A morakniv knife, a ka-bar knife and an Opinel knife.

A Citizen watch A Kenneth Cole mechanical watch

A lighter

Now I understand why we men love all these things. They last forever and for some reason this really appeals to men.

Just search IBM IoT and look at IBM acquisitions in the last decade.

Everyone "used to work for that company" on the internet. And even if you used to work there it doesn't mean you know anything about their business. IBM is more of a Holding now. Like Volkswagen. Just because someone works at audi it doesn't mean they know anything about Lamborghini.

SystemD works great, but the corporations and politics behind it will ruin Linux if they fully take over. They are already optimizing heavily for IoT just because IBM is heavily focused on IoT

Hi guys.

I have an android head unit for my car that only manages multimedia, navigation and stuff. it also has multiple physical buttons and knobs. It’s offbrand so can name the particular brand or model.

can I for example upgrade the OS?

FOSS DEX alternative? Linux on android? (programming.dev)
 

Hi everybody. I have a rooted phone and I was thinking, If I can spin up something like Samsung DEX on my phone, alongside my android, that uses Linux, I can do 80% of my work just with my phone. Is that doable? Can someone provide me with more information?

Don't focus too much on tools (languages,ide, editor, etc.)

Get strong fundamentals in math and software, code with C and a high level language like python for a couple of years and you're good on the tooling side.

Focus on your mathematics, logic and philosophy. These are what separate legendary engineers, scientists and visionaries from people who are only amazing at programming.

Remember that you are an engineer/scientist/philosopher not a cog in the machine that gets told what code to write and writes it.

I highly recommend reading the works of Feynman, Dijkstra, Turing and other greats to better see how they think and approach things.

(Maybe these aren't the direct answers to your questions, but wisdom. damn I wish someone told these stuff to me sooner)

Focalboard administration (programming.dev)
 

Hi guys. I want to deploy focalboard as a replacement for trello in our company, my confusion is : How can I manage the focalboard instance? (Doccker) For example manage boards, manage users, limit user access so anyone from the web can't just register and use our instance.

I asked in the mattermost groups but the support groups are totally dead. No response.

integrating Google account with GNOME (programming.dev)
 

Hi guys. So I'm wondering, is it safe(privacy wise) to integrate my google account into my GNOME desktop, only giving mail and calendar permissions to it? It's nice to have my calendar events into my top bar. (Please give technical answers)

How to monetize services? (programming.dev)
 

Hi guys. how can I monetize my rustdesk servers? like, imagine I tell client X to pay 1$/month for using my server, how can I authenticate users? (prevent others from using the server so only people who are paying can use).
