There's a value in keeping using a non-WebKit browser.
husam212··on Perma.cc – Permanent Link Service
It's really annoying that domain is not the main one, it's so much better!
husam212··on Ask HN: Recommendations for a Linux Distro and Laptop?
I stopped distro hopping after switching to Arch (with Sway WM), now my same installation is hopping across laptops instead.

It might not be friendly for new Linux users but I feel in control using it and keep it maintained and clean easily.

I usually recommend Vanilla OS for non-tech savvy people, in case you're looking for something that just works. It will probably become limiting for you after a while since you like tinkering.

I would rather get a cheap Android phone with LineageOS and just remove anything I don't want.
husam212··on How to Use JSON Path
> don't bring any additional benefit to just writing code in your normal programming language

What if the query is implemented in a lower level and more efficient programming language, or probably a completely separate DB engine.

It's compatible with Redis cluster mode only, which is not always supported.

I use OpenWrt whenever it's possible, to avoid SD card wear completely.
husam212··on Chimera Linux
Confusing name considering ChimeraOS which is also Linux based.
husam212··on Hyundai Uni Wheel electric drive system could revolutionize EV design
Maybe the motor is supposed to turn with the wheel, that doesn't sound like a good idea.
husam212··on Video: Power LED Attack [video]
Best solutions are the simplest ones, and this is the right one! It's an electrical coupling issue so I think it should be fixed electrically.

Apple iPlay? https://imgur.com/a/UsDYp7i
husam212··on Steam Deck reports are here
If Valve managed to acquire a good marker share, developers will care about having something that works in Valve's SteamOS, Microsoft will push developers to native ports if they tried to degrade Proton ports, so I think they'll prefer to keep their control over DirecX.

husam212··on Flatpak: A security nightmare – two years later

Most popular distors provide similar stuff to PPA, the AUR in Arch for example.

husam212··on Cloudflare Package Repository Mirrors
I think the header Content-Length is missing.

> Our entire portfolio of ThinkStation and ThinkPad P Series workstations will now be certified via both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu LTS

Are they certifying all models or just ThinkStation and ThinkPad P Series?

husam212··on Renaming files with mv without typing the name two times
This doesn't work to change a file name to something completely different, while you can do that using the posted gist, so there's a necessity for it to not re-type the path to the file twice.
husam212··on Show HN: Kosmi – Hang out with friends and family online
That's a really bad name for the Arab world :P
husam212··on Electricity generation using quantum dots in glass
