A hobbyist and/or hacker who may or may not be a threat to open source companies everywhere. My opinions are my own.

If y'all want to backup git repos, look into "git bundle" (built into git) This won't backup non-git data (issues, PRs / MRs, topics, etc), but it's better than nothing.

Why don't more devices support DisplayPort Dual-mode? If HDMI licensing fees are a problem, wouldn't it make sense to slowly shift users away from the HDMI port.

I (unfortunately) can't switch to Linux because: - Linux doesn't have On-Demand Cloud Storage - Wine doesn't support WinTab or Windows Ink - Proton doesn't support some games I like (minor) - LibreOffice isn't as polished as MS Office (minor)

Linux doesn't have a standard for Cloud Sync Engines (On-Demand Files), so I'm stuck with Windows (unless I decide to get a Mac)

Heavenly and Kirkwood only post condition updates on X / Twitter. I'm a bit surprised that they didn't set up any alternatives, but oh well.

Synology QuickConnect relies on Let's Encrypt for direct and regional wildcard certs, but the company isn't listed as an ISRG sponsor. It feels scummy to build a commercial product that depends on a nonprofit service like Let's Encrypt and not financially support it.

atproto aha moments: - you can host your data - it's just json - it's typed but any app dev can invent those types - records have URIs - records are signed so cacheable without trust - relay aggregates everyone’s events into a global stream - backends subscribe to relay and update local DBs
