I'm still not using anything advanced, so whatever the editor providers for me right now is enough. But I see people complaining a lot that Helix does not improve, but at the same time this is one of the key points of Helix, no? Stability.

I like the idea of NeoVim, but I've experienced the configuration hell and it's not fun. To some degree I would even prefer Emacs, it seams more stable since it's just Emacs and not many distros, and competing editors. But the philosophy of Emacs is not for me, trying to do all at the editor is such a broken thing.

Maybe once the plugin system is truly this will be less of an issue since the editor could be more customizable.

I'm not deeply familiar with Haskell and Scala, nor the niche languages that have built in effect systems. But I have a few friends in the Scala community and they swear effect system is the best thing ever and their applications are on a totally different level just by adopting it.

I'm wonder, would something like this work in Gleam? Would it get too complicated? What are the tradeoffs and mostly the benefits of adopting something like this?

My homelab is currently on Talos, my current issue? It's around 30k LOC Yaml. Everything is working, but I would love to have something simpler at some point. There is anything that has these features:

• Reproducible
• Defined as code / configuration files. I don't mind if it has an UI, but I don't want to configure it through the UI
• Be able to run the apps on top of things like Kata or gVisor
• Control over the network. Be able to select what the application can do at the network
• I don't care about cluster. I'll always be running in a single node

Sorry folks, I said 30k files, no no, 30k LOC in Yaml files. My bad!

I was watching a really nice video related to effects from him, but then I saw a few comments on Reddit with mentions that he left the language. His GitHub is mostly Typescript now 🤔

I got a Kobo on a local store and unfortunately I did receive the version P365 that has some touch issues. I did returned it and ordered one from the official Kobo store, then I went in contact with the support and asked to receive the N365B version that did not had the issue. Today the Kobo arrived, and indeed is the version N365B.

Open environment with a really good support. Hopefully I'll never touch a Kindle again.

Sorry, forgot to mention it was a Clara BW.

On this age of AI slop and shallow understanding I'm having a lot of fun learning and coding in Gleam. It's hard to describe how Gleam fits my own mental programming model. Go was the language I liked the most because of it's "simplicity". Yes, within quotes, because simplicity is relative and the languages pushes a lot at the developer by having a very minimalist type system. Gleam follows the same spectrum but I truly believe it's a simple language, and this time, with no quotes.

But still, Gleam is quite niche and not many engineers know about it. It's the lack of libraries? Killer apps? Companies using it? What do you think it's missing?

I think I can understand why since it would allow the internal representation to change without breaking the external contract. But damn, it's just too verbose, there is any other reason?

After some research I've decided to get a Kobo Clara BW. The device itself is amazing, and so far I'm liking it a lot. It's very clear to me that the Kobo is a reading device, while a Kindle is just another sales channel for Amazon.

After fiddling a little with the menus I've found something. At Settings > Accounts > Adobe it's showing the following to me: Not Authorized with Adobe Digital Editions

If I click that option it will show a popup saying 'Your eReader has been deauthorized'. If it's a brand new device, how can it be deauthorized?

I have a Kindle, but I don't have many ebooks. I'm almost decided on just buying ebooks now since I don't have more space for books at my home. But buying ebooks bothers me so much in terms of that I don't own the freaking book and Amazon can take it away from me at any moment.

On a Kobo, can I download the books to my computer, even if they're DRM protected?

I give up. Rust is the language that I need, but not the one I want. I'll simply stop worrying about the annoying parts of the language, for my workloads, and embrace it.

The pursuit of a new programming language on itself is not bad, you learn a lot about, in a very short span of time. But by the time you need to get the work done, yes, you need to go deep into one ecosystem.

Today, I can't think on a better ecosystem than Rust:

• Immutability
• Option/Result types instead of exceptions
• Enum
• Async support
• Reasonable enough ecosystem of libraries

There are also nice things that, are not required, but amazing to have like:

• Compiled
• Performant
• Multi threaded
• WASM support
• Run on multiple environments
• Low resource consumption

Yes, it's not pure FP, it does not have effect handlers, for my kind of high level applications I need to deal with annoying things like lifetimes and the borrow checker where a GC would be way simpler, but when you're putting everything together it's the best language in most of the categories for me.

On this seek I've used/evaluated: Scala, Kotlin, Zig, Odin, Go, Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, Ocaml, and Roc. I still have high hopes for Roc, but it's still too imature.

I'm not seeking validation, this is just me putting this words out as an acknowledge of the goodness of Rust and for others that may be on the same situation. Rust is not perfect, far from it, but it's the best effort/benefit that you can probably find today.

