aerc is really weird in the sense of being designed as a client, not storing the mails on your computer. Which has some performance implications and limitations. Though you can have local mail too, really felt like a second-class feature wh

Yes, I care deeply about diversity in the browser land. Luckily Gecko also performs the best for me.

Sure, you can cherry-pick your perspective to fit your needs.

Automatic memory management seems like an antifeature if you look from a systems language perspective (rust). And I'd argue the borrow checker reduces the cognitive overhead.

Over 60% extra... It's only a bargain if you need it. For a general purpose computer I'm with you, but the Pi5 often isn't used as a general purpose computer so if you know the software isn't going to be using it then it

They lock their users in a walled garden where only they can provide discoverability and distribution.

And you have to do the "use another app" dance on every single login too... You know I have TOTP setup, you know I'm not using MS Authenticator. To make matters worse(?), I have not been able to login to Teams at all in the l

The user experience is still on a whole other level, not living inside the browser. And the number of times I've used a wasm app, more than once, that actually had some theft do it. Well, I can't think of a single one. So, we will

The performance and user experience of a native binary is on a whole other level.

Though only show the markdown if one is expected to edit it (which would be the case in an editor). Otherwise, if the usecase is consumption you are better to show the generated output.

Since it is Troy I assume it is legit, and I haven't read the link yet. But... How does he know that? Has the opt-out services leaked as well? Or is noone using them? How would we know?

The bigger risk is likely your client, which might even be inside your browser, gets hacked / compromised. And that is the same regardless if you self-host.

The passwords are still stored client side, they won't disappear. Your family won't be able to add new passwords, but they can export them at their leisure.

Same with opt out. Just have to accept that you are not going to get perfect data. And it doesn't excuse one to behave like an asshole.

The title doesn't lie. I've scrolled about a kilometer and I've learned everything from GNSS, mesh networks, how to pair units and privacy implications. But I have absolutely no idea what is is. What does it do ? Why would a

The blog post do explain why some of the generation is done separately. But yes, that is also a viable approach.

Why would generated code be unauditable? The inputs and the generation will obviously be defined.

I'm more worried why a VPN-client has anything to do with a browser?

Invent a format? How about, "The system overview has been illustrated in images/system-overview.png" We use markdown because it is plaintext and accessible. Oh, but you have to convert it yourself. How? Well every project is

Markdown can't display images at all, either... Which is my point. (you know you can write paths in a .txt file too?)

Good article, though I really thought it would be about the other end. You know hacking movies in the 90s(?) where the good guys face a hacker-attack, frantically typing at the keyboard trying to keep the hackers away. It is a losing battle

How often do you refer to the logo? Try something like this: ![Hierarchy of the system](system-hierarchy.png) You know what it is, but you have no idea what it looks like. Maybe it is a garbage picture that doesn't really add a

Doesn't matter how close to the goal you get if it is on the outside... I'm gonna be annoyed if I clone your repo, open the readme.md and now have to figure out how to read it. Plain text is awesome, for plain text. If it isn&#x27
