OK, but is Youtube Kids limited to the official "approved-for-kids" channels (so mainly Peppa Pig and co)? Or can I also allow arbitrary channels for older kids that are only available on Youtube proper?

Maybe things have improved with the YouTube Kids app. Previously, I was not able to manually chose channels that were fine to watch, and there was still a ton of trash there, although Google claims it is manually curated. The main problem i

This is nice. It's a disgrace that Youtube does not have the option to allow only certain channels for a kids' account, but of course it brings Google more money to trap kids in endless video garbage, so here we are. I made a simi

What the hell is the "cooking book scene"? You make it sound like some cabal of cooking book writers sitting in some basement, conspiring to lead people astray. Nobody is saying that all cooking books are great, of course there ar

My argument is: the problem is solved. The solution is called: books containing real recipes. The "problem" people have is: yeah, I want those, but for free. But creating a cooking book is a ton of work and very expensive. You nee

Instead of simply praising KOReader, let me add that it is also incredibly hackable. The vast majority of KOReader is written in Lua, and adding your own feature is usually not that hard. I added support for Kobo natural light a few years a

From a technical standpoint, this is incredible. A few years ago, computers had problems creating grammatically correct sentences. Producing a consistent narrative like this was science fiction. From an artistic standpoint, the result is...

I have actually read it and agree it is impressive. I will not comment much on the style of the writing, since this is very much subjective, but I would rate it as the "typical" modern fantasy style, which aims at filling as much

I observe the same thing. However, that does mean that SPF and DKIM are useless (although DMARC probably is). It is correct that SPF/DKIM does not really avoid spam, because spammers are not stupid and can read these standards like any

What would you say is the advantage of this approach over integrating OIDC into a separate service, like what Ubuntu is trying with authd? (see https://ubuntu.com/blog/authd-oidc-authentication-for-ubuntu... )

We don't disagree here. There are tools which support you in doing this, and I mentioned a few of them in my post (Make, Just, doit, mage). There are many more. I also think that re-inventing these tools is a waste of time, but it is s

YAML is fine for what it is: a markup language. I have no problem with it being used in simple configuration files, for instance. However, CI is not "configured", it is coded. It is simply the wrong tool. YAML was continuously ext

It obviously depends on your load. Fast pipelines matter, so don't run them on some weak cloud runner with the speed of a C64. Fast cloud runners are expensive. Just invest some money and buy or at least rent some beefy servers with lo

Already see people saying GitLab is better: yes it is, but it also sucks in different ways. After years of dealing with this (first Jenkins, then GitLab, then GitHub), my takeaway is: * Write as much CI logic as possible in your own code. D

I 100% agree. For very little use, a cheap laser is absolutely the best choice. If you print very little, you'll probably don't even use up the included cartridge in your lifetime. My recommendation was for people who print a lot
