Former Windows 11 user here. Microsoft operating systems have been my primary desktop since DOS 6.0, but the embedding of advertisements in Win11 drove to me finally try out Linux distributions, and CachyOS was the only one that stuck for me in terms of familiarity and performance. It's been my daily driver for 1.5 years now, and I've been extremely grateful for it.

Would you mind explaining what this looks like practice? Fellow ADHDer here!

I'm saying this in complete humor... but your comment reminds me of the infamous Dropbox annoucement comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863

Oh man, I've come across this person's blog before and I love it, not just because of the personalization/personality they've put into the site's design, but because of all of the random CLI/TUI-based tools they've developed. Examples:

- https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/projects/

Their github repos:

- https://github.com/mrusme

They even built a BBS-style reader client that supports Hacker News:

https://github.com/mrusme/neonmodem

I miss the days of the web being weird like this :-)

Ugh, can't believe they made this opt-in by default, and didn't even post the direct URLs to disable in their blog post.

To add on to your (already helpful!) instructions:

- Go to https://github.com/settings/copilot/features - Go to the "Privacy" section - Find: "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training" - Set to disabled

Hi! Thanks for offering an AMA here. I don't have a specific question, but I am interested in hearing about the general story of what it was like developing Docker, what the experience was like trying to build a business around it, and what you're up to these days in post-Docker life. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for being receptive to the feedback :-) I actually checked out your demo now because it didn't require a login, and was impressed by what I saw. Nice work here!

I haven't benchmarked anything other than the initial tests with Geekbench. That said, it subjectively felt "snappier"/faster in terms of UI speed with KDE Plasma than Kubuntu. I've been a happy CachyOS user since.

Interested Canadian here! Don't see your email on your profile, mind sharing a link as a reply here? Thanks!

+1 to that. As a user, I am tired of having to sign up for an account on a SaaS website or installing an app from Github, only to realize the UI isn't a good fit for me. This will usually result in me bouncing from the app website instead of trying it out.

Suggestion: have a non-login demo available on your website, and high-res screenshots/animed gif of the app in action on your Github repo.

> Do CachyOS optimizations actually make any difference whatsoever? I know they enable certain optimization flags whenever building software, but that doesn't directly equate to performance improvements unless you're actually benchmarking and testing it.

I switched from Windows 11 to Kubuntu a year ago, and then gave CachyOS a shot after hearing praise for it. I'm on a laptop with an AMD iGPU, and CachyOS's `znver4` optimized repos gave a significant bump on my Geekbench results:

(Note: these results are from almost a year ago though)

Lenovo Thinkpad P14s Gen4 AMD

- Windows 11: 2366 Single-Core Score, 10717 Multi-Core Score

- Kubuntu: 2496 Single-Core Score, 9878 Multi-Core Score

- CachyOS: 2569 Single-Core Score, 11563 Multi-Core Score

Repeat tests were essentially the same (Win11 23xx/107xx, Kubuntu 24xx/98xx, Cachy 25xx/115xx)

> This all started by trying to build an alt-protocol like Gemini or Gopher as a minimal writing and publishing experience.

I took the briefest of looks at the Gopher/Gemini/alt-publishing scene and found it interesting (though I went no further than surface level research). I'd be interested in hearing more about where this experimentation took you!

I love this idea. There are so many use-cases where friends or clients need a simple interface for building a quick wiki-style documentation site. I've often suggested static site generators desktop apps like Publii to them before, but even that can be a bit on the heavy-side in terms of their requirements.

First feature request: auto light/dark theme adjustment.

First bug report: when I tried adding authentication to a test site, I received this error:

  Failed to enable protection: Failed to execute 'atob' on 'Window': The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded.
Keep up the good work!

Nice! Dr. Horrible would be proud of this geeky tribute:

I have to agree... the linked Github files look like pretty generic config structures you'd find in projects, regardless of the tool or specification.

For the last month or so, the AUR package repositories for Arch Linux have been the target of DDoS attacks. Today, the repos are down again.

First they came for the Special Hats, but I did not speak out -- because I was hatless...
