Two years back, I created a little web analytics tool for my side projects and I called Faenz. It's open source and self-hostable, available on GitHub at https://github.com/a-chris/faenz . I've recently given

Author here, I've built my blog with NextJS a few years ago but now I'm in the process of migrate to Birdgetown Ruby. I wrote a blog posts explaining the reasons behind my choose

I can confirm. Also the technology used really counts: with Javascript I got weird error and there are no standard in the ecosystem so I found my self looking on Google and SO all the time. With Ruby, on the other hand, there are better doc

This is absolutely untrue. In Europe we work several days/weeks after the layoff notice. You can fire people from the night to the morning only in US

Yeah, because we spend the whole day reversing a linked list in your real-life SWE job, right? It's ridiculous that we have to study all those algorithms that we will never use it in your life, it's just too much.

Opposite situation for me. I've been using Sourcetree for YEARS and it was a PITA, so bad, slow and counterintuitive. On the other hand Fork saved my mental health and it's by far the best git manager I've always used. This i

I'm trying to switch from Heroku to Render but it is awfully slow compared to Heroku, my Rails project takes something like 1 minute to start after it has been shut down gratefully. Moreover, it breaks the CSS assets and uses the older

I'm working on a self-hosted analytics like Plausible but that allows to use SQLite as primary database. Of course it should be used for small websites and side projects but it will have all the Plausible features. Am I crazy? This is

I've built several personal projects to be honest; background jobs, tasks automation, telegram bots to find a house to rent or buy, most of them are kept provate. The two I'm most proud of are a web analytics that, coincidentally,

Can anyone explain to me how these services are legal? I didn't read Instagram terms and conditions but I'm pretty sure there are tons of points against scraping, copying and distributing their data, in particular using them to ma

DietPi is really great and solid. I've been using it for two years on a raspberry pi 3 and I've never had a single issue. Good job!

The problem with SPAs is that they have been misused and overused, at least in Italy. Tons of projects built with SPA in which we have to re-implement basic browser features like the back button, just because project manager has no idea of

I'm sorry by Europe is not USA. We have no RSU and little to zera extra compensations. Salary is just salary. Please don't undervaluate this law proposal if you don't know what you are talking about

Yeah, why not split north Italy and south Italy then?

I know this will be an unpopular idea but I like the direction gnome is following. I think it is becoming a solid and reliable OS, it has much fewer bugs than KDE, it's getting faster update after update and I like libadwaita to have c

Aosta Valley is a really bad place to live in: people are not friendly, food is not so good compared to other regions and job opportunities are very low

I absolutely agree! Rails, Nextjs and Flutter are the best and most funny technologies I've ever worked with
