Gabrys1··on A startup’s quest to store electricity in the ocean
I must have missed the video apparently...
Gabrys1··on A startup’s quest to store electricity in the ocean
My understanding of this technology is that it's closed-circuit. No water is exchanged between the power plant and the ocean once filled with ocean water.
Gabrys1··on Preventing Kubernetes from pulling the pause image from the internet
I like Docker(compose) + Portainer for small deployments
Gabrys1··on Affinity Studio now free
pCloud also has lifetime payment for a storage service.

This must be some kind of Ponzi scheme, I guess they must count on

1. storage getting cheaper 2. traffic getting cheaper 3. that people will need more and more storage with time

Gabrys1··on Can “second life” EV batteries work as grid-scale energy storage?
> Can “second life” EV batteries work as grid-scale energy storage?

Yes.

Thank you

Gabrys1··on The day my smart vacuum turned against me
My guess would be that the manufacturer didn't remotely block the device, but rather the device itself did.

If last connection time < N days ago and last M tries connecting were unsuccessful, then: brick myself.

Still shitty, no doubt (and very similar to planned obsolescence), but the customer can un-brick by resetting to factory like they did in the service center.

Gabrys1··on Niri – A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor
don't you just love how many ways of going full screen there are in macOS
Gabrys1··on The ABS programming language
Found first (!) thing that I cannot justify: sleep(number) sleeps for number of MILLISECONDS rather than - more naturally - seconds. The only possible explanation I found is that this maybe accepts a int rather than a float. (In this case the function should be called sleep_ms, not unlike unix_ms)
Gabrys1··on Show HN: Devbox – Containers for better dev environments
You might need to install libxml2 in order to use XML parsing library for your high level programming language.

You don't need to be writing C code to be affected by the dependency hell.

Gabrys1··on The ABS programming language
I'm normally very skeptical about new languages, but this one, actually looks very very promising!

At places it looks like plain old PHP without the need for <?, in other I can see some goodies from JS with a bit of Python sprinkled as well.

It really looks like the author gave it a proper thought! Good job!

Gabrys1··on RedoxFS is the default filesystem of Redox OS, inspired by ZFS
I guess the ./xxx makes it clear that the command expects a path (that may be relative to the cwd), so I'm not hating _that_ part.
Gabrys1··on Show HN: Devbox – Containers for better dev environments
C libraries are easiest to install system wide. The situation with multiple versions of libc is tricky to work with.

Not impossible, just not easy to comprehend by an average dev.

`fusermount3 ./redox-img`

at the end of the page should read

`fusermount3 -u ./redox-img`

Gabrys1··on Yt-dlp: Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads
Oh, there's plenty of these, here's just one example: https://www.amazon.com/ATOTOOUT-Magic-Box-Built-Bluetooth/dp...
Gabrys1··on Yt-dlp: Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads
There are boxes you plug to your CarPlay enabled car that run Android. Run Google Maps on that and you're golden. No need to carry/connect your phone to the car anymore
Gabrys1··on Yt-dlp: Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads
Use Tubular, which is basically NewPipe with Sponsorblock. (And has really nice Android Auto support which I learned after a while)
Gabrys1··on This website has no class
The 5KB is trivial. They don't mention how much was actually removed. Maybe 200KB? Who knows
Gabrys1··on YouTube addresses lower view counts which seem to be caused by ad blockers
They could just embed tracking code to the streaming service? As in: count how many times the chunk of video was sent to the clients, rather than relying on the clients to work as THEY intended...

Client-side analytics must end

Gabrys1··on Source code for the X recommendation algorithm
It'd assume that weights are changing constantly so they'd need to open source a service tweaking the weights in real time rather than the weights themselves...
Gabrys1··on Kazeta: An operating system that brings the console gaming experience of 90s
Linux distros are operating systems in my dictionary. Unlike Linux which is just an OS kernel.

They got a coaster from the library?
Gabrys1··on Switching Pip to Uv in a Dockerized Flask / Django App
I, on the other hand, don't care what language the tools are written in.

I do get the sentiment that a user of these tools, being a Python developer could in theory contribute to them.

But, if a tool does its job, I don't care if it's not "in Python". Moreover, I imagine there is a class of problems with the Python environment setup that'd break the tool that could help you fix it if the tool itself is written in Python.

Gabrys1··on Cosmoe: BeOS Class Library on Top of Wayland
I for one, love the wall-switched sockets
Gabrys1··on The lack of a good command line way to sort IPv6 addresses
I imagine you wrote this sarcastically, but I do like this a lot!
Gabrys1··on Python lib generates its code on-the-fly based on usage
It's been 3 hours and no-one came back with an answer. They must be busy playing Doom
Gabrys1··on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings
On Android, the OS exposes an API allowing the app to control whether it's visible on the screenshot and screen capturing tools (like screen mirroring to your TV). If the app disallowes screenshots (it's called FLAG_SECURE) your screenshot/stream will have a black rectangle instead of the app image. This is usually requested by bank apps and paid content apps like Netflix.

I assume there are provisions for the same thing in all the other supported systems. Everyone without such support will get no video on the affected meetings.

Gabrys1··on Memory-safe sudo to become the default in Ubuntu
I think that's alright?

> Ubuntu is the most widely deployed Linux operating system

Nitpicking, but I thought Android was the most widely deployed Linux OS around...

Gabrys1··on Critical CSS
+1 on responsiveness
Gabrys1··on Critical CSS
I would pay good money for this tool ~12 years ago. We had a site with enormous amounts of CSS that accumulated over the years and it was really unclear which rules are and which aren't critical
