rie_t··on IRCv3
Yeah it'd need to be some kind of secondary infrastructure - I don't see it being part of any official IRC spec any time soon. But it would absolutely make IRC more appealing to the "average" user.
rie_t··on IRCv3
An IRC client with an extension for image/video embeds and a voice chat (with video/screenshare support) would go far.
rie_t··on ESP32-S31
Love to see more RISC-V in the wild
rie_t··on Reactionary Me: Windows ME KDE Plasma Theme
I love seeing stuff like this, very nostalgic, looks amazing.
rie_t··on Classic 7 is a Windows 10 LTSC mod to look 1:1 to Windows 7
I really do miss the design of Windows 7 and the apps of that era (think Office 2007 style)

I hope it comes back

rie_t··on W – The European social network for verified humans
This website is so laggy I can barely even scroll.
rie_t··on I built my own hair electrolysis machine
This is very impressive... The temptation to build my own now...
rie_t··on I built Fluxer, a Discord-like chat app
I'm looking forward to when they get federation support, so that I can finally convince people to move away from a certain popular chat platform.
rie_t··on Show HN: Void, an open-source Cursor/GitHub Copilot alternative
I think more competition in the "AI Editor" space is good, but I have to ask – why not make it a VSCode extension? I feel it'd be much more accessible.

Are there limitations in the extension APIs that make it hard to implement?

rie_t··on BlueJ – A Lightweight Java IDE
I remember having to use BlueJ at University... I found that it makes programming so much harder. New window for every file, no ctrl+click following references, no auto-formatter, no easy sidebar tree of files...

I ended up using vscode and just copying the files into BlueJ before submitting my assignments.

rie_t··on 460M Indian Internet Users Are Now on IPv6
NAT is not a security feature, nor is everything publicly exposed to the internet on IPv6. With most routers you would have to explicitly forward a port in the router to expose that to the client anyways.
rie_t··on How LCEVC works – A new approach to video compression
This is something I've been wishing for for ages - I'm glad to find out it's a real thing now. It's a shame about the licensing, but it's a good start.
rie_t··on Dav1d, fast AV1 decoder, version 1.0
SVT-AV1 has massively improved encoding speed. I was getting ~4x encode speed with some heavy compression (barely any noticeable quality drop) on 1080p/24fps footage on my Ryzen 7 3700X just yesterday.
rie_t··on Dav1d, fast AV1 decoder, version 1.0
I'm praying that Apple starts supporting AV1 soon...
