Uninen··on A Personal API
Simon Willisons Dogsheep is also a similar project: https://dogsheep.github.io/
Uninen··on Tract: A Hugo theme for ambitious documentation projects
I just configured VuePress ( https://vuepress.vuejs.org/ ) for our frontend project docs at work. Having statically built docs is great and having the ability to document your Vue code with Vue-enabled markdown is a great bonus.
Uninen··on Gitlab was down
> If your work relies on it, why rely on a free online product?

We're not using the free product, we're paying customers (using the hosted saas version of the product).

Uninen··on Gitlab was down
We use GitLab at work and I use it for personal projects as well, it has been very slow for several days now and they had downtime yesterday as well.

I don't mind the general sluggishness of the system that much (as I love the platform in general) but when you can't get your work (nor hobbies) done because of tools breaking, it gets really annoying really fast.

Uninen··on Bootstrap v4.4
After working with Tailwind, I’m very happy to not go back to any other traditional CSS framework.

The value of Bootstrap is within teams where CSS knowledge nor the uniqueness of your site is not the top prio. But if you want to build a personal (in the sense of unique) looking site with modern tooling, Tailwind is an awesome choice.

Uninen··on BBC Radio Programme about Terry Davis / TempleOS
His last video is really sad. https://youtu.be/oH41gGBVpkE
Uninen··on Moving towards a faster web
I’d appreciate if DuckDuckGo would implement this kind of speed badge to their search results. Never going to assume Google would even consider it as they sell the things that make sites slow in the first place.
Uninen··on Security Analysis of a Cheap Chinese IoT WiFi Camera
I'd be interested to know if these type of cheap cameras are safe to use after fixing / replacing the default firmware or does the hardware itself have some kind of backdoors to allow easy exploits even if the firmware is updated.
Uninen··on GE's smart light bulb reset process is a masterpiece of modern techno-insanity
> I wonder if this would be a good format for streaming, like the old days but global, with a live DJ and fans interacting live.

This is exactly why I've been working on a live streaming site for DJs and music lovers [1] where DJs can play whatever we like LIVE while also interacting with our listeners via a well-working chat (not those pesky shoutboxes most of radio stations seem to use). This differs from Twitch and other platforms being only focused on music and having lots of features for the DJs to engage and grow their fanbase.

I'm obviously biased but live streaming DJ sets and radio shows to a live international audience is very exciting and getting to listen proper oldskool DJs play awesome sets live feels always special. Internet FTW! :)

Uninen··on Google Cloud Is Down
They do have an internal ticket as well, but Gitlab.com is also hosted on Google, so... https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/issues/862
Uninen··on Google Cloud Is Down
They have a incident report page up at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RM3QnuJ4FPH10J3UrJS0T26d...
Uninen··on Free Dropbox Accounts Now Only Sync to Three Devices
I switched to Nextcloud about a year ago and I've been very happy.

Firstly, I now have as much disk I need, and secondly, the warm fuzzy feeling you get when you know your files are now in your own control :)

Uninen··on VS Code on a Remote Server
Remote interpreter support is something I've been waiting for a long time. No word since September on the timetable, though: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/79
Uninen··on A $33K robot barista serves 120 cups of coffee an hour
These would be good in bars and clubs for serving beer. The long beer queues are the worst.

Full disclosure: I'm a Finn.

Uninen··on Dropbox adds a device limit to free accounts
I've been using free Dropbox for a long time. After hitting my storage limits about year ago, I started learning about alternatives for the paid plans. Ended up with self hosted Nextcloud ( https://nextcloud.com/ ), which is open source. Been super happy with Nextcloud, would definitely recommend it for anyone who isn't fully happy with Dropbox.

The clients for macOS and iOS are not as polished as Dropbox and many apps use Dropbox integrations, but I've managed to find workarounds for everything except 1Password, which is why I'm currently looking for alternative (preferrably open source) solutions for it.

For me the self hosting is not a problem and there are several hosted options available as well. (For example: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/nextcloud )

Uninen··on Leaked Documents Reveal Facebook's Global War on Data Privacy Laws
Seems to be deleted now.
Uninen··on Ask HN: What podcast has been most influential on your life?
Making Sense (formerly Waking Up) by Sam Harris and Joe Rogan podcast have been most influential but Mindscape by Sean Carrol has risen to very top of my current favourites.
Uninen··on Ask HN: Recent sci-fi recommendations
I recently listened the audiobook version of Autonomous by Annalee Newitz, and liked it a lot. It's an interesting Robin Hood kind of a tale set in far future and told from two different perspectives of the same story.
Uninen··on Finland is scrapping plans to extend its basic income project
The article is a bit misleading since AFAIC there are no agreed plans yet on the next steps. The title implies that the project is totally cancelled, but all of the major political parties in Finland are proposing their own solutions for replacing it. Because of upcoming elections, this is a fairly hot topic.
Uninen··on Show HN: Convert screenshots of equations to LaTeX
I really appeciate the testimonials. All software deserves personality and a soul like this!
