Sounds great. I'm eager to try it, when a release with early Linux support is published. Keep it going.

Fairphone?

It is a good question, I assume that for the overall internet the adoption percentage will always be very low. However, the sites scanned are, theoretically, the top 1M, which include a high number of established businesses and other big organizations. So, I hoped that in this "sample" the percentage would be higher.

I guess that depending on the situation, people will use different mediums.

If I'm at the computer, I prefer to read and/or scroll an article. If I'm on the move, listening would definitely be better.

I guess your best chance is to use something like https://archivebox.io/.

I've written many over the years. Not all were published and some of them I don't use anymore. Anyway, here are a few examples:

* `inlinehashes`[1] - To help build the CSP of websites that I don't control the source/development.

* `worker-ddns` [2] - simple DDNS solution using cloudflare workers

* `kinspect` [3] - a web tool to quickly inspect PGP keys without importing them to my keyring.

> The rush to just shit on everything is so tiresome.

I also get that feeling. It seems it is now fashionable to take down anything that might change things (I'm not saying that all change is good). Change resistance is something that always existed and we are already used to, but somehow this looks a bit different, more ideological.

Sure, my personal blog is https://blog.ovalerio.net

It doesn't focus on a single topic, it mostly contains things that I feel I should share.

It would be nice to have something similar for matrix. I stopped using IRC directly a while ago, and now I rely on matrix to join the channels.

However, to be sincere, I'm not a huge fan of element and this client look great indeed.

Good news. Lock-in was one of the biggest issues with passkeys. I think we will see a bunch of well known password managers adding passkey support soon.

Is there any standard for this integration/interoperability? What about moving from one provider/app to another?

Mostly https://lobste.rs/ .

The rest are RSS feeds of blogs and other sources picked by myself.

Comprehensible, very hard to nail everything on the first try, and a person often has to make tradeoffs.

> this is how Electron auto updater works under the hood (checking for update = downloading it)

Electron auto updater seems too raw, for an app that has a decent size.

> I did change it now to 3 hours.

In my opinion, it is still too frequent. Ideally, the user should be able to set his preference and the app should have a less aggressive default (once a day seem more than enough for most cases).

This is, in fact, a problematic case. RSS is expected to be consumed by other applications and bots. To make things worse, it might not be immediately obvious to the site owner when CF is interfering with the access to his content.

Lots possible solutions. One of them is using Cloudflare Workers, it supports the scheduling parts and storing the previous state. Taking into account the check frequency you describe, I guess it falls within the limits of their free offering.

The real reason or intention isn't that important, compared to the outcomes of the change. The author correctly evaluated one of those outcomes and the respective implications.

Given Google's track record, I think it is a sensible evaluation of the situation.

I work on a laptop from the previous generation (Infinity Book Pro 14 Gen6) and I'm very happy with it. At first I had some doubts, but it ended up being a great "Linux" laptop.

This looks great. Mastodon is not a good choice for a "single-user instance". It has been a pain and a waste of resources, running it for the last few years. If the migration process is easy (and keeps all the previous data), I will definitely consider the move.

I've been using it for ages, the "Top 20" and "Top 50%" filters are great. It turned out to be the "true" HN frontend for me.

..."you" or the people you agree with.

By reading the article, it seems a reasonable approach. Similar to what several other open-source projects are already doing.

I work on an Tuxedo's "Infinity Book Pro 14" and I have no complains, it has been a wonderful laptop for software development (on Linux).

I've faced this problem in the past and it is really annoying. One of the many reasons why I dislike this service and try to avoid it as much as possible.

Excellent. Since it was released, Plasma 5 has been my Linux desktop environment of choice and, truth be told, it keeps getting better and better.

Nowadays I can't stand an environment without the sane defaults and powerful customization capabilities we can find in Plasma/KDE.

A big "thank you" to all KDE contributors.

ET:Legacy [1], initially it (the original: Enemy Territory) wasn't open-source but it is now. Never gets old.

That line of thinking only exacerbates the problem.

I think I'm ok with the tradeoff.

This is a very nice project. I had the change to test it a few months ago using a raspberry pi and it was great to remember old times.

> Something like an extension of email, without instances acting as gatekeepers

Email has "instances" that act as gatekeepers. Gmail is one, Outlook is another, Fastmail is...

They are both federated systems and on these systems (email, fediverse, matrix, xmpp...) end users have accounts on servers that then connect between themselves to create the whole network.

The only difference is the underlying protocol and/or the main purpose.

The entry point is here: https://ovalerio.net

It basically contains a blog and a few pages about other content that I publicly share.

The need for alternatives to the PlayStore (and even AppStore) is real. Developers should start publishing to those alternatives to mitigate against these risks (even if they don't bring too much traffic/revenue at the moment).
