kyorochan··on The lamps in my house
Unfortunately that "fun fact" is completely wrong (as other people have already pointed out, but with less conviction).
kyorochan··on GPT-6 Astra on OpenRouter
The 3D version is interesting, because it's more detailed which means more things to get wrong. The mudguards are symmetrical for some reason which you would never see in real life, and there are three brake cables but no brakes!

I also think there's an extra level that I would hope an AI would nail which maybe an amateur artist would also fail at, such as thinking about what position a pelican would actually ride a bike in (maybe angling the beak down for aerodynamics etc.), but we are far away from this.

kyorochan··on Oomwoo, an open-source robot vacuum you build yourself
You can just get a free kit mailed to you from someone if you pay the shipping cost.
kyorochan··on Mozilla Thunderbolt
The domain name is the most confusing part! "This is thunderbolt.io. No, not the I/O device, the AI client"...
kyorochan··on Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at kernel with massive speed gains
You're saying the opposite of what the person you think you're agreeing with is.
kyorochan··on Spotify playing ads for paid subscribers
There are lots of alternatives. What makes them all unacceptable?

> Is there a reason to use Gonic instead of Navidrome?

Not really. Both are great! I moved to Gonic because it exposed full file paths which Navidrome didn't at the time, but it has since implemented that as well.

Gonic doesn't come with a front end so it's a bit lighter if that's something you care about.

kyorochan··on Separating the Wayland compositor and window manager
River was really great even before this split, so I'm very excited to see what happens in the space in the future. I switched to Niri while waiting for it to happen, and I'll probably switch back at some point.

If you were an Xmonad user I feel pretty confident in saying River is the Wayland WM for you.

kyorochan··on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away."
If ads are not effective, why do you think companies keep buying them? Surely they would have realized by now.
kyorochan··on Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Technical Info
When I very briefly worked at a bike shop even some of the pros said they basically learned everything from Park Tool's Youtube videos!
kyorochan··on Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Technical Info
Probably just a typo. He was 63.
kyorochan··on The Great Unwind
They have been more focused on cloud stuff (and now AI) for a long time.
kyorochan··on Anki ownership transferred to AnkiHub
Tell me about your custom browser you're reading HN on!
kyorochan··on Anki ownership transferred to AnkiHub
You could fit the most basic version of a spaced repetition program on the back of a napkin. Why would you want to vibe code yet another program lacking a bunch of useful features though?
kyorochan··on Anki ownership transferred to AnkiHub
AnkiHub people seem kind of slimy in my experience (at least their leader, "The AnKing"). I hope they figure out a good leadership situation, and make stronger commitments to openness.

Anki is in a very solid position to be forked if anything happens, so even if this is bad news I have faith in the larger community.

kyorochan··on 10k pushups and other silly exercise quests that changed my life
Not strictly calisthenic, but you can do a lot with bands as well.
kyorochan··on Studio Ghibli marks 40 years, but future looks uncertain
Just FYI that should be "Miyazaki and Kon", Satoshi is his first name.
kyorochan··on Studio Ghibli marks 40 years, but future looks uncertain
Earthsea was directed by another Miyazaki, namely Hayao's son Goro.
kyorochan··on Anime fans stumbled upon a mathematical proof
If you actually check out the original 4chan post you can clearly see that it's about the first season. I'm not sure where you got the idea that it should be about the Endless 8, since you even admit yourself that it would make no sense.
kyorochan··on DeaDBeeF: The Ultimate Music Player
It sounds like you don't need or want a music player.
kyorochan··on How I Use Home Assistant in 2025
> but it's way easier to just hit the light switch

> to save you a net amount of... zero effort

This is just not true. I have 7 lights in the room I'm in right now, and I want them to all turn on and off together. This was a huge pain before I had smart lights.

kyorochan··on Replace Philips Hue Automation with Home Assistant's
You can group lights like this in Home Assistant.
kyorochan··on MusicBrainz: An open music encyclopedia
You can always edit the info on MusicBrainz if it's wrong, so that everyone else also can benefit from your fixes.
kyorochan··on They don't make 'em like that any more: the 3.5mm headphone jack socket
I changed the batteries in my Sony WF-1000XM3 earbuds without too much trouble. Unfortunately I don't think you can easily replace the battery in the case, so I still had to charge the case pretty often.
kyorochan··on Aerc: A well-crafted TUI for email
Do you feel like you shouldn't use it because of the author's politics? It's not like he gains anything from you using it. Even if he gained money from it I don't think there's any reason to believe he'd use that money to further those political opinions.
kyorochan··on Thoughts on Seed Oil
Surely searing meat in butter would burn the butter?
kyorochan··on The internet feels fake now. It's all just staged videos and marketing
Do you think they should be paying for the videos you watch?
kyorochan··on Firefox for Android is adding support for 400 add-ons
Seems like a cool extension, but how come your website and legal documents are open source, but the actual add-on is not?
kyorochan··on Great Male Renunciation
Funnily enough I've always heard that referred to as a "coin pocket", but since I live in a country that has barely used cash for the last 10+ years I thought this was very anachronistic and started putting my keys in there.
kyorochan··on Great Male Renunciation
People (arguably) don't do it because it looks better, but to signal that they are in the know about fashion.
