I agree with your point about fragmentation. But isn't the "Year Of The Linux Desktop" just a joke at this point? Even more so now that desktop computing is becoming less and less important to most people.

This looks nice, particularly the automatic discovery. Any monitoring system I've ever worked with can check for expired certificates. So usually the issue at previous jobs has been either there is no monitoring system (time to set one

With that in mind I wonder what the uptime % of HN is, and if the master/standby setup involves automatic failover.

It just immediately struck me as a website optimised for a mobile device - but this is very much a personal preference/bias. As soon as I saw 4 small icons in the middle of a black void I twitched :) I do like the minimalist approach t

Thanks for sharing this. I'm not a fan of this kind of design when browsing from my desktop, but I did enjoy browsing through your Projects list. NIGHT.FM is great!

Interesting! Particularly the discovery of the sparing use of green in Akira. I haven't seen either of those films in quite a few years and it really brought back to me how staggeringly beautiful they are. When I was in Sydney in 2018

Interesting! I've been thinking of building a NAS and hadn't considered the rockpro64. Have you found that 4GB RAM has been sufficient for ZFS? I'm currently running a small ZFS array with 12GB RAM and the box never seems to

I like the idea, but something that does concern me is the potential lack of transparency. While sponsors won't have any control over the projects they are funding, they will have access to a Sponsors-only issue tracker on GitFund wit
