Wait, you’re serious? You use emacs for knitting patterns? Fascinating.

I have no real interesting in knitting, but I would be interested in seeing this workflow.

Civil engineering as a hobby, eh?

Emacs makes a better row counter than basically anything else.

You mean like wc -l?

And bikes, and computers

Don’t really care about the drama, but I can appreciate this:

this is exactly why we do open source. when a closed product or exclusive channel is used as leverage, the correct response is to remove the leverage.

The concept of a lone ship without Federation support stuck far away from home is compelling. Throughout the series, they go through some shit.

I want to see community DCs like we have community gardens. Municipal plots for hobby computing or offsite subsistance storage.

I won’t say VPSs don’t have their utility, but anyone framing it as an alternative to owning a PC is completely DeLuLu and need their head examined.

I’ve been trying using a VPS entirely as a development box. Something that has my entire development environment in it. Then I can just SSH to it from wherever and always have my workspace ready where I left off in tmux.

It has it’s pros and cons. But it’s definitely not a crazy idea. In fact it’s a pretty old idea.

Even game streaming has gotten some traction. And when GPUs all cost $4k, maybe GeForce streaming isn’t a bad financial choice.

I likely won’t be using it, but I can appreciate any Reddit alternatives.
