Termius integrates TPM/Secure Enclave keys nicely on Windows Mac iOS etc as well, which is nice because then you can have a key on your phone (so if you lose your laptop you won’t get locked out of your servers)

I was about to say “first Microsoft service to reach zero 9s of uptime”, but then I realized, it’s Microsoft… GitHub is definitely not the first

Could even ask it to find recipes and then have it buy the ingredients needed for them next time it's doing your shopping!

What are you using for virtual files? I definitely found it to work much much better when I added Nextcloud through Gnome’s settings rather than the Nextcloud client

It no longer does.

- GPU is integrated into the SoC - Surprisingly, it is possible to plug a drive into a TB/USB port

…so what do you actually need PCIe for?

I think what ivl means is that the secondary-screen taskbars don’t have anything on them… just apps and a clock. So no tray, no quick settings, etc

Umm.. this feels like a better suited comment for another part of this thread. Federated Computer appears to offer the exact same service as OfficeEU - a SaaS/managed Nextcloud

Umm, I’m confused about this comment… the concept of a web app that gets saved into browser cache and then can be loaded and used while offline definitely isn’t new. See Photopea etc

It’s insane how many bad patches they’ve had recently though. I swear it didn’t used to happen this often

Claude Code on web is okay in the meantime if you want to set it loose but not on your own machine.

New comment by aprilnya in "Project Patchouli: Open-source electromagnetic drawing tablet hardware"

aprilnya — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 15:32:35 +0000

Regarding the last point, pompyboard is very much a tablet or pointing device meant only for enthusiast osu! players from what I understand. No artist in the world needs a 8KHz polling rate tablet let alone 1KHz. Tablets from other brands are much better suited for drawing. While the basic idea of a rectangle you put a pen on is the same for artists and osu! players, the more detailed requirements are basically opposites

Basically:

- Pen click is useless for osu! or can just be digital, while artists would want analog pressure

- Buttons on a pen are actively detrimental for osu! but very useful for artists

- Smoothing on a tablet is more detrimental for osu! the more of it there is but absolutely necessary for artists

- High polling rate is useless for artists (they would have input delay due to the smoothing they need either way) but very useful for osu!

- Big tablets are useless for osu! players as they typically only use a 5-15cm area while they are very useful for artists

I think the entire point of something like pompyboard is to make a tablet just for osu!, which doesn’t exist right now. Meanwhile for artists there is already a whole industry of tablets available for them

I wonder how this compares to Skip[1]? This seems to be focused entirely on Android, as opposed not making existing iOS SwiftUI code work on Android. I assume that might lead to better apps but any practical examples?
