Le gadget est effectivement tentant ! J’ai toutefois l’impression que ma Kindle, toujours en mode avion, et Calibre pour ajouter n’importe quel document sans DRM par USB, répond déjà à mes besoins

What is wrong with WireGuard?

I'm extremely satisfied with mailbox.org!

They support all standard email protocols (IMAP, POP3, SMTP) even Sieve for server-side filters, so you can use any mail client you prefer rather than being locked into official apps. They offer CardDAV for contacts and CalDAV for calendars, and their drive can be mounted via WebDAV.

Pricing is reasonable and personal domains are supported.

Isn't Tuta based in Germany anyway?

setup-alpine script should let you choose between dropbear and openssh

Cargo cults themselves have likely been overinterpreted: documented cases are relatively few and historically specific, rather than a widespread or enduring phenomenon. Still, the image is powerful, which is why cargo cult programming works so well as a metaphor. Ritualistically copying code without understanding how it works is extremely common in software development.

Fish is great out of the box!

Check out the Fish for Bash users guide since it explains the main differences.

The few issues I’ve seen for daily use are that export does not work and you need to use set -x VAR value instead, $PS1 is not recognized because Fish uses its own prompt system, and wildcards work a bit differently...

Language changes through use, not through rules or intentions to "preserve" meanings. You can’t freeze a language, words evolve based on how people actually use them, and today GIMP overwhelmingly refers to the image editing software, not some outdated insult. If you search for it online, you'll find pages of tutorials and plugins long before you even stumble on that old sense.

English is a global language now, the majority of its speakers aren’t native, and it feels ethnocentric to assume everyone experiences a word the same way a small educated group of native speakers might. Meaning comes from context and community use, not from etymology.

Semantic shifts and reappropriations happen all the time. Words like "queer" completely changed meaning over time. From my point of view, GIMP has done the same thing.

Sorry if I miss some nuance, I’m not a native speaker myself...

Since "winter break", it seems that most versions are supported.

 

This was my first time turning boxwood. I wanted to upgrade the handle of my espresso machine's portafilter. I’m really pleased with how smooth it turned out! Should I coat the boxwood, or is it fine as is?

 

I started from oak lumber, which I cut down to size and then planed. I made six 308 mm wide panels.

To create the pentagons with a 190 mm edge length, I used a table saw and made a jig with an offset at 18 degrees.

The blade angle was set it to 31.7 degrees because, according to Wikipedia, the dihedral angle of a dodecahedron is 2arctan(ϕ), where ϕ is the golden ratio.

For assembly, I used flat glue and secured the joints with tape to ensure everything held together while the adhesive cured. This method allowed for a clean finish.

Now, I just hope my cat will use it! 😉
