My favorite part of "low code" was the conciseness of conveying what the process was and the expected outcome.

Still the king but developing/testing/debugging group policy issues is a miserable experience.

I wish licensing restrictions weren't holding back more widespread adoption of qt wasm.

Ive found nomad to be a much simpler replacement for smaller scale deployments.

This is why any piece of automation that comes into my home is required to function without internet or an app, in its own private vlan.

IKEA remotes are inexpensive and work really well with a proper zigbee adapter and zigbee2mqtt. Home assistant you can build actions right from the web ui.

M series mac's are my dream c++ development machines. Just this week I was investigating some potential bugs in Qt's javascript engine and I was recompiling it from source across multiple tags to bisect. On my i9 mac I would compile Qt overnight, on my m3 pro it takes about 10 minutes, on battery, silently. Truly remarkable.

One time payment for affinity photo/designer and couldn't be happier not to deal with Adobe's subpar software and all that comes with it.

Interesting synchronicity of seeing this article. I just had an optometrist appointment this morning and my glasses prescription updated/renewed. The only medication I am on is Ozempic for weight management, ~8 months, lost ~40 lbs so far. My old prescription was -1.75 / -1.0 (about 5 years ago), and my new one is -0.5, -0.5. My optometrist said it was unusual but likely due to having blood glucose under control as it changes the blood pressure and shape of your eyes slightly.

Shokz OpenSwim Pro. Waited for years for these to come out. The jump from 4GB -> 32GB sounds great, until I found out that whatever decoder chip they are using doesnt support folders. So you are expected to put 32gb of mp3's on the device (since bluetooth doesnt work under water when swimming), and then navigate file by file. Insanity.

Lots of room for skin types to play here, I found that Astra blades were the least likely to nick and cause irritation. If I am in a rush I can even use them dry (with the grain only!).

Very interesting to see if they are successful, and/or if this type of maintainer load reducing could be adapted to something like ubuntu/debian where maintaining packages is quite time consuming.

Appears to be a replacement for gdm that is console based (picking and launching your graphical desktop environment). A neat idea, I don't think this has been done before.

I turn old mini pcs into airplay 2 receivers with https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync , using wired Ethernet multi room playback worked like a charm.

Debian is rock solid platform, I never have to tinker once they are setup. Depending on the speakers and what location I use USB dacs and speaker amps(these have gotten SO good in the last 5 years, topping, smsl etc). All of the pieces are interchangeable , flexible, and reusable.

I am curious if any of the termsync options can make neovim play nicely with mosh. My dream setup is to be able to spin up preconfigured dev environments in docker containers, and use blink shell on my iPad for on the go coding. Unfortunately mosh and neovim always end up with display corruption.
