It's not that popular, there is literally just tens of gemini servers, for now you are not missing much. Ironically there is no good search engine for Gemini; there is one at gemini://geminispace.info/ but it is shocking

No, they just want it to be as hard as possible. Although I was surprised how relatively big faxes are in Germany. I never had sent a fax before I was in Germany.

Thanks. I got into issue "drone is acting weird because of issue X, how easy would be to fix it vs. migrate to builds.sr.ht?" and it turned out, fixing it was much faster (in the end it was dumb problem with docker networks) than

Hello. Thanks for responding! To be clear. I wanted to use builds.sr.ht on a self hosted server. I opened https://man.sr.ht/builds.sr.ht/configuration.md and that, at a start, starts with QEMU and KVM. I got too lost

On one hand, I really like github and I think they have done tremendous job with popularizing git (and they have not gotten worse after acquisition by Microsoft, which surprised me) But I’m glad that there is an alternative that is not afra

Well, if you trust github enough for the keys, you can just download and distribute the arbitrary data through github itself. I guess that is what he was referring to.

Playdate does not seem like VC funded? Panic is existing Mac software company, that sold (arguably, niche) software at not-that-small prices (well, usual for Mac OS ecosystem, at least in 2000s/2010s), and had a modest success being a

The funny thing is… if you are using gmail app on your phone, you don’t use webmail, because webmail is indeed too janky and bloated for phones, and native is just faster.

That’s not how this worked though. The guy focused on individual letters and imagined himself writing them.

Yes, news backed off from Apple News because they want to track users more than Apple News allows, basically. Plus they want to be more in control what gets shown.

Tor is much more easily detected than VPN. Or. Well. It is same easily detected, but you can reasonably say you have VPN "just to watch US netflix" or something like that. You cannot say that about Tor.

This, plus the very strict rules (no links, no conversion tracking, no targeting) makes me think this will be hugely unsuccessful But what do I know. I don't have 1 million EUR as a deposit lying around.

Well. Colbert made fun of Wikipedia publishing nonsense… in 2006. 15 years ago. This is not a new criticism.

Sorry for sounding like a smart-ass, but wouldn't asking an Ethiopian tech forum be better than asking Hacker News, which do not know all that much about local situations and local solutions? Also good luck. My friend used to be in Add

Yeah nobody really cares about those… people get new phones or, (in case of GPG) forget to renew their certificates so often that people just ignore this stuff. This is a problem that is as old as public key cryptography and nobody really s

If you don’t want to read this type of stuff, don’t read corporate blogs. Especially CEO posts. That’s easy.

Yes this is what I wanted to add. $() is obviously inspired by jquery itself, but it has a slightly different semantics than jquery, so ironically jquery can override it. I am not sure what x$ is. However, what was not in the article, you c

Yep. We used to hire remotely in Nigeria, and that was almost always the case. The ones that we wanted to keep always got to richer countries and multiplied their prices.

If you want to get better at this specific thing, work or study in this field. Person who wrote this probably won't know much about, say, compatibilities of latest version of WebPack and VueX; or about cryptographic protocols. You cann

It depends. The rich countries still prefer to hire in rich countries, because of: * similar timezone/working hours * similar work culture * less language barriers * rich countries still got better skilled workers * less legislative ov

Wikitravel and Wikivoyage articles are usually functionally identical. There are sometimes information that are in one and not the other, or vice versa. However, when I look at actual edit history, wikivoyage seems indeed more active. So yo

If you have even a mildly successful github repository, you will understand. People are weirdly entitled and feel like you really, really must fix the bug. Often with no real actual datapoints or way to reproduce. Still, auto-closing bots

Try Affinity Photo. It works for me as a Photoshop alternative. (Sorry if you tried already.)
