When I mentioned that, it was for a company that got acquired by a bigger company. I can't give specifics with revenue / profits but it is a 10+ year old online SAAS business and all of their web apps are being served by Docker Co

The post receive hook provides you real-time feedback as it runs in the terminal where you did the git push. If something broke during the deployment you'd get notified by looking at the output. If it's running in CI, you'd s

For databases, I usually host them on a separate server. This could either be through Docker Compose or a managed DB server. If a managed DB is affordable enough I'd reach for it. It's because I like keeping my servers stateless w

Docker Compose was production ready in 2015 and it still is today. I've lost track of how many projects I've deployed with it and never really ran into a single issue where Docker Compose was at fault. It's super solid. Some

I do like CLI tools and TUIs but in the article it mentions Gnome style apps don't fit the look. That sounds like a limitation of Omarchy. It's not too bad to theme GTK apps and have them all look a consistent way. For example I u

Yeah this seems to be a trend over the last few years. Google does this too. I don't have photos backed up to my Google account on a Pixel and every few days if I open the photos app it prompts me to backup to the cloud and I always ha

Search is doomed for people creating content that depends on organic search traffic because Google's AI is providing the content directly to people doing the search. My decade old tech blog with 500+ posts now gets 10x less traffic tha

No problem. niri's alt+tab also has a filter where if you hold alt and then press "w", it will only show you things on your active workspace. There's a little label that pops up showing this. You can also press "o&q

They should also remove Copilot code reviews from being counted as metrics in a PR. I've seen some projects that use it and you open the PR page to be greeted by every PR having 3-20 comments but when you goto the actual PR, there&#x27

I don't use Copilot or any paid AI but all of this usage-based billing reminds me of cellphones back when you paid per individual text message. Usage paying for AI is 1000x crazier because you're not even getting a guarantee in th

If it helps get folks more comfortable configuring niri I'd say it's a win, but personally I'm happy with editing niri's config file directly. Also, my dotfiles come with a custom Walker menu to find and search through n

=== SCRATCHPADS === I've avoided needing them because of 2 niri features: - You can quickly tap alt+tab to focus the last previously focused window (assignable to a custom bind if you want) - niri's CLI is very easy to work with s

Yep, Hyprland recently added scrolling as a main line feature and since Omarchy is using Hyprland it can expose that feature. I started with Hyprland when it didn't have scrolling built-in and all of the scrolling plugins were either r

Niri is so good. I've switched to using it about 5 months ago and it was legit the best computing decision I can remember making in recent history to move away from Windows. I have a huge amount of gratitude towards the author of niri.

I've worked at places that are SOC 2 Type 2 compliant with similar ways of installing tools on dev boxes. I would say yes but like anything SOC 2 related, "it depends". The compliance requirement is on the org being compliant

I haven't tried it first hand. I've written over ~10k lines of Ansible playbooks and roles to fully automate setting up servers to deploy Docker based web apps, so I do like the concept of declaring the state of a system in config

It is nice to have this confidence. I ran Arch Linux for almost a year in WSL 2, it was really good. Then I ran Arch natively for ~5 months, it's really good. Now I still run Arch natively, but I also use the Arch Docker image to test

I wish Kdenlive had 2 things: 1. A way to play back videos at 2x speed while editing in an intuitive way (DaVinci Resolve does this perfectly). TBH I'm not sure how this isn't a feature since it's straight up a 2x time saver

Yeah, ChatGPT's paid version is wildly inaccurate on very important and very basic things. I never got onboard with AI to begin with but nowadays I don't even load it unless I'm really stuck on something programming related.

One nice thing about tmux is it also supports include files in its config. This lets you put your theme colors in a different file, such as `source-file "~/.config/tmux/theme.conf"` and then your theme switching ext
