Re:TempleOS on Friday May 08, 2020 @07:49AM (#23113686)
Some time ago I published four small articles[1] about templeOS. Unfortunately I had less time to deal with this OS. I can only guess that you should have a look at this OS. If you ignore all the religious information you can experiment a lot. Even though Terry was very ill, I have an incredible respect for what he did. There are not many people who have put their own OS on its feet and even implemented very unusual ideas of their own. All this running on ring 0 is pretty exciting.

Re:Ask HN: Is RSS dead? on Friday March 06, 2020 @02:06AM (#22501550)
I've given up RSS. Until the end of the year 2019 I still had a RSS.xml file which I updated by hand, but eventually I got too much work. The main reason was not that RSS is "dead" but the old and cumbersome syntax. I cannot get used to XML. Another reason is that browsers have started not to support RSS anymore. I have never used a reader, but rather read RSS in the browser than some kind of minimalist blog. It is difficult to say if RSS is dead, but I have the "subjective" feeling that less and less people implement RSS in their projects. In my opinion, RSS should be completely revised, not only in concept but also in syntax.
Re:Japanese woman confirmed as coronavirus case for second time on Thursday February 27, 2020 @12:29AM (#22430780)
I've seen this many times in the last few weeks. Can people please stop copying and pasting individual sentences of an article out of the actual context of the article and posting them in the comments. Even without a comment of their own. This way the article cannot be viewed objectively and that is also the reason why misinformation is spread. We are not in other "social communities" here. Thank you.

Re:Proton 5.0, a package to run Windows games on Linux on Saturday February 08, 2020 @05:02PM (#22278749)
For me as a Linux only user, Proton is an incredible relief. I have all my games on Steam and can turn on Proton with a checkbox. I often use it to play old classics like The Eldar Scrolls Morrowind or Oblivion. For me Proton is a gamechanger, because a few years ago I had a second laptop running Windows and I played my games on it. I haven't had that for three years.
Re:Luhmann's Zettelkasten on Saturday January 18, 2020 @03:38PM (#22086995)
I used the Zkn3[1] software for a while, but unfortunately it is not updated anymore. Also the software quickly reaches its performance limits with many entries. Nevertheless it is worth a look, if you want to see the concept as software.

Which is your (daily) favourite RSS feed?

In the last few months I started reading RSS feeds again. Unfortunately I only have three in my reader. My focus is on programming, electrical engineering, science and computer science. Hereby I ask you what your favorite RSS feeds are, whose authors post daily. Please do not use feeds from popular magazines like Techcrunch or Gizmodo etc.
