  • Interestingly, in my client both show up as separate dashes. I suspect it's simply a ligature in the font used in your frontend.

    E: Hm, no that is not it, copy-pasting the text from the web frontend copies the em- an en-dashes, so it's actually replacing the characters during rendering.

  • I also get paid near the end of the month, the way I handle it in Actual is I budget at the beginning of the month with the money I have at that point. When the salary comes in, I click on the now non-zero unbudgeted amount and select "Hold for next month", which moves the amount to the next month for budgeting purposes (the transaction keeps the correct date). It is an extra step, but I have two jobs, both of which pay on different dates, which also vary with weekends and holidays, so I don't think there is a better way in my case.

    Actually, I just had a look at the docs and it seems the holding for next month can be toggled to be automatic. Will have to try that https://actualbudget.org/docs/budgeting/#automatic-holding-of-funds

  • Are there any obvious signs of it being vibe coded that I'm missing?

    In my experience, projects not being very active, especially small ones by a single person, isn't anything new that has much to do with LLMs, it was always that way for hobby projects. And it was inactive for only about a month now, with the author replying within one day before that. I have a few hobby projects myself and don't reserve time every month to work on them or check on their repos.

  • Oh and the power buttons are often in the wrong fucking place, on the side of the laptop, like on phones. It's insane

    Well at least it's not a regular keyboard key in the top right of the Numpad like on my work Dell, I already shut down my computer twice by accident:

    It has a Copilot key of course, but I'm mostly using it docked with an external keyboard by now

  • This basically amounts to a key/interaction logger in the IDE. I'd suspect this would prevent many people contributing to projects using something like that, at least I wouldn't install such a plug-in.

  • What exactly would you checksum? All intermediate states that weren't committed, and all test run parameters and outputs? If so, how would you use that to detect an LLM? The current agentic LLM tools also do several edits and run tests for the thing they're writing, then edit more until their tests work.

    So the presence of test runs and intermediate states isn't really indicative of a human writing code and I'm skeptical that distinguishing between steps a human would do and steps an LLM would do is any easier or quicker than distinguishing based on the end result.

  • White or light stripes painted on dark bodies have also been found to reduce fly irritations in both cattle and humans.

    A study about painting stripes on cattle won an Ig-Nobel Price in 2025: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crkjzxrrkd5o (article has a photo of a painted cow)

  • We have three cats, and the idiot one is also the plotting one (just unsuccessful).

    She regularly tries to get into places she isn't allowed, like the stairway to the other flats, but at the same time took two years to understand how to push open an ajar door...

  • Do you backup your docker images?

    Jump

  • A lot of Dockerfiles start with installing dependencies via the base image's package manager, without specifying exact versions (which isn't always possible, as most distros don't keep all history of all packages in their repos). So all your dependencies may have different versions, when you build again.

  • Cheapest way to back up a lot of data?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if supports encryption though, which is probably where a dedicated server would be useful.

    Well, ideally you encrypt your data before transferring, so the provider never sees your data. I'm using a storagebox to backup btrfs incremental snapshots (using btrbk) and just AES encrypt them locally before sending them over, so I don't care if the storagebox itself is encrypted.

  • If your bulbs use Bluetooth and your phone is an android, that's because on Android you need location permission to scan for Bluetooth devices (as known Bluetooth beacons in range could give away your location). It's still bad, because you can't know if the app uses that permission for anything else.

  • I remember seeing a documentary about a village in Germany, where many houses were damaged by geothermal plants, caused by water entering layers where it usually didn't reach and the material there taking in water and expanding. So it probably depends a lot on the local geology and also on the depth. I sadly don't remember how deep the one in the documentary was.

    I know a few people that got geothermal heating installed for their homes (in Germany), which goes a lot less deep than something intended for whole cities or districts. The one at my friend's home is 50m deep, and it looks like anything less than 400m is considered "near surface"

  • I don't think it makes sense to compare those efficiencies, as one is for converting heat to electricity, while the other is for converting sunlight. If you use sunlight to heat water and then use that for a steam turbine, the efficiency is similar to a photovoltaic panel. The efficiency numbers are still useful, but only when they refer to the same starting point for the conversion (e.g. only comparing things that turn heat into electricity).
