I love these one domain one function web apps. Can't say I will use it, but good on you for rolling it out.

Recently used pass to share passwords between colleagues (3 in total). Files are encrypted against three different GPG public keys and shared via Git. Works well enough for us.

TIL about logwatch. Seems handy as I run a couple of VPSs.

Have only ever tried Diode which is on f-droid. So plain gives the HN feel to Reddit.

Technically, no idea. Coming from an enterprise getting approval to use a new SaaS vendor is painful. But if a existing vendor has new product offering, you skip a lot of painful TPS style application forms.

Ah, I remember when a Linux laptop was my daily driver. Suspend/Hibernate was magically on OSX. I recall running custom kernels and the like to get it to work. And it did! But on OSX, it was smooth as butter. IIRC it's still not s

Safari testing used to me my main excuse. Been meaning to try dual booting my MacBook Pro (2015 model) since upgrading the SSD. I have a VPS running for years now and I SSH into that when I need Linux in a hurry. Or the single board compute

Service Workers do request permissions to run. By design a SW can linger around if it has work to do. E.g. send a request when an Internet connection returns. But it needs to be queued when the tab is opened. Off the top of my head I don&#x

Not an Apple fan boy, but I have stuck to my 2015 MacBook Pro. Hoping that one day Apple will produce an 'classic' edition of the MacBook Pro. It came in iterations, better keyboard then ESC key. Now touch bar. Funny how things co

Had an itch to scratch ever since discovering on Android you can trigger the camera flash from a browser. This was the first use case that came to mind. The app will work offline, in case of dire need. Some trivia: the last message sent fro

Hrm, had an issue with when iPhone's were on silent mode, but that is resolved now. Is your silent switch on? Unfortunately, at the moment, I can only test on the iOS Simulator.

XKCD has an appropriate comic for this: https://xkcd.com/1367/ I too am a big promoter of that a lot of "apps" can be done with web technologies. Early on I was interested in PhoneGap/cordova ecosystem a

Vitalk of Ethereum fame has an interesting concept how to make this less irreversible. Problem here is the hard work needs to be done at the beginning. E.g. picture your grandparent needing help using the below. As a power user, I like it.

Annoys me too that a lot of tech companies are reporting in local timezones North American timezones. Whilst in hotel quarantine I hacked a webapp together to show timezones around the world. I did it glance at my remote colleagues local ti

My limited experience with pairing has been positive. The negative is you can easily get caught up in the pace. Which can be solved by taking breaks.

I've paired on a couple projects and miss it. The exhaustion is very real but pairing really works when you take breaks. When one is loosing focus, there isn't a hesitation to say let's take a break. I found it similar to tak
