I was feeling the same, but FF57 really is much better. It does break some extensions, but many have converted. Which are you having trouble with? The main one I'm missing is "Disable Ctrl+Q". My notes: https://www

Seems to me mostly a (valid) criticism of ICOs, which are kind of like penny-stock. No one would put all their money in a single penny stock, right? It doesn't say much about buying stock in companies who have 'blockchain' in

To some extent, people could also just watch the recording online, and skip through the boring content. When I attend a presentation, it's usually to engage with the speaker and with other people in the room. Powerpoint or not, if the

Stock photos are often pretty ridiculously sexist. My favourite are "mansplaining stock photos". For alternatives, I like https://www.stocksy.com/ -- they're a platform co-op, and have good quality stuff (I&#

The front page portrays professional women, dressed as professionals, promoting a product that they personally use. Normally, that would be cool. I know more professional women sysadmin then male sysadmins, yet the marketing is usually male

+1 this would be really nice. Currently we can choose between "latest activity" or "browse files". Adding an option for "issue board" (and "list of issues") would be great. My non-tech colleagues get

Do like in Canada: all cars must have their headlights on when driving (the lights automatically turn on). edit: also, I feel like if we add new light signals for acceleration, for example, it would be nice to add that to all cars.

Ah, good point, but that article also mentions (towards the end) that they are likely to just ignore the treaty, as Uruguay has (and some US states). They can also demonstrate that they are legalizing as a more efficient way to control&#x2F

For what it's worth, ABP's slogan is "Surf the web without annoying ads" and they've gone to court to defend that. (I stick to ABP for this reason, and disable the "display acceptable ads" option -- assumi

My comment was directed towards the OP, who was harsh and didn't provide a proper argument. As I said, it was a nice article and I wanted to encourage others to read it, despite that (flagged) comment.

Gnome is relatively easy to customize with CSS (at least in recent versions, I think after 3.20). I wrote some quick notes about it here: https://www.bidon.ca/fr/random/2017-02-25-customizing-gnome-... It also has

I see it more often used to mock a male mono-culture and the pitfalls that derive from it (ex: brogrammers). A bit like the term douchebag has become a synonym of 'jerk'.

So.. I went reading the article, expecting something really ridiculously bro. The article was well written, good references, but yes, uses a few silly conversation samples (for which there were no sexist, racist or homophobic references).

I think that works for smaller projects, but for larger projects that require more coordination, have heavy c-i running, etc, I don't think it makes as much of a difference. However, there are some alternatives for larger projects: 1-

Speaking of, disabling TLS 1.0 is a great way to reduce traffic from unwanted bots. (although I still run TLS 1.1) If necessary, someone will create a dotdeb-equivalent for an openssl version with TLS 1.0. This is a "dammed if you do,

IPv4 has a lot of complexity: - NAT and CG-NAT for big networks is complex, resource-intensive. - Fragmentation on IPv4 requires more work/complexity from routers. - Some of my friends seem to think that calculating /29 IPv4 netwo

Same here! Google-Cloud still doesn't really support IPv6 on public-facing nodes (?), and Github ... However, this encouraged me to self-host with Gitlab and to use other hosting providers (ex: OVH). Sometimes I will NAT the outgoing I
