old.reddit.com and Red Reader don't have infinite scroll. They are way better than www.reddit.com or the reddit app.

I wonder if fossil-scm.org could be adapted into a forum. It's in…

From a user perspective I have pretty high regard for Xenforo. I just expect the hammer to eventually fall like it does for all other non-FOSS software. So I'd hesitate before choosing it from the …

By the way I asked about the company location because some potential users are avoiding US companies for privacy reasons.

It's always good to have another alternative but we really need something completely FOSS.

> [@ialexpw said](/discussion/comment/211703/#Comment_211703): Normal pricing is below, they do BF deals though (both monthly & lifetime) and most of the time do a lifetime 100GB at 29.99 eur.…

It sounds like the github repo will stay open to community contributions so it's likely that there will at least be security fixes as needed. One of the things I like about this software is its rela…

Wow, good work by Hetzner, and what a hassle it must be on their end.

Hetzner_OL hasn't posted here since December 2022. I hope Katie and Lea are still keeping busy doing interesting…

Pandoc doesn't have that AI stuff but handles way more text formats.

Don't like discourse. The others are kind of ok, I think. Xenforo is what the big forums are mostly using, I think. I like Vanilla for small boards but the moderation tools are sort of flaky. I …

I'd like for it to be scalable, and easy to search (all the bikes by a given owner's phone, email or name).

Thanked by (1)bikegremlin
If the part about the bike owner viewing the page is optional, i.e. if it's ok for you to be the only user, then why have it online at all? Just have it on your local computer.

If the…

i will probbaly get some (I've been using the rp2040 version) but from my perspective the upgrades mostly aren't that important. the rp2040 is already quite overpowered for a microcontroller. The n…

At least in the US, GSM and 3G are both pretty near dead. It's LTE or 5G now. This "colo" notion sounds close to scamming-as-a-service if you're trying to do it at scale. For a one-off, it's easy …

Ublock origin still working fine on yt for me. Also newpipe and yt-dlp still work.

"Ping" originally referred to a sonar ping. You'd check whether something was near you underwater by sending a sonar pulse and listening for the reflection. The similar networking concept was named…

Don't forget the ESP32C3 which is on little IOT boards for under $5.

I got that email too, but couldn't understand how it is supposed to work. Is @Hetzner_OL around much these days? There is also a discussion thread on Hacker News. Things I'd be interested to know:…

Moto G Play is $100 new unlocked and comes with Android 12. I don't know of anything better in terms of hardware at that price. But, there is not official LineageOS support (yet), and Moto is not s…

Thanked by (3)huginn charleenk bikegremlin
Shouldn't we know better than "lifetime" deals for something like this? Hetzner Storagebox is around 2€/TB/mo so this pCloud at the 2TB level is like 70 months (~ 6 years) and the 10TB level is almo…

Woah Nelly. That is pretty similar to a system that cost $50K-ish a few years ago with 1TB of ram, that was used to compute 7 man chess endgame tablebases. There are some things that can't feasibly…

Solar power collectors, about 0.5 MW peak power from 2500m2, or maybe 125KW average. Put your DC underneath them.

It would be great if it could do 10 digits so it could handle a NANP phone number with area code.

I notice prgmr.com now redirects to tornadovps. No idea when that changed, if it was a name change, acquisition, or what. Also it uses Blesta on the front page now, rather than that cool ascii logo…

Always prefer self-hosting. "apt-get install gitit" is simplest way to have a self-hosted wiki. No database-- it uses git as the version control backend.

I doubt the OOM killer was involved in that crash. I had almost nothing running on the VM when I did the upgrade. Plus, I just did the same upgrade on a similarly configured 384MB VM and it didn't …

PLT is a totally different subject than PL software. The main post-2000 development I know of is homotopy type theory (HoTT). What is that? I don't know either, but there is a book about it at htt…

What does this actually do? Is it a replacement for WHMCS? What language is it written in? Thanks.

I've written a considerable amount of FOSS code. Some as a volunteer, but I got paid for some, so in that sense I've contributed a negative amount of money ;).
