I'm in the same boat as the parent with helix. I like to think that its not about being able to type x chars more per second but rather doing some clever tricks sometimes with your IDE just because they safe you from boring work and is lots of fun. For example repeating the same action with macros across multiple files is so helpful and maybe only needed once a month or so, but oh boy, when you pull it off it is so fun and rewarding!
Is there any more info what open source actually means here? Is it only the 3D files to rebuild that thing on your own, or is actually also part of the software open source?
There is an indirect answer to your question in the interview:
"We developed the drivers in-house, so the replacement parts for those are available only from Teufel. But if you instead use similar drivers, it is possible to build a whole MYND on your own using the data we published. You could produce the boards using our PCB diagrams, buy components from various retailers and assemble."
So, as we'd say in Germany: „Jein“. (Yesno) Looks like it uses off-the-shelf components except for the drivers.
I cannot edit my post - I looked at the support section of the product, and the firmware is, in fact, MIT licensed. I stand corrected, surprised and quite happy: https://github.com/teufelaudio/mynd-firmware
A small web Podcast player that simly does its core job properly. Meaning working autoplay, state syncing and good flaging of finished episodes. There are so many players who don't get that right, especially when listening to 'drama' Podcast, which have a kind of different usage pattern then tradition Podcasts. Once that is working I'm also keen on exploring automatic blocking of advetisment segments, but that is certainly a harder Problem.
I'm currently using xpbd to work on a physics driven 2d fighting game, and as of right now, I'm really enjoying it! Until now there was only one problem where some collisions would vanish for one frame. But stuff like that can be easily worked around and even better reported and fixed.
We recently implemented a kratos frontend in elixir and in general it was quite a plesant developer experience, despite some small rought edges in the documentation
Absolutely BitWarden unless you want to do KeePass+SyncThing and can do your own research and keep track of the app specific issues in how they handle sync conflicts.
I've been so satisfied with it that I showed it to my manager, he started using it as a private customer, and we adopted it as the company wide password manager some months later.
Are you also shocked at how many people don’t use a password manager at all and reuse the same password?
I recently picked up my adult daughter’s phone and tried the password I knew she used as a teenager, it is still the one she uses. I’ve tried to get her and other family members to use password managers and better security practices. It’s like talking to a brick wall. They all think it is too much work. Of course, these are the same people that post their entire lives on social media.
I really enjoy the Open Source Security Podcast. There is quite a bit to learn while beeing entertaining and relaxing. The early episodes where more freestyle and grew more profesional over the time. Listening to older episodes is even a kind of history lession as it covers everything that happend in the last ~5 years.
I'm currently doing research on this topic and we internally settled on hawkBit and SWUpdate.
Both are OpenSource and Feature rich, however ment for the more classic bare metal linux usecase, which means you will need a custom yocto OS.
