I started with PHP many years ago for my side projects while at the university, then I switched to Python, but when I graduated there were only PHP jobs available so I took one because I had to. I was not happy with PHP, it was a pain to us

I had to replace the USB module on my FP3 because it couldn't charge my battery anymore. At first I tried to replace the battery but that didn't work, and I was afraid that the issue would be from the motherboard, but no I just ne

I've been writing a little hobby operating system for the past 3 years in Rust and my impression is that the language is fine for low level code. The language improved a lot over the past decade and I think it's ready to be used m

My personal laptop is a Thinkpad T440p from 2013 with a modern SSD. I use mostly the command line and a web browser on ArchLinux. For my usage it is just as fast as my modern work laptop! I also have a Thinkpad X200 from 2008 and this one f

I have a rack with a few old Dell PowerEdge R710 with dual Intel Xeon X5650 processors (6 cores 12 threads per CPU). I use them to test the changes on my chess engine in winter and they help keeping the house warm. They are very cheap. The

You bring an interesting point for Collapse OS. For Dusk OS it seems to be imagined for a period where old stuff will still be available, so there will be plenty of old computer screens or TVs around. I wonder how much power a teleprinter c

Same thing for me. I started to hear it at night when the room was quiet 7 years ago, and then progressively all the time. The first year was hard, I saw a few specialists who told me there was nothing to do about it. In the end I accepted

Ah, I heard about Wander before but when I looked into it I wasn't sure you could really see all the pictures from anywhere on Google Street View. Thanks!

Years ago I used such a map to travel to a few faraway places with a similar climate to discover ecosystems that felt close to my own and yet so weirdly different. A bit like an uncanny valley without the revulsion because it was a beautifu

I found that a good solution is to have an handful of ongoing projects so we can pause the current one when the motivation is low, have a little break, then see which one can be resumed after that. There's less pressure, it's more
