s2l··on Jeeves. Reasoning improves Jev-like decision models
see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49883844
s2l··on F-Droid 2.0
The other way is to use fdroid as source within obtainium. The benefit is to maintain app list at one place, so you can export/import to another device, when needed.
s2l··on Show HN: Lumabri – Run Moe Models on a P2P Swarm with Colibri
What if one wishes to use various busybox nodes within the house?

All the iot devices contributing to matmul but within a LAN?

s2l··on BadHost – CVE-2026-48710: Starlette Host-Header Auth Bypass
From the link, on how the attack works:

An attacker can send a crafted request like GET /protected with a Host: example.com/health?x= header. The request will reach the /proteced path, but request.url would be https://example.com/health?x=/protected, and request.url.path would return /health instead of the real request path.

s2l··on Decision trees – the unreasonable power of nested decision rules

s2l··on Use Microsoft Office Shortcuts in Libre Office
Try onlyoffice.
s2l··on Please just try HTMX
Even though I prefer htmx, another emerging gravity is what LLMs are good at. LLM-based coding/debugging/planning is a thing and going to stay, and if there are less code-bases to train LLMs, any new language/framework will be at disadvantage.
s2l··on Texas is suing all of the big TV makers for spying on what you watch
And by unsubscribing, you just gave us a signal that you are active.
s2l··on 30 minutes with a stranger
Applicable in corporate world too: https://youtu.be/0MD4Ymjyc2I?t=410 (Yves Morieux; Two TVs)
s2l··on De-Googling TOTP Authenticator Codes
1. Aegis has a setting for creating secure backup on every change. 2. Autosync that backup directory via syncthing to your PC. 3. Run a compatible desktop software (e.g. linux has authenticator) to import aegis backup files manually.

Since totp addition is not a frequent activity, the last manual import step was not a hassle to do whenever needed.

s2l··on Grafana: Why observability needs FinOps, and vice versa
Start with educating architects and developers on how to measure and optimize costs. They are the first point (and probably cheapest) to optimize costs.

Later, FinOps role can evolve but expectations will mostly be reactive.

s2l··on Ghostwriter – use the reMarkable2 as an interface to vision-LLMs
Now only if llm response font is some handwritten style.
s2l··on Discord client that works on Win95*, Win98 and above
I really want to use zulip but last I checked they charged for push notifications. Without it, my group lost interest in using it due to missed messages.

I saw a post about webpush a day ago. Not sure if anything has changed for zulip in that area.

s2l··on Lessons in creating family photos that people want to keep (2018)
Worth mentioning photoprim, if you maintain photos on local hardware, nas, etc.

s2l··on A Minecraft server written in COBOL
Check out minetest open source too, which is similar but separate game like minecraft. You can self-host the server.
s2l··on Nullboard: Kanban board in a single HTML file
Do you know if a remote backup service was written? I am going through SimpleBackup code, (and if not exists) I would like to contribute remote agent for backup. Any pointers for that implementation would be appreciated.
s2l··on Solaar is a Linux manager for many Logitech keyboards, mice, and other devices
This has been part of standard ubuntu repos for sometime. (apt install solaar)
s2l··on Windshield pitting incidents in Washington reach fever pitch on April 15, 1954 (2003)
Stories Pushing Imaginary Nonsence
s2l··on Design Token-Based UI Architecture
> or perhaps a brand refresh.

Doesn't brand refresh often includes new components and new design language? In creative space, every design agency tries to sell something different to the organization and thus brand refresh will discontinue any prior design tokens and come up with new one.

s2l··on Xiaomi Home Integration for Home Assistant
Can you share some of the zigbee devices that you are using? Thanks.
s2l··on Xiaomi Home Integration for Home Assistant
zigbee2mqtt makes things easier to establish the bridge. Running as a container, next to home assistant container.
s2l··on Bitwarden SDK relicensed from proprietary to GPLv3
For this type of data, preference could be toward fully open source stack (i.e. fdroid, etc).

Another thing I recommend is to enable versioning on syncthing for the database. This way accidental changes can be reverted easily.

s2l··on Bitwarden SDK relicensed from proprietary to GPLv3
Desktop: keepass variants.

Android: Keepass2 android.

Use syncthing to stay in sync.

s2l··on Bop Spotter
For another use case, I experienced that the phone battery starts swelling after few months. It was an indoor setup and I had removed the phone backcover to avoid overheating.
s2l··on Software galaxies
Now imagine, if there was a timeline to show the evolution.
s2l··on Frame.work laptop now available in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden
Inspired from physical newspaper reading, how about page right/left keys too? Think of infinite canvas apps, games, web carousel, etc.
s2l··on Start presentations on the second slide
similar to Pyramid Principle by Barbara Minto (McKinsey)
s2l··on Hacked Nvidia 4090 GPU driver to enable P2P
Time to publish the next book in "Stealing the network" series.
s2l··on Hacker News Rankings. Graphs of HN posts rank on timeline
I did a project with kids to visualize similar information in grafana. https://salmanzg.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/image-1.png

The shell scripts are still alive collecting data for past couple of months and there are interesting "interest" patterns. That's how I decide which stories I should not miss.
