Hey everyone, I created this small app for a personal problem I had for years, that Razer refuses to create something for Linux and it's almost impossible to remap buttons in mice if you don't have synapse, especially the ones that are not easily found like tilt wheels and so on.

I created this small app that aims to basically solve that specific issue, I also added some lighting controls via OpenRazer daemons if you have them installed. This is entirely userspace, no DKMS or anything. It works by adding a udev rule that allows you to interface with the hidraw device in /dev and, by reverse engineering the firmware, I managed to send commands to the mouse and basically replicate the functionality.

It's an early idea and it's being built, but I am already using it for a few weeks, wanted to get some opinions and more mice support

khaosdoctor··on Mounting Proton Drive in Linux Like in Other OS's
Hello everyone, I wanted to share this small project that I have.

It's born out of a necessity that I had, because Proton doesn't ship a Linux version of the drive yet (it's apparently coming out later this year but who knows?) and all the current solutions are hacky and wonky at best. But for the time being I really needed to mount my Proton drive on my Linux machine the way I mounted it on my Mac, so I (and my faithful AI slave) did this small utility that allows you to mount your Proton Drive in a FUSE FS like if it is a local folder.

It's fully written in Go because Proton's drive SDK and API libs are all in Go, and there's a community project on top of the reverse engineered proton API there too. I am not a Go developer, I know the foundations, so of course I used AI quite a lot, I am not super proud of it, but I am using it daily and testing it myself for a few months before releasing here.

Hope you like it, feedbacks are welcome, just please be mindful of the person on the other side :)

khaosdoctor··on Don't paste the AI, please
I asked it to write the initial version and then refined it later on, there was an AI review on it yes, but anyway, hope the point is made

I added that because people started attacking me since it was a bit angrier at first (the angry version was the only one) and they didn't want to send to colleagues or anyone else, just close friends so they asked me to add a smoother version and to say it's a joke

This was actually a small rant from that same day, a colleague had pasted a list of 20 bulletpoints, all of which had some weird stuff in it but overall they were right. This is why I added "Especially the bullets", English is not my main language so I tried to translate myself, but vocabulary sometimes is lacking, sorry about that
khaosdoctor··on Don't paste the AI, please
I actually wrote it all myself... The original version was the angrier one only, but people complained that it was too angry, so I tried to smooth it out with another version people could use.
khaosdoctor··on Don't Paste the AI, please
Thanks for sharing my little rant again <3 we are looking for translations too!
khaosdoctor··on Don't just paste the AI at me
After reading the comments here I added a "Work-safe" version, along with the angry version so you can send this to your coworker too.

Thanks for the feedbacks!

Thanks for the heads up! I tried the first domain but cloud flare for some reason didn't allow me to purchase it

But now it's done! Both domains now point to the same place :)

khaosdoctor··on Anthropic, please make a new Slack
I didn't even know this company before this article
khaosdoctor··on Anthropic, please make a new Slack
Precise argument here
khaosdoctor··on Anthropic, please make a new Slack
I mean, the idea itself (of having <insert your AI minion here> inside Slack) has crossed my mind multiple times, and I have successfully extract some data using AI from it and it's actually really useful.

But I agree, having Anthropic building this is like having DJI building planes because they know how to create things that fly.

khaosdoctor··on Show HN: Deco.cx – realtime TypeScript web editor
This is AWESOME! I’ve been looking to find something like this for my pages for ages.

The Deno core using TypeScript is the ABSOLUTE BEST mix ever. Loved the work you guys are doing. Hope you continue to disrupt even more!
