaining good results than doing the work with non-LLM-wrapped/backed tools. It's the same for copilot to code

It's a very nice project, I hope a day they choose to support PostgreSQL and SQLite though, they are much more popular these days and chances you already use both, just need to add a DB are high.

It's transclusion-based/index-based so essentially you crate a master-index (a shelve of books) and start develop books chapters, you can split them in as many pages as you like, combine pages by transclusion, linking subpages etc

I still RANT that we have OpenBank by law since 2017: there is no damn reasons not to open it to final customers. We could then pay via SDD (SEPA Direct Debt) everywhere, and we could manage all our transactions LOCALLY with signed XML or J

So why they not decide ALL UNITED an impromptu sudden strike? Not only Amazon but ALL WORKERS able to WFH, together, with a single message: we are the people who made the tech, be against us and you'll get no tech, good luck with pen a

The title is a good summary: an ML system in connected printers to better render on paper stuff sent to the printer like many web-app pages some elderly and not so elderly keep trying printing even if it's a useless activity. Of course

I do not know if laughing or crying... Buy means acquiring an asset, an asset might became a burden or not, but it's still something, an investment. Rent means consume resources to end up in nothing or non-investing. Of course if just

Another proof we need a less concentrated internet to few hubs. These hubs are harmful as harmful is the need of telco for violating net neutrality to serve such hubs well enough. They have both reasons and they are both wrong.

Few notes as an European NOT concerned by floods while being born in a relatively flood prone area: it's not about climate change but people who do not want to change. In the very past our ancestors have chosen settlements prone to flo

To achieve such result you need to digitalize for real. Here in the EU the current state of things is crappy because most do not want digitization and that's so happen driven by few interested parties. So instead of having a smart card

Economy, quickness, simplicity, effectiveness, comfort. Let's say you have a smart-card as a digital ID, you need a new one because the one you have is expiring. With classic model you go to a certain office in a certain timeframe to d

Well... Digital identities are a natural step since we need to digitalize the society and so we need to have digital IDs like we need physical ones. The point though it's another, or when imposing them and how. In a country where 99% o
