I’m not sure if it’s a USB-PD hub but Jeff Geerling posted a video about a USB-C charger that doesn’t suffer from the renegotiation issue https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dG2v4FHwJjE

I don’t use meta products. Photos of me are on the camera rolls of people who do.

I started going to these last year and they’re great. People selling rackmount servers off the beds of pickups, bins full of spinning rust HDDs, everything you need to make a garbage homelab.

The first one of 2025 is on March 9th.

meta and X are both heavily censored so I guess it's censors all the way down?

I switched to this method after using symlinks for years. This guide was helpful: https://queensidecastle.com/guides/tracking-your-home-direct...

~Where is their CCPA request form?~ Nowhere in California is listed under "Markets"

Just make sure to never send a PATCH request

Your entire digital life stored by clouds you have no control over is the norm. Being able to keep a local copy should be a fundamental right.

I didn't generate any files in the examples for simplicity. But you could imagine a workflow where Python generates some data and then you use R to plot it + run some statistical tool.

I didn't know about private. Thanks for the tip.

The shell is specific to each target. So doing `make ruby bash python docker` works. It even works in parallel if you do `make -j`.

Edit: I'm the author.

I love this tool. Here is the script I wrote to show how many ec2 instances I have running (so I remember to turn them off):

One of the things that drew me to Macs as I started to learn programming in '05 was that I could simply open any macbook and type python/ruby/perl and write some code.

This is one of my favorite internet radio ~stations~ websites. My only beef is that I wish there was a more permanent way to bookmark stations. The current implementation uses cookies or something that doesn't allow me to sync between browsers.

How is it extra work if you have to do it anyway? If anything, it's slightly less work to go through it all at once.

I have a gmail filter that sends all emails with the word 'unsubscribe' to a special folder. I check the unsubscribe folder about once a week to make sure I didn't miss anything important. It doesn't completely solve the problem of spammy emails but it causes them to not be a distraction when I'm trying to process emails written by actual humans.

One of the point's is that you can use R's functions in a LISP-like language.

There is an option/plugin for Jekyll for finding similar blog posts. https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/

I like homebrew-bundle [1]. It lets me list all of the apps I use in a text file and install them with a single command.

You can also run `brew bundle --cleanup` to purge your system of apps that you no longer need (as long as you installed them with homebrew/homebrew-bundle in the first place).

One could settle this by reproducibly demonstrating the bug with a pirated mp3.

You're right. I forgot to mention that this only happens if you haven't initiated a new git repository in the directory you're working in.

I tried this but git uses ~/.git for any subdirectory of $HOME. For example, if you type `git add .` while in ~/code/some-project, you will add it to your dotfiles repository. It's easy to undo but still kind of annoying.

Or perform the vagal maneuver: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagal_maneuver.

You should post some examples of highlighted literature to see if different writing styles look different because of the syntax highlighting.

This is one of those rare things that seems so obvious and simple yet awesome that I immediately slap myself in the face for not thinking of it already. Great idea :)

I've been looking for something like this. My use case is that I have a bunch of really old bioinformatics programs that are a pain to install and I want to run them from a web app. Instead of bundling all of the weird dependencies with the web app, I want to run them in containers using background workers (rails/sidekiq in this case).

I'm not sure if the privacy protection claims made by Gmelius are true.

The plugin claims that I am being tracked via tracking pixel (or other image) embedded in emails and that the trackers know when I read my email and where I read it from (from my IP address). Is this true? Google server attachments through a proxy. This would prevent trackers from seeing my IP address. If assets are cached or pre-downloaded by Google, then trackers wouldn't know when I read their emails either.

Gmelius might even decrease privacy. The plugin includes a JavaScript file hotlinked to inboxsdk.com. It's possible that inboxsdk.com is tracking users this way.
