I would like to know what your hoppy coding project are. It doesn’t really have to serve a purpose, but what are you coding on in your free time that just is fun to you and you enjoy working on?...
Yea doing some FOSS contributions definitely was something I always was considering. But then as soon as I was looking for the right project things started to get complicated again. And even if you find a cool project you look into the issue list and imposter-syndrome starts kicking in.
When I was a junior programmer there were some business guys coming up with the requirement to implement their own validation language (similar to regex). I always thought it is totally stupid to invent your own instead of using something that already exists. But it turned out to be great fun implementing it. I had no prior knowledge in implementing parsers and interpreters. But man I was so proud after I came up with my own solution for the problem. It was such fun, that I even was doing over hours. At the end I create my own tokenizer, a parser and an interpreter. Even something similar to what I now know most people would call an AST (abstract syntax tree).
However, I know I have bought the Crafting Interpreters book without having read it. I really should start digging into it.
To maybe give you some ideas, have a look at SimpleX and the Nostr. I haven’t looked into it in detail yet, but at first glance these two seem to work similarly.
and I am really not impressed. I don’t want to know more about the story, don’t want to build a spaceship that I can fast travel with, don’t want to explore the universe....

Hello! I just set up timeshift on my EndeavourOS pc, but this time I chose BTRFS instead of rsync. I currently decided to store the snapshot on the same hard drive of my installation because, well, it’s my only one. during the setup, it only asked me if I wanted to include the @home or not. using rsync, instead, it asked for a...
Creating a snapshot is not the backup itself. It is basically freezing the current state of your files from this point on and then remembering what has chanced compared to the snapshot. So yes, it is normal that this takes no time since nothing is copied on your hard drive. If you want to backup the snapshot you need to make an actual backup of it. This is possible with btrfs. But since I haven’t done it yet, I can’t tell you the exact command.
So ganz verstehe ich das manchmal nicht. Eigentlich sollte die Feststellung, dass eine Partei extremistisch ist, und somit gegen die Verfassung verstößt, doch ein ausreichender Grund sein, diese Partei kurz und schmerzlos einfach zu verbieten und komplett vom politischen Geschehen auszuschließen. Frage mich, warum hier noch lange diskutiert werden muss. Es gibt klare gesellschaftliche & politische Regeln an die sich jeder (ausnahmslos, egal ob Links, Rechts oder Mitte) zu halte hat. Wer dagegen verstößt, hat einfach keinen Anspruch, mitzureden.
Data on search engine market share is available, but I wonder what that looks like for Lemmy users in particular, who I would assume lean more technical than the average user, so probably use DuckDuckGo and alternates more than Google....
Yes, that limited number of included searches is my only criticism I have with Kagi. They are aware of this, and are trying to offer customers more searches for the same price by improving their costs. I am glad they decided to do this by reducing their costs and have decided to not go the road of monetizing their users by selling ads and customer data.
However, I try to use Kagi only for serious search requests. For other very trivial searches, I use Startpage. For me, works OK. But I hope that one day Kagi offers enough searches, so I can just use it everywhere as my default search engine without having to thinking about it.
With trivial search requests, I mean stuff like entering the name of a company as a search term, where you could have easily just entered the direct URL in our browser instead. There is almost no benefit for using Kagi on this. Almost every search engine will give you the result you are looking for as the first search result.
Kagi is perfect people doing a lot of research in the web. I am a software developer. When I try to find solutions for programming related topics, Kagi gives me much better results than Google since they don't show me all the ads and don't do weird ranking stuff. Also, I am able to ask Kagi to only show discussion from public forums or even let them summarize the results via AI. Doing product research is also a lot more helpful with Kagi.
For context, I live in Hong Kong where most people drink tap water after boiling first. Some may install water filter but may still boil the water. Very few drink bottle water unless they’re outside and too lazy to bring their own bottles....
Germany, yes we do drink water without boiling it directly from the tap. Tap water must in general have drinking water quality across the country. However, even it may not be a health risk, some people don't like the taste. Where I live, it tastes very good.
I want to use SearxNG as my daily driver, and I added three instances to my browser’s search engines list. However, I find that all three are down whenever I try to use it, and I inevitably have to look at the list of instances and click the top one just to perform one search. Is there a way to “auto-route” my search...
Problem is that this kind of alternative web interfaces for Google are just going web scraping of the regular www.google.com page. They are not using the Google Search API (which is paid and requires an API key). However, Google says scraping of their search results is not allowed. And they are actually preventing it by blocking IPs doing too many search request in certain amount of time. That is the main reason a lot of Searx or SearxNG instances stop working after a certain time.

Distrobox is such a cool utility! Tried it out today and don't see myself switching distress now for a long time :)

Can you recommend me some RSS readers that work with FreshRSS (Google Reader API and Fever API are also options)?
