ShaddyDC··on Authelia and Lldap: Authentication, SSO, User Management for Home Networks
Kanidm is another similar tool for user management I've been enjoying. It has a strong focus on safe defaults and supports exposing the users via LDAP ootb. It's fairly simple to set up as well, but I feel like it sometimes expects the users to be fairly technical.

ShaddyDC··on Ask HN: What software did you purchase that positively impacted your family life
Maybe I phrased that badly. You would have set kagi as your default search engine, but sometimes you want to search something on a specific site only. With bangs, kagi will redirect you to another search engine instead of running the query itself. If you append !w to your query, you will search on Wikipedia instead. If you append !g, your query is redirected to Google. There is no advantage over searching on Google directly, but it is much faster than going to the Google page if kagi is your default. And I meant that the !g bang works on ddg as well, though there probably is a ddg bang on kagi too.

It lets you search the current query on Google. It's also a bang on ddg

ShaddyDC··on Rodney Brooks on GPT-4
The idea is that a model might already be smarter than us or at the very least have a very different thought process from us and then do something like improving itself. The problem is that it's impossible for us to predict the exact path because it's thought up by an entity whose thinking we don't really understand or are able to predict.
ShaddyDC··on Switching from QWERTY to Colemak and Back
For me, while I did learn colemak on a different physical layout, my typing speed on qwertz still plummeted. Maybe the difference wasn't large enough because it was just a columnar layout and not a split design. I spent a couple of months using both regularly though, and now I can comfortably switch between them.
