dgrabla··on Flameshot – Superb Screenshot Tool
"> flameshot gui" is awesome, one of the most useful tools I use and a terrific replacement for shutter||xclip. I recommend "> peek" to capture gifs.
dgrabla··on WRT54G History: The Router That Accidentally Went Open Source
I cannot believe nobody has said "I'm still using them" yet. I have two of them still happily moving packets the same they did back in mid 2000.
dgrabla··on Why does Linux have so much trouble sleeping and waking?
Strategy: "use couple of years old Thinkpad". Tons of linux devs use thinkpads and a couple of years are needed for all userland / driver patches to land at your favorite distro. It worked so far for me with the x40, x230 & t470s.

What book should I read to be able to understand this text? No papers please. I don't understand what scaling a model means.
dgrabla··on Ask HN: What have you done to improve your desk ergonomics?
I use a split keyboard[1], with a trackball[2] in between the keyboards. I like to spend a few hours in the morning standing, and when I finally get tired, I adjust the desk all the way down. All fixed desks are way too tall for me (1.67cm). Remove the armrests - your hands should be floating over the keyboard. I use xwrits with 1minute pause every 25 minutes: enough time to focus your eyeballs out of the screen and move the hands a little bit to prevent RSI.

dgrabla··on N8n.io – Workflow automation alternative to Zapier
Leaving the UI aside, how is this different from Huginn? I have a few Huginn agents running menial tasks, but I find time consuming to debug issues. Does N8n have more connectors? What are the strengths compared with Huginn?

It is hilarious to 'pick up raisins' instead of cherrypicking a commit

dgrabla··on Microsoft to shut down Wunderlist in favor of its new app, To-Do
The desktop runs a cron job to sync every X minutes with a taskwarrior server on an amazon instance. The cellphone syncs manually, or you can automate a sync installing Taskwarrior for Android. The UI of this Taskwarrior for Android app is not very good for me, but it allows you to sync the taskdata files every X minutes if you want. You only need to make sure to point the app to the termux .task folder so both the Taskwarrior for Android and the Termux + Taskwarrior CLI use the same data files.
dgrabla··on Microsoft to shut down Wunderlist in favor of its new app, To-Do
Taskwarrior on Desktop and Taskwarrior + Termux on Android is the most flexible, private, open and lightweight TODO manager I've ever used. No eye candy whatsoever, just pure power. I've been using the combo for a few years now, give it a look.
dgrabla··on Polish software house pays most of November salaries in Bitcoin
How do you do the accountancy in Bitcoin? Like a commodity? Can you show numbers to the Tax office in weird currencies?
dgrabla··on Show HN: Get a free 30 minute expert design review on your startup’s website
I think this can be good business. I see it working as an independent design review/audit system. People can use your service to have a different professional check the quality of the consultancy work you ordered in Odesk, Elance etc. "I think the quality of this is subpar, and the people at inputfarm think the same. Check this report they wrote and come back to me with an improved version"
