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…

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.

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=/…

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…
