Just for info: there are alternative SSH server implementations out there that disable features that are discouraged (e.g. password authentication)[0] Tinyssh is just one I already knew, I suppose you would find more via a proper search. [0

If feel like this is the moment where these discussions about old filesystem layouts start to go in circles. Yes, system users tend to not have a home directory. But you are fully able to create one for a new system user if this is what you

So it is one thing that you might want to assess if the patterns that were described in the article actually fit your use case and then adopt the one that fits better. But putting this sentiment to the extreme, you could also say: For very

As other commenters already suggested I think it just comes down to what your actual day-to-day job is. In some companies you have dedicated data engineers whose job it is to understand these complex logging systems. But despite the complex

You are absolutely right that consolidation minimizes overhead. I work in an IT department who relies on VMware and I certainly do not look forward to the prospect of updating all our tooling to work with multiple hypervisors. It works quit

Adding to your point, I also instantly regarded Amber as an alternative to other higher-level languages. Especially scripting languages that require elaborate ahead-of-time setup. Amber will surely score some points here due to its portabil

I think the project itself sounds very intriguing and I am sure to follow how it evolves. But I have to agree with you about the website. There are also some little inconveniences in there that are sure to annoy a technical minded person.

Forgive me if my comment comes across as snarky, but why would HTMX not be suitable for projects at work? And what characteristic makes a tool only suitable for side-projects? I absolutely use HTMX at work, but then I do not work at a large

I would argue even the "wider industry" still administrates systems that must be treated as pets because they were not designed to be treated as cattle.

It's generally a good idea to have some documentation that states what a machine is used for, the "service", and how important said service is relative to others. At my company we kind of enforce this by not operating machine

Yes, that is exactly my point! I think the lack of real world examples of large HTMX projects is a little telling. But it might just be large projects usually happen in large companies where you aren't necessarily allowed to disclose p

There is the occasional tech talk on YouTube where some kind of migration from React to HTMX in a large project is discussed. You will have to search though as I do not have any links at the ready. However I have not seen anything really su

I am going to stick with what I said. One person says YouTube is incredibly good, another one that it is incredibly bad. No reasons are given that lead either of you to your assessments. So what insight have we gained?

Their plan to move to the EU via their AMS site is not related to the attacks, but seems to be a general plan they have had for a while. At least this is how I understand their notice.

Maybe some people are using it to avoid JS at all costs. I am using it to have everything (validation, authentication) in one place, the backend. It also saves me currently four serialization and deserialization steps, which drastically imp

As every discussion about HTMX usually evolves to people arguing why it is not widely adopted by big corporations and the like, let me be the first to share a thought on that topic. Could it just be an organizational problem? When you start

Well I would not dare going through the hassle of moving from React to something like HTMX if the former is already well-established in the company, except when everyone is on board. So I totally get that.

As someone with a similar task (building internal tooling) I must agree. HTMX really is a godsend, especially when you are already feeling comfortable writing backend code. In my case I simply familiarized myself with HTMX and augmented the

Are you sure HTMX aims to be eventually incorporated in some form or another into the HTML spec? I think I read most of the blog articles on the website but I cannot remember such a statement. Another question in the same vein: In your view

But it is not a given that the scope of the problem eventually exceeds what HTMX is capable of. It is perfectly fine to set HTMX aside and choose another framework if you feel that it better suits the problem at hand. Meanwhile there is sti

That is a valid point. But no, the company has been around for 31 years and I have only worked there for just over 8 years. I am confident however that no large-scale layoffs ever happened there, because I have heard all sorts of harrowing

I think the size definitely matters, but I am not sure about the extent to which it matters. I work at a company of roughly over 200 employees that is part of a much bigger org. Layoffs never happen where I am working. And one factor may be
