I use uptimekuma (self hosted) and am very happy - it can text, or just about anything else - as long as you set it up. Also Tianji[1], self-hosted in the same space. Of course, these require setup and have to be hosted somewhere. Either an

I am convinced that I do not have enough data to be able to assess the "fittedness" of the entire Trump administration". And that is despite (or perhaps because) I have spent way way to much time reading articles both from th

The fact that Ansible doesn't allow feedback when a task is running, or give you access to the output of the task [it does give the response, but in a urlencoded json field that is useful but not friendly), makes it incredibly difficul

Off topic, but _why_ is it good that the gov gives hundreds of billions of dollars [if you include grants] to higher ed. I work in a startup where none of the programmers have been to college, and they seem to get along just fine. I volunte

I don't know how they work, but have noticed that many general filters (eg, Netspark or Netfree) remove all ads from Youtube. Make the experience so much better for all videos, and entirely removes most of the obnoxious ones.

One day short of April's fools! Or is it a timezone thing (The sun doesn't set over English empire, so no point waiting for tomorrow)? Or, is this a real Government website and I am just being cynical?

I totally get why you do subscription. I totally get why I don't do subscription. Is there some sort of middle ground? Say, minimum purchase cost is the same price as six months, but it keeps on working afterwards sans updates. When th

Kinda like the kids who only learned to drive with Waze. When they are stuck without it, they get hopelessly lost. They feel strangled, distracted, and find it hard to focus on the road. For about 3 days. Then they pretty quickly get up to

Actually, it is, in a diagram right at the top of https://github.com/Mooncake-Labs/pg_mooncake . However, the Venn diagram does not tell me anything useful, so I agree with the sentiment. Would love it if someone could

I run my own mail server and use postmark for delivery. It is really inexpensive, I don't need to rely on Gmail for anything, and after setup has required almost no interaction for 10+ years.

Just when there might be a whole pile of people considering to move to FF, Mozilla decides that FF should be selling your privacy.

If even a tiny appreciable amount of user move to librewolf, Mozilla will fix their business model. They were doing fine as a business under Eich, whatever you think of him. They make over $500M just from their search box - and frankly, tha

Someone on HN recently compared AI to a really buggy GPS. People will still use it, since it mindlessly gets you on the road and looks like it knows what it is doing, which makes it the path of least resistance - and that will beat out bett

Caddy is good, especially for super simple static sites. As soon as it gets somewhat complex, the configs start becoming messy and opaque, eg. Nginx: rewrite ^/old/((\w|-)+) /new/$1.php; Caddy: @oldPath {

I do the same for swimming. Teach them to put their head in water, then to do the "dead man's float" for as long as they could. Without realizing, they often start pedaling - which is basically the stroke. I have used this to

BTW, I have seen the similar in several older texts. One example is the Jewish lawbook "Toldos Adam V'Chava"[1]. Although many old religious texts have been reprinted with clear modern typesetting, no-one wanted to re-typeset

Time Machine does not backup your desktop and other spots that might be essential in case of needing a backup. iCloud does. I know users who would prefer not to trust Apple for anything, and only pay for and use iCloud to backup the Desktop

I have never had a email server be case sensitive, and often use that for mail filtering: myuSer@ - the big "S" is for spam! In line with with that, I would expect the login to not be case sensitive when it accepts an email.

What front ends work with jujutsu? Do I have to start doing all on the command line, or can I use existing clients such as Fork? Kudos for the article. I have been seeing jj here and there, but this is the first that made me want to try it.

Richard Feynman, while still a student at Princeton, found an error in some well known proof, and set himself a rule to double check every theorem he would use. I don't remember the details of the story (I read surely your joking years
