    I am currently using Brave after switching from Chrome. Chrome changed the way accessibility worked last year which didn't work for me. Instead of scaling text it zooms in on pages…

    Is this the reason that Chromium based browsers always change font sizes for me on here? Since I'm visually impaired and have set my text sizing pretty large, I have that issue on …

    I was generating some SVGs from text last week and thus editor just refused to paarse the generated content. However this viewer worked just fine: https://codebeautify.org/svg-view…

    You are right. However sometimes a change can be so bad, that there is no other option. For instance when Chrome changed the way zoom worked in their Android browser. I had to reve…

    Brave browser recently also introduced buttons. I was a tad annoyed with it, but accepted it. Until my wife recently saw the new look while I was working and asked how I could even…

    AFAIK no. Dex only seem to act as a federated IdP.

    Great addition. I remember that I also looked at Obligator and saved it to my bookmarks. But I decided against it because IMHO the project was just a bit too young. Normally I tend…

    Dex only acts as a federated identity provider. Unlike oauth2-proxy which acts as a service provider for services that don't have authentication themselves.

    Recently I looked into having a relatively simple SSO setup for my homelab. My main objective is that I could easily login with Google or GitHub auth. At my previous job I used bot…

    Last year I bought a Microsoft Intellimouse Pro which I really, really like. Besides being a tad heavy it has been a pleasure to use. I didn't know Microsoft stopped making mice an…

    You can use the tips from this thread over on Reddit to circumvent this message. At least it worked for me in Brave: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/173jmog/youtu...…

    In The Netherlands the allowed voltage tolerance is 10% by law. So everything between 207V and 253V should be fine. And we also had 220V until 1989.

    I'm unsure what a 'TrueCharts' is, but if it's anything Docker based you probably need to mount the Intel GPU device. You can do this pretty easily with a device mount: `--device=/…

    That's a bit semantic, isn't it? Because in practice it's still 10, but lazily initialized [1]. And an empty ArrayList is useless anyway. 1. https://stackoverflow.com/a/34250231

    Maybe it's not really up your alley. But I learned Java with the Java in Action with BlueJ [1]. Although it's pretty basic, the text book really explains all the Java (and OOM) bas…

    Isn't 48 kWh/month = ~1.6 kWh/day? That seems impossible. Even 4kWh / day seems impossible for me. I exclusively use electricity, except for heating. My water heater alone consumes…
