I forget the exact context but I recall an Ubuntu dev stating they have more users of the Firefox snap alone than trendy distros have entire users. I think it’s worth keeping that in mind with all the…

I think Supermicro does some production domestically.

I believe that was a reaction to the global chip shortage during COVID. An investment in domestic chip production capabilities not a bailout for bad moves. Intel was looking bad but not the dire state…

Yes.

Okay? Can we let other countries sort out their own political issues without our meddling?

I’m pretty used to dropping into an HN thread about Matrix and thinking “what FUD is Arathorn going to need to debunk this time”. Sucks tech communities are so toxic, thanks for working hard makin…

The shoddy QC in Pixel devices is bad enough I only recommend Sammy flagships to my Android friends. Doesn't feel like a great choice either with all the adware tbh.

My least favorite Teams markdown idiosyncrasy is using (foobar) for emoji search instead of :foobar:

iSH sort of works as well as BlinkSSH for remote clients.

Aren't there some ideologically driven decisions to make proprietary extensions harder/impossible?

The current FreeBSD version the hacker displayed was from around the time of the sale so that tracks.

You can even make a Mac SE/30 "from scratch" - it's mind blowing how many PCBs and chips people have made for retro computing. https://youtu.be/zc3sPoqOFG8?si=iIam…

FYI- you can find 32GB DDR4 SODIMMs that’ll work with the x260 :D

That’s a good one. Perhaps Google Docs is the pinnacle of office suites.

It is interesting seeing Office suites from the 90s and wondering what really needed improved. Google Docs pioneering “auto saving” in the cloud is the only one I can think of.

I use NFC for all my payments minus bars and restaurants. (NE USA) I also switched all my door locks to use Apple Home Key which is a fun party trick.

I've never had to pay Namecheap extra for WHOIS protection.

I update somewhat promptly, often using automatic updates and stop buying manufacturers that push bad updates.

I find telegram is amazing for meeting people you don’t already know, especially in group chats or for having slightly more anonymity. Signal is great if you already know everyone you’re talking with …

I reached out to a person on Gemini in 2021 and we've spoken basically every day since. You never know what kind of connections are out there unless you try.

When I was working the polls some months ago I was in an unusually low signal area and my phone ended up completely dying (not had that happen in a decade probably) due to Tailscale using 50% of my ba…

When I was trying to replace Docker with rootless Podman on Linux I had enough hiccups there I just scrapped it.

When I was investigating jails it seemed like the building blocks were there but any project to make a Docker-esque solution got abandoned after some time.

OP

I’m paying $59.95 for symmetric 1Gbps in Pittsburgh and my only complaint is the lack of IPv6. It’s absolutely rock solid.

Once a full moon maybe? There's one tonight.

The FAA has an ongoing class action lawsuit where they discriminated against qualified candidates on the basis of race using a newly implemented “biographical questionnaire” https://www.tra…

I quite like places like /r/HardwareSwap or the like.
