But iTerm2 supports imgcat which lets you just dump full images into the terminal output.

I use Nix exactly because it doesn't allow installing things at runtime. This keeps me from hitting surprises where the runtime environment changes from under me. Containers can partially solve this problem as well but have their own usability issues.

Nowadays I start every project with `nix flake init --template templates#utils-generic`. And put everything in that related to the project. I even had some projects where I had to put 'ssh' as a pinned package as it was used in some scripting and the default macOS and Linux versions accepted different flags.

I also do love that I can do something like `nix run nixpkgs#nmap` on any machine I'm on to instantly run a program with worrying where to get it from. I also use this feature in some of our projects so you can click a link in the admin web interface which is a 'command url' for iTerm2[0] like: `nix run gitlab.com/example/example/v1.0 -- test http://example.com` which will prompt to run that specific version of the command in your terminal, without have to checkout the source repo. In this case it is to rerun specific task locally for debugging purposes.

Pip-tools+requirements.txt helped me survive the past few years. I also never thought I needed uv, but after all the talk about it I gave it a spin and never want back. It’s just so blazing fast en convenient.

I find it very easy to avoid the AI feature in every day Zed usage. Sometimes they do come in handy though. But nog often.

I have to try out the debugger yet. However I share your sentiment but for the Git feature. The basics are there but it is just not complete yet to fully replace my current git workflow. Hope they keep focus on that as well.

I have a mid 2015 Macbook Pro 15", also with OpenCore. Running just fine. No issues with Safari and Cloudflake. Only thing is the battery was mostly dead. I replaced it with a iFixit diy battery kit, but that one died completely after just 2 years (out of warranty of course). Probably the controller board, as the cells were nowhere near empty. Now I have the choice to replace it with a cheap battery from unknown source or yet another iFixit one which costs almost the price of this laptop second hand. But I have lost trust in this iFixit product as others seem to have the same problem. Just sucks to have perfectly fine hardware locked behind another expensive battery repair.

There is already a paid alternative, Orbstack, for macOS which puts Docker for Mac to shame in terms of usability, features and performance. And then there are open alternatives like Colima.

A few times is still my favorite way to push a cpu to max temperature for testing. Used it a lot to detect faulty Core 2 Duo MacBook back in the day. They would short circuit some CPU sensor due to thermal expansion or melting of the wire insulation. Yes was an easy way to get the CPU’s hot enough.

At least for Kagi they seem to working on solution[0]. But Reddit seems to be fighting back by translating server side so it's no longer detectable.

Doesn't this kind of defeat the purpose of MFA in that you now have both factors within the same application?

Apple also sells a wireless keyboard with touchid integrated. Works great. Especially if you also set pam to use touchid for sudo. They’re not cheap though.

I've ran K3s on a couple of Raspberry Pi's as a homelab in the past. It's lightweight and ran nice for a few years, but even so, one Pi was always dedicated as controller, which seemed like a waste.

Recently I switched my entire setup (few Pi's, NAS and VM's) to NixOS. With Colmena[0] I can manage/update all hosts from one directory with a single command.

Kubernetes was a lot of fun, especially the declarative nature of it. But for small setups, where you are still managing the plumbing (OS, networking, firewall, hardening, etc) yourself, you still need some configuration management. Might as well put the rest of your stuff in there also.

Do you have a source for this? Because all I know is that this was an April fools joke from last year. I'm curious of the EU is now actually doing this.

Congrats. I missed the HN post, but I found your game through https://lemmy.zip/c/dailygames.

Glad to hear you will still be making the puzzles yourselves.

There is one point of feedback and it's that I would like to have a native keyboard on iOS instead of a virtual one. For the rest this game is great.

I went into Rocksmith because of this promise and for me it worked out well. Though it did not greatly improve my guitar playing skills beyond some of the basics, I do enjoy that I can interact in some way with the music that I like. It's like whistling along with your favourite song but with your hands, so the experience is much more engaging and it's feels more rewarding than guitar hero as the sound that I'm making sound a lot more like music than that clicking of buttons.

