How does this compare to Alacritty on Linux? I've been pretty happy with Alacritty for the past few years but I'm always interested in trying new things.

My biggest pain point with Balena in my previous job was that it used Docker; it's unfortunate that most of the solutions in this space (including Deviceplane) seem to do so. It's not really ideal in a number of installations to b

(new) GitLab engineer here. This is correct, it can be set to allow merge requests from "Only Project Members", or disabled entirely. You can also disable pretty much everything else as well, if desired. Disclaimer: nobody submits

Hah yes I've had this from NatWest. I always insist that they provide me with a number to phone them back, then check it against their website before dialing.

I use a Topre R2 that I imported from Japan, and I love it. The feel of typing on it is quite unique, and has replaced all my other boards.

I own two Filco boards and they are extremely solid. Also easy to get an aftermarket controller board (and easy to fit) if you want to make it programmable.

Interestingly the Logitech WiFi receiver for these mice can cause audio issues on some wireless headphones. I briefly had a pair of Sennheisser headphones and it picked up an interesting tick every few seconds. Though, to be honest, I think

I quite like Quassel, which doesn't seem to get discussed much. Has the ability to run the core and client on separate machines, decent customisation etc. I run the core on my home server and connect to it from elsewhere.

Charles Wheatstone was an interesting character. Obviously an extremely intelligent person, but it's a little unclear how many things he directly invented and how many were from his employees. The wide variety of his inventions is quit

I'd be very happy to receive any feedback you might have. I've been working on this for the past month and holding back on showing it around until it was basically usable. There's some details about the current state on this

I don't see how it's freeloading to not want to interact with a stupid popup chat robot. I will never, ever, use your stupid chat popup. Ever. So if I'm blocking it, you are losing nothing. Nothing changes for you when I bloc

I bought one probably about 3 years ago that is largely still good, albeit it has started eating paper when you try to print double-sided. It's pretty much solely a sheet-music printer for me so I suspect that aspect has failed due to

The most impressive thing about this for me is that Drew managed to work on this for 2 years privately and actually get it out there. I'm lucky if I can maintain concentration on a side-project for more than 2 weeks. To then have it pa

This sounds accurate to my now recently-ex company. The number of meetings have soared, to the point where they probably spend 2-3 days per two week "sprint" (it's really more of a hobbled walk) in project meetings. Not just

I have found it significantly easier to use, myself. Every time I try to use Docker Hub I get very frustrated very quickly and start trying out the competitors again.

I drove a new rental Peugeot (207 or something?) last year, wasn't actually bad at all. The interior no longer feels like they got the plastic from biscuit packets, at least.

Yeah I still use fansubs for everything. Unless you're only into shounen you kinda have to go to fansubs for any current shows. Some of the top groups really do a nice job as well, and the translations often feel much less bland than t

I find AppImage files quite annoying, I must admit. I understand that it's annoying packaging for all the different Linux distros, but this doesn't feel like the solution. Maybe renaming them and dumping them in /usr/loc

I've said it a few times on HN in the past but Haskell is by far and away the hardest language I've tried to learn. I have no formal grounding in maths/CS and I think a lot of the people who enjoy it really struggle to commun

I was still picking them up in the UK for about £120 until last year, maybe the stock has finally run out. I did notice that the price of the Gen10 does seem a bit steep, although I would say that the base specs are quite notably better tha

Yeah those E3s are really awkward to find. I ended up buying it secondhand from the US for about £85. I think you'll be fine with the i3 for Plex encoding though; I can get a few decent streams going on mine before it starts to tax it.

I did think about doing that but I actually choose not to do much in the way of snapshots on my server and instead use rsync.net's snapshotting, mostly to save myself money on storage costs locally (as files change quite a lot but I ra

I must admit that I never got around to setting up the iLO interface on mine! It's on my list of things to do in the next few months as I've finally got my home network set up how I want it and a large enough switch sat next to it

I'm surprised I don't see more people with my NAS setup. I run a HP Gen8 MicroServer which cost about £120 for the base machine a few years back. The default specs were a bit feeble but perfectly serviceable for running a NAS, tho

I looked at learning an alternative layout last year and opted against Dvorak, as to me it just seemed illogical (personal opinion). I ended up teaching myself the Workman layout instead ( https://workmanlayout.org/ ) which i
