    Radio buttons are in html spec for over 30 years and they allow extensive CSS styling on every part of the element.

    Same. Also I don't get using RPis for hosting all kinds of services at home - there are hundreds of mini-pcs on ebay cheaper than Rpi, with more power, more ports, where you can pu…

    Yep. I got over 250TB/month traffic (150TB+ outbound) on Hetzner, and I don't pay anything additional for that, just ~800$ month for 11 servers. At 7c/GB that would be over 10500$ …

    I have more than 10 servers on Hetzner (some dedicated, some VPS), for 5+ years and the same experience, once one of the dedicated servers had some hardware issues, and an hour lat…

    TBH I don't need "fine grained rules for each app". There is only one rule I care about for most apps - block all notifications.

    General web development. PHP, javascript, css. I used to do some java projects as well, but not lately. I know it's not mainstream to use NetBeans these days, but I don't care, I'm…

    Not sure if you mean that sarcastically, but it's a really boring and stable OS, the setup is just a few clicks and hitting enter a few times. I think I haven't even bothered to ch…

    Nothing interesting. I spend like 99% of my computer time in the web browser, ide and terminal. Chrome, git, ssh, docker, netbeans

    I too used to obsess over customizing my OS. Now I just install Debian, a handful of programs I use daily and that's it. I can recreate my setup on another machine in 20 minutes.

    Not really, I have a Discord account for at least 5 years, I'm a member of several Discord communities and none of them are related to gaming. For me it's kind of a replacement for…

    I have the same experience. I have tried my friends VR set a few times and another one at a work party, and overall it was pretty underwhelming. Uncomfortable, a bit nausea inducin…

    Udemy can sign a receipt with a simple cryptographic key. But what's the benefit of blockchain here?

    I'm using X220 from 2011, it has i7, 8GB RAM and SSD, running Debian Linux. I don't even feel the need to upgrade. It's in ideal condition, I love the keyboard and form factor, and…

    If your solution is to trust the Internet Archive, why not just skip the blockchain part? Any hash can match virtually unlimited number of different turd images. And even if you tr…

    Does DO even offer dedicated servers? I have used their vps in the past. It was ok, no issues, but more expensive than hetzners vps or dedicated for large traffic/cpu needs.