Nowadays they have a subscription service, I don't know what the quality of that is. But I mostly still play on the "2014 remastered" edition with a "real tone cable" on macOS, but I think they updated that and you can play with any "audio interface" device you like. There is also the customsforge library for unofficial songs, but quality varies.

Between Rocksmith and Youtube tutorials, playing along with my favourite songs is the most fun I can get out off playing guitar that my skill level and time investment allows. I'll never play in a band or make a decent sounding song, but enjoying and getting enveloped by music is good enough.

Good to hear. I’m self employed now and working on some nice projects. I’ll probably never escape this industry, to much fun stuff to learn still :)

@wildekek, hi Willem. Nice seeing you here. Still in the mail business?

Seems like this Home Connect stuff does support local only/no cloud mode[0]. I recently discovered my parent's kitchen hardware is all Bosch with Home Connect and was afraid I had to run it through their cloud. But there seems to be some decent effort done in getting it to work with Home Assistant[1].

There is this one movie but it's set on Mars instead (The Martian). And I think the series For all Mankind also had an episode with this kind of plot.

My IKEA desk has this net under it, it’s so simple and just works. No tedious mucking about with screws or cable guides.

> Look at movies set during various decades;

In the 90s a lot of movies had accompanying songs that would go into the charts. I remember Titanic, Bond movies, Godzilla, gangsters paradise, some Bryan Adam’s and Aerosmith songs.

I don’t know if that is still the case today as I listen mostly listen my own Spotify playlists or ”classic” radio stations (meaning 90s/00s music nowadays).

I can imagine it was an effect of the commercial music industry at the time and these songs were heavily subsidized by the movie’s marketing budget to get into the charts.

Bricking a device does make it really stable and bugfree. Sadly also featureless.

I recently switched our Python projects to uv and it love it. It just does everything and is really fast (this just cannot be underestimated in what it means for your workflow).

I've tried almost every Python packaging solution under the sun in the past 15 years but they all had their problems. Finally I just stuck with pip/pip-tools and plain venv's but strung together with a complicated Makefile to optimize the entire workflow for iteration speed (rebuilding .txt files when .in requirements changes, rebuilding venv if requirements change, etc). I've been able to reduce it to basically one Make target calling uv to do it all.

I've been using Zed for a while now as it is the only editor that could replace TextMate for me in terms of having a native macOS feel but that does incorporate more IDE like features TextMate misses (like lsp and treesitter).

I welcome proper Git support, because it would mean fewer switches between editor and terminal (also the in IDE terminal just doesn't work). I hope they nailed it with the small details like they do for most of the application. I've been using GitX in the past and recently Lazygit as my main Git interface. Especially the line by line staging akin to `git add -p` would be welcome, but I read they are not quiet there yet?

I'm curious if it'l allow a workflow where amending to previous commits is easy. This workflow is really easy in Lazygit (using fixups and autosquash under the hood) and makes organising code into separate topic commits without much additional effort. And since Zed is all on the AI train they might incorporate something like git-absorb to automagically amend small changes into the commits they are related to.

I'd also love if they incorporate a proper overview of the Git tree, currently `tig --all` is my goto for that. Or one that allows you to drag and drop branches and rebases previews like Ungit (https://youtu.be/hkBVAi3oKvo?t=236) as that was the point that Git really started to make sense for me.

And what's more. Where do the requests for autocomplete/suggestions get sent? Because the Kagi plugin works by redirecting the result page. So whilst typing the search question in the address bar of the browser requests are made to autocomplete/suggest the search question. These are still sent to Google (or whichever search engine selected).

There is a mythbusters episode about exactly this that is definitely worth the watch.

I wonder if this is also the reason freezing a broken harddrive makes it temporary work again. I have used this trick a few times with success. Either keeping the disk in the freezer with the cable to the outside or putting a bottle or frozen liquid on top of it after it has been in the freezer (but beware of condensation).

I remember using this decades ago. The user friendliness of Linux combined with the stability of windows. It did beat dual booting though. Worked like a charm.
