I curate a list[1] of "FOSS tools to improve the Hacker News experience". HNReader has just been added to it.

Re:A Way to Manage Dotfiles on Wednesday May 12, 2021 @05:31PM (#27135385)
Files are tracked by a bare git repository, e.g. `~/.dotfiles`.

The trick is to use the combination of --git-dir and --work-tree git options. An alias can be defined to simplify the process: `alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'`.

`dotfiles` can be used as you would use `git`, e.g.:

- `dotfiles add <file>`

- `dotfiles commit [options]`

I have always used paper.

But there are some things I would like to improve, see [1].

Interesting idea. I'll keep that in mind.

You reminded me of Watchy[1] (which I completely forgot about). It is a good contender.

Phones are generally too bulky for my liking. I prefer to have something simple and light. And I care way less if it's stolen or lost.

Not exactly, I'm looking for something more minimalist.

Perfection.

> What would be the benefit of a "pager-like device" over it?

- Adding items remotely

- Automatic item sorting

- Pre-made lists

Re:Using a Pager in the 21st Century on Sunday May 02, 2021 @11:07AM (#27015915)
I would like to use a pager-like device as a grocery shopping list. But a pager isn't quite what I'm looking for (I think).

Basically, I need a small device that can fit in a pocket, with a long battery life, a simple display, and a few buttons. Bonus points if it's cheap and easily hackable.

What are the options?

Re:A curated list of FOSS tools to improve the Hacker News experience on Monday March 15, 2021 @06:06PM (#26469835)
The lack of a license on small projects is often an oversight. And anyway, when the authors are notified, they choose the first license they see --- often MIT.
Re:Use Streamdeck on Linux on Tuesday January 19, 2021 @11:52AM (#25835397)
I wonder if the Stream Deck is used in other areas besides streaming. I mean: can it become a must for other professions, e.g. software developers.
Re:DIY Stream Deck for broke people on Thursday August 06, 2020 @08:29AM (#24070316)
Not at all, it does not change how keys operate. It only listens to events, without modifying the original behaviour.
