nullwarp··on Urban Outfitters is selling 'vintage retro' iPods
Have you actually tried to run iTunes on windows? It's like a nightmare that never stops.
nullwarp··on Google's plan to stop Apple from getting serious about search
I really don't get why people keep promoting this idea of Apple buying Kagi.

People not invested in the Apple ecosystem also use Kagi and all it does is ostracize those people just like they did in the Dark Sky acquisition.

It's a terribly selfish idea.

nullwarp··on What's New in Python 3.12
While not as short as a proper operator .get("key", {}) does work.
nullwarp··on Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series: A Developer's First Impressions
You people are insufferable. Why even post this garbage?
nullwarp··on Apple has what it needs to launch its own Google replacement
That would be a sad sad day.

Apple Maps is terrible at navigation anytime you get outside of just the largest metro areas.

There's multiple roads where it will tell you constantly to take a U turn while indicating a straight line visually.

It routinely lags weeks behind road closures.

It's lane suggestions are laughable at best.

I've driven many many miles around the US and Apple maps is easily a distant third between Waze and Google

nullwarp··on Apple revamps iCloud.com with more features for drive, mail and notes
Will they finally add a way to download all your data without owning a Mac ala Google takeout?
nullwarp··on Valve is a wonderful upstream contributor to Linux and the open-source community
Oh shoot you are right, the FAQs really heavily implied it's just NVIDIA and I just left it at that.

I will add this to try this week.

Looks awesome but sadly limited to NVIDIA GPUs
nullwarp··on Philips Hue will soon force users to create an account
Hue devices require no flashing
nullwarp··on Philips Hue will soon force users to create an account
There are some quirks fixes that add support for a lot of these in zha that just haven't been merged yet but that you can add

nullwarp··on High-Tech Cars Might Be More Trouble Than They’re Worth
I have a 1995 F-350 Power Stroke that I will probably be buried in. There is very little in that truck I can't fix or change.

Slightly newer but also have a basic 2012 F-150 5.0 that is probably the easiest thing I've ever owned to work on that i daily drive.

Having worked on some of the newer Ecoboost's so many damn tubes and wiring everywhere.

nullwarp··on I rode with an ice road trucker to the Arctic Circle
Same! I've grown up around the industry and while it certainly has it's issues it's one of the few jobs outside of tech I've always wanted to do.

Thanks for posting this! I'm someone who's grown up in and around the trucking industry and this was a very interesting read.
nullwarp··on DIY ESP32 based chicken coop door. Control based on time, light or via app
Have the same door, has worked flawlessly for the two or so years i've had it I don't even think about it.

Really clever piece of engineering on the programming mode for sure.

nullwarp··on Hacking the LG Monitor's EDID
I'll add that this setup works great, ran it for a good couple of years before finally dropping it (not for any looking glass reasons, eventually just didn't need it anymore with proton).

Also loved that it integrated so well into OBS directly to stream from!

nullwarp··on The first conformant M1 GPU driver
Weirdly I have both of these as well and feel total opposite. Give me the Thinkpad keyboard any day of the week. The mac keyboard feels down right anemic.

I wish mac would stop making the track pad so damn big though, the amount of palm activations I have on that thing drive me bonkers.

nullwarp··on Scripting with Go (2022)
Oh very neat, thanks for posting I will definitely give this a try.
nullwarp··on DietPi – Lightweight justice for your SBC
It's been running it on a Pi3 for my garage door controller for well over 3 years (probably closer to 4 now) and I don't think I've logged into it more than once since I set it up. Really no complaints here.
nullwarp··on Managing Kitchen Fruit Flies with a Little Shop of Horrors
My favorite way to tackle this is to use a bowl of bait and one of those cheapo bug zapper rackets.

I take the racket and use a rubber band around the button to keep it "on" and then set the racket above a bowl of whatever bait I need to use.

I leave it there until the zaps finally stop.

Has yet to fail me in clearing out a fly infestation.

nullwarp··on Ten years of “Go: The good, the bad, and the meh”
Go really is great. There was a big argument around a new project we were starting whether to do Go or Clojure.

What we did to settle the debate was to ask an entry level dev that was just starting if he was interesting in writing two sample applications in each language, having known nothing of either. Nothing complicated but touched enough points (HTTP endpoints, database interaction)

A full day later was still trying to get the Clojure app working correctly.

He finished up the Go one in like an hour.

Since then we've brought new devs on with zero Go experience and they are up writing good code in a day. I can't imagine where we would be if we had gone down the Clojure route.

nullwarp··on Self-hosted photo and video backups directly from your mobile phone
For me I am using PhotoPrism + PhotoSync - it's an absolutely great combo.
nullwarp··on UnsuckJS: Progressively enhance HTML with lightweight JavaScript libraries
Yes! I don't think Mithril gets enough attention. It's my go to JS framework when I need more than Vanilla JS but don't need something like React.
nullwarp··on The FAA has granted SpaceX permission to launch its Starship rocket
This is really excellent and just a great example of the niche side of the internet I miss so dearly!
nullwarp··on Switching to Fedora from Ubuntu
If you don't setup an icloud account it shows you ads to sign up for icloud.
nullwarp··on When root on ZFS breaks on Arch Linux
Ah man been there, done that!

I now specifically use the dated archive mirrors for arch mirrorlist as well as the zfs-linux AUR package over the DKMS. Been a lot less of a headache dealing with it that way. I just bump the date up to as far forward as the two packages were aligned and off ya go.

I do wish the licensing would get sorted out because I love ZFS but dealing with always having to juggle that dependency is annoying.

Also mkinitcpio should be much more aggressive on failing on errors.

nullwarp··on Replacing my MacBook Air M1 with a ThinkPad T480
As someone with slightly larger than average hands - Yes it does, it happens all the time on both of mine.
nullwarp··on Open source cloud file system. Posix, HDFS and S3 compatible
Seaweed is excellent, use it in a bunch of places both big and small!
nullwarp··on Kysely: TypeScript SQL Query Builder
I'm a big fan of them over traditional ORMs and use knex in quite a few projects at this point. I find them a really good balance between full on ORM and just writing out pure SQL queries.

Definitely going to give Kysely a try on my next project

nullwarp··on Ask HN: What sub $200 product improved your 2022
I use home assistant with a set of Yale Zigbee locks but really any lock that can integrate to HA will do the trick
