Just for the record, Arch USB ISO has arch-chroot command that does everything needed. So it’s quite easy to troubleshoot, when needed. Just mount what you need and arch-chroot there.

It was today when I first heard of it!

Using Arch for ~7 years or so! Both servers and desktops. Always just manually vimdiff’ed things.

I wanted one to run Linux as on a smartphone (with a battery), and to use the keyboard. So, without any hardware modifications. But it looks like it’s not cheap, even if I’d find it somewhere. So I gave up on the idea. Maybe, I’d just buy some tiny laptop for that.

Thanks for not much, I have never heard of it before.

Did anyone try CLI clients, like (neo)mutt for that? I expect it can be set up on a server (if we consider self-hosting) and do this job automatically. While all the AI thingy feels like magic, my practical experience shows that there are just some keywords or even just the sender, with which mails can be sorted.

Yeah, they did drop a missile without any explosives in Lviv. Just a piece of fucking metal. That’s certainly new. Was worth panicking for the US embassy.

I surely underestimated them. Next time they’d shoot some garbage from Moscow, I guess. Like rotten apples or a missile full of dead rats. They has to demonstrate they haven’t even started to fight with their full might.

Well, civilians is their primary target, and always was. I have some experience of living in Russia, some long time ago, so, back in 2022, I was genuinely surprised they have something to make war longer than a week or two. I thought everything was stolen. But turned out I just understood their culture and especially history not well enough. So, I’m not surprised about seeing donkeys in their attacks on the front lines. As, again, their primary target is us, civilians. Here, they improve their attacks, as I see it. But I cannot believe they can do anything new that we haven’t seen before. They tried everything already. Even nukes wouldn’t be as significant, only the damage is bigger, apparently.

Honestly, I just don’t believe Russia can attack with anything special and somehow surprise us. They demonstrated everything they could already. A significant attack is like an everyday event, isn’t it?

I’d love to learn more, never really worked with them. Is Tailwind much of improvement with these frameworks?

I wonder, just another rename, X → XXX, would do well, wouldn’t it?

That sounds too loud, what’s the actual meaning behind what they’re saying? To me, that looks like maybe they hired too many people assuming their business would only grow. That’s the delusion some Silicon Valley folks have, with the sort of VC culture. Perhaps they shouldn’t grow in employees (why are there employees in the first place?) and try to be sustainable instead. The whole project looks so flashy, but does it even need to grow?

And, forgot to add: what is 75% of employees? Were they tens? Were they a hundred? (Sounds absurd to me, but who knows.)

Edit: according to this HN comment, they fired 3 developers out of 4.

On a personal note, I’m not a fan. I used it in a couple of projects, and wasn’t sold on the idea of never ever learning CSS and make your classes not semantic at all. However, I think there might be cases where this approach makes sense. I just haven’t found it so far.

While I agree, I’d like Apple (and others) to make repairability better (or even exist), but as an owner of quite a lot of Apple tech, it’s very well made, usually. Until it breaks, obviously, but it breaks less than a random cheap brand. At least for me. Any other computer maker is rather unable to lock down the devices the same way. I bet they’d happily do so, if given the opportunity. Plenty of modern laptops with non-swappable memory and even SSDs.

And those are…

Excuse me everybody, I just wanted to intercept and say that if that was written as Bill fucking Gates, that would be so much funnier :)

Thank you for your position. While I appreciate the framework idea, and stated mission — in reality I don’t trust them, so I don’t mix the mission with them, the mission is valuable, them, I wouldn’t be so sure — I feel the same. I don’t want to support them now. It’s a complicated situation we’re in, regarding the state of the tech, but I don’t like this ‘we have to help them, just because we can unscrew their backpanel easily.’ The modules isn’t something I’m impressed with, I think that’s overthinking. I’d rather have a tiny laptop with nothing and a huge laptop with everything. Looks like Apple got this.

Yes, but jokes aside, it seems like you can find whatever you need for MacBooks from circa 2010 to 2012. At least, when I needed something, I could find it without issues.

You select the text and it magically is in this second (or actually first) clipboard. I have a habit of selecting the text I’m reading, so this selection is always something, and sometimes contains sensitive data. There were countless of situations when I was composing a long message, scrolling it and accidentally, not even noticing (it’s long already), pasted the contents. I hate this ‘feature’ and in general don’t understand who wants it and why. Disabling it would be a huge improvement for everyone, as those who need it usually know they need it, so there’s no difficulty in enabling it back.

Actually, modern Linux software not that much power hungry. In my opinion this computer is very valuable for the 24/7 use case. I have a laptop with broken screen, could be a decent server, but it looks like with the essential services that I have, Raspberry Pi is just ample. That’s not for everyone, I have a friend who needs much more, but this computer can run at least some basics. To me that’s (as I’ve mentioned the names already) network wide ad block, syncing my files, having some simple web services. I’m thinking of hosting Immich, I’d just dedicate a more powerful computer to that. Which I plan to turn off and on (perhaps even via Wake-on-LAN) when needed. Not that convenient, but manageable. So, I’d recommend to start with the services you think of essentials and see what it can handle.

It’s not super powerful. There’s no much sense to run a desktop on it. Its strong side being underpowered, it barely sips electricity. If you need a cheap desktop, there’s plenty of used hardware to fill that place.

I run it headless, with an SSD attached for storage (perhaps my power supply was underpowered, the HDD wasn’t very stable, the SSD is stable for me). I’m running: syncthing, Pi-Hole and Unbound, web server with many small sites and services I made for myself, and a huge number of bash scripts for personal automations. They do render my static websites, the local versions. Also it runs Tailscale. Perhaps I have something else there, need to check, those came to my head first.

Overall, not that you can run everything under the sun with this board, but it’s quite capable, actually. I love it that it’s the most energy efficient (or one of the most) among Raspberry Pis, and it can do a lot. Another board worked with a TV having Kodi box (I installed LibreELEC for it), it was pretty capable too. It is able to play 1080P H264 content easily. It’s not that impressive these days, but ten years ago it was pretty impressive.

Raspberry Pi 2B from 2015 or so. That’s my main server for personal things. I have DietPi installed on it. It’s pretty usable, if you know what you do. Or even if you don’t, you can use it quite efficiently too. DietPi allows you to easily install the primary projects. Those that are most popular.
