Re:Apple introduces the new 14‑inch MacBook Pro with M6 on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @12:18AM (#50269303)
My M1 screen just cracked :( Debating to get it fixed (it’s a 32GB 2 TB machine). Crazy that I likely will spend 500€ to get a super old machine repaired just so au do not have to spend >3000€ for a similarly equipped new one.

I wanted to say, `scn` is waaaay to close to `svn`!

Re:Tiny $70 Xteink X3 e-reader puts Silicon Valley to shame on Monday September 07, 2026 @10:22AM (#49598804)
I charge mine every 3-4 months... (almost never). Was expecting this to be a problem for me, but it turned out I do not care.

Crosspoint is the way to go, imho. Together with the CrossX app (https://github.com/jtvargas/crosspoint-app) it's so nice! Nicely supports sending web articles as epubs onto the X3/X4 device (I use X3).

Yes, I like wanderer (http://wanderer.to/) a lot!

The difference is the planning, I'm building my tool around a collaborative use case. I'm often doing multi day bikepacking trips with my close friends. The planner supports real time collaboration, so multiple people can plan on the same route together.

Also for me it's an experiment in AI driven development (which I hope won't alienate people to much).

In fact they are called "Public GPS Traces" and can be enabled in the OSM layer inspector. I am not sure if anyone started distilling track recommendations from them yet though.

Here's a link that has traces enabled (aka layer "G"): https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.47166/13.40590&laye...

There's also a list of recent uploaded traces: https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces

I'm working on something that is best described as Komoot meets Mastodon. Self hostable and federated. It's pretty early, and the UX is pretty bare bones still.

If you're keen on checking it out you should be able to find it in my recent Github contributions, following the link in my profile.

OSM has a heatmap feature. Users can contribute tracks and feed into it:

The work is mysterious and important

Funny enough I’m (east) German and my first association was the Russian word “tovarisch” (meaning comrade or friend).

Wondering what Dr. Freud would say about that…

In a few days my domain `foodba.by` is expiring after I stopped transferring funds to Belarus after the role the country took during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Glad that side project never took of :-)

A set of 8 wooden dolls with build in speaker, CPU, Bluetooth and accelerometer.

Singing from a set of ~20 pre programmed songs they "perform" together. Also when you own an OP-1 field (not sure if the original also works) you can join as the conductor and make them sing your own composition (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pcp0au-IBY).

Last but not least, this time the price point does also not disappoint: 249€ per doll.
