Donckele··on Email from Jeff Bezos to employees
Thanks for the motivation:

Jeff”

Donckele··on Why I still Lisp

Donckele··on Open Source Smartwatch
I dont know what the notification features are with the stock firmware and TBH it is a hit and miss affair with all devices and you have to do plenty of research before buying. The device I quoted is ripe for hacking and currently the waspos firmware is a blank slate for anyone to create custom watch software.

Donckele··on Open Source Smartwatch

Donckele··on Open Source Smartwatch
I highly recommend the compatible Colmi P8 smartwatch with waspos https://github.com/daniel-thompson/wasp-os which enables you to write micropython with access to all device features. You can overwrite the stock firmware using bluetooth without having to open and solder wires.

Thats the steamiest HN has ever been! Watch out, that big dude dang might just ban your ass!
Donckele··on The Architecture of IMGZ
“Just make sure you never succeed.”

Dude, stop writing crap software (i remember that thing you did once where you pressed a button and shortly after had a kebab in your mouth) and write a novel instead. I think you would be a great short story SF author. No, scrub that, trashy romantic stories - the people love it and you’ve got the style.

Donckele··on I Built My Own Shitty Static Site Generator
