Re:Docker Systems Status: Full Service Disruption on Monday October 20, 2025 @10:23AM (#45644236)
What does the "active" page sort by?
I'm exactly like this.

I have a OneWheel that I use to get around, and a JBL speaker. I legit listen to music in Publix isles, dancing, vibing, all day, every day.

I'm known around my neighborhood as "the speaker guy".

If I don't have music playing, I'm usually finger drumming/tapping/bobbing my head anyway.

Are they any free email services that allow you to use your own domain?

If a projects build system can't depend on python, that let's leave them in the dust, ffs..
Re:The xz attack shell script on Wednesday April 03, 2024 @06:34PM (#39924166)
Package managers that use git are less prone to this kinda of attack (goland, rust).
Re:On reddit: Someone in IT trolled me for over a decade on Tuesday March 12, 2024 @09:24AM (#39679180)
It's as real as any other fake story.

If a story is bombastic, it's safer to assume it's fake. Reddit incentivizes OPs to get engagement.

Yup! Well worth the 20 bucks a month!

Thanks for this!

I did the same! I'm so happy I did!
I'll never forget how confused I was when my HP printer kept printing ads, randomly.

Turns out, it was an official practice by HP.

I'll never use any of their products again.

7% of all humans that ever existed, are alive today.

We can afford a contraction.

I love seeing this hit HN every so often. It reminds me of just how hilarious us humans introduce complexity just everywhere.
Re:How will MIDI 2.0 change music? (2020) on Saturday October 30, 2021 @04:33PM (#29052075)
I don't know how it would be if they are switching from 8 bit to 32 bit.

I imagine most devices that come with MIDI 2.0 will have an option to run in either 1 or 2.

There will likely be some kind of npm at some point.
Re:Immutable Linux desktop with OpenSUSE and Snaps on Tuesday March 16, 2021 @09:57AM (#26476725)
If you are more comfortable with apt/Ubuntu/Debian, you could use Darch: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

There are also base images for Arch and Void.

Re:Immutable Linux desktop with OpenSUSE and Snaps on Tuesday March 16, 2021 @09:56AM (#26476715)
Checkout my pet project, Darch: https://godarch.com/

It is truly immutable. Here are my recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

Too early to call.

Wait until Typescript is properly supported.

Re:Raspberry Pi Server Mark III on Sunday December 20, 2020 @11:52AM (#25487570)
Pi's don't last as long as traditional hardware, but if you are running a self-healing cluster of machines, why wouldn't you use this for production environments?
Re:Bootstrap 5 Beta 1 on Monday December 07, 2020 @04:06PM (#25337531)
My rule of thumb: Always use jQuery (or nothing) unless there is an explicit need to upgrade to React/Angular/VUE.

Spoiler alert, there rarely is a need.

Re:A Modern JavaScript Tutorial on Monday December 07, 2020 @03:56PM (#25337392)
Yeah...

There was a big push for that a while back. The JavaScript community can be silly.
