artonge··on Odroid-C4
Armbian is providing good support for a broad range of boards.

Their CPU benchmarks indicates better performance for the C4 compared to the RPI4 though. Is it due to the A55 being more recent ?
artonge··on What does happiness at work mean?
You're right, pay check is one of the reason to work, and also one of the condition to be happy at work. But there is others, like: - work/life balance. - autonomy/work load balance. - acknowledgement of the work done by the company. The manager or else. - clear vision of what the company is doing and the role you have in it.

There is a lot more, and a lot of companies don't provide that to their employees.

There is a nice startup[0] that tries to bring happiness at work to other company. What is in for the company ? Better productivity of the employees and less turn over.

[0] Wittyfit. Full disclosure: I worked for them. They are not alone in the field, but I think they are the only one to have a scientific research based product.

Can someone share the reasons why systemd generate so much hate ?

I seems to me that it is quite useful and easy to use.

artonge··on OpenSwiftUI – An Open Source Re-Implementation of SwiftUI
I think this is just an API that must be connected to a graphical backend for each platform.

> The project's goal is to provide a platform-agnostic interface — without the generation of the graphical user interface.

> The rendering of graphical user interfaces can be implemented in platform specific (Linux, Windows, Embedded, …) projects.

artonge··on Nextcloud introduces social features, joins the fediverse
I think parent talk about nextcloud and their plugin documentation being pore and their slow sync client.

I agree with him, they put a lot of energy on non crucial features when a lot of their core features could be improved.

TL;DR: just another day in crypto world, market is very volatile. A IMF said crypto is dangerous for global financial system. A journalist try to make both events related and uses clickbait title...
artonge··on Ask HN: Online vote using blockcahain?
I don't see how it would be stupid. Timestamping would be an other way to check that my vote wasn't altered. But I guess I is not very useful in practice. The main advantage I was seeing in blockchain is that it's immutable and distributed. Is there some other systems that offer those features ?
artonge··on Ask HN: Online vote using blockcahain?
A guess you trust this system the same way you trust people from not looking in the urn after you put the envelop in. Or not altering the count when they open it. Do you have an example of failure like you said ?
artonge··on Ask HN: Online vote using blockcahain?
No, that would be terrible ! I see it this way : they give you a USB key containing a key (pub and private). It is not affiliated to you in any way. It's just generated and stored on the USB key. One problem I start to see is : how can you prevent somebody that has a key, but is not allowed to vote, from voting ? This could be done by keeping a record (mabay again on a blockchain) of the allowed keys. Therefore, each key would have an expirity date.
