I've done the same thing - making a USB-only printer available on my LAN - following this guide: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-print-server/

One nice thing is I can print to the CUPS server even if the printer is off

BTC cannot be split beyond 10^-8

With a soft fork it could easily.

Lightning Network already uses millisatoshis. Of course they can't be settled in sub-satoshi amounts on the main chain, until there's enough interest in a fork to do so.

The fixed supply describes the total sum of units that have been issued, and that are intended to be issued in the future - it doesn't relate to the divisibility of those units.

Thanks , I've learned something new today!

Every time I've looked into doing a DIY NAS in the last few years Topton seems to come up - as far as I can tell it's because they make MiniITX boards with a boatload of SATA ports.

"I'm sorry for how you feel about it" isn't exactly an empathetic opening stance

In https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45831614 jack1243star pointed out the possibility that English might not be Kiki's first language and they perhaps even have used ChatGPT to make the comment sound more polite.

It is a passive aggressive dismissal.

> I doubt Apple could demonstrably prove damages before the civil statute of limitations expires.

Statute of Limitations is about how long you have to file the case, by no means is it a deadline by which you must fully prove damages and have no opportunity to continue your case after it passes.

Apparently from a F@H blog post [1] they say it's still useful to know the dynamics of how it folded, in addition to the final folded shape. And that having ML-folded proteins is a rich target for simulation to validate and to understand how the protein works

> Do you know if the vapor chambers operate at reduced internal atmospheric pressure?

Indeed they do. A random search found this company that manufactures vapor chambers and they have a short discussion: https://radianheatsinks.com/vapor-chamber-heatsink/

> My app's value is its simplicity

With or without the advent LLMs, it's an uphill battle to build a moat around a small (but nice!) wrapper around the output of a command-line tool shipped with MacOS.

> what is the moat?

Increasingly, and sadly, it's online services with a monthly subscription and no data portability. Get users in with a generous free tier and pull up the drawbridge so they can't get out easily.

Thanks, I really appreciate the honest take. With this app, I'm intentionally trying to go against that dominant modern playbook.

My goal was to build a classic, single-purchase utility that does one thing well and doesn't require an account or a subscription.

I appreciate you having a go and it does look very attractive. It's not a problem I have but $5 is a reasonable request for something that gets the info into an understandable format for somebody.

I do think that small, single-purpose apps are probably the easiest lunch to eat. Narrowly scoped greenfield projects are where the LLMs seem to excel right now so that game seems like a race to the bottom.

As far as the cloning goes: your only recourse is probably the DMCA angle for the exact duplicate text. It's a shame they're so lazy as to straight copy it, but I suspect the response (if any) will be them lightly laundering it through ChatGPT so it's no longer the same.

Good luck! And I hope you find more useful ideas people might pay for

Yeah this makes sense.

Thanks, this app is just one pit stop of many!

> Anyway didn't this replace versions, so locking won't have helped either?

The lockfile includes a hash of the tarball, doesn't it?

It does, the answer to my question was no.
