News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I guess because the defaults suits me better, and the configurability is exposed well and I don't have to load special tools or commands to change stuff.

I used to run complicated setups back in the days, with black/flux/openbox or even enlightenment (16), but now I don't really have the interest or time for tweaking DEs.

My first experience with KDE was the beta release that came with SuSE 5.2 in the late 90s. I still daily drive KDE, though very much has changed since then, it still is familiar.
Let's hope it doesn't autocorrect too much of the asm...

It's cool to resurrect Archie! I have fond memories of it. I love the ISP series you're doing.
Re:Brave Browser introduces vertical tabs on Friday June 02, 2023 @03:53AM (#36162360)
Vivaldi is great, but I've hidden the tab bar, and use the window panel instead. Then you get a nice tree view of tabs (nested, grouped by domain etc) and windows. Kind of treating my tabs as bookmarks, which is probably why it consumes a lot of memory :-)

I guess the last part is fixed in later chromium by hibernating tabs now?

Re:Show HN: gq – like jq or zq, but you use Go on Wednesday April 27, 2022 @01:23PM (#31182961)
This is cool and I agree about not needing to learn yet another language. I love jq, but I always have to look at the docs. I recently learned about ctrl-x-e (after 25 years of shell-use!) to edit the one-liners in $EDITOR, so verbose go code might actually work.

Depends on the desktop environment. I use xfce4-genmon-plugin, close enough?

Heh, are there any editors which don't support multi-column editing?
