Already paying for copilot and the integration into editors is significantly more useful for me.

For this I have a NAS with a pretty basic script that runs nightly to clone any new repos I have and update those already backed up. They get organised into a directory structure mirroring that of Github: `./github.com/user/repo`

If of any use to anyone else: https://gist.github.com/wjdp/a20cb15f76b651124b3b27cde06d121...

Had random wifi dropouts in student flat = took far too long to work out we had a leaky microwave

Just finished moving my rig to the T1 this week. It's a very impressive case.

The Mjolnir was what I'd been after for a while but I think the T1 was a better choice for me due to the flexibility it offers.

While ncdu does the job I've found gdu (similar tool written in Go) significantly faster for larger directories.

This does frustrate! On more than one occasion I've spun up a create-x-app project just to see what an implementation looks like to then do it manually inside an existing project.

Then again when I'm greenfielding having the option to be up and running in 2 minutes is rather nice.

Shame, used it a few times when they had a Monzo integration. Was really neat having a receipt show up in a banking app, despite the limited merchant support. Seems that went away a while ago.

This idea has fantastic utility but needs an awful lot of work to get running. AFAIK every merchant needed an integration in their point-of-sale system.

To pay for that I assume they were selling lots of data, something which makes it then less attractive from a consumer point of view. I wonder how much they could do / get away with without active consent.

This quote really hammers the authors point home, I remembered this article on this alone:

> But the GOV.UK pages are written in simple HTML. They are designed to be lightweight and will work even on rubbish browsers. They have to. This is for everyone.

Thought the same! Scale includes everything from a minor AC fault through to entire building burning to the ground.

Was confused at first as toil is also 'time off in lieu'. AKA unpaid overtime, where you're not paid but get compensated with holiday.

Yes, we've seen multiple short outage periods over the last month or two. It feels like their 'standard' CDN isn't very good and they want to push you on their "Enterprise-grade global edge network" for anything worth keeping up.

That plus the recent covert price hike has us moving to Cloudflare pages.

Time based One Time Password. The app or password manager stores a secret, which when combined with the current time yields a OTP.

Just installed it to play around. Really nice to have a purely offline app in this space.

What did surprise me is the unskippable 'splash screen' with the sponsor message before the app is usable (several seconds), this would really annoy me if there's no way to get rid of it.

Another user of tweek here, loving the competition in the space though! The fact this can run offline without an account is great.

Yes it does, but that ship has sadly sailed. Though, on reflection, if I was on the other side of the argument I'd probably be for it.

Looks to be Mac only, any good cross platform alternatives?

No longer resolves.

Any way to download the whole set?

What keeps me using Font Awesome is the npm packages and ease of integration into frontend frameworks. This set it seems you need to download each icon you want to use, copy into project &c.

Been using it in Gitlab for a while, was rather surprised Github didn't support it when I pushed a repo there.

There was an outstanding feature request on their forum for quite some while so didn't hold my breath for this to be added but glad it has.

I use a ThinkPad P14s running Ubuntu, runs two monitors fine: HDMI on one and USB-C to DP cable for the other. Had another ThinkPad previously with same port config also fine.

Looks cool, could definitely see myself using this.

However, is this a commercial project? Would be worried about relying on it as it doesn't seem to have had any updates since 2020.

Mix of things mean I haven't changed it (yet) - As you point out having on a shared server isn't great. I do want a separate device for DNS, I don't want the network down because the 'everything server' needs a reboot. - aand when it breaks I don't tend to be in the mood to fix it. Usually late in the evening when watching telly. It usually needs a reboot or `pihole-FTL.db` has gotten to several GB in size and needs deleting. But I'm sure it's getting closer to being unrecoverable.

I've also got it doing DHCP so every device gets a <hostname>.<network>.uk domain, plus it handles some static records as well. Means it's not just a quick swapout, need to find and migrate the custom stuff I've done to it. Most of this should be in a git repo but unsure if all of it is.

The joys of overcomplicating home networking!

Have had the same problems, though it's always the Pi chewing up the SD card, a new card solves it. These guides really need a warning saying "If you find this useful, switch to using a server that doesn't rely on an SD card after ~6 months"

The Pi is fantastic for getting a taste of self-hosting / home automation as it's so cheap but by no means should it be relied on.

I moved our Home Assistant install to a docker container on basic PC and it's been rock solid after several SD cards were eaten by the Pi. Though I still have DNS (via PiHole) running on a Pi and that's starting to act up.

Only time I've found Pis reliable is when they either don't write much or are running a read-only disk most of the time. We've a network audio player using piCorePlayer[1] on a Pi running for years and never had an issue, it's running tiny core linux and only makes the disk r/w when you're upgrading or changing settings.

I'm tempted to move my MQTT server to a Pi using tiny core as that'd keep messaging up while I'm rebooting or doing some other task on my single server. Something like http://akeil.net/posts/mosquitto-mqtt-on-tinycore.html

I'm using https://github.com/codebicycle/videospeed

This extension adds keyboard shortcuts as well as a UI to all <video> elements (YT and other sites). I have 'G' set playback rate to 2.2x.

Honestly sounds like you might want a tiling window manager

Most of the time a workspace only has a single app in it and when I want a terminal side-by-side it's just one button press away.

Unsure if I could live without the right thumb cluster but would be really interested in a write-up/photos of this project.

Huh always thought because of the blue LEDs it was electronic and dismissed it as "nice but would have been better if mechanical", turns out it it's actually a feat of mechanical clockmaking.

Oh go on then, a duopoly with fairly entrenched user bases and no real chance of additional players.

There is a UI problem on GH with forks. (From my limited experience) most profiles that are full of forks the person just uses forks like they would stars. No branches or PRs made. I'd guess, cynically, this is to fill out their profile.

On the other hand a profile of meaningful contributions looks the same on the surface.

If nobody can buy these displays, who is keeping the E Ink corporation in business?
