Great idea the modular.vimrc! Gotta implement it soon. It also helps with keeping the file clean and to the point when there's lot of stuff in it

The layout of this website makes the content barely readable. Reader mode fixes it though.

Cool idea. You should consider adding also some relevant patents. There's plenty of knowledge in there not captured by books.

This knowledge may be useful if we were to rebuild for example an airship (just naming one of your categories for example).

The market for cellular modules is very competitive. From a time to market point of view is cheaper and faster to reuse smartphone-grade socs instead of reinventing the wheel.

As far as I know, only u-blox is producing their own SoC (albeit for cat-m/nb-iot only) all the others are using existing solutions from Qualcomm and others.

This is only scratching the surface. I did not talk about certification which is another beast altogether.

+1 for tutanota.

It's also open source.

Still on android 7. What's wrong with android 10 that breaks syncthing?

Seconded. Syncthing is really useful for this scenario

How ia the traffic to your website measured? Is it based on the DNS records or what?

IKEA Markus chair. I can't recommend it enough.

2022 is the year of the linux phone!

I run unbound with dnssec on a raspberry pi to block domains. This list will be a fine addition to my collection. Sadly it is empty.

not everybody is wired for looking for satisfaction in the job they do. If your hobbies are what fuel you it is ok no to monetize them.

There's plenty of good advice in the comments already. I chimed in just to try taming what looks like an impostor syndrome ;)

You've been faster than me. Great suggestion. There's tons of free and high quality backgrounds on there. There are also apps for your favorite smartphone OS avaliable.

This gizmo looks quite good, considering that it was built from scraps!

Programming some sensor nodes for a custom IoT heating controller for my home.

Around the house there will be a bunch of sensors connected to the WiFi network, talking via MQTT to a raspberry pi. A few of them will control the heating system.

Temperature and humidity are logged and shown on a nice webpage.

"Joe said "cat proc cpuinfo". Scott wasn't getting it so Joe said "no.. no, type cat slash proc slash cpuinfo" and eventually got on the keyboard himself." This part really resonated with me. I always find it hard to tell commands to people. Anyway I never reach for their keyboard. I try to take the blame myself for not spelling out the command correcty, this way they don't feel mistaken and take a defensive stance.

Mainly as financial speculation. I'm genuinely curious about the answers to this question

Yeah I'm considering this option but I feel like it may be too complicated for single-person use

Why not also have a look at btrfs?

I'm quite comfortable with my NAS running debian and using btrfs-based RAID to manage the disks. Setting it up has been quite straightforward and it's been running for the last 8 years without breaking a sweat. For SOHO applications is more than enough.

Actually, according to recent testing by ArsTechinca [0] performance with RAID the topic is more complicated.

The testing is focused on ZFS but, quoting from the conclusion: If you're looking for raw, unbridled performance it's hard to argue against a properly-tuned pool of ZFS mirrors. RAID10 is the fastest per-disk conventional RAID topology in all metrics, and ZFS mirrors beat it resoundingly—sometimes by an order of magnitude—in every category tested, with the sole exception of 4KiB uncached reads.

I find some paragarphs in the article somewhat moving, especially the ones related to the polio epidemic. Sharing breath with another human and later witnessing her/his death must have been a daunting experience.

Just as a side note, moving your ssh server port from 22 to whatever may make your server unreachable under strict firewalls. If you are allowed to connect to some whitelisted ports then it's highly unlikely that port 64323 will be allowed.

Which is not actually a bad thing per se.

Those drivers do work better than their free/open-source counterpart but are hard to install (especially if secure boot is enabled) and do not play nice with the whole GNU/Linux ecosystem.

Very good points. Made me rethink about the whole GPL licensing model. It may be worth considering the WTFPL license and or the JSON license in the near future.

Very cool. You can also hang around with a charred cotton strip and throw sparks at it.

Does it run linux?

Thanks for the reference. I'm not looking for a job, it's just for scratching my own itch.

I definitely agree with you. Nonetheless lineageos/microg are a step in the right direction. No change will happen overnight. I hope more projects like this will pop out in the future.
