Age looks somewhat promising, but I am still looking for a reasonable alternative to TrueCrypt. Encryption should be as easy as possible. The process of gathering your files (plural!), put them into a folder, zip or tar that folder and then

I tried Unmark 1 back in the day. I loved it! Later I abandoned it, because sadly development looked dead (it was even marked as abandoned on Alternative.to). You probably lost a few user who are now using other tools. :/ I won't

Ha... Ever heard of our bureaucracy? It's destroying so many good ideas or makes them so much more expensive.

Yes, sadly. In this times it's more important for people to save 5€ on a new TV, than caring for their fellow humans or even the environment. shrug

The same happens here, but DHL is the major player being replaced and it makes total sense for both Amazon and its customers. To be honest, since my first delivery made directly by Amazon, until now, I never missed a single package. It was

Neat! Thanks for putting my LinkAce on the list too, depite being in beta. I find it very interesting, that the "market" for bookmark manager kinda exploded in the past years, at least from my perspective. Tons of new apps were de

The stuff stored in the Yahoo groups is material from the beginning of the internet. When people explored what could be possible and how easy is was to connect globally. You have a valid point, but it's also one of these things in our

I really like it when games try to keep their world as realistic as possible. One of the main things Far Cry tried to achieve. The fires, small but important animations like getting in and out of a car (like described in the article), and s

I can remember Far Cry 2 as one of the most immersing games I've ever played. It was far beyond other games from that era. Sadly, most players seemed to be overwhelmed by game, (or frustrated by bugs and some game mechanics) . I really

Thanks for the clarification. Based on the Gatsby website itself and the docs it seemed that the websites generated with it also use React for the site itself. Apparently this is not the case. Still, the argument that one should better not

by Kovah 7y ago
I strongly disagree with this view. "You use JS anyway" is not a single valid reason to adopt React. Use it when you build interactive web applications (because that's what it was developed for), or if your site uses heavy co

I can second this. While there are a lot of developers out there who respectfully and objectively push free software forward, Stallman looks more like a maniac preacher to me. His extreme views and statements are more annoying for me, than

Well, I would not state that "those people" are immoral or stupid. Even academics or highly moral people fell for these scams. The big problem is that "those people" are blind to the signs of the scam, which seem obvious

I can remember OneCoin back in the day. And I also remember that when visiting their website, my first though was "this must be a gigantic scam!" It was kinda obvious. Unbelievable that people fell for this. But like with all pyr

I doubt that much will change. Docker itself already has a paid platform, Docker Hub, which generates revenue trough the private registry. It sounds like Enterprise was a separate branch anyway, so it doesn't seem to affect Docker itse

I can recommend using Ansible Vaults, and 1Password in addition to that. Ansible is quite helpful because all project secrets are stored in the local vault which is actually version controlled. The password for the vault can be found in 1Pa

Question would be: what would be a solid and reliable alternative that is also affordable by regular people? I hear "buy property or build a house" a lot, but that doesn't seem like an easy affordable alternative.

> Firefox gets first-class support and is the primary browser we test in. Wow. I would not have believed to ever read something like this for any service, ever again.

Not sure how the author defines a backdoor, but my definition does not include the addition of a payment feature, even if you don't want to use it. The "article" reads like a rant from a user who is upset, that a free app now

To be fair, half of the used services do not have anything to do with the website itself but with the whole business around it. Also, most of the tools do not require a PhD in computer science; neither Rollbar nor Cloudflare are actually ha

I am not into shares really so allow me the question: does someone know when these shares will "launch"? Couldn't find a date and honestly don't know where to look exactly.

I honestly thought about moving to the web version, but as stated, especially the storage of my financial data on some server of a random company is a no-go for me. The privacy policy is also everything but nice. They state that all data is

Yeah, I also tried Financier. Although it provides everything needed, I didn't feel very comfortable with it running in the browser and storing the database in the browser too. Backups are hard in this case. Also, when moving to a new

I feel you. I spent countless hours trying to find a suitable YNAB replacement, but there is none. I want to see what is possible, not was has happened to my money. I am about to leave YNAB because I am using version 4 (standalone software)

by Kovah 7y ago
Can highly recommend Firefly. Used for a while and it is really powerful, impressive work has been done here. What bothers me (too much) as a former YNAB-user is the limited budget planning view. But the dev already has this on his to-do li

A coworker shared this neat little tool while searching for improvements for our Docker setups on macOS. Recent Wordpress projects hat response times of 3-5 seconds(!), which we could cut in half by using docker-sync. Tried this with some o
