pknopf··on Docker Systems Status: Full Service Disruption
What does the "active" page sort by?
pknopf··on Study finds solo music listening boosts social well-being
I'm exactly like this.

I have a OneWheel that I use to get around, and a JBL speaker. I legit listen to music in Publix isles, dancing, vibing, all day, every day.

I'm known around my neighborhood as "the speaker guy".

If I don't have music playing, I'm usually finger drumming/tapping/bobbing my head anyway.

pknopf··on Google is making AI in Gmail and Docs free, but raising the price of Workspace
Are they any free email services that allow you to use your own domain?

Can LLMs help here?
pknopf··on The xz attack shell script
If a projects build system can't depend on python, that let's leave them in the dust, ffs..
pknopf··on The xz attack shell script
Package managers that use git are less prone to this kinda of attack (goland, rust).
pknopf··on On reddit: Someone in IT trolled me for over a decade
It's as real as any other fake story.

If a story is bombastic, it's safer to assume it's fake. Reddit incentivizes OPs to get engagement.

pknopf··on .NET on Linux: What a Contrast
Yup! Well worth the 20 bucks a month!
pknopf··on Microdot: A Web Framework for Microcontrollers
Platform.io makes things very approachable.

Thanks for this!
pknopf··on Freetar – an alternative front end for ultimate-guitar.com
I did the same! I'm so happy I did!
pknopf··on HP disables customers’ printers if they use ink cartridges from cheaper rivals
I'll never forget how confused I was when my HP printer kept printing ads, randomly.

Turns out, it was an official practice by HP.

I'll never use any of their products again.

pknopf··on GitDB, a distributed embeddable database on top of Git
Medical industry, design history files, etc.
pknopf··on Sex is going out of fashion?
Hyperbolic, but yeah.
pknopf··on Sex is going out of fashion?
7% of all humans that ever existed, are alive today.

We can afford a contraction.

pknopf··on Software Disenchantment (2018)
I love seeing this hit HN every so often. It reminds me of just how hilarious us humans introduce complexity just everywhere.
pknopf··on How will MIDI 2.0 change music? (2020)
I don't know how it would be if they are switching from 8 bit to 32 bit.

I imagine most devices that come with MIDI 2.0 will have an option to run in either 1 or 2.

pknopf··on The Deno Company
There will likely be some kind of npm at some point.
pknopf··on Immutable Linux desktop with OpenSUSE and Snaps
If you are more comfortable with apt/Ubuntu/Debian, you could use Darch: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

There are also base images for Arch and Void.

pknopf··on Immutable Linux desktop with OpenSUSE and Snaps
Checkout my pet project, Darch: https://godarch.com/

It is truly immutable. Here are my recipes: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes

pknopf··on jQuery 3.6.0
Too early to call.

Wait until Typescript is properly supported.

pknopf··on jQuery 3.6.0
Make Postbacks Great Again.
pknopf··on Debian 11 “bullseye” freeze started
Fill me in? What recent fiasco?
pknopf··on Run More Stuff in Docker
It's worth mentioning my pet project, Darch.

pknopf··on Raspberry Pi Server Mark III
Pi's don't last as long as traditional hardware, but if you are running a self-healing cluster of machines, why wouldn't you use this for production environments?
pknopf··on Bootstrap 5 Beta 1
My rule of thumb: Always use jQuery (or nothing) unless there is an explicit need to upgrade to React/Angular/VUE.

Spoiler alert, there rarely is a need.

pknopf··on A Modern JavaScript Tutorial
Yeah...

There was a big push for that a while back. The JavaScript community can be silly.
