Nice project but the writing smells so much of LLM that I didn't manage to finish the article

It could have told me that the game doesn't work on mobile before downloading all the assets

Depends on what you mean with "it runs". Does it boot? Probably. Can you use your WiFi adapter or graphics card? Probably not

I use plain WireGuard. My use case is very simple: I have a server and a few clients (phone, laptop) I want to connect to the server when I'm away. I don't care to have VPN connectivity between my phone and laptop

What's the advantage of adding a VPS to the mix?

I like Tailascale as a product but I decided to move my homelab to plain WireGuard.

I wasn't using any of the additional features, I can get away with exposing a port on my router and I am changing devices rarely.

News like this make me happy I removed a lot of complexity and attack surface

Arc felt designed for the general public, Dia feels very much designed for a project manager that spends all of its day in web applications.

Even the login screen asked for “your work email”…

Do you request a version tag or a hash? In principle Docker tags are mutable

I’ve never used it but https://trynix.dev/ should allow you to find the versions of nixpkgs with specific versions of a set of packages

It can. For instance I have a flake where I define all of my machines, share some confit between them and have clearly defined customisation points.

Form that configuration I can build everything on one of my machines and push the builds to the others. Or each machine can do its own builds.

Have a look at projects like NixOps or Colmena to see some more automation on top of standard builds targeting other machines.

I have a Kobo Clara Color. I like the product but colors are mostly a gimmick. Useful for the occasional chart and for books cover and that’s pretty much it.

Don’t expect iPad quality color, they’re very washed out.

I think a dedicated e-reader is a great choice (I only read books, not comics or other graphics heavy documents) but for that grayscale would be more than enough and color is an extra.

I would recommend you to go to a store and have a look live at a color eink screen to get a feel for what they offer.

I found https://smc.peering.tw/ fascinating. It shows an up to date status of submarine links to Taiwan and you can see many of them are having outages. Even more interesting is the historical view showing that the system operates in an always partly degraded regime
