Odd that it doesn't mention probably the most interesting and usable decentralised exchange: https://bisq.network I do understand the point about UX; I wouldn't exactly describe Bisq's interface as "pretty&qu

I've been learning the [Workman]( https://workmanlayout.org/ ) layout in the past few months. I'm using a split Ergodox board, and Dvorak didn't make much sense to me for what I wanted to do. Colemak was _almos

It's both similar and different in many ways :) But I think adding support for it alongside IPFS wouldn't be too much of a pain, as superficially they work in somewhat similar ways. Primarily Dat is targeted towards sharing/s

Any plans to support Dat in the future too? I've had a bunch of distributed projects in mind recently, and I've still not decided which platform to start experimenting with properly, but Dat is definitely one of the other interest

I finally found a wonderful performance video of a player on the Uilleann pipes that I saved ages ago! It's unfortunately on Facebook, but this is beautiful playing (particularly on the regulators): https://www.facebook.com&

Interesting to see this pop up here. I play a lot of traditional music, and one thing I'm more exposed to than most people is variations in bagpipes. The Highland Bagpipes of Scotland are a bit of an anomaly; Scotland obviously has a g

That's very cool! It's a shame that I'm unlikely to own a Pixel device any time soon, but for those who do this looks really interesting.

I'm running an EdgeRouter X myself, which is actually not too far off your price at ~£50. Fantastic little router, great for home use.

I've been using WireGuard on my router for the last 6 months, and it's fantastic. I get the full speed of my line through it, when OpenVPN was only giving me 20%. Because of the great plugin they have for Vyatta I'm going to

Well to be fair this is really the target market for those sorts of posts and discussions. Equally the same could be said of the Firefox blog post I guess, that it was intended only for other branding people, and that by posting it here it

Haha, that might have been a bit of a generalisation. Unless the person is socially inept (which, to be fair, isn't uncommon in this industry), I think you eventually realise that nobody is interested in what you are interested in. I j

The older I get, the more I hate the industry around "brand". Obviously it has an effect, I get that, but my god the branding guys are so wanky about it. They can go on for hours about stuff that literally no-one but branding guys

Looks interesting, but the docs are quite lacking currently, so I'm not too sure what its current capabilities are :)

Yep, I'm still using my one with physical buttons. It's a shame that market has completely stagnated, as it's letting Amazon release ridiculously expensive new models with the features they removed from the last few versions

I dunno if I'm doing it wrong, but I really don't like the .AppImage thing. I've never had it successfully add itself to my system, and I don't like that it isn't actually part of a package management system. I tota

I'm not sure where the problem is, where I'm using past tense it's for events that happened in the past. The system can be current but have been launched in the past.

We had a bike rental system launch in Cardiff very recently, run by NextBike. It has been a massive success, and fills a pretty gaping hole in our city's transportation. Cardiff is basically entirely flat, and has a few separate parts

I find it utterly bizarre that they would sell off their primary domain for their software to some shithawk SEO guy. What an incredible way to ruin your credibility with customers :\ Honestly it just looks like they're hoping to rake i

I would also recommend that if you want to find a way into enjoying Shakespeare again after it was most likely ruined for you in school, to watch the comedy Upstart Crow, made by the BBC. It's a good-humoured jab at Shakespeare's

The only one I found funny at school was Twelfth Night, and the rest were extremely arduous. I went to college in Stratford Upon Avon and I found his writing so much more interesting once I actually got to spend more time learning about the

I do really wish more Shakespeare was performed in an original accent, as there's an awful lot of rhymes and jokes that don't work in modern pronunciation. Like "hour to hour" being pronounced like "whore to whore&q

From my own experience, Haskell is hard to learn. I have no grounding in maths, but that hasn't stopped me learning most languages. It's a pretty massive barrier to Haskell though, and I find that a lot of the community really str

Haha, I thought it might be obscure around here, but I suppose it's not too surprising to find out that computer nerds are also instrument nerds ;) It's such a fun festival, though rather dangerous for your wallet.

There's dozens of us! My plan is somewhat similar; once I no longer live in a tiny flat I'll start experimenting with some designs. I've restored and tuned a couple of old Hohners, which is good practice. Another 10-20 of tho

It's a little strange for me to see this here, in that I live in a world of instrument makers and luthiers, being a folk musician in the UK, and therefore interesting luthiers are pretty much my normal exposure to instrument makers. I

My partner is an archaeologist and this is an entertainingly common occurrence with older digs. She reassessed a few as part of some old work in the past few years and found that some bones were from lunch on the dig-site :|

Takes a while to get it going but it does seem very good once it's set up. I had trouble trying to find any guidance on ways of running DB migrations during pipelines, so I'd be very curious as to how other people solve that (as I
