I wish HN supported markdown, at least the links.

What's wrong with custom backgrounds? I tried them and they worked amazingly well for me.

YouTube keeps banning his videos, but he keeps using it?

The irony.

Is it really dead?

I know they've instituted a paywall and haven't looked beyond it (can't travel right now due to family issues + COVID) but I always thought that there should be a place for the sites/apps that straight up charge you for their service, instead of milking you with ads or selling your data. Has the good old paid model invalidated the site so much in the eyes of its users?

For the uninitiated, what is the role of a controller in UniFi system? Is it always needed?

I recently bought myself an old, unsupported UniFi AP LR and set it up with a phone app, which, I presume, is a controller too? Chose UniFi to boost signal strength of my home network; works smoothly so far.

Are people using time trackers that are web sites, not native apps?

I kinda expected something apart from web browser to track my browsing activity, apart from other things. I don't know much about time tracking, though. Hope others more familiar with the niche will comment.

I googled this mirror (?) https://nord.news/2021/11/08/digital-nomads-are-looking-away...

What is TiddlyWiki good for?

But why?

Did it really have music like that? I only remember the sounds, for some reason.

Apparently, Windows 11' requirement of a relatively recent CPU is due to the need for TPM 2.0 https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-explains-windows-11...

Can anyone please explain what TPM (2.0) is and whether it works for or against me?

Is it possible to find Eurisko source?

> If you go to something that is not a mainstream PC you risk paying 90% as much for 10% as much CPU, the certainty of having at most barely enough RAM, software you can’t upgrade. Don’t do it it’s suicide.

ok, I'll reconsider whether I can really have a printer within the range of a USB cable to one of the servers that I already have. Thanks!

I do prefer Linux and in fact I intend to run 3 server machines at the place: a router, a file server and a VM server for running experiments.

I thought that for adding networking functionality to an older printer it would be best to use some kind of dedicated hardware print server. Is it really best to use a PC box for that?

EDIT: I would think about hooking a printer to one of my 3 server boxes, but it sits far away from any of them (more than the maximum meters for USB cable)

So, now macOS will run iOS apps; Windows will run Android apps. What's the Linux's answer?

What's Photon?

Must be the inertia. CPUs live long in server space: where I'm looking, server providers offer hardware for rent that is up to 10 years old, and AMD only started to rule CPUs in 2017.

E.g. the CPU on the VPS I'm renting is from 2013, and it makes perfect sense that it is form Intel.

Looks like a nice feature to have Android 8.0+ for [1]. Just learned about that because my older /e/ [2] phone is based on 7.1.2.

I dunno, when I first saw a Vocaloid on stage, my jaw dropped as I realized that in 10 years highly paid pop stars will be a thing of the past. Yet, it doesn't seem like music industry is switching to synthetic avatars.

I like Fraidycat: https://fraidyc.at/ (browser plugin, mostly)

SpeedFan? https://almico.com/speedfan.php

Hate to derail a thread, but why is Joe Rogan popular at all? I think he is a poor host.

I am not sure the bit depth and sample rates of web streaming services are simply the question of conserving bandwidth and not the result of some underlying limitation of some web standard.

I'm not so sure: there are internet radio stations streaming in 320 kbps (maximum bitrate supported by mp3), but I see none going above 16bit/44.1kHz, as if there's some kind of hard limit.

Thanks for the tips! I see someone selling '11gen 200Hz' plasma, where does that stand?

Isn't plasma screen susceptible to burn-out?

What search terms do you use?

TVs come in bigger sizes.

There seems to be a fashion for .io domains among the cool sites. From what I see, the domain isn't cheap: this one is $32.98/yr from NameCheap. When I am going to start a web experiment, I think I am going to go with .xyz which goes for $1, because I'm cheap.

Is there anything inherently useful in running a domain like .io?

KLOCKIS. Thanks for mentioning it! https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/klockis-clock-thermometer-alarm...
