Online, you only see people with strong opinions, that actively decide to take part in the discussion. You don’t see the people silently scrolling by the comments. In real life (in Most Social situations), people are physically near and fe

I have absolutely no use for the products made by teenage engineering, as I don't have a clue about audio production. But scolling thought their store, I still want to own these beatiful devices.

SSH'ing to a raspberry pi in my parent's basement where my beer is fermenting has been the killer use case for me. Their crappy IPS router does not allow port forwarding, but with Tailscale I can directly access the sensors. Only

I’ve often thought about this. But, if I would have been raised during the Nazi era, I wouldn’t be me. If you would take back via a time machine now, I definitely wouldn’t become a Nazi. But what if you’d erase my memory and everything I kn

My whole smart home runs on self written software - but only the components that are highly customized, for example the dashboard, the video doorbell (which consists of multiple devices) and presence detection. Everything that can be solved

The ARM64 VMs are unbelievable. I'm running all my personal stuff on one instance with 4 cores, 24GB RAM and 200BG disk space for free. Before I payed Digital Ocean 5$ a month for one Intel core with 1GB RAM and 20GB disk space.

Highway traffic is the one thing I would trust a self driving car with right now, and that's how most of the time is spent on long trips. If can legally watch a movie or browse the web while my car is simply following the line (includi
