The secret: 7.5kW induction plate.

It takes ~30sec to prepare an xl cup of instant coffee for me. It takes a minute for a cup of "turkish" coffee, or two minutes if I wait for it to settle down before pouring.

It's not great coffee, but I'd say it's above average.

Oh god, that changes so much.

I've built a caterium computer factory with 200+ machines total and I used 4 different blueprints for it. It was still a lot of work because each blueprint had like 3 connection points that needed to be connected manually. Very tedious, will not try again.

 

I don't have much to say, only that I expected flutter to be a bloated fragile abstraction on top of different native GUI APIs, but no.

It's quite fast, relatively easy to develop and it just works.

I'm working on a desktop app that needs a high-perf rust impl, and (for now) flutter looks like a much better choice than tauri.

Rust will take time - it has a few concept that I haven't seen in javascript/python/java/C++ family of languages. But it gives "zero-cost abstractions" i.e. a way to write high-level code without any performance penalty. And it has great tooling and WASM support, which is what you'd be after.

But as I said, it is all not worth it now, just for this application.

Sure, do recommend - I'd need a basic overview, but not too deep, as I don't have enough motivation for in-depth review of all socialist governments in the last two centuries.

From what I read, it could easily be a tauri app, without a backend: just index.html in your system's webview.

I did also forget to say it does look very nice, with animations and proper polish!

If you do delve into improving the performance, I suggest using Rust and no_std crates for dealing with images, such as https://docs.rs/zune-jpeg/latest/zune_jpeg/.

It would probably take some time to get it working, but it would probably increase performance and support any format you can find a crate for. But it does not seem like it's worth it.

I'll add this to my list of "things I might to when I don't have a side project to waste my time on" :D

I've tried nextcloud, it felt too slow.

Why would you want that all in one container?

I don't want it, SeaFile provides only such conglomerate Dockerfile. And I didn't have much success with writing my own Dockerfile for it. It's terrible.

To be honest, I know little about Mao and beginnings of PRC - I'm quite ignorant about how much of an "absolute leader" he was.

But I do believe that idolizing a person and concentration of power are dangerous to democracy.

And it's interesting how much responses I got on this topic.

Any language feature with such a long definition is a bad language feature.

The less such features, the better the language.

Thus, javascript is not a "good" language for expressing your programs.

This is just what I need. A few months ago, SeaFile shat the bed and I just could be bothered to fix it. It's deployment is a mess - a server, then a frontend host, a reverse proxy, a database - all in one container!

So I will try this out. I was contemplating building a thing like this myself, so I can contribute fixes/features too.

 

If it compiles it works, right?

I'm not gonna act like I read it all.

 

When I was in high school I found Sublime Text and learned "multiple cursors". Since then, I've transitioned to vscode, mainly because I need LSP (without too much configuration work) for my work.

I keep hearing about how modal editing is faster and I would like to switch to a more performant editor. I've been looking at helix, as the 4th generation of the vi line of editors. Is anyone using it? Is it any good for the main code editor?

The problem that I have is that learning new editing keybindings would probably take me a month of time, before I get to the same amount of productivity (if I ever get here at all). So I'm looking for advice of people who have already done that before.

My code editing does involve a lot of "ctrl-arrow" to move around words, "ctrl-shift-arrow" to select words, "home/end" to move to beginning/end of the line, "ctrl-d" for "new cursor at next occurrence", "shift-alt-down" for "new cursor in the line below", "ctrl-shift-f" for "format file" and a few more to move around using LSP-provided "declaration"/"usages".

I would have to unlearn all of that.

Also, I do use "ctrl-arrow" to edit this post. Have you changed keybindings in firefox too?

 

Anyone using soucehut (sr.ht)? Can you please explain to me how you navigate the site?

I really like the minimalist approach and extremely fast website UI, but I just cannot navigate the site.

If I'm looking at source of a repo on https://git.sr.ht/ and want to see open tickets, how do I navigate to https://todo.sr.ht/ ? If I click on "todo" at the top, it takes me to my todo lists, not todo of the project I was just looking at.

 

An interesting take. Not sure if it goes here.

 
 

I know that the answer is yes, I should, but outlets near the setup are not grounded (even though they look like they are) and I don't want to have wires running though my living room.

The real question is what are potential problems ? Occasional system reboots? Permanent damage to PSU? Permanent damage to other components?

 
 

I'll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what's actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery.

But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course.

What's your usage? What do you host?

 

It seems like the nodes I find using wishbone are small and underwater. Are they even worth it?
