Holy wow — mine's 7 years old and I thought it was crazy. I still have the pacman logs from the first package installed. It has traveled to three different machines, three filesystems (ext4, btrf…

One avenue which doesn't require a lot of people/companies to participate, is carbon capture. Not only can it reduce the net emission, but it can even reverse the trend. One example is Space…

My Archlinux installer [1] uses fyne and I found it to be quite easy and straightforward to use. My use case is quite trivial though so not sure how that scales. [1]: https://github.com…

There seems to be a POC that attempts to load dynamically linked libraries on linux (and elsewhere on windows) without CGO: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/18296#iss…

I have read countless counter points to that (and some supporting it). Doesn't look that clear cut.

Weird ha? Get stressed: - Get a full on 80 hr/week job - Swim in cold water - Do HIIT - e.g. run like a lion is chasing you for a minute every day - Watch horror films - Drink coffee - Have sex…

If you improve CPU performance, you can compress memory with the leftover cycles. This is what I do on my RPi which allows me to run quite a few memory hungry processes at the cost of some CPU (which …

Hmm, no mention of GNU Parallel — that's my go-to replacement for xargs. It has numerous options to treat input as blocks of text, lines, etc and can even run in a distributed fashion over SSH.

Deadlines: perfectionism isn't an issue in itself, spending eternity achieving it, is. Pick a milestone (e.g. MVP of feature X) and a due date. Once you hit that milestone promptly, pick another …

The key to curb bad habits is to create friction, and doing so well in advance. When you're exhausted and you're out of will, you're not gonna take much action to avoid quick pleasures.…

> Here’s a paraphrased conversation I’m having way to often, costing me way too much time, keeping me from doing things that are way more important. Then don't have it! Set things up such that…

> If you deploy a hobby project in your life, you must maintain it. Forever. Perhaps your definition of hobby is different to mine, but hobby projects are exactly the kind you can abandon in a hear…

Be careful spending time writing software/firmware for chips that may disappear tomorrow. Cost of the chip itself isn't everything, in fact it's one of the least important things if you…

Every time I decide to build a site, frameworks just get in my way and piss me off with their shortsighted design decisions. Just finished putting https://subzo.com.au up with pure Golang,…

> That only works if v2 of the library is crazy enough to keep all of the v1 apis around as well. Otherwise, when I switch version the old import path stops working. Gradual upgrade, as in you can …

Fan boy? maybe. Informed? doesn't look like it: > this is redundant because the local go.mod file already has the semantic version of all dependencies tracked The whole point of having full ve…

Ah, I thought the name was familiar. They have a good zero trust reverse proxy that I deployed on k8s a few years back. https://www.pomerium.com/guides/kubernetes.html …

> Do you have a link to a fridge like that so I can imagine the concept better? Large camping fridges are as close as I have seen, but I'm sure someone's thought of one for domestic use. …

Fridges with top doors tend to lose lot less cool air when opened than the regular front door ones.

I suffer from hyperventilation syndrome and anything that brings my attention to my breathing (including wearing a mask) sets it off. I feel suffocated wearing a mask. I can get out of breath, have ta…

> People wear a sweater all the time I never do because I feel suffocated. > see a doctor Thanks for the unsolicited advice. I in fact have and have been told not to wear clothing that makes me …

Heat properly insulated spaces. I don’t want to walk around with piles of movement limiting and suffocating clothing inside my own living room. The problem is not what you heat up, it’s how well you i…

Traefik has been my go-to reverse proxy for quite a while now. The main advantages is its docker/k8s and native ACME support. You can configure services, config, routes, etc. via docker labels. W…

The good news is that when a practical fix is found to exclude non-Apple authorized tags from the network, it'll take a firmware update to deploy it, without any interventions.

> some very clever and interesting people Clever people value their time. When twitter reaches a large audience and has the lowest friction for sharing content, then that's what they use.
