I would never expect Tech Ingredients' video "DEFEATING LRAD" to become relevant on European soil.

I had a decent success with pandoc and typst - https://www.bobek.cz/til/pandoc-markdown-typst/

Boox devices are Android based, so also pretty hackable.

FreeCAD actually uses python for scripting. The console is a python repl.

I've been using `includeIf` with directory for ages (https://www.bobek.cz/til/git-identities/), the `hasconfig:remote` is really neat. And it also works when cloning the repository.

I am on Family plan for over a year. Very happy z including czech sites.

Sometimes we do overuse programmable devices, where simpler logic would be even better (read no corrupted memory, instant boot, etc.).

One beat tool are the shift registers -- https://bobek.cz/traffic-light/

Perfect, I do the same thing for daily quote.

Definitely check out what https://recombee.com is doing (API doc is at https://docs.recombee.com/ ).

I have ended up with something very similar. Restic/rclone is awesome combo. https://bobek.cz/restic-rclone/

Patch review flow was one of the thing I've really enjoyed with Phabricator.

Aaah, this brings memories of late night debugging sessions of code written by briliant physicists without computer science background ;)

This + show me tools you are using. Like show me how you use copilot or even what you would search on stackoverflow for.

A surprising number of candidates would fail even the "I can use my own IDE" part of this exercise. It is still the same thing after all - show me what you have in your toolbox and how well you can use those tools.

It is not the same (as it uses Linux kernel) but Nerves project is an interesting way of using BEAM (Erlang VM) for "embedded" applications.

Uh, never came across them. Though Immich and damselfly were the only really usable.

Or go written. It is a great fit for some teams.

Recommend https://sunburstandluminary.com/SLhome.html for more context. Fun read.

Take a look at Restic for backups. Rclone and Restic play together really nicely.

Really like NewsBlur - https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur

I use lab notebook inspired process to share information across our engineering organization. It is like your daily standup, but written throughout the day.

TBH https://mapy.cz/ are still the clear winner in map presentation and usefulness.

This was one of the reasons, why I went with one of the Boox devices (Max Lumi) in my case. It is Android, so adding even easier than working around their Linux distro.

Screen sharing (actually it doubles as a remote control as well) via https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

And as they don't try to leverage proprietary formats, Syncthing for syncing books and notes. And NetGuard for a good measure, so it doesn't call home.

Absolutely agree. Even basics like password manager instead of one password everywhere.

It is about the overall attitude. One cannot expect people to think about secure code, when they don't follow basic principles outside of the product itself.

I use this approach for monitoring open ports in our infrastructure -- running masscan, commiting results to git repo. If there are changes, open the merge request for review. During the review, one would investigate the actual server, why there was change in open ports.

The only system, which I've enjoyed was Phabricator.

And then you discover https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_Hiking_Markers_System and https://mapy.cz ;)

> The useful thing to do would be to just say “I do not know of an algorithm that does this.” But instead it’s overcompetent in its own capabilities, and just makes shit up.

I had recently very similar reaction. And then realized, that this is exactly same behavior as with many of my colleagues at work...

They have api for dedicated servers. It may be confusing, that it is called robot api, but that is how they call their management interface for dedicated servers.
