Very clean looking. Of course, the part that caught my eye is probably the least relevant. I've integrated robohash in a few places, so seeing it here was a treat. Is that just for the screenshots or is it part of the application?

I haven't used it in a while, but this was a big advantage of Pandora for me. With pandora, you start a 'station' with a few seed songs and as you like/dislike songs, it keeps refining the station. The downside to Pandor

As mentioned, GLAARG and others does them online. However I'd like to throw out that amateur exams are held all over the place, quite often. These are typically friendly events and is a good way to meet people that have been in the ho

But the nice thing about having a Razer mouse is that it lets you get local admin on any random computer just by plugging it in. https://twitter.com/j0nh4t/status/1429049506021138437?s=19

I'm a long-time user of Quiver and feel that it's just about perfect. It is MacOS only though, and I haven't found a suitable equivalent for Linux or Windows (work). However Joplin comes really close. If you're a fan of

I have enjoyed using PlanUML, but getting a local renderer for team use is a big lift. I switched to Mermaid-JS last year. Using mermaid, we can do a number of diagrams in Markdown code blocks. VSCode has a markdown preview enhanced that ca

I think this is great. And on a tangent, a few months ago I was searching "everywhere" to find a somewhat standard rest api query format. There's odata, but that was way too heavy. I don't know how popular jsonlogic itse

Right you are. In fact, I was thinking of the EdgeOS on EdgeRouter, and I was wrong there as well, since that is actually mips64. https://www.debian.org/ports/mips/

Not OP, but the Protectli is just hardware and you install your own OS. So it is running your own computer with "scripting and such", just a separate low-power, small footprint computer with dual NICs. This is good for managing ne

When a job change forced me onto a Windows environment, having that remote option in vscode is probably the biggest factor that let me keep that job. This was back on WSL1, which was horrible, so I ended up running a linux VM to get full do

I'm not a UX guy myself, but our team has a rule to use some form of indicator like the "i in a circle" or ? in a circle. These are always clickable, so if you see an "i" you can click it to get the pop-up. We do av

In a sense yes, but PinePhone is also focused on economically feasible for developers. The hardware may be solid, but the firmware and software on it still need a lot of work. It's a frustrating experience. Others mention freezes when

I saw a great Linux quote recently. I'm paraphrasing, but it goes like: "Linux gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot. If you didn't think you could shoot yourself with a rope, you should read the man page first.

I'd agree that if all you want is a portable dumb terminal, then go get a dumb terminal. Nothing more retro than an actual piece of gear from the 80s. In my case, I'm looking to dual-boot and run programs in the field. Most of tho

I was 100% impacted by this. I've used that barcode scanner app for pretty much forever. I can't be 100% certain, but it's one of the first apps I ever installed on my first android phone (around '08/'09). It w

I love this idea. In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, there was a software called "Reason". It was only mentioned a few times, but I always keep thinking back to it whenever we're in a planning meeting. >Reaso
