Until TreeSitter came along the effort to add support for new languages to your editor would be gargantuan. Now it's much, much easier providing there's a TreeSitter parser for your language. I don't know of anything else tha

I didn't even know anyone had attempted this, that's really interesting - thank you for posting the links. In my statement you quoted above though, I was referring to the accessibility of components built using JS libraries. They

It's a set of styles and guidance on how to use them in a universally accessible manner. You're unlikely to build anything that's usable by everyone using React/Vue/Angular. I mean, it is possible, but it's har

Nanoc is great in cases like this too. It does less out of the box than Middleman but is easier to extend. https://nanoc.app/

There are solutions, 'silent' mechanical keyboards have been around for ages and they are very good. You can buy the switches on their own[0] or buy a keyboard that comes 'silent' out of the box[1] [0] https:/&#x2F

Thank you. On TrueNAS Scale you install applications that run on Docker/Kubernetes, and TrueCharts is a registry of these applications. They work with just a few clicks, it's very impressive and still new to me. I think you'r

I'm enjoying Jellyfin so far. The one thing I can't work out is why hardware transcoding isn't working. I'm running the latest TrueCharts release on TrueNAS Scale with a CPU that supports Intel QuickSync (Xeon E-2324G) b

As I get older, I just care about boring technology. I want things to work without me having to faff around or spend too long configuring them. This applies to both software and hardware. The only tool I still use with non-trivial config is

I don't mind them doing stuff like this, hardware-backed disk encryption shouldn't take the massive amounts of time/effort that designing, building and maintaining a desktop environment or display server will. I guess they ne

Wow, thank you for replying. I'm so glad it worked out in the end. I remember being blown away by the ResolverOne demonstration video, and if I recall correctly, some others you posted showing some of the other features and functionali

I wish we had something like this in the UK. More than 6 points on your licence and you have to drive a yellow car with a 1l engine or smaller.

That's correct. YellowDog was based on Red Hat Linux but built for PowerPC computers.

I wouldn't even know what to do with 25Gbps internet. How many people in Switzerland even have home networks capable of taking full advantage of those speeds?

I use Slim for all my static site needs, it's supported out of the box with Nanoc which is my tool of choice these days - although it's more of a static site toolkit than generator. https://nanoc.app/

I love my Dream Machine too. I bought it about six months ago and it's been solid and was really easy for me, a novice with advanced networking, to get going with vlans and firewall rules. I don't need this setup at all, like I

At least photographs of the Eiffel tower before 1985 can't fall foul of their slightly obsessive copyright restrictions.

There are some situations where date pickers do make sense, like when booking an appointment in the future - being able to see the day is useful. Being able to overlay the date picker with other information like days where you're free

While I agree the delay is a killer for topical news/comedy content, it's hard to argue the same for In Our Time. In Our Time is the only show I regularly listen to in podcast form.
