   I would question all these Raspberry PI-ish NAS attempts, especially when it includes some power adapters and milling out cases. It all feels so fiddly and sluggish while still being "not that cheap". Storing my important personal

   It depends. If its something like my personal todo list pure-todo [1], I tend to write it down in less than a week without using any frameworks and hardly ever touch it again. If it's something like m4b-tool[2] or tone [3], that has to

   inertia.js is his choice (see his comments). Not bad actually. As I already said: My comment was not meant totally serious, I also hate this framework hopping... although hono.js is promising.

   I was not totally serious about it. My hunt for the next best framework is over... I tend to use vanilla JS for my pet projects and for more serious stuff I use whatever I find interesting or what the project uses :-)

   Maybe you like Krita[1] more? I found it promising, but then ran into performance issues all the time and switched back to gimp. However, I still enjoy the Pepper & Carrot[2] comics done with Krita. 1: https://krita.org/

   Why not use Signal? You can message and phone call securely, it's free and not too feature packed.

    You should definitely checkout Affinity Photo[1], which is a decent alternative costing way less money. I personally switched to Gimp, which took its time, but now that I'm used to it, it is ok. 1: https://affinity.serif.com

    I use a git repository `dotfiles` containing several configs in `dotfiles/etc/`. Since I use `zsh`, I usually only symlink the `dotfiles/etc/zsh/.zshrc` to `$HOME/.zshrc`, while the `.zshrc` loads environment v

    As already stated: At home I use Fedora (and others). Company restricts me to use Windows - well technically, the project does, but company IT would not be happy, if I'd use Linux there. And no, this is not a reason to leave an otherwi

    Besides git bash you could also use wsl, like in: wsl ls -lsa wsl cat file.txt Basically, starship is a config generator for your shell. It transforms a cross platform config file (starship.toml) into a platform specific configura

    Absolutely. In my company I'm forced to use Windows, because we develop Windows software (WPF). I'm not totally happy with Windows (especially 11), but I tend to look for jobs that have nothing to do with what I'm too familia

    I once had a Bug in SQL Server, where a SUBSTRING(field, 1, 255) in a varchar field that was 255 in size improved the query performance about 1.5 times. We never found out, what the problem was, but we traced it down to the SUBSTRING - remo

    The aircons are far more efficient these days, but in mostly wooden hardly insulated houses often built in the US the costs are way higher. A fully running aircon for a single room pulls around 1kw per hour, while it usually runs about 15 m

    Your use case seems very specific. I personally am very happy with ocrmypdf[1], which is free and puts an invisible text layer into the pdf. However, since it is free, I'm pretty sure it cannot compete with the commercial solutions you
