Sorry but ...a Mini PC with foobar2000, remote controlled via phone/web and a monitor for the full screen cover and done, that's what I'd do.

If you can't predict what isn't worth saving it means it wasn't worth saving.

I login and use it a little different for work but I separate sessions and leave them open longer until I'm done and still everything clears when I close, sometimes I remove the checkbox but I clear at the end of the day.

Not just the history, I personally delete everything every time I close the browser, if something is worth saving I bookmark it or I make a .txt in Documents for later review. Also I pretty much don't login anywhere anyway.

Really dude? About India? South America in general, especially Brazil?

I traveled a lot and I love everywhere, everyone and everything buy there are some places that scam 24/7.

Oh now I get it, it's an Italian thing.

"Why the fuck did you add shit I didn't ask for?" or lol "Do as I ask, nothing more.. machine."

"Stop asking at the end, I'll ask what I need."

"Stop talking like you're human."

They can be very useful but it takes time to learn how to use them usefully. From what I learned it's all or mostly stuff you can already do but you can use an LLM to do it in 30 mins instead of 3 days.

Fun times.

eahm — Mon, 25 May 2026 18:22:55 +0000

Very nice client integrations indeed, tested a few weeks ago.

It'd be cool if they also could integrate my theme/s: https://rentry.co/sm47hd77, been perfecting it for years and it's the only one I'm willing to use tbh.

Suggestion:

They should change the font here: https://client.twistednet.org/cryptirc, can barely ready anything on iPhone.

Hacker's Manual 2025 error at page 29

eahm — Sat, 16 May 2026 22:30:40 +0000

This kind of stuff pisses me off, yesterday we went to B&N, I picked up this magazine because I was waiting for something and I noticed an error at page 29, unacceptable for a magazine that costs $30.

https://images2.imgbox.com/3c/4a/lyUvpQPL_o.png it shows Debian was released before Slackware, incorrect: Slackware = July 1993 and Debian = August 1993.

You can also double check here:

And here:

Etc.etc., who doesn't this stuff anyway come on.

Not gonna lie, some tables require way too much work, every software today wants you to be an engineer with 20+ years of some specific experience, what about just double click and let me play the damn game?

You might want to check this one https://archive.org/details/vpinball-x-73-space-cadet for Visual Pinball https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball. There are others that might be even better but JP's is the one that just works without installing and configuring a bunch of other software (https://youtube.com/results?search_query=JP%27s+Space+Cadet - https://youtu.be/UXfohCzilrQ).

Damn amazing how they are making these pinballs today.

More tables here too:

Awesome, FileZilla 3.70.0 RC3: 60-62MB/s

Ask HN: FileZilla/WinSCP Speed Comparison

eahm — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:14:18 +0000

I've noticed this in the RC1 changelog:

Changes in version 3.70.0 RC1 (2026-03-17):

SFTP support is now based on the fzssh library

..so I wanted to do some testing, I logged in to a VPS and downloaded one single 10GB file, here are the results (all the tests are made with pageant, pageant-openssh-mode and directly with the key, all same speeds):

FileZilla 3.70.0 RC1: 4.5MB/s

FileZilla 3.69.6: 60MB/s

WinSCP (SFTP): 19-20MB/s

WinSCP (SCP): 60MB/s

Wth is going on? Anyone noticed any difference/can test?

Thanks.
