I've been looking into putting together a home office setup for remote development and stumbled upon this nice home automation project by David Zhang, where they use a Raspberry Pi with a customized num pad to control almost every day-to-day arrangement of their office, from desk hight, KVM input/output switching, lighting, all the way to tiling window management. Looks like they've also published the combination of Auto Hotkey, Home Assistant and ESPHome scripts in order to work, including links to dependencies:

Anyway, I'm looking forward to scripting a similar setup once I've gathered the general equipment, and figured other programmers might similarly appreciate the ergonomics in such an automated workflow.

P.S. Any suggestions for a developer picking items for a new remote office from scratch would also be appreciated. E.g. office equipment recommendations like desk, chair, screen mounts, AV accessories.

I've recently been looking into using Backblaze with their S3 object storage for hosting Lemmy, but it looks like they also have personal PC backup cloud offerings. Perhaps you could use them to do both?

The video player in Lemmy-UI really needs the loop feature in the playback settings. At least I'm not seeing the option via Chrome or Firefox for Android.

For anybody wondering what the Mastodon security issue is - CVE-2023-36460, you can send a toot which makes a webshell on instances that process said toot. #CVE202336460 #TootRoot

I thought this presentations humor was timely with recent events, given how for-profit ventures have been corralling open protocols and FOSS platforms, and may still be a reference that many old programmers would remember.

For a more serious discussion:

Don't quote me, but I recall reading on GitHub that there are a few things to be refactored before Lemmy can support horizontal scaling approaches.

Just need to put a JIT compiled language logo inside the blue car and caption it as "Containerise once, ship anywhere".

Image Transcription: Meme


A photo of an opened semi-trailer unloading a cargo van, with the cargo van rear door open revealing an even smaller blue smart car inside, with each vehicle captioned as "macOS", "Linux VM" and "Docker" respectively in decreasing font size. Onlookers in the foreground of the photo gawk as a worker opens each vehicle door, revealing a scene like that of russian dolls.

Hello HN! OP, you've reached the front page of Hacker News:

[–] ruffsl@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Could you share the link to that one? Thanks. Looks like this TechCrunch article is sourcing info from emails with advertisers partnered with Reddit, not just from public statements about visitor traffic published by Reddit themselves.

I wonder what the measured metrics are internally. Funny that those earning metrics would've been more readily available had they already IPO'ed on the public market.

My captcha included an invalid chess move, so a had to regenerate a different captcha: Hunter 913 VII April Shell bdg84 about He 🌔 Venezuela

That looks neet. Although I suspect this would succumb to the same cross post discoverability issues where URLs pointing to the same video would not match string for string. A better approach might be to facilitate inline embedding of HTML video players into Lemmy using browser extensions, where user scripts could be used to preview youtube links or re-write them to nocookie, allowing the Lemmy web UI to still avoid the use of cross-origin scripts by default.
