I hadnt checked it out in a while, but it seems to support OPDS now which is nice, I can browse my ebook library remotely now

As a result of RISC-V existing, all x86 processors have ceased to exist or be produced.

Its quite a nice service. Host my own mail server quite happily on it. I don't have any anti incoming spam setup which is getting a little annoying though.

I kinda feel the same way.. I imagine games not having community servers and focusing heavily on rank/seasons etc makes it feel a lot more serious? Idk I used to find community on dedicated servers, it was part of the game, with in game text/voice chat, now the community exists entirely outside of it in discords etc.

Ubuntu was my first experience with linux and my first introduction to free software from around 2011, when I was 13. It changed the game for me, I ended up succeeding in my career so far quite significantly from the Ubuntu introduction to computing

I do wish the canonical hiring process was less goofy, as I think I'm qualified for roles there but I ended the process early years ago and now I don't seem to be under consideration since

Id like something like jmp.chat but self hosted, there are a good few USB modems that would let me do this, just all the software makes use of hosted phone number providers.

I think this is an incredibly cool project. I think it'd be neat if they did something like MNT do and ran a crowdfunding campaign to try get these some what more mass produced, though I dont get the impression the author is looking to run a business like that and mostly developed it for their own enjoyment.

Regardless though, it does feel like open hardware is getting a lot more attainable than it used to be and that is surely a good thing

I would like to use haskell or another functional language professionally.

I try them out (ocaml,haskell,clojure,etc) from time to time and think they're fairly interesting, but i struggle to figure out how to make bigger programs with them as I've never seen how you build up a code base with the tools they provide and with someone to review the code i produce and so never have any luck with jobs i've applied to.

On the flipside I never had too much trouble figuring out how to make things with Go, as it has so little going on and because it was the first language i worked with professionally for an extended period of time. I think that also leads me to trying to apply the same patterns because I know them even if they dont really work in the world of functional languages

Not sure what the point of this comment is, but I think i just want to experience the moment of mind opening-ness that people talk about when it comes to working with these kinds of languages on a really good team

I'm not terribly surprised. I use it but would describe it as incompetently put together as my bank app? maybe worse, it barley functions at all. I dont know how they managed it.

The demo video here is quite convincing, I'd seen paperwm before but not really understood the idea of it. May add this to my sway setup :)

I dont have much interest in LoRa, I do think an esp32 device like this but with a modem would be very cool for a simple hackable phone, sort of in the same vein as the tangara mp3 player.

This looks cool, been interested in learning more about compilers since I did the basics in college. Lots of things seem to focus on making interpreters and never make it to the code generation part so its nice to see that this features information about that.

Interesting, thanks. I'm quite hopeful to be hard drive free at some point in my NAS

I'd like to find some good quality but slow nvmes, I dont need super high speed for media serving but getting a lot of storage (4x4tb/2x8tb ~) is much more expensive than hard drives. Itd be nice to have a silent home server

99% invisible did a good episode on the loss of Indian vultures and its effects. I found it quite interesting.

A recluse like Kaczynski with the resources of someone like Elon Musk would be world or at very least American society levels of quite interesting

I really enjoyed the article :) Made it very understandable for me a person who struggled with some similar things in school.

Would really appreciate the inclusion of an RSS feed so I can continue to follow along!
