Shameless plug for those who still need more stickers for their laptop:

  ssh stickr.shop

Do you publish the SSH key? Feels odd to order if I can't authenticate the connection.

We do: https://stickr.shop/sshkey

But of course we should also link there from the homepage! Thanks for the hint!


Ordering is really tempting just because its so fun lol. Great idea and execution.

I was so curious to see how the payment would work...I'm curious is there any way to make payment work without a browser? Is it impossible for any reason or just complex?

Well, it's certainly possible, as the guys over at terminal.shop let you enter payment information via SSH. :)

But on the one hand we don't want to handle credit card information _at all_. And then, stripe does not let you give them credit card data directly – at least in the default workflow.

(And we can offer alternative payment methods offered by stripe (e.g. Apple Pay, SEPA direct debit, …) much more naturally than what would be possible in the terminal.)


Is there any way to see a full list of what's in each pack?

What happens when my email address contains the letter q?

How did this get through QA?! For now the options seem to be pasting in your email containing "q" or typing a capital "Q" instead.

Have you seen the website? QA at stickr.shop stands for quality absence

Only one way to find out, mate

big fan of the windows pack

OK, that is awesome.

just ordered because it's via ssh. great work!

same here. newer saw such a fleshed-out ssh thingy. i just HAD to buy it. a bit weird to see this story on the frontpage now, just ordered tons of techy stickers from AliExpress two days ago...

i must say that the shopping experience on stickr.shop is way better than Ali, haha.


thats very cool

Uses colours I can't read (even with `env TERM=dumb …`)

This is fucking awesome. I just ordered a pack, keep it up!

Why does the 'l' look different in the title image and in the example images?

I actually like the one in the title image more, because it's less likely to be confused for a 1.

[EDIT:] Also the kerning of l and i in 'lines' looks a bit off …


designer here. thanks for the feedback. i've updated the serif in `l` after an issue raised the possibility of ambiguity with `1`. alas, that would mean i'd need to regenerate all the images, which i haven't done yet.

i didn't produce a variant for the `l` serif, please check issue #8. if you prefer the variant, please open an issue. can you elaborate on the kerning point, preferably there also?


The Ubiquity hardware might be good, but the firmware is so shit, especially for IPv6, that I had to replace it with OpenWRT to get it to work (offer IPv6 prefixes for delegation).

https://opengl.zgtm.eu/

A small OpenGL tutorial for Rust. Focus on understanding the OpenGL-API and interfacing with it directly, with a few as possible helper libraries.

Some of the chapters I'm currently working on can be found in the preview (https://preview.opengl.zgtm.eu/, ipv6 only).


It's more meant for usage with variables:

  for i in 0..length {
    …
  }

  for i in 0..=maxindex {
    …
  }

Wouldn't it have been much more sensible to have a lowercase version of alphanumerics in the QR code standard? Almost all URLs are lowercase, and even if the have capitalised parts, in most cases they're case-insensitive.

QR codes were created for labelling automotive parts, not for URLs. Part numbers are usually uppercase alphanumeric, with a few punctuation characters.

QR codes existed for over a decade before smartphones brought them into the mainstream. They're high density replacements for barcodes, which are uppercase by convention (or in some cases like Code 39, only support uppercase). URLs in QR codes are a later innovation.

Urls can include parameters and for those capitalization can definitely matter.

domain name and protocol name is case-insensitive.

If you care about QR code size, you should use URL shortener service which you can program in whatever way you need.

So I don't think that's major restriction.


Then your qr code only works if the url shortener stays online.

In many cases its wiser to roll your own permanent shortened urls so you aren't beholden to a third party service.


Of course you can roll out your own URL shortener. It's not a problem to buy short domain.

No, the assumption was that dark energy is a property of space itself so it does not conserve energy at all in an expanding space.

Also this discovery does still is being explained with dark energy (albeit time varying …) so it still does not assume global energy conservation.


You still need to specify an evaluation order …

The page has no text for me (only the table of contents on the side, that updates by scrolling over the completely blank purple page …)

I'm using Firefox


Removing this:

  @layer base {
    :root, #nd-docs-layout {
      --fd-layout-offset: max(calc(50vw - var(--fd-layout-width)/2),0px);
    }
  }
fixes it for me and I can read the text now …

EDIT: Oh, or making the window less than around 3000 px wide does also fix it, and resizing you can see what is happening there …


Sorry about that, we've fixed it!

> It actually is so difficult, that most people might never be able to be proficient in it. Even if they tried.

That could also be applied to C and C++ …
