I read about https://techposts.eu/ the other day, seems like a decent alternative, but needs some more traction.

Wow, this is extremely well done I think. Congrats for launching!

I recently started using paperless-ng, check it out, perhaps you can build on that. Includes tessarect for ocr for example.

I used it as a base for docker containers, but depending on project Ive found that sometimes the lack of locale support is making it a non-viable option. I read there are ways to get it working, but I never did.

I dabbled with home assistant and openhab for a while at home, originally I had planned to monitor some thermometers(not the usual light switches which seemed to be common). I ended up throwing openhab and hass away and is now running nodered together with mqtt. The thermometers are built with arduinos and different temp sensors and posting data to mqtt over wifi. Then nodered catches any writes to the mqtt topics and passes them on to store in tsdb over its rest api. This way, I don't need to mess with the rest api on the thermometers which is very nice.

Since then I added a lot of other things to nodered, I added the coming bus departures, and data from oue heating pump.

Not sure I would use nodered in a business, but if zapier was the option I would perhaps try it. It saves a lot of pipeline for deployment and such which code would need(or at least I would require).

Also, the node red dashboard makes the above even better, I have an android tablet mounted in a frame in the kitchen to show some of the data above.

Well worth a try, I'd say.

I really enjoy lucid chart, after using gliffy for a long time, I am now stuck on lucid.

I've long dremead of a architecture view that was zoomable, zooming in enough would end up on the actual code, but zooming out a lot would show you app server +database basically.

If they keep the trend there will also be at least 4 different folders called Photos in 4 different places by default, and none of them goes to the same photos.

Isnt that the same as samsung are doing with their devices? They come up with a phone/tv/dishwasher that have 550Ghz/100Mpix of whatever, but no clue for what it should be used. Its just "faster, and look, very large screen"

If samsung didnt produce stuff for others they might have been in the same situation, probably a bit better but close.

I guess the sony vaio line wont be missed if it goes away, I've never come by a vaio which as nice/good.

What is RE and where can this tool be found?

Couldnt agree more, thunderbird is ok, but its fairly slow and hasnt gotten much improvements usability-wise since netscape mail, its basically the same.

Speedwise its not up to par either I think, searching is quite bad, but this might be issues really with imap rather than anything else. My last efforts have been beefing up our mailserver and also adding full text indexing for searching which helped a bit but there is still a long way to go to get it really instant.

Developer likely said: - Oh crap, its test data, I used the current candidates with past elections data just to make sure it was working. Result in the news after some levels of PR handling people: - No problem, its just past elections data.

Is it just me beeing blind, or does it not support https?

But can I host this on my own server?

Interesting the me as a Swede, I read about this "problem" at HN first. Never read/heard anything about this in mainstream swedish media. I might if course have missed it, but if its such a big problem as the article like to state, I like to think I should have heard of it, otherwise it would be fair to question the sources of this.

You have a valid point, but theres another side to it. The hardware that works great are the hardware that developers tend to use. The worst low-end lexmarks which are barely good enough for one cartridge cycle is not something any computer enthusiast/programmer would spend time on makeing work.

Since I switched to linux on my laptop 100%, around 2003 somewhere, I always tried to pick hardware which is professional grade, not home/consumer end. Although a bit more pricey to start with but most of the things have lasted since then as well.

After watching that, I'm amazed X works as well as it does every day. :)

Couldnt agree more, this is the current biggest pain of linkedin...

...or perhaps the recruiters sending email such as "I see you have worked with purely with linux and mysql, how about you applying for this 100% microsoft-stack company as a sharepoint/exchange professional." That might not be linkedins fault the recruiters seems stupid, but it should be in linkedins interest to not annoy me with such crap.

Did you get it running? I compiled on debian stable and the app runs, but segfaults as soon as i try to read an email. There is really a need for an improved imap client, thunderbird is good but innovation feels like it got stuck.

Very nice, this is very much needed. I had the exact same idea, which I worked on for a while about a year ago, as with lots of projects, it didnt get finished. :)

As other have commented, a discussion area for each change would be very interesting, especially if there are multiple changes happening at the same time.

I can imagine not everyone want this focus on changed tos, but its very good the user can easily get the information.
