Harrumph!
kvandy··on Observation of zero resistance above 100 K in Pb₁₀₋ₓCuₓ(PO₄)₆O
My understanding is that this unlocks future-tech... Post quantum computing, hyper efficient rail tech, fast charging batteries, etc. Pretty neat stuff, and even cooler to be able to follow this as it develops.

kvandy··on Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
Any advice on the USB switcher? I've had a hard time finding one that was of high enough quality to be a daily driver. I need USB3 for my webcam as well

The app launch anxiety rings true for me. Discord is sensory overload for me.

kvandy··on MythTV 33 Released – open-source all-in-one DVR
Wow, had no idea this thing was still around. Takes me back to neo Kodi/XBMC/Windows ME days. So much hardware and software to accomplish what a small stick does today.
kvandy··on Google is screwed, even if it wins its antitrust case
Kagi has been a delightful experience for me for two months. Don't think I'm ever going back.
kvandy··on Ask HN: Recommend me a good set of 2.1 desktop speakers?
I've had a pair of Audio engine speakers for almost 8 years now and have no reason to change them. They're great!
kvandy··on Why America’s Railroads Refuse to Give Their Workers Paid Leave
I live on the east coast of the US and have only been to the UK twice, but I was blown away at the efficiency and relative cleanliness of the London and surrounding area rail systems.
kvandy··on NixOS 22.11 “Raccoon”
Seems like a good time to flatten my Dell windows 11 laptop and install Nix on it. I've really loved using NixOS in various VMs but the experience is so good I want to use it full time.

Any recommendations on how to best set up pre boot encryption and opt in state these days?
