Looks like a hell of a lot of value for $15 / month.

> ultimately a PayPal remake?

Pretty sure you can't send tiny fractions of a penny through PayPal.

you could using gripto

From what I can find, Gripto was a cryptocurrency platform for viewing holdings, market info, and relevant news. It seems that the service was retired in late 2018.

it’s just a derogatory nickname for crypto lol

Care to elaborate?

Bad idea for multiple reasons. Router is on the edge and hardened, and should not be your server as well.

Router should also be a low power device, not an "old PC".

Gentoo is great if you value your time at $0.

Disagree.

I'd say it's more akin to learning vim, where there's a fairly steep learning curve at the outset, with huge rewards down the line.

Yes, initial install can take a while. Yes, system updates take longer when built than from binaries - but modern hardware makes that a fairly trivial difference. Most people who have a problem with Gentoo either only used it decades ago when build time were a lot longer, or because they heard it takes long, which is way more common than the former.

Huge upside.

You need two sets of the "same" hardware, though. Then you get a build server with -march native

Cooking your own food is great if you value your time at $0. I just eat fast food every day to maximize my free time (spent on doomscrolling).

Gentoo Linux became a lot easier with binary packages and binary linux kernel.

You don't need to customize it, but you can still get packages from third party overlays.

The customizability is available when you need it or want it.

Learning to use gentoo's basic functionality doesn't cost a lot of time, and I recommend utilizing only the basic functionality in most cases.

Just stick to the basics, and you will be fine.

Unfortunately the binary packages are still only available upto x86-64-v3, so users on x86-64-v4 (which I reckon what majority of "advanced" users would be using) and even more so AMD Zen 4/5 users would be missing out on advanced instructions and other compile optimisations.

Luckily Arch/CachyOS users don't have to worry about this as CachyOS offers optimised packages for modern CPUs. Until Gentoo offers an equivalent - without manual compiling needed - I won't consider it.

Most advanced users don't really care much about latest compiler optimizations.

I don't. I think linus torvalds still just runs GNOME or KDE on fedora. Linus doesn't care about compiler optimizations on his own machines.

Does a web developer need to know latest compiler optimizations? Most of them don't.

Respectfully disagree, the kind of "advanced" users who typically use Gentoo actually do care about compiler optimisations.

If you use Gentoo and don't care about it, I'd say you're in the minority of those users.

Machines are faster now, my znver5 build machine finishes "emerge -e @world" in under an hour.

... which is an argument against trying to hyper optimize.

Compilation is not just about optimization. It gives you flexibility and robustness.

Compilation options let you tweak programs. In my direct experiences, gentoo source packages break far less often than arch linux binary packages.

That doesn't make any sense.

C++ compiler and standards writers value your time at even less.

Didn’t believe it until I saw it.

... and your electricity.

ur still on a pentium 2?

try to get other people to value ur time...

NSA has entered the chat.

Apple Introduces the First Low Cost Microcomputer System with a Video Terminal and 8K Bytes of RAM on a Single PC Card.

Interface is simple, beautiful, fast, and almost certainly small given the speed.

Needs plumbing for auto transaction import. At least CSV.

Pretty cool!

ezBookkeeping already supports importing CSV files, and you can even define your own CSV format—either through column mapping or by writing a JavaScript script.

Nice, where is that in the UI? I could not find it.

If you access ezBookkeeping on a computer, you'll find the Import button right next to the Add transaction button on the transaction list page.

Really hated watching the mechanical keyboard fetish spread through an open tech office I used to work at.

So obnoxious.

I absolutely despise this "too big to fail" bullshit from banks and car manufacturers.

LET THEM FAIL.

Adam Smith rolling over in his grave.

> Adrian Mardell, received approximately $4.5 million for the year ending March 2024.

Oh look I found some expenses to cut.

I'm divided, a lot of people internally and from suppliers depend on them for work. Equally they are majority owned by an indian company (Tata) now that also mandated they use their useless in-group IT outsourcer whose secrity appears to be pretty lax. In the end I'd say the govt should make the condition for a loan that they dilute out much of the equity holders / share out the loss - in order for them to step in and prevent a total loss, and so the taxpayer gets some longer term contingent benefit.

What work? From what I’m seeing, they’re not producing any cars, not selling any cars, and not keeping any of their shit secure.

The Landrover side is clearly doing work, even if the Jaguar part was doing poorly before this. There are a lot of suppliers also that end up having to furlough if their main client shuts down. And there are second order effects on local economies when that happens, and therefore on HMRC. And you also don't want to lose engineering skills that might be needed for e.g. military crossgrades/upscales. Ultimately its better to have that continue than not, but I also believe the consequences should be significant on the mismanaging equity holders, esp. Tata, and potentially beneficial for taxpayers longer term, which reduces the moral hazard aspect for a better overall solution.

If nanny state keep bailing comapnies out, how will they learn to stand on their own two feet? /s
