445 logins for me on a self hosted bitwarden (vaultwarden) instance. Although a lot of those are for user & root logins to local machines I provision.

YMMV but I dislike referencing through digital formats like pdf. With a hardcopy I can bookmark various pages and very easily thumb through / reference it. Searching for exact text is slow though, so I try to acquire both types if I ge

That's how I got into CD ripping - in order to build ratio for what.cd. It no longer exists but if you search around there are other similar sites.

One of my hobbies is buying used CDs on discogs or from my local record store and ripping them with ExactAudioCopy. I use Picard (gui) and metaflac (CLI) to manually edit the tags. For each album's comment I try to put the artists invo

Any reasonable person can agree with literal porn being banned. What percentage, exactly, is porn out of all the books being banned? The thing is that LGBT+ content tends to be conflated with sexual content. We both know that the vast major

Anki can import csv files. That said, making decks is extremely tedious. It’s better than a premade deck for learning language vocabulary, but it’s time consuming. You shouldn’t make vocabulary cards programmatically. If you’re going to inv

That's fair, thanks for updating the readme and making this tool. It works for me when I run it interactively, and I plan on using it a lot!

To be honest, they have good reason. Being written in a strongly typed, memory-safe language is a huge advantage. Obviously it's not the primary thing to look out for, but I do prefer tools that are written in it.

I must be the only one here who downloaded it to try it out, because none of the commands work. See issue#56, I just get "abnormal end". It also hasn't been updated since 2021. The chords for guitar also are weird. It doesn&#

I think it's cool that people work on DAWs for *nix/*bsd, but as someone who uses linux as a daily driver, I don't really see the point. When I want to make or record music, I don't want to spend time debugging the syste

Hugo is really nice once you spend some time learning the templating system and how the variables get set up. It does have a learning curve at first, but I don't find any of the alternatives to be as compelling as hugo once you're

It seems particularly bad about music theory. The article lists the example of listing Bb as the tritone of F (it's actually B). And I just got it to give me complete and utter garbage, whilst sounding confident: https://i.i

Conversely I asked it some simple questions about some songs' harmonic structures, and music theory, and it got things quite wrong. There's already an example of it in the article where it incorrectly stated the tritone of F was B

There's Sinatra for more barebones things, but honestly, homegrown solutions always grow into a shittier version of Rails. You don't have to use all of the features Rails provides. As others have mentioned, for simple APIs Sinatra

I solve the secrets problem by using ansible to provision the host system and build the compose file, and ansible-vault to handle the secrets. You can also dynamically build a compose file for example: export COMPOSE_FILE="$(ls -1 serv

You have to remember, phones = bad, instagram = bad, and taking pictures = very bad. Other people aren't enjoying their vacation precisely to the parent commenter's tastes, so they are bad people who do vacationing badly.

Mastodon was designed to be a system of federated instances, not necessarily a few instances scaled up to hundreds of thousands of users each. More people should be hosting themselves or joining smaller instances.

by huimang 4y ago
At this point I don't see much point in adopting something that doesn't support ActivityPub. I'd rather just use Mastodon/Pleroma/Akkoma with some heavy blocklists.

I think finding a server is the biggest flaw with the fediverse migration currently. It IS important what server you choose, due to the local community / timeline and having to trust the server operator. Normally people link instances.

"The person also writes so many tweets they'd hardly have time for serious work." This statement makes zero sense. What is the arbitrary threshold of tweets to "serious work"? What correlation is there to making twe
176.
by huimang 4y ago
To my knowledge you would have to create a new account and set up redirects, since it's a new server. Migrating is definitely a pain point in the fediverse. That's why I ended up going with a single-user instance that I selfhost.

by huimang 4y ago
That's fair. I selfhost Pleroma as a single-user instance, so I couldn't tell you about running it at scale. I went with it because it could run on a raspberry pi a few years back whereas mastodon was too resource-hungry.

I'm not sure about Glitch, but Hometown has several different features [1] that Mastodon may never opt to include as it changes the behavior a bit. 1: https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/wiki

I'll use this opportunity to mention Pleroma [1], my preferred alternative to Mastodon & others. It's much more lightweight than Mastodon. 1: https://pleroma.social/

Industry-specific tooling is different than a consumer product explicitly marketed as "intuitive". This comparison doesn't hold, for me. While I agree that git's UI could be made less cumbersome in some cases, many peopl
