Another one worth a look is ESPuino (also a german project). Custom PCBs are still available for that one afaik.

Re:You can run Git on object storage if you re-make packfiles on Saturday September 19, 2026 @05:52AM (#49764997)
I recently found https://github.com/enroute-sh/enroute which also does git on object storage

I found the idea of a git-proxy interesting where you start with proxying an existing forge and then later adopt the object storage backend

We're building software for agricultural logistics, from field to factory. A lot of harvest planning still happens over phone calls and spreadsheets, even though weather, queues, breakdowns, and capacity change throughout the day.

Good fit if you want to work on planning, dispatch, optimization, allocation, OR and you’re comfortable shipping production systems.

I'm also curious to see if we will see more "no drive zones".

We see this in other domains: I recently talked to someone from an asset inspection (think flying around bridges to check for fractures) company. They can't use DJI drones because of security concerns.

Careful though, you might end up like me and add more and more machines, because setting up new machine is very satisfying with nixos

A diff makes these kind of errors much easier to catch.

Or maybe someone from XEROX has a better idea how to catch subtly altered numbers?

Re:opencode: AI coding agent, built for the terminal on Sunday July 06, 2025 @08:38PM (#44485532)
specifically for working better with diffs, I can recommend tmux + lazygit with this keybinding for quickly opening a floating lazygit:

bind-key C-g display-popup -E -d "#{pane_current_path}" -xC -yC -w 80% -h 75% "lazygit"

not only does it allow you to see the diffs, but you can directly discard changes you don't want, stage, commit, etc.

This is still the norm in some places. When I was cycling through the Balkans, I was surprised how many people sit in public spaces, usually close to a kiosk, and play cards, throw dice, or just chatter

The layout is fully customizable. That being said I just stick with the default, works well for me.

By default F12 is on the lower layer "V" key.

Ultra-endurance cycling like the race you mentioned is fascinating. I once met a few contestants in a European bike race and drove alongside one. He said the best in the field sleep around 4 hours per night and do 500+ km per day.
I recently built a small, free analysis tool that takes public documentation git repos and evaluates the content against this framework:

The explanation is in the article. Tldr is for sync functions, the CPU is blocked, with async functions, once the await statement is reached, other stuff can be handled in between
