Almost bought one of these, but opted for a raspi and usb3 external drive instead. Works great with Time Machine. https://saschaeggi.medium.com/use-a-raspberry-pi-4-for-time-... was my guide, though I deviated by using ext4

I'm so fascinated by the idea of self-hosting email, but /every/ time I see it come up on HN, someone asserts there be dragons, followed by lots of agreement. Maybe I'll try it on a toy domain anyway.

I was almost 30 when I had my first ever panic attack. I was alone and convinced it was a heart attack, called 911, and felt fine by the time the ambulance reached the hospital. Embarrassed, I was ready to brush it off, but instead saw a th

Can anyone elaborate on how JetBrains was involved? I don't have access to the whole article, and results from my searches are ambiguous.

Exactly the opposite; Selenium and friends have prevented the kicking of countless dogs I've never even met. Thank you!

A blessing! In my case anyway. It only happens when I intently listen to music: headphones, dark room, clear head. It's like a reward for focusing in. Thankfully it's not intrusive; doesn't happen when I'm driving or wor

This was fun to read. "Gadget" definitely needs definition. Does it mean: has moving parts? Requires electricity? Contains "electronics"? If here it means "surpasses its expected lifetime as an electronic device&quo

Trebuchet feels dated, especially when bolded and part of blue + orange scheme. That look was very trendy a few years ago. Also, too many faces. Two faces usually work fine. Maybe replace all the Trebuchet with Maven Pro, and all the Lucida

Now would be a great time to build a new FOSS e-commerce platform that runs on commodity hosting.

But if it's not supported, the browser will just try the next font in the CSS declaration. Is there something cooler you can do with detection?

I gotcha. FWIW, simply changing the email subject based on the respondent (or some other id) would let threaded email clients work their magic. It is annoying how multiple CL convos intermingle, all because they share the same subject lin

"You then get an email address that buyers use to talk with you. None of that email tag like with craigslist." Having trouble understanding this point. The CL anonymizer forwards to my normal email account. How does that add a step for eith

The trouble is that most of these "pranks" boil down to testing the attention of service-level employees of corporations. They don't give a shit, and shouldn't, given the realities of filling as many orders as possible during a shift.

Facebook made the decision for me yesterday. I declined to link all my profile data to business Pages, so everything I'd bothered to maintain was wiped out. It was clear I'm no longer part of their intended user base. It's fine. I have no i

In which case you have an opportunity to wake up the next day, decidedly the bigger person, wholly assured in your decision to leave, and with no regrets about how you did so.

I'm admittedly assuming, based on the severity of Jason's reaction, that the email was the first he'd heard of Evan's resignation. Had it been a face-to-face conversation, then a letter, the fireworks could have been avoided. Speaking from

It also has some presentation issues on longhand overrides of shorthand rules. Eg: If I override margin:0 with margin-top:1em, the margin:0 rule is not struckthrough. Granted, the most accurate way to present that override would be to displ

Good call. We can't afford to give a circle-jerking designer the benefit of the doubt, or do something even more drastic like actually ask him. Anyway, who wants to rate my app?!

What are the odds Google could offer free 3G with the device? Kindle pulls it off, but builds the cost into content. Maybe a new ad network?
