  • The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues

    Jump

  • I agree. About 10 years ago I had a some unstable dependencies hit in the middle of a major crunch/product release at work. When it was vital I was productive, I was instead trouble shooting my laptop. I moved to mac the next day and was surprised how far the OS had come, and that I could run zsh, nvim etc. Not to mention since apple silicon its rare I need to take a charger with me anywhere.

    I still have a linux thinkpad for personal use, and all my personal servers are linux. My heart is linux, but a lot will have to change to take me away from a macbook.

  • Hahaha. She’s not wrong.

  • Some TODO app called Emacs?

    Jump

  • I think I might have seen a build or two even back then. However, what I need from a mobile app isn't to provide all of emacs, but rather just satisfy a few key use cases. Providing everything comes at the cost of usability, which is a key requirement for a mobile app. Really I just need to capture notes and tasks and see task lists, but trying to use the mobile emacs in the middle of a conversation, commuting, or grabbing coffee isn't ideal.

    There were a couple of 3rd party apps that were designed for orgmode, but after I trialled, but they all fell short for me.

    Even if it had the best mobile app now however, I wouldn't go back to emacs. Each to their own, but I've become way more aligned with the unix philosophy of "do one thing, and do it well", where as I see emacs more as "lets do as much as we can in one app". IMO Ofc.

  • Some TODO app called Emacs?

    Jump

  • I went the ohterway with Emacs -> Logseq -> Obsidian, but with several things in between. Emacs isn't for me, I did give it a red hot go and coded off it for a good year or two about 10-15 years ago.

    HOWEVER, I have to agree. Emac's Orgmode is first class and I've never been as satisfied with a task app since. However, at the time I was using it, mobile support was pretty much nonexistent, and I was missing vim too much, so I eventually abandoned it.

    Now i just use a selfhosted instance of memos, which is sparse on its feature set, but works well for me.

  • Guardian reporting on antisemitism plan proposed by government. Sweeping proposals including withdrawing funding from unis. Envoy claims that academia is steeped in antisemitism.

  • If you try to define abstract nouns, they lose their magical ability of allowing governments to do whatever the fuck they want.

  • Anyone who has set foot on a university campus should see this for what it is. You would like to think such a blatant attempt to silence dissent under the banner of antisemitism would hurt their cause.

  • Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner?

    Jump

  • IMO, you want ram more than you want processing power. 16 gig ought to be enough. Most of the time your containers will sit dormant and just consume memory. However since you want to run Jellyfin, get a recent CPU which can do hardware decoding of popular codecs. There's charts online that show what generation can handle what codecs. Ideally you don't want that done by software. You should still be able to find something cheap.

    In terms of placement. It depends a lot on noise IMO. If you're running something small without magnetic storage, you're probably fine to stick it anywhere. If you have several data-centre grade hard drives, you will probably want to keep it somewhere where you wont hear it all day.

    In terms of upgrading, I'm not sure if its as much of a concern as you might think. I run probably about 30 docker containers off a NUC clone and a seperate NAS, and that has worked pretty well for the last few years. I can always add more drives to the NAS, but otherwise its fine. Also, many of my services scale to zero with sablier+traefik, and I schedule filesharing for low bandwidth times. This makes things pretty manageable.

  • Australian doctors call for clampdown on social media influencers allegedly glamorising poker machines

  • Influencers are pests and an insidious blight on humanity, but this feels like a new low for them.

  • What is a good adhd hack for those cases during which you want to do a million things but are paralyzed and can't?

  • What works for me is starting on an easy and rewarding chore first. With ADHD, the promise of distant rewards are a poor motivator. What works is to incorporate the reward into the first task and you will find its easier to move on to the next task. I.e., take the dog for a walk, but grab an icecream/coffee/beer whatever while you're doing it. Think about the the things you will do next while you're on that walk. YMMV, but this is how I do it.

  • NSW to ban people from appealing if working with children check denied

    Jump

  • I assume a working with children check wouldn't have a high standard of evidence and a candidate probably doesn't need a conviction to fail the test. E.g., it would be enough for a previous employer to say "Oh yeah we couldn't prove it but we had some serious complaints that he was fiddling kids". If that is the case, I really don't feel comfortable with this direction. If its more of a case where theres some established quantifiable criteria that would never reasonably pass appeal, then sure... but I don't get what this solves except to save resources.

    It strikes me as opportunistic politics to appeal to the emotion of voters--which is just tacky when we are talking about something as serious as peoples careers and child safety.

  • I did the same but joined Tidal for the same reason. Their app isn’t terrible—could do with more features but it’s been robust in my experience.

  • Could this be the death of Australia's nightmarish welfare system?

  • 100%. There's so many people who want to "touch" the project so they can get some credit for it, making things take easily four times as long as it should and in the end you have an unmanageable, noncompliant mess.

  • Is it wrong or uncommon to judge people primarily on their worst moments/acts?

    Jump

  • When asked how he could admire an airforce general despite being a pacifist, MLK jr responded "I judge people by their own principles – not by my own.” Judge that redditor by the principle of someone whose career is helping children but instead exploits them.

    I agree it doesn’t matter how many children he’s helped. I’ve heard from my Hindu friends that good deeds won’t naturalise bad Karma. Im not religious and don’t believe in karma, but I think this is well grounded. It doesn’t matter how many children he has helped, it doesn’t change the fact that he has damaged so many others for sexual gratification.

    The guys a vile worm, and think you’re right to judge him.
