I keep things simple on the serving side and just choose an appropriate client. I just use a NFS share on a Raspberry Pi with attached SSD to make FLAC files available on the network. Playback is with Volumio on a Raspberry Pi that I have c

Looks nice, although a feature I like in ncdu is the 'd' key to delete the currently highlighted file or directory.

I followed the standard nvm install process, to get it loaded from my .zshrc I noticed a second or two in lag between launching the terminal and getting a shell prompt. Commenting out the nvm load as a test removed the delay. I installed fn

I didn't enjoy the Rust hype on here in years past, but I'm always glad of any better tooling. Just an example from the other week... I swapped out NVM for FNM (Rust) and now I don't have to put up with performance issues, es

We're in the process of getting windows replaced, and the window company said they are now mandatory on all new and replacement windows. Apparently, it became law in June 2022.

Hmm! Here are some things I like in iTerm2 : - Drop down terminal like Yakuake - Visual bell, can show me when something has finished running - Great incremental search, with regex supported - Instant Replay, to allow time travel through an

Do you use a Mac? If so, tmux in control mode [1] plus iTerm2 could be what you're looking for. You would use the -CC flag when starting tmux either locally or on a remote host. This brings all the niceties of an iTerm shell session, b

On dot matrix and impact (like daisywheel) printers, there were sprockets along the side edges of the paper so that the tractor part of the printer could advance the paper after a linefeed. It's sometimes called 'listing paper&#x2

I didn't get on with the relative numbers either. In IdeaVim and VSCode, I've mapped the spacebar in Normal mode to EasyMotion. For jumps that aren't very close, you can land on any character you can see on the screen in 4-is

I encountered the secret update problem too. I have a secret rotation playbook that stops the Docker services stack, removes the secrets, recreates under the same name, and restarts the Docker services stack. The community.docker Ansible mo

If you run Docker in Swarm mode instead (docker stack deploy instead of docker compose up), then you can make use of Swarm secrets. You don't have to make full use of Swarm; it can be a single node with a single instance of the service

I've been impressed with ZeroTier. The free tier is pretty generous. Plus the desktop client allows you to access more than one network/account at the same time. IIRC, Tailscale requires you to switch between accounts.

In some parts of the world, electricity prices are very high at the moment. Last time I measured (IIRC) my NAS uses 70W with all drives running, 30W with the drives spun down (sleep mode) and 3W when "off" (really WOL). At the mom

I’ve started doing this in my home office after buying a CO2 monitor. It’s worked out pretty well. I don’t trade much room temperature at all to get back close to 400PPM.

by timrichard 3y ago
Maybe the difference for monitors for computer work doesn’t make so much difference (unless you work in photo or video), but for TVs I think going from SDR to HDR can make a bigger difference than, say, going from 1080p to 4K (although HDR

Out of interest, I just pasted a package.json into ChatGPT and asked if any dependencies were deprecated or no longer maintained. The results looked promising, but there seems to be a cap on the time it can spend browsing. So perhaps it cou

Mine didn't either. LaserJet 402dne. I connected it via Ethernet (no WiFi on that model). No drivers or other software needed to be installed for MacOS, and I also print from iOS and Android without issues.

Could be worth checking out the SoftStep - a small board of pressure controllers that can work as MIDI controllers. I think they supply a USB to MIDI cable or an expander box if you're not hooking up to a computer. I think each pad is
