ig0r0on How to make Linux run fast again on Intel CPUs

ig0r0on Show HN: I wanted better offline music on the iPhone, so I made Doppler

ig0r0on Ask HN: What is setup for your static blog generator?

Using Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) as static generator, hosting everything on Github (take a look: https://github.com/igorkulman/coding-journal), deploying to Netlify (free tier).

There are many good themes for Hugo (https://themes.gohugo.io/), I use Beautiful Hugo.

ig0r0on My experience using Hackintosh low-end PC for 3 years

ig0r0on My experience using Hackintosh low-end PC for 3 years
