Katapayadi is heavily employed in the nomenclature of melakarta ragas in carnatic (south Indian classical) music. One of the most fascinating mnemonic schemes ever.

This is fascinating! I've been meaning to set something up on a spare rpi for this and I hadn't heard of yacy before. Thanks!

I empathize with that kid - his intentions were probably good but I'm pretty sure he didn't know this would have sent email notifications. Even if he had known, kid wouldn't have known that it is a bad bad thing. :D Kid proba

Just wanted to share my appreciation for not just this post but all your work in recent times! Been following your trail since your post about Google promos and the set of useful projects you've been working on since then.

What's pretty annoying is that users are providing free QA for Google!

I do remember the whole debacle that happened at DEFCON and people got fired for presenting something on stage. Agreed, there's a lot of interesting stuff that came out of the Security (or related orgs) at Salesforce. Red team tools, c

I feel for the team working on this at this time. I hope this doesn't end up accelerating the culling off of Heroku by Salesforce. One of the smartest and nicest bunch of folks I've worked with.

I have been very stoked with color epaper since the mirasol days and alas nothing has materialized yet out to the mainstream. Looking forward to see how this pans out.

Curious to know your team size and engineering challenges with building this on Chromium. Also, did you consider WebKit or Gecko?

Has anyone gotten Wayland working consistently with Nvidia GPUs? I tried it a while back and I faced a lot of issues getting it working. I'm guessing things are better now but would love some signals before I try this again.

At least let people change the hash function to MD5 to give them a chance! :D

I've long marveled on of my ex-colleagues graphviz-fu. He'd whip out a new graphviz online doc and explain an architecture through it. Helped a ton during the pandemic as we were all remote.

I used to work on UMTS networks about a decade back and fresh out of college it was quite daunting. At that time I wanted to study an opensource implementation to gain more understanding but I couldn't find any. Glad to see this in the

Excellent idea to sync Whatsapp. Do you use any means to read your Whatsapp chat history on other devices - say your laptop?

I've been using Syncthing for the past few days and it has been working flawlessly. One thing I haven't tried is syncing between Windows and UNIXes (macOS/Linux) - does anyone have experience around this? How do permissions w

I definitely acknowledge your feelings and having a young kid can absolutely push the limits on parents. Have you considered outsourcing childcare? Doing that would definitely make both of you have more time for you both and even a single m

https://obsidian.md has served me very well. It's not open-source but the community on discord and the forums has been amazing and folks are very responsive to feature requests.

#+begin_rant I've been very very skeptical about Roam - I appreciate the sentiment behind it and the fact that it's making more people aware of networked thought but the marketing around it has been insane. Especially investor Twi

It's a huge coincidence that I'm beginning to enter into the world of emacs owing to org-mode after being a vi(m) user for about 15 years now. Of course, I'm doing this with evil mode which I'd say gives the best of both

Been using it for a couple of hours now. I'm sold with the PDF excerpt feature. Reading books and papers is going to be fun! Can you elaborate on the data residency aspects? It's mentioned that all data is stored on the iPad. Do I

Been following your journey and I was waiting for the free tier. A free form note taking app is something I've missed and I think muse would perfectly fit this.

Quite the natural evolution since TrueNAS has traditionally been a BSD box and they've invested a lot of time in ZFS. Happy that this will carry over to FreeBSD. Now, only if Windows would also have some sort of support ;)

This is fantastic. I fetishize learning and I'm quite envious of the stuff that you got to learn. For me, the ability to learn hard things is what a PhD trains you for. Yes, it's not financially rewarding in the first few years of

Could you explain more about why one should not use JWTs. We use it for a very esoteric one shot use case for microservices auth and it perfectly fits the bill by not requiring us to maintain a lot of state.
