My perspective: Stack Overflow was started to be a documentation site, but was implemented as a Q/A site. And that doomed it from the start. If someone wants to get help, and they …

@rambleraptor, I haven't actually tried to do anything with your solution. It looks like you've put a good amount of work into it, enough that it works for you and you're willing t…

How hard would it be to adjust for different CCG's? I tried a while back to play a CCG with my brother and nephew via zoom. Didn't work very well. This sounds like a really good wa…

In both cases the reason someone was persecuted was they offended someone in power. And the system eventually ruled in their favor. That is the similarity. If you view one of those…

I wondered if anyone else noticed that. I upvoted. Hopefully more people will as well to balance out the bias. To those of you downvoting, please articulate why you think something…

Wouldn't that only work on NixOS systems? I'm not sure that counts as standardization. That said, someday I need to give NixOS a try.

> There are 15 competing standards: https://xkcd.com/927 Heh, that is pretty much the answer I was expecting. :) Augeas seems interesting. I'll have to look into it a bit more than…

I just found myself trying to define configuration language for a tool that would then write the given configuration into a configuration file of whatever format I set. So I was co…

Look up the Ritter Houge, or something like that. I think it's a less (maybe) expensive version of the griptilian from the same designer. I think. Could be wrong.

> Almost everyone who comes to SO, in my experience, has a fundamentally wrong idea about how the site is intended to work. True. I quit trying to do anything there once I realized…

Gentoo was the first distro I got working with internet access because it supported the little phone line based network my family had, so I could share dial-up via the parents wind…

I daily drive Linux for everything except games, and gaming on Linux has come far enough that I'll be switching over soon. My 60+ father also uses Linux for most of what he does. A…

Makes me wonder what it would take for governments to actually hit Microsoft hard enough for it to hurt. I remember when they were hit with anti-trust fines here in the USA due to …

VinylPlayer is a fork of Phonograph. :) Symfonium looks interesting. I think it actually does support the multiple artists and genres like I want. Thanks for the tip on that one!

Google Photo seems to only offer normal prints, canvas prints, and photo books.

Thanks for the reply. It's not just prints, though. Cards, photobooks, and other items are on the list. So it really does need to be usable for her.

I had wondered about Google Photos. She does use that, but I've never looked into what they offer for prints. Thanks for the tip.

Hey, just a shot in the dark, but does anyone know of any good photo product sites, like Shutterfly, that have user interfaces that are elderly friendly? My mother likes to get car…

That's a good way to do it. I was actually thinking of a Git hook or something in the ci pipeline as a place to start. So reading about how you implemented it was helpful. Thanks f…

So, I feel like "Docs-as-Code" has some context I'm missing, so I'm going to comment on docs in general. I think there multiple kinds of docs for software. * Comments explaining a …

Drupal still has a very high learning curve. I'll use Drupal over WP any day, but I can acknowledge it has some rather rough edges. I haven't dug into it yet, but I think that "sta…

I use it in most of my containers. Very handy if you need to run some kind of pre-script before you main program, or need to run multiple programs in the same container.

Anyone have any recommendations on some good articles or books about federation and/or decentralized systems? Specifically, how do you design/architect and develop them? Systems li…

How much time do you actually have to spend in San Francisco? I've seen 3 months mentioned, but also relocating...
