Re:Resizing windows on macOS Tahoe – the saga continues on Friday February 13, 2026 @03:25AM (#47000332)
Altdrag doesn't work with scaling and is missing some other nice to haves, The Altsnap fork of it fixes this. Its one of the first things i install.
This is really neat, i wonder if this could be made into a typst plugin now so that you can create mermaid code blocks that turn into diagrams when rendered. The original mermaid can't be added to typst sadly but i bet this could.

they actually don't want futo grants anymore

> FUTO made a $40k donation to GrapheneOS supposedly with no strings attached. They ended up being unhappy with us not making content with them and promoting them.

Re:Xiaomi global bootloader unlock policy has changed on Thursday January 02, 2025 @08:34AM (#42574261)
my redmi note 9 has a small icon with a unlocked lock in the top middle on boot not much compared to a pixel though.

This seems like the perfect use-case for DwarFS : "DwarFS is a read-only file system with a focus on achieving very high compression ratios in particular for very redundant data."

PineTime doesn't seem to have that many sensors i'm guessing the author wanted more sensors than just a Accelerometer and Heart rate sensor

sadly you can only install grapheneos on pixels due to the strong security requirement grapheneos requires on devices for them to support it (like relocking the bootloader with a third party os installed) seems like xperia is supported by divestos though which is still a good alternative https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm https://divestos.org/pages/devices
you can also store the videos on plain r2 you just have to do a bit more manual work but its cheaper
I checked the go.mod and it seems to be importing a module named pebble by cockroachdb i assume that's where everything is stored

NextDNS does support creating a profile, you can just install that and it does the dns configs for you etc that method seemed to work fairly well for me.
Re:Show HN: G-win – .gcode parser written in Rust with winnow on Thursday October 31, 2024 @10:37AM (#42007358)
The test gcode in the repository adds almost 5mb to the crate size you might want to consider excluding[1] them

Re:Wasmer 5.0 on Wednesday October 30, 2024 @09:01AM (#41994348)
i did almost the exact same thing except i wanted the client to enforce the same logic as the server would without having to do api request on every action or having 2 implementations so i just compiled the library code to wasm and that way both the server and the client share the same logic
Re:Toasty, an Async ORM for Rust on Thursday October 24, 2024 @07:40AM (#41934551)
Looks well thought out i like that for the most part this seems faster/easier than rolling your own sql query mapping etc compared to the other solutions I've come across in rust
Re:Pumpkin: A Modern Minecraft server written in Rust on Wednesday October 16, 2024 @05:29AM (#41857169)
Minestom is not based on Kotlin, im guessing they went with a kotlin template instead. Minestom is a server implementation that doesn't use any Mojang code and by default doesn't do much for you but provides the utilities to add the things yourself.
If you use the android app you got to do it via the app ui instead of the web ui, the app ui will ask for permissions to a folder if you select it.
User secrets are a very nice feature especially cause you can give the secret store a name and use it across different projects
Do you mean timezones? if so it shouldn't be that hard to detect if there's no timezone and add it with your own code.
Re:How to Learn Rust in 2024 on Monday September 23, 2024 @09:59AM (#41626160)
would not say learning resources but the esp-idf-hal repo has a bunch of good examples on how to do specific things, it was pretty easy for me to use, although i had some prior rust knowledge https://github.com/esp-rs/esp-idf-hal/tree/master/examples
Re:Discord Reduced WebSocket Traffic by 40% on Sunday September 22, 2024 @07:28AM (#41616329)
Websockets don't support headers per spec, discord gets around this by using a query paramater though.
Re:Show HN: Build Your WSL Distro in Docker on Monday September 16, 2024 @02:46PM (#41559197)
fyi docker works perfectly fine in wsl on Ubuntu and other distro using the standard installation method on Linux, no docker desktop needed.

I'm pretty sure this is just a list not necessarily owned by Mozilla.
Would be awesome if they did im looking to get checked up again but the only company that does those lenses here is backed up by 3 months
