If you use the terminal a lot, you can probably understand the frequent pain of typing out long commands. Bash's tab completion is ineffective, file paths are tedious to write, and typos are a persistent annoyance. I have three good reasons why Zsh addresses these and boosts your terminal workflow.
I'm not a fan of wall-mounted tablets as Home Assistant dashboards. While they might look pretty, in order to use them, you have to be standing right in front of them, which isn't always ideal. An alternative is to build small dashboards using cheap touchscreen panels, which you can then place around your home where you actually need them.
<p>For years, I thought good photo management meant good organization. The larger my photo library became, the more time I spent creating folders, albums, and filing systems that I assumed I'd eventually need.</p><img src='https://static0.howtogeekimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2026/11/laptop-photo-searching-dog-photos.jpg' />
If you're a video editor, photographer, or other power user that needs ultra-fast portable storage, the options are relatively limited. Samsung's latest P9 USB4 External Solid-State Drive changes that, though, with up to 4,000MB/s transfer rates.
Open-source developers have spent decades proving that powerful software doesn't have to come with a price tag. GIMP, LibreOffice, and Blender started as alternatives to expensive commercial tools and have grown into applications people rely on every day. Now, AI coding assistants are speeding things up, making it possible for a single developer to attempt what once
Android’s answer to the iPhone’s “Find My” network rolled out a couple of years ago, but it’s struggled to find its AirTag competitor. Google hopes to change that with its own branded Pixel Tag, and it has a few tricks that set it apart from previous Android trackers.
Gaming is great, but it usually takes place in a virtual world on your gaming device of choice. I wondered if it would be possible to create a game that spilled over into the real world. With a cheap handheld and Home Assistant, I was able to do exactly that.
“I follow the script very, very carefully. I rarely deviate from how I describe how the scene takes place. I don’t write it as a blueprint and then improvise on that when I get there. I would. I’m not rigid about it. But I don’t just use it as a blueprint. I very carefully follow what I wrote because I’m the most sane about the script when I’m writing. Once you start directing, there are so many other things that come into your life every day in terms of
The unfortunate truth is that the global memory shortage is affecting SSDs as well, with their prices shooting up to the stratosphere throughout this year. While the SSD market’s pretty grim if you need, say, a drive with a capacity of 500GB or more, you can still get an SSD for cheap as long as your PC doesn’t need lots of storage.
A webhook handler often does everything inside the request: verify the event, update the database, send the email, call another API, and only then answer. On a quiet day that finishes in time. On a busy one, or when a downstream service is slow, the response arrives late and Stripe's delivery log shows a timeout.This post covers what that status means, what Stripe says the handler should do first, how to move the slow part into a queue, and how to catch up on events that failed in the meantime.
Last tax season, I needed to redact sensitive details from a W-2 form and a bank statement before sending them to a landlord. I tried several "free online redaction tools," but every single one required uploading my sensitive documents to an external server. That felt completely backwards for documents whose whole point is privacy.So I built Redaktix—a browser-local document redaction tool where your files never touch a server. 🛡️ How It Works (Tech Stack)100% Client-Side: Everything runs l
Benchmarking n8n Workflow Execution: Throughput, Memory Overhead, and p99 Latency Under LoadWhen evaluating n8n-io/n8n for production workflow automation, the critical question isn't feature count—it's whether the runtime can sustain concurrent executions without degrading response times or exhausting memory. We ran a three-phase load test against a self-hosted n8n instance (v1.23.0, Node.js 20.11, 4-core/8GB VPS) to establish baseline metrics for workflow throughput, memory stability, and
You got a free exchange rate API key, pasted it into your React app, and it works. It also means the key is now public. Anyone who opens your site can copy it and spend your quota, and on a paid plan they spend your money. This guide shows why that happens and how to fix it with a small proxy: first on Cloudflare Workers, then as a Next.js route handler. Why a free exchange rate API key in frontend code is publicThere is no way to hide a secret in code that runs on someone else's device.Bro
College students are lining up at 4:30 a.m. for career fairs, racing to recruiters' booths. "Thank god I'm employed," one TikToker wrote.<img src='https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1715889872741-8cc4cd25a04d?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=M3wyMzg1fDB8MXxzZWFyY2h8MTF8fEpvYiUyME1hcmtldHxlbnwwfHwyfHwxNzE2MjIxMzA3fDA&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=1080' />
Flattening a comment thread into a single array works until you need to reply to a reply. Then you're faking depth with parent ids, and every edit or delete means rebuilding the whole list. A recursive tree keeps the shape of the conversation and lets you update just the branch that changed. 🧩 OverviewBuild a threaded comments UI: render a recursive thread, then reply, edit, collapse, and delete nodes while every update returns a new tree instead of mutating the seed.👉 https://www.reactchal
Most digital agencies treat cybersecurity as an afterthought—an SSL certificate slapped on a shared hosting server running an outdated WordPress installation with 35 third-party plugins. This approach is catastrophic for international organizations and luxury brands. In 2026, automated credential stuffing, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and SQL injection bots crawl the web 24/7 searching for vulnerable attack vectors.At Amiry Design, our security philosophy starts from first princ
Pharmacists who want to start working in home medical care as part of a career change will have more questions to ask before applying than for other types of jobs. Whether the visits are to facilities or individual homes, how many times a month there is night duty, and how many months it takes b
This is the group of talented writer-directors I am working with this week in Ojai!Via Deadline:EXCLUSIVE: The Black List has named the six filmmakers for its 2026 Projects Lab. They are Mike Ambs (Falling Forward), Sierra Falconer (Cry For Me, Baby), Georgia Fu (Approximate Joy), Seth Kelman (Vessels), Megan Spatz (North) and Brandon Tyson(Ta Ta Dear).Now in its third year, the program provides creative mentorship and professional support to promising filmmakers as they further develop their fe
I know the source of this mantra. It was one of my online screenwriting students. During a weekly live-chat session. I was going on and on about the importance of writing tight, taut, lean scene description, make it easy on the eye, clean on the page, really getting on my bully pulpit. Then a student typed:Minimum words, maximum impact?Here I had been guilty of the very thing I was decrying, then — boom! The perfect comment. Four words. And maximum impact indeed!Screenplays
I don't think there is a better table editor UX than what Supabase provides, but their pricing is steep and local deployment feels clanky and a hassle.`bunx @xl0/superbase` - no setup, just paste the Postgres connection string into the browser and you get the same experience.You can also pin it to a single connection url, useful for running it in docker as part of your infra.
