I mean, this strongly has to depend on what kind of software you are developing. I don't know a single developer who primarily uses Windows. Literally everyone around me uses Linux for development work (and a large portion of them also use Linux for their personal machines).

Oil is how Russia funds their war-machine. Bombing refineries makes it harder and less sustainable to keep the war going. It's not about making civilians suffer when you literally need to pressure the enemy into stopping the war by blowing up their infrastructure.

This statement is very uninformed. Other sources are intermittent, nuclear energy is not. The problem about many countries not being able to produce fuel rods themselves is true, but the exact same applies to other energy sources. Most nations depend on very few other nations for imports of oil gas etc.

Nuclear power plants only have a high upfront cost, which is compensated by their long lifetime of 60-100 years. Other energy sources also have high upfront production costs + you need to spend additional money on infrastructure for batteries/storage.

I also don't understand your argument on military targets. A NPP is a target the sane way a solar park, wind-park, geothermal facility or whatever would be a target. And to add to that, wile they are of course not indestrctible they are extremely robustly built. You can literally fly an airplane into them and it wouldnt result in a meltdown.. I do agree on your point on decentralization, yes.

Yes. LineageOS is an insecure mess.

You are also rocking a bunch of security vulnerabilities then, because this thing is EOL for a long time.

I hope one day we can have the same thing for the helix editor.

I'd recommend just getting a piblade and mounting them...

You need secure hardware to have secure software.

I wish it would have support for Zigbee so I can pair it with other open data aggregation systems like Home Assistant. AirGradient, another cool air quality monitor, for example, does not have this.

Interesting, but I wonder what does this offer that typst doesn't?

Looks like the Regal Ancestor Spirit from Elden Ring, lol.

It shouldn't affect European customers. After all, framework is based in Taiwan and there are no tariffs for european customers in that scenario.

The UI looks nice, but feature wise, I think I would rather go with Firefly III. It is a lot more complete.

Looks very interesting to me. There are a couple of features that are especially important to me.

- Good accuracy sleep tracking

- GPS ( I know this uses up a lot of battery but could be off by default)

- Self-hostable servers. (I'm a very privacy conscious person, and also I don't want to be bound to an ecosystem that might disappear one day)

I'm gonna keep an eye on this project. It really looks very interesting. I hope it gets far.

Self-hosted FreshRSS. Simple and reliable. It just works.

xvfLJfx9 — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 18:48:09 +0000

For me it is the excellent tooling. Great package management, good compiler errors, automatic formatting and enforcing if guidelines etc.

You can't lol. How do you wanna restore a blown fuse on nanometer level INSIDE the GPU die. Its simply not possible.

By the way, AMD also uses fuse blowing if you e.g. overclock some of their CPUs to mark them as warranty voided. They give you a warning in the BIOS and if you resume a fuse inside the CPU gets blown that will permanently indicate that the CPU has been used for overclocking (and thus remove the warranty)

This would be awesome, if it can be selfhosted. I work with sensitive documents I can't upload to a third party.
