dicknuckle··on Ask HN: How do you ensure everyone on the team is heard on Slack?
I haven't read too far into those, but if one has an integration or feature to automatically send a message to the team's Slack channel with a link to every new Local SO post, it could really light the fire on that new system. Then all the replies would be easier to capture on the SO post, AND eyes would be on the new posts, AND it wouldn't be cluttering inboxes.
dicknuckle··on BMW F Series Gear Selector, Part Two: Breakthrough
As an aside, I was able to change the audible level of the turn signals on my 2020 Toyota with their Techstream software (from the usual shady sources) and a Tactrix cable I originally bought for flashing my Subaru ECU. Maybe you can do the same for your vehicles with their dedicated software.
dicknuckle··on Show HN: I ranked news websites by speed
My least favorite part of Medium (and why I actively avoid it) is the incredible amount of recommended threads/articles focused on bad-faith arguments from neonazis or religious extremist views.
dicknuckle··on YaLM-100B: Pretrained language model with 100B parameters
Settling land that was recently taken from Palestinian families by force, often (literally) knocking the existing houses over with a bulldozer. In my opinion, that's a moral red flag to participate in such an atrocity.
dicknuckle··on GitHub actions is down
For now you can just host GitHub Actions locally. https://github.com/nektos/act

I'm not sure it's meant to be political, and instead A-political in that they don't want to be involved in the "fight for free speech" that seems to attract the most racist and bigoted dregs of society to projects that wish to partake. In the author's desire to be apart from that, you've labeled them in a way that may or may not be accurate. Being anti-racist doesn't have to be a "leftist" ideology but complaining about their stance on it and labeling them leftists sounds like you're admitting right leaning people tend to be more racist. I'm not sure if that's the picture you intended to paint. I don't see any labels for this being "leftist" on the project webpage or on the GitHub readme.
dicknuckle··on DNS Toys
ooh, MOSH over DNS. Theres all kinds of features to compensate for UDP lossiness built in.
dicknuckle··on I've locked myself out of my digital life
Authy is great. I've started duplicating my MFA codes to KeepassXC so the OTP can be generated from my desktop or mobile in two different ways. I do love how KeePass will just start generating codes by pasting the secret into this format: otpauth://totp/Chrome:USER?secret=XXXXXX&period=30&digits=6
dicknuckle··on Show HN: An open source alternative to Evernote (Self Hosted)
I realize this is probably a big ask, but an import from Google Keep would be a huge plus. Google eventually kills off EVERYTHING good.
dicknuckle··on Setting up a Pi Hole made my home network faster
It's much simpler. A lot less arcane knowledge is needed to get something running, and even less to clean it up completely if you need to delete it or start over for whatever reason.
dicknuckle··on Arc Browser Company: Chrome and Safari face a new challenger
try Kiwi Browser.
dicknuckle··on Arc Browser Company: Chrome and Safari face a new challenger
why not Kiwi Browser? uses chromium under the hood. allows chrome extensions to be installed, but most don't work.
dicknuckle··on Ultra compact GAN ATX power supply delivers up to 250 Watts
I expect motherboards could be more reliable if there was a standard 12v to 5v, 3.3v, 1.5v etc pluggable converter that they all used. It could cut down on E waste. Instead of having to discard an entire motherboard, the low voltage converter board could be swapped out and repaired/discarded. The same companies that make ATX power supplies could also make the discreet low voltage converters. ATX innards could be smaller, less wiring between components.

No that's silly, we should continue to use a design from 1995, itself replacing a design from 1981.

someone needs to set up a CNAME or a redirect.
dicknuckle··on macOS Multi-Monitor Problems
maybe it's just off by default on newer versions? i had to turn it off on my 2021 MBP at work.
dicknuckle··on macOS Multi-Monitor Problems
it's a setting. nothing special.
dicknuckle··on macOS Multi-Monitor Problems
Or just use Firefox. I've been a Chrome-ish user for decades, bouncing from Chrome to Vivaldi and then finally Opera (with a brief stint on Edge after it switched to Chromium). Firefox is just stable, but I mainly switched for Container Tabs at work so I can log into AWS to access different customers at the same time.

Score Voting, Runoff Voting, something, anything to fix the red/blue mess here.
dicknuckle··on Internet spring cleaning: How to delete Instagram, Facebook and other accounts
marketplace has almost completely replaced craigslist in my area. i do occasionally find some good deals on Craigslist but by far I have a better chance of finding something specific on Fb.
dicknuckle··on Internet spring cleaning: How to delete Instagram, Facebook and other accounts
I'm not really worried about Discord keeping all my messages about a Robot Lawnmower or a couple pieces of software / games I discuss on there.
dicknuckle··on Internet spring cleaning: How to delete Instagram, Facebook and other accounts
I've been using Disa.im but every few years FB breaks the API it uses for a few days or weeks at a time.

dicknuckle··on Podman Desktop Companion GUI – Parity on All Major Operating Systems
or just use Podman.
dicknuckle··on OpenMower – Open-source robot lawn mower [video]
Kind of off topic but I'm currently working on a DIY project to add self-propel to a 110v corded mower.

The goal is to have an electric rope mower for the biggest part of my back yard that happens to have a 110v outlet in the very center (septic alarm pedestal).
