KJBweb··on GitHub postponing the announced billing change for self-hosted GitHub Actions
That's the signal I'm getting here and they're not even being coy about it, they're just postponing some form of inevitable price increase.
KJBweb··on Baldur's Gate 3 Steam Deck – Native Version
THIS.

1000x this.

When I grab the deck it's downtime mode for me now, keyboard/mouse time is work or side-project mode.

KJBweb··on The Rise and Fall of the LAN Party
Theres a community controller layout you can apply under controller settings which works great.
KJBweb··on Three chips in and Google Tensor is on life support
Got the 6 Pro too, me battery life isn't great either, but I WFH so I just mitigate with a power bank or spot charge for the times when I am on the go all day.

Never had issues with reliability though, I've been really impressed with the hardware aside from the battery.

No, we don't, this is awesome.
KJBweb··on Tell HN: If You Are in Russia
Kaspersky software is widely believed to be Russian spyware, of which western governments have banned the use of within their infrastructure.

I wouldn't be putting their software on mine or my childrens devices that's for sure.

KJBweb··on Ask HN: What are some small scripts you use daily?
There's quite a neat little library with an impressive amount of functionality for interacting with Keepass, called "File::KeePass;".

Here's a copy of the script itself: https://gist.github.com/kjbweb/38508fd92669101ec1fca4bea62bc...

It works on Mac's too, so I've been told.

KJBweb··on Ask HN: What are some small scripts you use daily?
I created a Perl script called anyconnector which allows me to jump around between different Cisco Anyconnect VPN's using details stored in KeePass entries.

e.g.

  To connect: anyconnector -c env-name
  Disconnect: anyconnector -d
  Get status: anyconnector -s
It gets used by my team all day, every day.

Or the UK
KJBweb··on Bootstra.386 – A Bootstrap theme from the 1980s
This is awesome, I'll be using this to revamp my personal site.
KJBweb··on Ask HN: Is Sublime Text dead?
Atom really annoyed me to be honest, I wouldn't have bothered requesting a beta invite if I knew it was Mac only at the moment.

Furthermore, why is Windows and Linux only an afterthought here? That suggests to me that further down the road, new updates and bug fixes will be released for the Mac version, with the Windows and Linux versions left to suffer.

I'll stick with Sublime and VIM for the foreseeable, thanks.

KJBweb··on Is Apple losing the tablet wars?
Like mobile operating system usage stats, whilst Apple with their iOS don't hold the largest market share, what they do hold is far, far more profitable to them.
KJBweb··on All major UK ISPs prepping network-level porn 'n' violence filters
Here here, meddling with SMTP connections to my own servers one minute so to ensure they get sent via their own (and often blacklisted) servers, the next they're hijacking DNS and taking further measures to filter and control what I can and can't see. It's infuriating!
KJBweb··on Word Processor's Auto-Save Feature Foiled UK Terror Plot
"Police discovered fragments of text on Dart's laptop that revealed that the pair had used the computer to have a "silent conversation" to avoid possible surveillance bugs.

They would open a word processor document and take it in turns to type, before deleting the text and mistakenly assuming none of it would be stored on the machine.

However forensic experts were able to plough through 2,000 pages of computer code to decipher fragments of what was said."

KJBweb··on I Bought A Firetruck
I live about 20 minutes away from Manchester, would love to come down and lend a hand if beer is involved somehow?
KJBweb··on Seer SEO Toolbox
I'm struggling to understand what it means by "copy and paste the compiled seer.min.js" into a google doc and that's it.

All I get is either the file path if I use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V or I get presented with all the JS if I try and drag it into a blank doc.

Does this need to be a spreadsheet or something?

KJBweb··on Ahye - An Open Source Screenshot and Image Server