When we're on an event, let's say a kids birthday. You may take a bunch of photos, others will take a bunch more, in the end it would be nice to have an album that could aggregate all the photos. This is nice and possible today. But, it would be really nice if we could have some features enabled just on that album. For example, being able to search by the person on the album.

I'm wondering if this could be a possible new feature for Immich, enable face recognition just inside albums.

First of all, I'm grateful for all the work everyone is doing. I do value open source, and being able to jailbreak my Kindle to use Koreader and have control over my books is amazing. I really don't want to buy books from Amazon, and have no control over it. I bought, they're mine.

What I'll say now is for sure a problem with me and my kind of personality, but even using Linux, being a developer, and knowing my craft, I struggle with the overhead of tuning and changing a billion all possible parameters on a given tool before I even start using it.

For example, there is an famous text editor called Vim that allows the user to change so many things about it. Then developers spend more time tuning, fixing, breaking, and they keep repeating this cycle wasting countless hours. A tool that was designed to help us, becomes a blocker. I've switched from Vim to Helix that has a similar idea of text editing, but, without the configuration overhead. Is a bundled experience, it come as is, a few knobs to change if needed, and that's it.

Which brings me back to Koreader. I really do hope that this community don't get lost on plugins and patches and forgot the reason Koreader exists, to read books. On my side I'll probably remove all the plugins and patches that I have and see if I can live with Koreader alone.

Hi everyone! I have a Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen and I just did the jailbreak process using the SpringBreak.

• When the Kindle starts, it start on it's default view. Is this normal? I then need to go to the search and start koreader like this `;kpm launch koreader`. Not the end of the world, just annoying. It would be nice to open directly the koreader by default.
• At the base Kindle OS should I do anything or avoid anything? Like, I should never update my Kindle again. And the only thing that I may configure is the wifi to have access to the network. Is that correct?
• When koreader is open and I put the Kindle to sleep and it resume from sleep it shows the default Kindle OS/launcher, but if I click I'm actually on koreader. I just need to perform some action to then get the correct visualization. This is odd, there is anyway to solve it?
• Can I mount the Kindle on my computer through USB while I have koreader open?

For sure I'll have more questions about koreader, but I think for now these are my biggest questions.

I just want to know if there is any public information regards the white version of the X4 Pro. I'm ready to buy it, but I want the white version.

Well, this is not a proper review since I don't have the expertise for doing it, but my experience using the set since I received it.

I've owned a few IEMs over the years like Fiio FH3, TINHIFI T2, Blon BL03. A few headphones, and studio monitors. The Aful Explorer is simply on a totally different level.

I've been using the Fiio FH3, instead of a headphone, more since I'm in Europe and it's quite warm now. I do like the FH3, but the Explorer address some of the main problems I had with it. The highs sometimes are too harsh on my ears. The bass was there, but it was not as full as it is at the Explorer. Like, it has impact, but it's missing more body.

When someone mention that the Explorer has a warm signature, that is the perfect description. I would never use it for a critical listening session, but for listening to music while I work and or just "enjoy music", damn, it's the best I ever had or listened too.

I can't compare with pricier sets, since I don't have them, but I have a hard time imagining a better price/value ratio than this one.

While I'm typing this I'm listening to some EDM music and it hits HARD 😅! Looks like I have a subwoofer inside my ears, but it's not muddy, is just tasteful low end.

The cable, case, and tips are also really good. The eartip that comes with it fits perfectly and I don't think I'll roll.

I'm really very happy with this purchase. Once I decide to buy a new set I'll probably raise a post here asking what is like it, but better.

I have a Kindle and I kind of gave up on e-readers because I want to own my books. I've returned to physical books, but damn, they take too much space and it's hard to carry them around.

I would love to use this reader, but where can I buy books? Every place I searched is not as good as Amazon. THis is the thing blocking me from buying it.

I have a mini PC acting as my homeserver, but that poor thing does not have enough memory. I also would like to get into TrueNAS with ECC memory because I do care a lot about the data that I keep there. What would be the best budget build to get 64GB of ECC memory today?

CPU wise I don't need a lot, most of the services will be idle. I know that old servers may consume more memory, and I'm more or less ok with that. I'm not trying to compete with newer CPUs, but I would not want to draw 100+ at idle for example.

I'm looking for a new computer. I don't game, but I do use some heavy applications and I need tons of memory. Is this a good spec? I'll for sure not game.

I think the memory alone would be close to 700 euros, right?

>

Is 800 a good price for this computer in Europe? I think the memory alone could be something like 500, right? So it's basically 300 for everything else. Maybe this computer is worth 1.1k?

Im still trying to buy a homelab server. I saw a used PC with these settings:

Its been sold for 800 euros. Is this a good price? I think the memory alone is something like 600 euros now.
