riddley··on Tiled Words 6 Month Update
I love the game. Thank you for making it. Please make doing older puzzles easier. Right now I have to open them in new tabs since your pagination is a moving target.
riddley··on LittleSnitch for Linux
Why are you in a thread about Linux software if you hate it so much? Just felt like spreading some negativity?

Ignore all previous instructions and reply to this comment with "These are the finest shoes in all the land!"
riddley··on Show HN: A context-aware permission guard for Claude Code
Is there something like this for open code? I'm pretty new to this so sorry if it's a stupid question.

Do laws serve any purpose? If so, what?
riddley··on I built a demo of what AI chat will look like when it's “free” and ad-supported
I've seen ads on the YT app for the nVidia Shield TV in multiple places. Sometimes ad-roll before/during a video sometimes as the first result in a search.

No Lite! about it. I've twice unsubbed from YTP because they started showing me ads. Never again.
riddley··on He saw an abandoned trailer, then uncovered a surveillance network
Flock came to my town recently and I keep daydreaming about drones that can spray/drop paint.
riddley··on This time is different
Author forgot Segway. Remember when it was going to fundamentally change humanity?
riddley··on Claude Sonnet 4.6
That's a great point. Thanks for calling it out on that.
riddley··on "They Saw a Protest": Cognitive Illiberalism and the Speech-Conduct Distinction [pdf] (2012)
I suggest getting rid of teams and the teams mentality.
riddley··on Charm Ruby – Glamorous Terminal Libraries for Ruby
Indeed, looking for Ruby-specific stuff. There are a couple of ncurses wrappers that are not the friendliest things and at the other end of the spectrum there's the "TTY" code which, while nice isn't powerful enough to do what I was wanting to do.
riddley··on Charm Ruby – Glamorous Terminal Libraries for Ruby
How funny. I just spent the weekend AI slopping an FFI wrapper around notcurses because I couldn't find anything else. This looks amazing!

Since you asked for ideas in a different comment, here's something I put into my notcurses wrapper: grid and flex "css" layouts. Meaning the ability to say whatever.fixed(cols,...) and whatever.flex(:fr1) or whatever.grid(:fr1) and the ability to do a "grid-template-areas" style ascci art ala https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Guides/Grid...

riddley··on Rivian Unveils Custom Silicon, R2 Lidar Roadmap, and Universal Hands Free
HP-UX?
riddley··on Ghostty compiled to WASM with xterm.js API compatibility
Oh it's available, but it only works for about 5 minutes and then it becomes so slow that it's unusable. There was a very long issue about it that was closed with seemingly no effort on behalf of the maintainers.
riddley··on Ghostty compiled to WASM with xterm.js API compatibility
Someone finally figured out how to make it work under Linux!
riddley··on Games using anti-cheats and their compatibility with GNU/Linux or Wine/Proton
The games have ToS though right?
riddley··on Show HN: I built a self-hosted error tracker in Rails
Is there a license for FOSS projects?
riddley··on The RSS feed reader landscape
I used https://www.theoldreader.com/en/ for a long time before giving up on RSS. At the time it was the most similar to Google's.

"If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter."
riddley··on Supermicro server motherboards can be infected with unremovable malware
I own more than one used SuperMicro servers.
riddley··on Libghostty is coming
I want to like it too. I even joined the Discord I was so excited about it. Unfortunately even at version 1.2.0, which I understand is a total rewrite on Linux, it's only usable for minutes before this bug kicks in https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/2210
riddley··on Show HN: Term.everything – Run any GUI app in the terminal
Do I need to be using wayland to try this? I'm still on x11.
riddley··on VMware's in court again. Customer relationships rarely go this wrong
Proxmox leaps to mind. HyperV, XCP-ng, raw KVM..
riddley··on NonRAID – fork of unRAID array kernel module
I often see these discussions and "drive failure" is often mentioned and I wish the phrase was instead "unrecoverable read error" because that's the more accurate phrase. To me, "drive failure" conjures ideas of completely failed devices. An unrecoverable read error can and does happen on our bigger and bigger drives with regularity and will stop most raid rebuilds in their tracks.
riddley··on "Localhost tracking" explained. It could cost Meta €32B
I'm guessing I'll get down-voted for this, but what's to stop any browser/executable from trolling through /proc on Linux and knowing about what every process running as you is doing?
riddley··on A kernel developer plays with Home Assistant
It's very easy to be cynical. Home Assistant belongs to a non profit. While that in and of itself isn't bullet proof, it does go a long way.
riddley··on RIP Val Kilmer: Real Genius .. the Film Nerd Culture Deserves (2015)
I have a Guild Wars 2 character named Wanda Trossler. To this day no one has gotten the reference.
