More like booking them for the availability and likely a fixed non-hurricane-panic price.

This is gold! HN Kino! Taking the hardest problem in the world, date checking, and casually bitflipping the hell out of it. Hats off man :D

This is completely false. Modern Nvidia cards on linux can barely get pixels on the screen and does not have power saving modes.

Then you're very welcome to write it if it's that easy /s

I have looked in to fixing a new but broken pc monitor that way but it would end up the same cost as a new monitor, at least in my case.

Personally I've been using KeePassXC with self hosted Nextcloud sync for many years and it works great on desktop, apart from minor merge conflicts when server or clients been offline for long. I haven't found a good solution for iOS but Keepassium and Minikeepass is OK for occasional logins. I think it might bee more of a Nextcloud issue on mobile.

I think it's totally insane to let a third party manage your passwords.

I use Steelseries ExactMouse to get rid of that odd acceleration curve. It works for any mouse brand and it still works on Mac OS 10.13, maybe newer OS'es too.

I don't know what that is but just having all html pages merged into one would be enough and super useful for me and my printing purposes, and probably good for web UX too. Keep up the good work mate

Nice guide! As a complete regex-dyslectic i didn't know the slash '/' could be used to make expressions more readable.

On another note, since this is supposed to be a book and all, is there a simple way to get this on one a single page and make it easier to print?

Learn swedish or norwegian first. Then get drunk and talk while you're eating. You're now speaking danish

Well they have already ran out and the big old companies have their own reserved ipv4 ranges. They even buy other tech dinosaurs for their reserved ipv4 blocks in the order of $10 per adress. [1]

Oh my god, this changes everything! CMD-tab focus to the wrong window has driven me nuts for ten years and this fixes it. I've just binded it to cmd-e since the ´´´ shortcut doesn't work on non-us keyboards

I've had a sci-fi-villain-hunch about this guy for a long time and this just takes the cake. This is straight out of Ex-Machina, except for the hot robots but who knows, maybe next year...
