this is the default compaction method in omp now. afaik it’s exploiting the pricing structure of the big providers more than anything

i bet ur typing this on a pervert phone right now. i hear ur pervert computer does the same thing but faster. we should ban computers. this is not an exaggeration.

mortgage prepayment penalty fees are reasonably common and happen if you pay too much on it too early

I don’t understand how these are fundamentally different from the phone cameras that everyone points at everyone else already. holding a phone up isn’t exactly conspicuous at this point.

schools should probably ban them for the case above, but schools should probably ban phones as well. in the US at least there’s so expectation of privacy anywhere public and smart glasses are a tiny fraction of the doorbell cameras, security cameras, etc that are everywhere

it feels like we’re approaching a circlejerk level of being against smart glasses in general, which do have a ton of interesting use cases that aren’t recording related (but still require a camera for position tracking etc). the “pervert glasses” position is intentionally obtuse

never done it, but afaik it’s just normal hard wood ash in a barrel that you pour soft (traditionally rain) water over and the lye leaches out

I think we get some leaking from hackernews. when a project gets big there, people just post links here without the original context.

for anyone that it helps: picture tailscale at the app level without having to be in the same tailnet first

on top of not being about the kde everyone is thinking about, they’re also making mostly inconsequential changes. crazy misleading title here, one has to assume intentionally so

if you’re looking for something for desktop, systemd-analyze is quite nice. no automated fixes, but helps with finding the problems (biggest wins for me are normally things like waiting on secondary drives, or units waiting on network when they don’t need it, etc). the arch wiki page has some general advice

vaultwarden is already reasonably mature for server

probably not, I haven’t seen any other post mortems but the tanstack ones were only up for 20 minutes so really low chance. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were all a similar approach and that’s why they all happened at the same time

it was coming from the original package publisher. tanstack was cache poisoning via pr, so no account credentials were stolen but it was published as a normal update

I wish the desktop react native renderers took off. I definitely do prefer the react style of colocating everything + reactive state, and being able to swap different renderers for actually native feel doesn’t really seem like a goal for any maintained projects anymore. on that note, you could write your tui in react with ink or opentui if you want to go that route

dioxus does have a native renderer (in the not webview sense, it still draws it’s own components, but most of the options do). if you’re looking at rust already, iced seems pretty close to react style, and has a decent number of things written in it already. relm4 is a different style rust framework for gtk that you might like as well.

again not native appearance, but avalonia funcui can be pretty close to the react feel too if you’re open to f#

knowing the programming language you’re working in at a basic level is gatekeeping I’m ok with

semicolons? quotes? use a formatter and don’t think about it. I think js world has basically done this already.

const is simpler. why would I declare an array as let if I’m not reassigning? someone can look at it and know they don’t have to think about reassignment of the reference, just normal mutation. ts has the further readonly to describe the other type of mutation, don’t abuse let to mean that.

const arrow over named function? gets rid of all the legacy behaviors and apis. no arguments, consistent this, and no hoisting or accidental reassignment. the 2 places you should ever use named fn are generator or if you actually need this

gitea has had some organizational problems so a lot of people have been using forgejo instead, which is just a community fork of gitea plus some more features
