a medical professional in berlin asked me for a referral for paid help migrating from windows to debian on their work laptop (thinkpad), is there a cool small company (or freelancer) in berlin who does that sort of thing that you can recommend?
i now have a working prototype of IRCv3 integration in our internal web based notes system with chat/comment history... thanks to the Ergo IRC server's builtin websocket support + message persistence this was incredibly comfortable to implement. every doc becomes a channel :D
checking HN is not good for my mental health... i like to discover new software/tools/hacks/experiments etc and while that site was always problematic, now there's just too much clAuDe slop, and it is jarring to always read from the people grieving about the huge rug pull after decades of code crafting and from "build or get left behind" slopmaxxers in the same threads. is there a calm computer page out there where people still just do stuff by hand/head?
