I’m using Syncthing, though not the Android version. After reading the forum thread, the whole situation seems to be mishandled pretty badly. I wouldn’t feel comfortable entrusting my sensitive data to them after such a sketchy handover process. As mentioned by the others there, it’s suspiciously similar to browser extensions being sold to the data mining / adtech companies.

it looks very much like this

if it had been handed over to someone with a long-lived github account, who was known in the community it would be one thing

but a 3 week old account? I'll be staying the hell away


The kit I bought last year for €200 is around €800 now. Crazy!

The HDD performance suffers very much during the portal loading sequences in Ratchet and Clank, but even the entry level SSD performs fine, with little visible difference compared to the PS5 one. It’s more about random access speed than pure throughput

It’s not some mystical thing, but a matter of smart urban design. Oslo and Helsinki have managed to achieve zero road deaths in a year without eliminating vehicles. You don’t need to accept a certain amount of deaths as some sort inevitability or a necessary sacrifice.

Sony’s current tactics is to publish all their releases on PC 6-12 months later. Doing this expands the potential player base and even makes some players to double dip and buy the game twice


If this Steam Machine really takes off and starts impacting Sony's ability to sell Playstation consoles, you bet your ass Sony will stop porting games to PC.


It ultimately comes down to the price. If it’s low enough, I’ll get Steam machine as a living room indie box and for streaming from my main desktop. I would feel bad for overpaying for 8 gigs of VRAM in 2026.


Two popular apps mentioned in the earlier discussion in Homebrew repo are Librewolf and Freetube.

I actually tried to install Librewolf today and it wouldn’t go because of gatekeeper. Ended up on Waterfox instead.

Would’ve preferred Librewolf because that’s what I run on my other desktop running Linux but what can you do…


You can still use Librewolf, if you manually remove the quarantine attribute after every update and reboot. It’s very annoying, but at least it’s possible for now

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LibreWolf.app


Oh wow, thanks for that, makes things even easier than “Find app and ctrl click”.


...or automatically remove the quarantine attribute: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45913209


I remember seeing this photo all over the internet, usually with “Think different” caption. Thanks for the reminder!


Fedora Atomic, maybe? I would have probably found it a bit too restrictive as a teen, but I think it’s a good choice for preventing a younger child from accidentally breaking the system, while still providing enough ability to experiment and learn stuff using distrobox


Breaking the system is the point! Let them break stuff, you learn when you have to fix it afterwards.


Organic Maps is very close to be that gorgeous OSM app. Unfortunately, it still lacks a lot of functionality that’s missing from OSM dataset, and is present in most commercial mapping apps, like the opening hours for businesses, public transport schedules or user reviews.
