Any well-known generic word is very likely to already have been used by a bunch of projects, some of them already prominent. By now, the best project name is a pronounceable but unique string, for ease of search engine use. Ironically, "systemd" is a good name in this regard, as are "runit" or even "s6".

Doesn’t it have unlimited undo? Savages! (I have never in my life used vscode, hope it shows).

entropie · 3 days ago

I dont know about unlimited undos. But you can overwrite parts of your undo-tree so you cannot access them anymore.

Emacs users have all the fun. And just like eve online or dwarf fortress, I can't seem to get fully into them myself, but I love reading stories about it.

Maybe give RimWorld a try.

I took three approaches for me over a span of two years to really get into emacs. It was pretty tough (a time before google was a thing).

Now iam spoiled - I recently tried vscode a bit and really was baffled because it seems there is no kill ring like the one in emacs that makes it basically impossible to lose any edits.

I was diagnosed with ADHD in my early 30s and prescribed Concerta to help manage it

For a few years being medicated for ADHD was a godsend. I was finally able to be more productive and focus on work, my career took off in a huge way, I've literally tripled my income since I started medication

Now I'm incredibly burned out, I've been having pretty severe memory problems, I'm on medical leave from my job to try and course correct a bit here. I don't think this is purely caused by the medication, I think it is stress related as well, but my doctor's only course of action right now is to reduce and re-evaluate my meds

On one hand, being medicated was incredible for me. It felt like it finally let me overcome my demons and be the person I wanted to be and always knew I was capable of being

On the other hand, if it led to my current situation it's probably one of the worst choices I could have ever made. I hate having massive holes in my memory like this, and being burned out this way is extremely difficult to bear

So... If you can balance things better than I could, it's still probably worth being medicated. I don't regret it I just wish it hadn't burned me out like this

> Now I'm incredibly burned out

My SO has severe ADHS from early childhood on and gets medicated (first ritalin, now elvanse). She is always stressed because she has a guilty conscience; she does more things every day than she has time for. She has sleeping problems.

It's such a fast-paced lifestyle that it quickly takes its toll, and it's not as if it gets better with age. Its very hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle while permanently being "all-in" into something.

That begs the question, if you can recreate their engine from the 2000s with high quality search results, would investors even fund you? Lol

Seriously, how? Iam pretty sure you have to have a very different approach than google had in its best times. The web is a very different place now

Workspaces are not bound to displays in hyprland. This is one major reason I'm using hyprland over niri, where it's not really possible to work around that issue.

entropie · 15 days ago

Am I wrong?

Every monitor has its own set of workspaces. Workspace 4 on display A is not the same as Workspace 4 on display B is not the same as Workspace 4 on display C.

Do you still prefer XMonad?

entropie · 15 days ago

I use it over 10 years now. Its perfect except of the haskell/ghc payload that made it complicated on older machines. To compile GHC on my 2019 dell xps notebook took like 8 hours.

But its not a problem anymore, since I switched to nixos. But xorg will be eventually obsolete and there seems no actual replacement yet.

If you want to try this but not really spend time configuring it, there's a cool OS distro called Omarchy. https://omarchy.org/

entropie · 15 days ago

Its also very easy on nixos. I could switch from xmonad/xorg to hyprland in a minute (and back).

Still a hardpass for me since workspaces are bound to displays which makes absolutely no sense for me.

I swap workspaces very often with my tripple monitor xmonad setup.

entropie commented on Show HN: Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model github.com/KittenML/Kitte... · Posted by u/divamgupta

MutedEstate45 · 19 days ago

The headline feature isn’t the 25 MB footprint alone. It’s that KittenTTS is Apache-2.0. That combo means you can embed a fully offline voice in Pi Zero-class hardware or even battery-powered toys without worrying about GPUs, cloud calls, or restrictive licenses. In one stroke it turns voice everywhere from a hardware/licensing problem into a packaging problem. Quality tweaks can come later; unlocking that deployment tier is the real game-changer.

I play around with a nvidia jetson orin nano super right now and its actually pretty usuable with gemma3:4b and quite fast - even image processing is done in like 10-20 seconds but this is with GPU support. When something is not working and ollama is not using the GPU this calls take ages because the cpu is just bad.

Iam curious how fast this is with CPU only.
