I remember Emule, with its IRC client we discovered by chance, or BearShare, which had a whole social network, you could search for people based on age, country and whatever. We used to get together at a friend's house because he had decent internet, in front of a CRT monitor, chatting with people around Europe with our broken english.

Music piracy also changed the course of my life, thanks to a DVD full of music I discovered my passion for metal, picked up the electric guitar, met a lot of friends, partners and had a lot of fun (I could say it was the best time of my life, but that was just because I was younger and without worries ;)

I also had no money to spend on CDs, nowadays I'm often thinking about buying a blu-ray player to buy the albums and movies I love... but I don't want them to collect dust, so I'm waiting for an excuse...

I do have a Sony Walkman (the new one) with a nice collection of music, but with spotify (which I want to replace with Qobuz) it's not getting used. I'm also selfhosting NaviDrome.

The github cli has a command to query commits with a sorting asc/desc flag

https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_search_commits

here's the docs with more syntax using the "before x date"

https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/searching-on-github...

there's also an advanced search page, but it does not support commits when filtering with dates

https://github.com/search/advanced

or you can bisect the date in the search widget, this is the first day with a commit

https://github.com/malisper/pgrust/commits/main/?since=2026-...

first commit:

https://github.com/malisper/pgrust/commit/22113dc36b02973060...

I remember on xda with my Galaxy S Plus i9001 [1], we had:

- dual boot [2]

- Ubuntu touch [3]

- different kernels with various optimizations, overclocking, etc

- an absurd amount of ROMs, aside from CyanogenMod and LineagesOS there was ParanoidAndroid, Carbon, JellyBean, AICP, plus all the ROMs made specifically by users for this phone

- the latest linux kernel, somebody just compiled it for AOSP, I think it was version 3 or 4 against 2, which was the standard for every other phone, it ended up on some tech news website

I think It was a really great modding scene and a lot of people learnt stuff from that. Mainly by bricking their phones and having to fix them.

Wow! Definitely not what I was expecting. If you turn around and look at the door there's a menu with some filters.

Pasta is the only thing I don't miss.

I recently found some pasta made with 100% red lentils, rice or peas, which is really good, I can gladly offer it to people.

They cost a premium but the state gives us around 100€ a month to spend, and I don't eat that much gluten free stuff. Pizza on the other hand makes me sad ;(

I once read the manual of one of those small floor cleaning robots (Ecovacs Deebot U2 pro), and it basically said that by using it you were giving them a right to take pictures and send them to a remote server (to analyze issues or something like that)

Cannot wait for linux phones to be ready... When I switch my current phone I'll check out how the Jolla status is

I know it's an anti-pattern, but what is the alternative if you need to install some software? Pulling its tagged source code, gcc and compile everything?

I feel strongly about advertising. Long before streaming, my parents used to leave the ads on in between programs, and it always made me mad. I think my ADD comes into play, the idea of voluntarily watching them feels really strange.

I also wonder how the world would change if we made targeted advertising illegal. One can dream...

Last week I added to my dolphin toolbar the "Show Hidden Files" button so it was always shown, my only issue was that it was a really long because of its text. "But wait!" I thought, "This is not windows, I'm sure I can change it!". Lo and behold, my button now says "Hidden" and it's as short as I want it, just by editing the normal settings, no mods required.

I used minumm keyboard a long time ago and it was actually good, 1-2 cm of keyboard height, sadly I think it's been discontinued long ago, but you can see a couple of screenshots here

Nice! Wish the supported rotation was bigger, maybe +- 90 instead of only 90 deg?

I installed stylish for Firefox and sometimes use some custom CSS to enlarge the body. I recently did it for chatgpt, on a 32" having the main content filling 1/4 of the display is ridiculous

Nice game, I'm going to sink some time on these! Got 86 points today

https://enclose.horse Day 8 PERFECT! 100%

Love it, I discovered it last week and bought a supporter pack after two days! Everytime I get stuck I'm 100% sure you made a mistake... Until I find my own mistake

Yeah I sign my project APKs so people can install them from the action's artefact

  - name: Retrieve keystore for apk signing
    env:
      KEYSTORE: ${{ secrets.KEYSTORE }}
      run: echo "$KEYSTORE" | base64 --decode > /home/runner/work/keystore.pfk

Because when you floss you create more particles

It's the game that made me stop using cheats. I was young and discovered cheat codes and used them in every game that made them available. I remember completing Deus Ex and finding it "just ok", but then I read how people talked about it, and realized that taking away the challenge from games was making them worse! Never used one again, aside from when I discovered Cheat Engine, which was amazing for somebody who was starting to get interested in programming.

I have an xcover 6 pro with dual sim, 3.5 jack, removable battery and micro sd support, it works great (except buying an original battery is not super easy). I know the 7 is out too but I think its reviews were worse on amazon

It wasn't required by law and the ocpp charging protocol, used to manage charge sessions at a high level between the charger and the service provider (not the vehicle) did not include payments management. Everybody just found it easier to manage payments using apps and credits. But I think Europe is going to make it mandatory soon(ish)

There's an official Golang rewrite called dendrite: https://github.com/element-hq/dendrite it has few start because they recentyl migrated it from the original repo (https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite) Development is not fast but it's going on, and it's currently on beta. I haven't tried it, I selfhost a synapse server which I used with friends, and with docker it wasn't hard to set up/maintain after the initial effort.

Bazzite was built as a "plug and play" distro to play games on steam, I think their main handheld target is the Steam Deck which has a 7.4 inches display

Would this also stop users with automatic form filling enabled?

Reminds me of the abomination of nature you could build in Monkey Island 4

Yeah, with a 500 MB partition I cannot have both the normal and LTS kernel thanks to that, and resizing it sound like a good way to break stuff, so I'll pass for now

I remember a gitea update where they said in the release text something like "new github-like ui" and they basically copied all of it (check some screenshot of the latest version)

I sort by last updated and check the date. Since most of the projects are on Github I then open it and check last commit/stars. Maybe they could add Github stars? I use droidify btw

My personal experience: I use Firefox because all its issues are fixable either via about:config or extensions. It's not slow or crashing.

- Embedded telemetry can be disabled via about:config - Running ublock origin in advanced mode blocks all third party domains, websites are often broken but easily fixable - Cookie Autodelete deletes a website cookie after the tab closes - Decentraleyes as a local CDN to avoid external requests for common libraries - Redirector to change request to alternative no tracking frontends for famous websites - Simple tab groups keep tabs organized by "job" - Bitwarden to manage passwords

I rarely encounter websites that are not working and I just switch to another website, and I use Vivaldi for things like meet where I want things to "just work".

I keep a second layout, the "US, alt. intl." (US international alternative?)even on computers without US keyboards, then use a hotkey such as win + space to swap between them and "\" becomes the backtick. Not only it's easy to write "~" but it's also easier to write upper case accented letters since it's just backtick + shift + vowel
