https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader is great for this. Adds dark mode to any site.

OpenJDK 17 is in Debian 11 as well [0]. A decision was made to include it before its official release since the release is so close (September). An updated package will be availabl…

Records were introduced in Java 14 [1]. An immutable DTO, with minimal boilerplate, that still behaves a class. Example: record Point(int x, int y) {} [1] https://blogs.oracle.com/…

Syncthing is a great piece of software. I configured it on three of my machines in March and I've had zero issues since. In fact, it has worked so well that I don't even think abou…

Norwegian here. 20 days a year is the legal minimum, while 25 days is the norm. I get 30 days a year while working for an American company, which is a bit ironic.
