Well, Wayland forces client side decorations which I’ve never agreed with.

At least give them a zip or jazz drive!

It just seems to me that we should require data centers to pay for new capacity on the grid using 100% renewable energy.

That would keep regular citizens for having to pay for the grid expansion, would help clean up the grid and move it forward, and all that investment in wind and solar would help bring the cost of renewables down. It would be a win for everyone.

For some. But Alabama power has raised rates AGAIN to build another 2 gas plants because of data centers. My power bill has increased by 50% in the last 6 years.

What OS are you on? Virtual desktops on Mac and windows are just terrible. On Linux I’ve been using virtual desktops on Linux since the 90s and when I see my colleagues on Mac using a single desktop with 20 windows trying desperately to switch between windows I just shake my head.

I use dynamic virtual desktops and have a separate desktop for every task. That keeps me focused on that task, but also lets me easily jump to something different. I couldn’t imagine trying to be productive any other way.

If ‘—first-parent’ was the default way that git log worked, I don’t think we’d even be having this argument over how to merge branches.

In my opinion, the best strategy is to always use a merge commit, and then when viewing master, always use —first-parent which will ONLY show commits on master. This gives you:

• a very clean, linear history
• the ability to let people work in their branches in their own way (it is ok to merge master into your branch multiple times without rebasing)
• you can dig into the history of any branch if needed
• it makes it easy to backport changes as you can cherry-pick out the merge commit which contains everything.

The problem is just the default log view of git and tools.

Not just funding cuts, but it was heavily politicized and had its direction changed every 4 years. You can’t plan long term like that. It needs to be a government agency but not at the whim of the president or congress.

I am happy to hear that people say please and thank you. When Siri/Alexa came out, we taught the kids to always say please and thank you when addressing them. If you can be polite to an AI, then you can be polite to a human.

I expect in a patch release that nothing has changed and I can blindly update getting minor bug fixes and security fixes. In a minor release I expect to review the changes for configuration changes or any minor UI changes. For a major release I expect to read docs on how to upgrade and prepare backups and downtime.

But it isn’t that hard to create a signal account with the name of someone high in the US ranks and send a request to these people. They are too dumb to actually validate the key of the person.

Encryption can’t handle when the encrypt with a foe’s key and send that for the message.

It means GNU Image Manipulation Program.

I also recommend audio bookshelf but am using ShelfPlayer on iOS

The board needs to remove Elon today.

Of course it was. Niantic came out of Google with Ingress which was designed to collect data for Google!

How’s battery life?

I am also interested in an egpu but not for gaming, just for running local AI models. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Yes. Monitoring GitHub for releases is great (especially if the project posts change logs). Also, if you are a developer and need to monitor library updates for any deps you app might have, many of those sites also have rss feeds. For example: https://libraries.io/

I’m at my laptop all day for work so I use it on my laptop, desktop, and phone so syncing is important. Since it support Google reader api, there are a ton of different clients for it too.

I’ve also set my wife up with her own account and it makes sharing articles and feeds with her easy.

I’m a big self hoster and already have an environment set up for it. I don’t know if it is worth setting up servers and vpns and security just for rss.

I use self hosted FreshRSS. I has:

• news straight from the section I care about in chronological order order
• new blog updates
• music review updates
• Bandcamp releases from artists/labels I follow
• open source software releases I follow
• YouTube updates from channels I follow.
• etc

It is by far the best way to get updates about just the things you care about.

I was using freshrss which can grab the rad feed for a channel, but I’ve moved to tube archivist with a Jellyfin plugin. Now they are all predownloaded and just show up on my tv via Jellyfin app.

It’s a way better way to keep track of what you want to watch.
