you could just disable sync in atuin

You could also just not enable it. It's off by default

this is my only quip with atuin, despite my endorsement in a sibling comment. this should absolutely be opted-out BY DEFAULT. not defaulted to opt-in.

if you have someone outright cloning your entire project just to skip this opted-in privacy gap feature, it's a good indicator it's an issue to be mindful of!

I think you might be mixing them up?

Opt-in means that the user needs to actively decide to use the feature, it's OFF by default. That's currently the case for atuin (happy user without sync here).

Opt-out would mean the feature would be ON by default and users would need to actively decide NOT to use it.

For nurses on-call is a tiny amount - $3/hr and then you get 1.5x if you actually get called in

Had this very same payment scheme as an SRE on call in Europe almost a decade ago.

I've been using it for developing, but for non-headless stuff IIRC there's a lot of issues with opengl drivers and hardcoded X11 paths and stuff. I dropped a good chunk of time before giving up.

Did you try https://github.com/numtide/nix-gl-host/ to help with nix & opengl drivers on non-nixos distros?

Interesting approach. Since I've converted entirely to nushell, I'm using zoxide to solve this navigation friction. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

The only thing I'm missing from zsh is path aware auto completion... supposedly this works if you enable the sqlite history for nushell but iirc it was buggy.

Just a note that zoxide isn't specific to nushell in any way: I use it with great satisfaction in both zsh and bash!

A pen that records everything you write and uploads it to some compute cloud sounds less interesting than the title made it sound :/

Use a higher temperature and plenty of flux (I like flux pens), and you'll be fine.

Leaded isn't actually a significant health risk for you, so you might as well go with that. It's not like you are going to breathe in lead. It's a problem for the environment in general, and you do not want to consume it, but it isn't that unsafe. A bigger problem is that you should never use leaded solder to repair boards that have been soldered with lead-free, which means pretty much every board out there that has been manufactured in the last 20-30 years or so.

I am unlikely to every try this, but curious: Why is that, what would happen?

>Tech will always be the domain of smart

I wasn't talking about tech but more on general tech know-how. Back then almost everyone had to have it to use a computer.

Now you don't need it, so people are less likely to find themselves going it it the weeds and falling in love with this as a hobby.

phaer · 9 months ago
But "back then", thinking about the late 90ies and early 00ths here, far less people had to use a computer at all. So in absolute numbers there are most probably still more kids with "general tech know-how" today.

It's not so safe.. boats and currents. I prefer swimming in the pool that's floating on the canal:

I suppose it's less safe then a pool, but I don't think there's more current compared to the Danube and there are boats there as well.
