Please, stop using "written in Rust" as some kind of advantage or killer feature.

They're selling it to investors. Population isn't their client.

This sounds more like a good excuse to go closed source. I feel that real reason might be revenue-related.

Building the Better Go Playground - https://goplay.tools

Android's terminal app is really slow and takes some time to boot comparing to Termux.

Also, the Terminal app is essentially a webview (as I understand, the reason is architectural).

Did oracle manage to circumvent 100k payment per H1B applicant?

Also, why they need to do H1B instead of just outsourcing abroad?

smetannik — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 01:23:00 +0000

IMO unlike WP, EmDash can he harder to host.

With WP you can find a plethora of cheap PHP hostings that offer WP preinstalled. If you need to tweak a theme - just download a .php file via FTP, tweak it and upload back.

No server management or restart is required.

One big potential benefit that EmDash has - every WP deployment is basically a honeypot.

This shouldn't be related to Wayland.

It works perfectly fine on Niri, Hyprland and other Wayland WMs.

What problem do you have?

New comment by smetannik in "Wired headphone sales are exploding"

smetannik — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 16:43:04 +0000

Back in the day when I was in school, I wanted to learn how to solder, so I started fixing my classmates headphones.

This "service" ended up to be quite popular - broken headphone wires were a very common problem.

I think the average lifespan of wireless headphones is definitely longer than that of wired ones.

New comment by smetannik in "Termux"

smetannik — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 14:26:16 +0000

Termius is SSH client. Termux is basically a terminal emulator + package manager. You can run Node, Rust, Claude Code locally on your phone.

As an example - I used it to do Rustlings every day I commute on a subway. NYC subways don't have mobile network coverage, so I can't just SSH there into a remote machine.

Yet another paid tool.

Leetcode wants subscription, NeetCode wants subscription, and now - yet another one thing.

The more MS pushing a product - the less people want to use it.
