It looks quite nice. Sadly the backend seems kinda limited in terms of federation (everybody can host his own server and they all communicate with each other). But you seem to have the skills to bring some real value to software projects. H

I am quite happy with my AMD Radeon RX 460 running Arch Linux with a 5.5.7 kernel. It has significantly more power than the embedded Intel GPU I have in the same system but doesn't require a fan either (the PC is completely fanless).

I can confirm this statement. The book is great and helped me understand that awk is a lot more than just a tool to select columns.

The author probably forgot to edit that file and those are default links of the template he used.

That is why I am suggesting acme-dns. It is different from the normal DNS option. Normally, you require an adapter for your DNS provider and for many DNS providers there are no adapters out there. But with acme-dns, you just set a static DN

Did you try something like acme-dns[1]? It is pretty universal. The installation instructions aren't the best, but it allows you to use DNS authentication without the need for a specific adapter for your DNS provider. https:/&#x2

Sometimes I wonder why Open UI5 [1] is so little known within the front-end community. I mean, in a world where long term support for frameworks is rare, having a component library backed by a large company like SAP should be quite valuable

I like to have a folder called playground within my projects, where I build related prototypes and try out new ideas. Whenever something seems to work well, I do some sort of cherry-picking to keep the things I got right within the prototyp

You are right, there are some cases where vector graphics are not as good as traditional bitmap graphics (especially when the vector graphics weren't build for the size they are being rendered at). But as soon as you don't know th

'Practice makes perfect' is certainly true for the 95th percentile. In the 99th percentile, on the other side, talent and determination are more important (since everybody is practicing regularly already).

Well, I am not sure what the correct way of handling errors is. I like the concept of Exceptions, but not the results when people use them. Somehow they encourage devs to care less about error checking. And while I appreciate the thoroughne

As far as I can tell, adding pipefail or nounset doesn't change the behavior in this case. In my opinion, the problem is that calling a function from a test expression, evaluates it in a different manner than calling it from elsewhere.

Some time ago I started to doubt if using 'set -e' is a good idea. I mean, if it would work as you expect it to, it certainly is a good idea to exit a script as soon as something fails. But sadly not all implementations behave sim

Hehe, you are correct. I wondered if you would come back to that point when I posted the Quicksy link ;-) Actually, I don't know why the ChatSecure guys don't get their software to work reliably. It got a lot better over the past

Actually, that is not true. I have written a tool (also a script) myself that allows you to write unit tests, manage your scripts in git, load scripts in other scripts, etc. Maybe I will post a Show HN in the coming weeks, but at the moment

I like the configuration options you are being offered with DuckDuckGo. So, for example, you can use your own custom font on that page. I use the Google !g fallback for about 5% of my searches. Sometimes the google results are simply better

Compared to JPEG. Sure the browser support is good nowadays, but there are still so many tools that create JPEG files by default, even when PNG files would be a better choice (e.g. Screenshots, computer generated graphics, etc.).
