You can thing of Syncthing as a p2p dropbox. It can also double as a "live-backup" program, similar e.g. to Time Machine, if you enable file versioning in one of the peer nodes. Rsync is great as there is a clear master copy. But

This is Reaganomics [1], but for speakers. There's just a handful of audiophiles that would be replacing their speakers every year, so there would be hardly any "downflow" of quality second-hand speakers. And repairability ju

Test-only dependencies should be maintained separately from functional dependencies. For standardized things like testing, I'm not sure if DIY makes sense. Even if you use 10% of its capabilities, sticking with an established test fram

I mostly agree with TFA, with one glaring exception: The quality of Google search results has regressed so badly in the past years (played by SEO experts), that AI was actually a welcome improvement.

It's always nice to have an impromptu HN poll. We may have been missing and didn't know :) And now that you mention it, next year will be my 30th Unix-versary. Time flies... Still not a greybeard though.

That's useful indeed. Did you custom-code it, or is it e.g. an ohmyzsh plugin or something?

To be frank, it wouldn't be a surprise for Trump to claim "total obliteration" while having achieved nothing substantial. This would also be a very convenient way to break the current impasse: Trump can claim victory and brag

I think you miss some key issues here: (a) Browser fingerprinting can be very robust if you select your data points correctly. E.g. installed plugins, content language, fonts. The used data points can be dynamically fine-tuned in retrospect

I'm confused. I was expecting to see th plug hooked to the GPIO i2c pins, but just plugging it to the RPi appears to be enough. So, does HDMI directly expose an i2c interface?

What are the politics behind this? It is kind of unexpected to see this happen under Trump. Had this been in plans for years and the administration just failed to take notice and stop it? Is this the FTC trying to undermine Trump? Maybe it
