Lots of searching
A vertical mouse saved me from carpal tunnel syndrome. A few years ago I started developing wrist and elbow pain in my mouse arm along with the numbness. It was getting so bad I would take frequent breaks to ice my wrist and would wear a brace at night. I started looking for ergonomic mice and decided to try out a $15 Anker one from Amazon. I felt relief the day I started using it and within a few days the symptoms were gone entirely.
Who is going to tell him?
Updated some diagrams at work today using the newish D2 language. I've dabbled before with tools like D2 that generate diagrams from "code", like plantUML but D2 was really easy and made some great looking images.
Definitely looks more professional than the ASCII art diagrams they replaced, though I do find the ASCII ones charming.
Durability is a big concern for me as well. I bought a Pixel 2 at launch and had it until June of this year, almost 6 years. It was still in decent shape, but the battery had become unreliable and the cost of paying someone to replace it and fix the cracked screen was almost as much as a new in box Pixel 5. Hopefully my Pixel 5 will also last me a similarly long time.
What kind of problems have you had with your 6?
I've used ledger on and off for a few years. I use it along with ledger-autosync to process the transaction files I download from Amazon, Paypal, and my bank. I haven't gone so far as to automate the import of those files, I just download them manually, but it does support that.
I'm a sysadmin at a small shop and it amazes me how many of my coworkers don't know about or don't use netcat. Netcat, s_client, and nmap are super useful for quickly narrowing down the cause of a problem. I have been guilty of using nc to transfer files before, it's a good trick to know about in a pinch and where you aren't worried about the lack of encryption.
Sidenote, it could just be my Lemmy client but this post doesn't seem to actually contain a link to the article.
It's the FM Towns for me. I've never really even been into retro computers, but it just looks so cool.
I'm a sysadmin (for now) so it's patch week for me. No big surprises so far so hopefully it'll be a nice relaxing weekend!
No kidding. I bought one on clearance from Walmart for 5$ and it was great for about a week, adequate for another month or two, and then became unusably bad after just under 6 months. Just buy a real non-stick pan, even cheap ones will last longer than the copper ones.
