That's very likely the reason they've not bothered with a Linux client yet. I'd bet the typical Linux user has a hell of a lot more data than the typical Windows one. I use B2/restic and only selectively backup things th

I remember when we started using it at work, was the first time I'd seen the term, and then seeing it everywhere esp. on HN.

Something needed to be done though. I use LibreOffice every few weeks, they still use the toolbar UI by default, and it's faster to google where an option is than to go hunting for it. As a dev I'd love a ctrl+p sublime style sear

Aghh, I have (had?) a project that relied on downloading kindlegen as part of the CI/CD step. I just downloaded it from Amazon each time. I doubt I have a copy of it somewhere. Does anyone have / know of a copy of kindlegen for Li

I publish a CLI app for many platforms, including osx, on GitHub. Using the cross-compile feature of Go it just spits out a binary that Macs can run from a Linux build host. I don't own a Mac so don't see what my users do. Does th

Ah yes, that's the one. By the time I need to do the same again I'll have definitely forgotten again!

I needed the tool to install the tool. It ships as a `.gz` file. The standard `tar zxvf cheat-linux-amd64.gz` doesn't work. Tried `7z x cheat-linux-amd64.gz` which works.

We buy Lenovo ThinkPads for work. We pay a bit more (not that much, like £50 a laptop I think) for the warranty package. When something goes wrong they send a tech out who repairs it onsite. More minor things like hard drive issues they jus

I do too! Much healthier when multiple projects are tackling a problem from multiple perspectives. Your write-up has already shown both projects benefiting. I wouldn't have heard about this space at all without this article. I'm l

Not tried anything like this before: looking at TinyPilot and Pi-KVM which one should I use? I'm happy doing some soldering. Is there anything that TinyPilot has that Pi-KVM doesn't? Has Pi-KVM added support for the HDMI dongle yo

Aha, place trust in the site to label their cookies correctly? I see you've covered that with penalising sites who mislabel. Who maintains this list? If it's the browser vendor remember which company owns the largest share in this

How can a browser differentiate between a first-party cookie needed for login and a first-party cookie for tracking? It's legal to use cookies for behaviour such as login which is necessary but you need consent for tracking. If a brows

Very nice, really like this visual style. Was a bit disappointed that the Italy and US maps were just PNGs. Can these not be rendered in browser?

I'm in quite a small niche: tiling window managers. When there's only one window open it takes 100% width and height. Every app I use other than some websites handles this extra space well. You can reduce it by making real or fake

FastMail can pull from gmail. My account pulls from all emails I use minus work and can send on those addresses so. It also supports having a different signature depending on which address I'm sending from. See https://www.f

Neat, could see myself using this. Couple of things: - After placing a timeslot I went to drag it up and down. Instead it created another timeslot within the first one. Having used Google calendar a lot I kept subconsciously trying this: h

Both of the GUI's I've used: Kraken and now Sublime Merge work very well in parallel with the CLI. I just have a terminal open next to the GUI and switch between them depending on what I'm doing. Much rather not have a termin

Having used these systems in theatres/live events while I was at Uni I fully agree. These systems are amazing. The reason is very similar to landlines. A dedicated board in each station that shares three copper lines with every other s

Our product team is mostly Mac, but avoid using Mac only software as they need to interop with people on other OSes, plus the lock-in factor.

What is with the insistence of (in-paragraph) hard line breaks on documents still? I put this page into Firefox's reader mode and I get lines breaking all over the place as it's now got a mix of soft and hard line breaks. Should p

Did not know, installed it awhile ago and given the effort needed haven't touched it since. There seems to be a installer script ( https://github.com/mafredri/vyatta-wireguard-installer ) that will persist the deb b

Can attest to wireguard being simple once you know it but horrible to get working the first time. I did, however, make it harder for myself by setting it up on a Unifi gateway. Where every push of an invalid config would put the gateway in

No writeup, but have published a 'serverless' Kindle dictionary using a similar method. This is for reading the Game of Thrones books to improve the x-ray feature. Instead of Gitbook it's just a Jekyll site with some Liquid t

We integrate with a lot of third parties with varying levels of legacy conversion required to do so. At least one still stores years as two digit numbers. This is the payments industry.
