Spotify is horrendous. Their UI is subpar. Their mix of podcasts with songs is odd at best (seriously, I never listen to podcasts, why can't I switch it off completely?). Their shuffle is just not. Imagine listening to the same 20ish s

Not exactly open source, but as far as "alternatives to Evernote" goes, I've been told about Obsidian[0] (though I've not jumped in yet), which has plugins for OCR and web clipping, and considering the community, I'

Not sure what you mean with "puck-style" detergent, but here in the UK, I always tend to buy 100 dishwasher tablets for £12, which works out to £0.12 per wash, and Rinse Aid for £3.50, for which the company claims 80 washes (thoug

It looks it hasn't been updated in nearly 12 months. Adminer has added a lot to my Dev workflow, I really hope it doesn't die.

Yes, really the only way would be to set up a MITM proxy on your network and enforce all traffic goes through that. Also means accepting a CA.

This is already happening. The likes of Google Home et al already hardcode their own servers. I noticed that no DNS requests were being made through my Pi Hole, so when I looked, it turned out their DNS servers were hardcoded. However, I&#x

It is indeed built on Wireguard, but it is a user space implementation of Wireguard. Maybe that's fine, but kernel space would allow much faster speeds.

Is there an FLOSS project that combines Scrapy scrapers and just makes the results publicly available?

Not really. The API these days tends to be JSON so you can just figure out how to it works and what represents what. For example I've been able to reimplement xmltv scrapers for several sources in less than a 100 lines with Scrapy. It&

Or you could use the API that the web app has to inevitably use.

Thanks! I saw this in a leaf comment of my original comment. Much better.

Gah, why do we need another blocking addon? Because previously blocking addons have worked out really well. Why can't this have just been a uBlock Origin list?

What's the path to production for mgmt? Is there a plan to get there? Is there a timeline?

I'm not OP, but I think your FAQ (and some other places) comes off pretty strong. It's okay to be opinionated, but your wording comes off as "everyone is wrong, I'm not".

I wouldn't say "scripting focused". It seems to have a good amount of Puppet lang compatibility. It is definitely an alternative to both Puppet and Ansible that doesn't introduce dependency hell.

Vivaldi is still Chromium based. This is WebKit based (or more accurately, the OS provided engine). We need more non-Chromium based browsers anyway. I'm speculating here, but it sounds like the Windows version will also be the OS provi

Personal opinion, I'm sure many will disagree, but I've never been a fan of Ruby. It tends to be slow and, at least last time I used Puppet, there was a lot of dependency issues (from downloading them, to ensuring you run the righ

This is a weird "open letter" but okay. I feel like Puppet, for whatever reason, has lost out on things and Ansible won, which is quite unfortunate as Ansible is just not as good as Puppet. I wonder if Preforce will be able to rev

Yeah I was trying to figure out what was going on here. Is it blocked cos it's closing or was it blocked from before?
