I've been forced to use Macbooks for development at work for the past 7 years. I still strongly prefer my personal Thinkpad running Debian for development in my personal life. So don't just put it down to lack of familiarity.

I have my own custom perl script which basically does the same which I've been using for probably a similar amount of time. Never used a dedicated RSS reader. My feeds just get turned into email and dropped into the appropriate folder

I view the webpage source and search for the strings "rss", "atom" and "feed" until I find one. I currently have 145 feeds. I follow blogs, news, I get updates about local events, I follow youtube channels, I g

I could go smaller using the light package, but I wanted a full featured Exim in the container. And I'm using the testing image so it keeps up with the latest version of Exim.

I find part of the fun of dockerising small apps is in trying to get the image as small as possible with as few files in it as I can. This one looks like it still contains a lot of stuff that's not needed. For example, my exim image h

I recently doubled the thickness of my iPhone SE by adding an external battery. Fits in my jeans pocket fine along with several other things in the same pocket. If they can get it that thin, why don't they just add more battery and tak

I made this about 6 years ago. It's a python script that acts as a wrapper to the npm command. When you run something like "npm install" or "npm start" or whatever, it actually runs the command inside a docker or po

I live in the East Midlands in the UK. You can grab a reasonable first house here for less than £150k quite easily. So you'll need a 5% deposit, £7,500 for one of those. One person on an average salary for the area would be able to aff

> Tesla Model S in Autopilot mode allegedly came to a T-intersection and, failing to see that the roadway was ending, kept his foot on the accelerator Autopilot requires you to have your foot on the accelerator? That seems weird to me.

I use a combination of mosh and screen for this. I only need to type something to get my session back, after a reboot. Changing networks or putting my laptop to sleep for days doesn't drop my sessions: https://www.grepular.c

Different than me? When I used to cycle, I skipped through traffic lights, when it seemed safe to, and I've seen many other cyclists do the same. It's not a bias, it's an observation. But I mainly said it as a joke, because i

I do this for my washing machine, drier, dishwasher and also 3D printer, in the UK. Have some Z-Wave Greenwave PowerNodes, hooked into Home Assistant. Works great. I also have Alexa hooked into Home Assistant so I was able to make it announ

I don't think this was done on purpose. If the query string is "?a=b" that's fine, and it's used in the cache filename. But if the query string is "?a" then it's excluded from the cache filename. Eith

I don't care if it's free or paid. If it has privacy flaws, they should be fixed, or people should be informed of them. Evolution Mail isn't interested in doing either of those things. So I'll do it for them. If you thin

They really haven't done number 1. A bug report was submitted, and then it has stalled for 15 months. As of this point in time, nobody has explained to me why it would be a bad idea to add a "Do not rely on for privacy. More info&

I noticed that during my testing. Was difficult to keep it running for more than a few seconds at times. Thunderbird is a good choice.
