When I go to https://leaks.psylo.app on "Possible IP leaks" side I see only "WebAuthn" with my real IP and, occasionally, WebTransport with an incorrect IP. For "HTTPS Traffic" it …

On top of that, the seemingly endless remakes... Some are praise worthy others not so much. I got tired of Resident Evil Remakes, they are just recycling the same formula over, and…

Why not both? A small button with "Copy link" text to, well, copy the current URL and another that calls "native" share, if available. I don't find it to be too many options, but I…

I'd also recommend LibreWolf, for those who want a "strict by default" experience and tweak from there.

I was wondering if it's possible to have the container volume change to, say, an external drive. I currently use QMEU with qcow2 images to achieve this, works well enough.

I've used this a good amount of times, when I coded in front end projects. The first time gave me that satisfying feeling of using the right tool for the job, like completing a puz…

Put a useless keyboard down there and pretend you are typing with your toes.

I have this view as well. After years of Notepad++, the last security problem made me want to switch, not because of just that, but that, overall, since the author has an active vo…

That is exactly it. Much appreciated.

I downloaded it recently and found it to be quite useful for quick notes. And I can attest to its "fast" claim, using it on a heavily monitored corporate computer, with CrowStrike …

I wonder how Stoat will fare, and how it is currently maintained, in terms of "making money"; my fear is that it would steer into the direction of Discord itself.

It's because of the trademark: https://stoat.chat/updates/long-live-stoat Nevertheless, I don't like the new name either, oh well... I like this comment though: Imagine you make a …

Toady I used GLM 4.7 to port a C++ project of mine to Rust, so I could read and toy with it, to get into the language: https://codeberg.org/RickStanley/agatetepe-rs . Really intere…

I think I played Thief 1 & 2 over 15 times in total, no hyperbole. I really, really like the atmosphere, the world building and Hammerites old-english and tenets ( https://youtu.be…

We've been using Mapperly ( https://mapperly.riok.app/ ), after a migration from AutoMapper, in our production application. I'm having a good experience, and we kind of like the ho…

Thanks for sharing. I've been off editor hopping for quite some time, nowadays I just use some pre-defined configuration like Doom Emacs, occasionally I try to build some environme…

We tried to use LISTEN/NOTIFY for notification purposes, or rather, a queue in which the order mattered (well, kind of, we were aiming for the best scenario where a customer would …

When I had a Macbook from work, I set up an Arch Linux VM using their basic VM image [1], and followed these steps (it may differ, since is quite old): https://www.youtube.com/watc…

I can not recommend Xenophon's Anabasis (AKA March Of The Ten Thousand) enough. I'm rereading it for the fourth time, in less than 2 years. There's a variety of themes: - political…

Yeah. I was wondering if it would be feasible to have a superset language for C++, much like what TypeScript is for JavaScript. But I guess there's always the risk of bike-shedding…

On this topic, I've been wondering if models are capable of recommending other models for a given machine spec, for example: which model, if any, would be recommended for a laptop …

And if not using git, just fiddle around with a scripting language to automate the update, like check github's release API to see if there was some change between your local and th…

Non-C# developer question: what use-case/situation would a `struct` make sense to use instead of a `class`? Just out of curiosity. [Edit] Well, there's a nice, special article for …

I enjoyed Rogue One, they took a unexplored slice of the story after the legends thing and created this self contained, well written journey of a group that is only mentioned in th…
