Somebody posted on HN before about an eruv index, that’s how I found my city had one as well[0]. I assume they got sort of popular around Jewish neighborhoods.

Feeding stray cats and feeding birds are very different things, pretty much at odds with each other. If a stray cat is fed, birds have a more difficult time surviving.

I mean Open OnDemand has been built for that purpose and is deployed in like 2000 locations at this point.

Not exactly just a single city, Adler&Sullivan designed buildings across the US.

It's really amusing when you tour something like Casa Loma[0] in Toronto (a gothic revival house) and then compare it to the Darwin Martin house[1] in Buffalo, which was built basically 10 years before. I can't imagine visiting a FLW house in the early 1900s and then building a super kitschy castle.

FLW almost always gets very generous interpretations of his intentions. I've been to 5 of his houses (including this one) and I've not heard anything negative about him on the tours. I say this as someone who likes his houses a lot (and considers themselves as someone who's gotten over the "FLW is overrated" hump).

The traditions are present in (probably) every European country. I think it's a combination of:

* One public broadcasting channel 40-50 years ago

* Someone decided to play a movie in the holiday period when most people sat around a TV

Norway has Tre nøtter til Askepott, Germany has Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel (they are the same Czech movie).

404media is heavily invested in the anti-datacenter reporting. I'm still subscribed to their RSS feed and like half the posts are datacenter focused (often with a misleading angle).

There are templates for deploying NixOS but almost all that I've encountered are heavily opinionated and thus only kinda work for specific people (usually the ones that designed them). Then when you want to customize them it's almost always easier to start from scratch.

I wonder how common this set-up is, but it's what I settled on as well (my flake contains 8 other NixOS hosts with common home-manager config).

Sometimes I wish I could control more things using nix-darwin but then I remember I like mostly defaults on System Settings.

> if you play any competitive games that come with anti-cheat features, then you won't be able to join in the fun.

I'd say it's a majority of games that won't work if they require anti-cheat, but some will.

Could you publicly shame the distro that had that issue? Pretty sure it should be the default (on NixOS at least it is).

The man is by all accounts not a hedonist when it comes to food and drinks.

I settled on that after trying to be extra careful with TOTP. Now my split is 95% of passwords, TOTP codes and passkeys in 1Password, 5% (really important stuff like email) in an offline KeePass DB + passkeys on Yubikeys.

1. Upgrade to Emacs version +1

2. Remove MELPA packages that are now part of Emacs

3. Go to step 1 when new version comes out

Pretty sure at $1,400 it's cheaper than most worthwhile eBikes on the market.

Wheelchair yourself in and out.

I'm probably a heavier user of reddit than most but I recently deleted the reddit app on my phone because it's just too much. I still use the site though, but now I use an iPad with old.reddit to make using it as difficult as possible.

Claude's "write me a product description like a cool human would" is just using lower-case where it shouldn't be though.

In a pursuit of saving even more money, I noticed a lot of T14 ThinkPads have missing/broken keys. Replacement keyboard is $20 and a few minutes of work. Worth about a $50-$100 discount.

Very nice, I was looking for something like this to scrobble to both Lastfm and listenbrainz.

Yeah the headline made me think "oh god they are trying to get away with their scam for the third time".

Hopefully Plex (PlexAmp specifically) will support this at some point.

People run NixOS on their Omnias, that's enough for me.

They are disposable, they just last way longer than any of their competitors. They are not on the level of upgradability as the Framework (anymore).

Also Barnes & Noble weirdly

It feels like a reply to the IPv8 draft[0] that got viral yesterday.

I thought it was just Tailscale trying to style their blogpost into a news article.

Honestly I think kitchens have way less stuff than a lab like this and following Alton Brown's advice of avoiding "unitaskers" will basically guarantee you don't get overwhelmed.

pon.wiki is a great resource
