Be aware that receipts (or any thermal paper) are toxic and leech through your skin. I’m not sure how they affect cats, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend holding them longer than you need to.

Oh good, I’m glad we’re finding time for this as the global economy collapses.

Man pages are still not great on Linux. Very few examples with common use-cases and explanations. I shouldn’t need to visit the Arch wiki.

OpenBSD man pages are a delight in comparison, and really all you need to learn how to manage the system.

PebbleOS was awesome, though. Such a well thought out system for end-users, and it already has tons of apps. Developing for it (in C!) is also super easy because it has an amazing SDK.

It’s not stealing when billionaires do it.

I thought the art was lovely and laughed out loud (in public) at the joke. Thanks for sharing it!

Polish scrabble’s worst nightmare

At the risk of getting downvoted to oblivion, honest discussion. Obviously capitalism isn’t working in America. But in Russia, starting under Lenin, tons of people still suffered and died, and still do to this day, no? So is Lenin’s ideology really better than the US economic system, when either he failed to implement it, or he did and it still resulted in serious issues?

K-9 mail is literally Thunderbird. It’s been rebranded and taken over by Mozilla. They’re keeping the k-9 branding as its own (otherwise identical) app as a nostalgia token for the people that have used it for a long time.

Firefox automatically updates to install new privacy-abusing features like this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40974112. So getting all the settings right once isn’t enough—you need to be constantly vigilant.

Like you said, a fork is a much better option, since they take care of stripping out the user-hostile nonsense for you. I like Librewolf.

I’m switching to Librewolf. I don’t want ads in my browser.

I’m super picky with laptops and have a bunch. Thinkpads, Macbooks… Framework 13 AMD is my daily driver that I prefer over all of those. It runs brilliantly with NixOS. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

The challenge with messengers like Matrix and WhatsApp (and I assume sup, correct me if I’m wrong) is that they don’t encrypt the metadata like Signal’s sealed sender. Knowing exactly who you talk to and how frequently is a very juicy target for the government … And the government right now is orange Hitler and his ragtag team of muppets, so I trust that they’ll abuse whatever power and knowledge they have to the utmost.

Hi friend, this was just meant to be an introduction, as I get started blogging and sharing back some knowledge and lessons I learned along the way. I’ve never written a blog before (or much of anything!), and I’m sorry you didn’t find value in this.

I wasn’t intending to boast, but I can see how it came across. I just meant to say, “companies are trying to tell you that you need ‘XYZ’ to scale,” and at least at the size of business I ran, you didn’t need any fancy tech at all – we could have made do with a dead-simple setup: a single server running Go and SQLite. It’s something I wish I had known when I started.

I’ll take your feedback to heart and try to produce larger, more substantial posts to follow. Thanks for commenting.

Sounds like something a Scorpio would say…

You’re telling me no -f’s were given?

Don’t forget Tubular on Android

Since when is Deepfake Musk a bigger scammer than real Musk? The man’s been selling “full self-driving” upgrades to Teslas for years, and they’re no closer to “full self-driving” now than they were at the start. Surely real Musk has scammed far more people.

Curl comes to mind. Libcurl is at the foundation of almost all networking.
