I use a mix of Evolution[0] (GNOME's Thunderbird) and Geary[1]. Geary has a very nice UI, and can become mobile-like, and Evolution has much more support for automations and other niceities.

There's also alps[2], if you want a web based solution. I love it as well, though Geary is my most used solution.

> As for Windows, not only has kept its hybrid approach throughout the years, Windows 10 (optionally) and Windows 11 (enforced), runs as a guest on Hyper-V, with multiple subsystems sandboxed, DriverGuard, Virtualization-Based Security, Secure Kernel, UMDF.

Any source for this? This seems interesting to read about

This reminds me of an article I read somewhere (probably here in HN) wherein people implementing Banking Services just straight up test the API in Production after a few cycles of mock development, due to constantly having to deal with edge cases not present in the dev env.

My idea was even simpler tbh, I'd make a bunch of m3u files, and rename them with a SHA1 hash. Then just put the hash value in RFID tags. Yes, it's not as remotely extendable, but then again, I've like 5 or 6 offline-only playlists that I keep playing on repeat according to my mood, so I'd be fine haha

Maybe throw in album hashes or something. Extremely minimal, and everything inside the box. There won't be any Wi-Fi connections at all. Of course, this does limit some things, but eh. Maybe I'll add a WebUI for controlling volume and such, but that would be it, I guess :D

How cool! I've been wanting to build the exact same thing as your RFID-MP3 player, but thinking of going with a better DAC to power an amp+speakers combo.

I really, really miss CD and cassette players too. Vinyl is not my kind of thing, and CD Players nowadays are either unavailable or just too expensive for what they are.

My other choice was to just use a RasPi and an actual DVD player as a headless player, but I think doing it with a µC might be much more fun :D

Congrats on your project, though, they both seem and look really fun! Cheers <3

OpenWRT, CD and DVD Players, Kindles, and OpenBSD due to some recent HN article.

I knew about most of them a little or fair bit already, but there's always something to learn the deeper you go :)

Yeah, one of the “ends” being Facebook itself. It's “legal” as in it is indeed end-to-end encrypted in the same way Cloudflare-hosted websites are, but very shitty. I always thought Facebook did this, but having some confirmation bias is very nice indeed, lol.

Such an awesome find, I'm thinking of sticking this to my CI Pipeline now! :D

I use SQLite for a gameserver, having 3 different databases for different stuff. And this would be a lifesaver for others working on anything requiring the main database which has a lot of relations, thanks to normalizing it and having a lot of different but related data. Thank you for this!

Is that a choice question? Or does it require a subjective answer? If it's the latter, then the question is reasonable to some degree, I guess?

“Company 4 might be the best in terms of naive computer-calculated average, but anything that doesn't meet a particular standard generally should not be allowed by law to be used/built. So Company 1 is the only choice, and perhaps the best, subjectively.”

I think this is a good question for discussion, because a child might answer “Company 4” at first just by looking at it and averaging it as anyone without any context would, but then you could say something more about it. But, I don't think it was intended to be analysed or answered this way. Either way, dumb question to ask for a qualification exam IMO.

It's kind of weird to me that it starts from $139, a price range where you can buy a 65% Keychron mech keyboard[1], _and_ stuff like the Pinephone Keyboard[2]. The latter is not exactly comparable, since its more like a mini-keyboard stuck into a mini-sized case, but I still feel like $139 is a lot for something that you can't use beyond a single generation of a device. Maybe if it was modular and you could take out the keyboard from the case for easy upgradibility or something, the price could be justified?

There's also ViMusic, which is open source: https://github.com/vfsfitvnm/ViMusic/

I'm not sure about America, but from the place I'm from (SE Asia), having a laptop after graduation is quite common, and many times required.

Yeah, more and more people no longer need one, but having some sort of bigger screen helps a lot, even in reading or having multiple things open at once. I'm GenZ, and I can't imagine not having a bigger screen at home, or a laptop if I'm about to do anything more than read DMs.

It depends on how it's done, I'd say. On one side, there are companies like Sublime Text and JetBrains. Their subscription model is fair, to me atleast. Also, for most software that HN users would use, they'd likely have alternatives planned or data export methods available, so it's not an issue in that respect as well. On the other, there's stuff like Adobe which… well, I've no review because it's too expensive anyway lol

If you think about it, the reason Rust, or any other programming language were created, was simply because other languages had something lacking...

There's no single language that's the greatest. Haskell has different aims than Rust. If you're using Haskell for frontend development, you probably need to reconsider your choices, I think

Librem 5 is much more expensive, too. And the performance isn't even comparable.

It's not viable for a company like ASUS to go for the same approach. And not many consumers would buy them, either.

Asian here. Can relate, shit gets expensive here, too. My CPU was built in 2012ish, 8G DDR3, AMD 5450 and core i3 4th gen.

Except for the GPU, everything still runs fine. The current GPU is now AMD R7 240, which is, not great. But the most graphics intensive game I play are old school games and the most resource hungry apps are Electron apps(_reading this hurts_), so it tugs along really fine. I fixed it sometimes, 1 HDD died, and I had to fix the CPU cooler myself, but otherwise, it's still chugging along really nicely.

Oh, I'm running Fedora on it, and it also serves as a part-time media server, running Jellyfin with transcoding disabled. And lots of other stuff, however, nothing exposed to the internet directly(_behind a VPN_)

I prefer Svelte and Inferno mostly. However, for quick prototypes or side projects that I know I'm not going to need, I use a completely new framework, to experiment and have fun while learning something new.

It's pretty awesome stuff, but what could be a real use of PCIe in Raspberry Pi except for experimenting ? Just curious, but most things I can think of are probably going to bottleneck...

It looks cool. Will try it sometime.

Anyways, here are some better links which won't pressurize your eyes as much as the original article:

I use FreeBSD. It works fine, and I've configured it to be secure. Is there any reason for me to move over to OpenBSD ? I don't care about minimal or some reasons like that, I already have Alpine linux for that. Any other reason(s) ?
