Even amateurs will notice the difference between a "perfect" pour over from a $50 grinder and a $200 grinder. The GP clearly does not own a V60 :) Above the $200 range really only matter for espresso. Manual brews don't need

How can we make better operating systems if devices are locked down? How can hobbyists keep the hardware useful when the manufacturer no longer cares? Devices must remain open for the kernel programmers and hardware hackers of tomorrow to f

Caddy is amazing. I accidentally wiped my fairly complex nginx configuration (yay apt-get purge) and have been so spoiled by Guix that I did not care about etckeeper or ansible on my one Debian server. Anyway I decided to try Caddy to quick

Where are you connecting from? The servers are located in central Europe (Hetzner). From Indonesia I get "spikes", e.g. ~8 chars every second or so. As an aside, I'm interested in suggestions for Hetzner-style hosting provid

I don't see a difference between drawing something with paint and brushes vs prompting a model for the desired output (624 times, no less). Sure the latter requires less labor and a very different skill, but it's still a creative

For hiking OSM blows Google out of the water. I'm surprised how detailed OSM is with random forest trails and shortcuts, resting spots, viewpoints, etc. The main thing I use Google Maps for is searching for stores etc in cities. I hope

What do you mean? Can you point to examples of societal collapse similar to this? AFAICT this is a novel problem. Personally I think the logical conclusion will be to fair use/copyleft everything, but that seems like a win for society.

Education has been in dire need for reform a long time. The writing was on the wall even with the advent of the Internet. We now have supercomputers in our pockets and hyperintelligent assistants at our fingertips. Chesterton could certainl

Not needing root is a game changer. Another benefit is that "traditional" package managers may litter your system with configuration files and post-install scripts (for the software you are installing and all of its dependencies),

You had me worried there for a bit, but notes are not distributed by default. For the curious, you can push/fetch refs/notes/* ...to share notes.

Not exactly a fork, and you are probably aware, but there is at least one Nix-like system with full supply chain integrity and rigid packaging standards. https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/securing-updates&#x2F

Personally I don't visit particular episodes, but rather a feeling, a drive towards a specific emotional reaction. And try to think back to, recall, when that feeling first started, and then imagine meeting myself at an age where I e

To be fair, I think 12 is a stretch, but the number was more symbiotic with my actual age. Just months ago I would have answered 6 years, so there is some progress!

This makes it sound like I'm the founder or main developer of Guix which is not at all the case. I certainly would have been worse off mentally without Guix as a creative or "OCD" outlet however.

Author here, I appreciate the concern! Actually this blog [post] came about by stopping up and looking at my core values. Earlier this year I decided to quit alcohol for good and suddenly found myself struggling both socially and profession

I hope they follow Go's example and maintain a "bootstrap" branch that only need a C++ compiler, which can be used to build the latest version. Otherwise it will be a hard sell in distributions that don't want random bi

This is accurate in my experience, coming from an unloving household where shame was the name of the game. My coping mechanism became to ignore shame and shaming attempts, first in defiance, later "on principle", at any cost (so w
