People in Finland seem in general follow the rules quite nicely. I heard there was a rumor of free buckets in Herttoniemi shopping mall that caused quite a rush of people, but what my mom and friends say it's super quiet now. Comparing

In Finland the whole capital area has been isolated from last Friday. People over 60 are not allowed to go out. People are expected to stay home and from the pictures the busier central Helsinki has been dead quiet for over a week now. Nine

You basically need your own VPN server with Pi-hole installed to control the tracking. It is a very effective way to block this, but not that easy to setup.

Having all Don Rosa comic books still in my shelf. Two of them with his autograph. Naturally all in Finnish, him and Barks being almost like national heroes in there.

The funny thing is I paid about the same from my rig that people pay for a Macbook Pro. It is not really unaffordable and you get a great development machine. Of course nowadays the combination of Emacs and rust-analyzer gives you a very fa

It's probably just the thermals. A desktop CPU runs circles over any laptop due to tremendously better thermals and power window.

I solved this by building myself a 3950x workstation. 16 cores and 32 GB of RAM does miracles for Rust workflows. That and the guidance kouteiheika gave above puts you far already.

Same here. A year ago I got myself a X230 as a second laptop, and installed OpenBSD to it, testing NsCDE and the original CDE only to settle down to another installation of i3. It's a great laptop and OpenBSD is perfect for my use. I c

That's what I understood also. I've spent tremendous amount of time understanding my diabetes, and your comment here validated my assumption in the case of CoV. It's still quite scary to see how diabetics have a very high ris

Would be interesting to know how the level of your treatment to diabetes affects your chances to die. I'm type 1, A1c under 6% and I do constant exercise. Is it worse with bad control, I haven't found an answer yet.

I'm an old macOS user. I downsized what I need from a desktop and I'm very happy with my minimal setup. I'm not using scaling from sway/wayland, but I basically just use emacs, firefox and alacritty, so changing those ap

I'm using a 4k screen with my sway tiling desktop. Enlarge the fonts from alacritty and emacs, set fractional scaling to 1.5 from Firefox and you're done.

The other banks in Germany have quite bad user experience compared to N26 which has a great app and is in English if you want.

RCA and XLR are still pretty much the standard. You just need to look for studio equipment from companies such as Genelec, Neumann, Pioneer et.al.

Well, I've certainly seen some nasty behavior in topics touching the async-std crate that I didn't like and thought should not be written. It felt really bad and was the first time I felt how this community has changed from the ye

There are also other projects working solving similar problems. The other is sqlx[0] serving as an asynchronous crate connecting to mysql and postgresql that validates the queries at compile time and is built as a new ground-up implementati

I found that FreeBSD has its use in NAS builds with its nicely integrated ZFS. Otherwise I'm all in for OpenBSD or Arch Linux.

I remember seeing in Runkeeper's changelog they removed the wear support altogether. Now using Garmin and no Runkeeper functionality here either.

I replaced my Pebble 2 when it broke with a Garmin Vivoactive 3 and it is surprisingly good with almost as long battery life. I need it mainly for blood glucose monitoring and I keep the watchface on all the time that does this. The downsid

This is the reason I've been using i3 and sway together over ten years already. My work environment never changes.

I heard 70% of their bugs are related to memory handling or off-by-one errors. About 7 severe bugs per year. It can cost them from anywhere between 100k to 10M to fix the bugs and problems caused by these bugs.

Yep. I remember how at least JDBC and JWT libs were needed to rewrite using a native language (which we did until some point!). And the GraalVM has a weird API that is not JNA/JNI when you want to use the native-image. It is not very r

Berlin also have a huge amount of old eGolfs in the WeShare car pool platform. I've always wondered how they charge all of those cars.

But then you're losing all of the goodies for movies and games, such as proper color space or contrast. Usually the business TVs are anything but good for movies.

My LG OLED television has it and it's such a nice interface overall, together with a wiimote-like controlling device.

Having a ThinkPad X230 in daily use with OpenBSD, have to say it's an excellent laptop and everything just works. Even the WAN, which can be turned on using `ifconfig` and is handy in places with no wifi, such as the country house.
