For me is not even a question of security but a question of sanity. It feels like torture. You are watching something with your brain in that context and suddendly, a commercial about something I am not remotely interested is thrown to my f

Agree. Right after reading your comment, I went and run shreddit ( https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit ) over my now unexisting account. I think is time for me to get good habits again and wake up from the enchant

I used openWRT a few months ago on my LinkSys WRT3200ACM, I was pretty motivated with the stuff I could do (VPN, block ads etc). Unfortunately, I had to go back to stock firmware because Wifi performance and issues connecting certain device

I like Flatpak. I've even flatpaked some apps and made them available on Flathub. The only thing that dissapoints me is the fact that it integrates poorly with CLI apps. Off topic: An idea that came to my mind a few days ago is that wo

I needed a new laptop and due to that, I've recently spent quite a lot of time browsing reddit, various forums and this sacrosanct place, trying to find information about experiences with laptop's brands and configurations. I ende

I don't like the gym neither. I worked and trained heavily in one for a few years and these days I find them utterly boring and not that beneficial for the kind of sport I do. The gym is not the only way to get in shape. What I recomme

From my experience, it is not always just the network. Ansible can be slow in operations such as copying files between directories on the remote target. I suffered from this a couple of years ago and the solution I implemented was to delega

100% agree but on certain situations, one doesn't have permissions for retriggering a build from the UI. (Sadly, I've been there)

With laptops (and few other things), I have a personal rule: It's better to spend a bit more and enjoy it than save money and suffer it. Having said that, if your budget is that tight and there's no possibility of saving a bit mor

I totally get what you say and respect it but I can also understand what the author means by saying that. Perhaps he did it in a very radical/too opinionated manner. Let me explain: When I am interviewing someone, I also like to ask ab

I do the same but without writing down anything. I just keep it in my head. I always joke with how creepy I feel when I coincidentally meet someone for the second time after months, at a party or something and start to bring up details abou

Which metric do you use for concluding that we are "way too many people"? Have you read serious literature on the matter? It is simply because 8 billion people sounds like a big number per se? I am asking in good faith and with a

Coincidentally, I was telling to some friends that I deleted all my social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Reddit) years ago and is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Reason being mainly, that in a more or less subconsci

I have my doubts about the mono repo approach. From the top of my head: 1. It might increase the complexity of other process on that repo: CI/CD configuration, makefiles, branching strategies, codeowners etc 2. The versioning might los
