News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I'm using the StarFive VisionFive 2 and its working quite well, there are debain and ubuntu images available as well as some other distributions, generally most of the boards features are working fine and there is a community around it actively improving software support.

For your requirements it might be a bit overkill in performance as its more in the neighborhood of a RasperryPi 3/4 in terms of size, power consumption and performance.

According to the website "localhost.run is completely free to use!"

Re:The myth of using Scala as a better Java on Thursday March 02, 2017 @01:55PM (#13777018)
Scala quicky got my favourite language. I really like handling data using functional and imutable concepts.

Great libraries for db access (slick) and json handling (sparay-json) were not mentioned in the article, I wonder why slick is not even mentioned in the comments, it is really nice!

Using scala with these and combined with akka and futures feels like a so natural way of programming for me.

Re:WhatsApp launches Status, an encrypted Snapchat Stories clone on Wednesday February 22, 2017 @11:59AM (#13706974)
I generally love Telegram, but what bothers me is that they don't end-to-end encrypt my messages. Sure they do in the "private"-mode but this is not really usable to me, as there is no desktop client and my messages are often not arriving as reliable as the normal ones...
As far as I can see it's just a txt file read with different voices...
I'm disappointed in Munichs' decision-makers in this case. Introducing linux was a great step towards a more open, secure and cost-effective platform to organize the city. The reasoning behind switching back to Microsoft is vague to me, the main factors seem general it-problems not related to linux, users wanting to open their .exe and windows programms (wouldn't be allowed with a Microsoft system as well due to security issues) and the fact Microsoft built a new shiny office.
Re:Whatever happened to Winamp? on Monday February 06, 2017 @03:26AM (#13577567)
I wonder why foobar2000 isn't mentioned more often. It's a great and customizable player. It replaced winamp for me (~2010).
Re:Ask HN: Do you keep a personal journal? on Thursday January 26, 2017 @12:02PM (#13493046)
I started a personal project for logging my life, first steps were location tracking but features like connecting my lastfm account, pictures taken and inserting notes will come.

The idea is having a mobile application for tracking to a self-hosted api and a web-client for having a feed (like facebook about myself).

This will be released open source once it's somewhat presentable.

Re:From OS X to Ubuntu on Tuesday January 10, 2017 @06:02AM (#13364023)
I'd say he should try, but with out to high expectations or financial investments.

Linux offers could work for people just wanting a working computer with less risk of viruses. People that don't care for their machine running Linux. Most other people interested are tech savvy and will compare other offerings as well or selfbuild.

Do you already have a Name/Website? Will you only offer Desktop and Server PCs?
