Well this explains why every time I get payment autofill suggestions from Google it's a random one of four or five possible auth flows, and pulls from an arbitrary one of at least …

I like NordVPN still. If there's any reason I shouldn't I'm all ears but haven't had an issue so far. I travel a lot and I definitely do feel better having my traffic routed throug…

Unless you were actively using port forwarding before it wouldn't be any different. If you need a VPN for your torrents, despite these faults I don't know of a better one myself. I…

That's not really how biometric app login works here. Credentials are configured locally and used as an alternative to the existing login method. Nothing changes about how you logi…

For some definitions of works. It's frustratingly inconsistent for me, very often it'll give me no suggestions on apps it's filled many times before and I have to go open it and ma…

It does but you need to run commands through uv to use it, I assume this means if you run bare python commands in the task runner or whatever mise will use the venv.

I'm not a fan of forcing single or double quotes because escape codes are such a pain to deal with and to me make things significantly harder to read than an inconsistent quoting s…

Well what's more readable, .8675309 that is understood to have an implicit zero, or the parser giving up and unexpectedly making it a string? Maybe it's not your preference but I c…

Ah cool, maybe I'll check it out someday. JVM isn't a huge part of my daily work though so I'm pretty happy having it managed the same way as everything else for now. I like the in…

I tried to use the Find My Phone feature with my Samsung account a couple days ago. Log into Samsung with Google, on my friend's device as I've lost my phone, and Google says "we'v…

This made me think I'd somehow not saved my MS password because it wouldn't show up if you searched "microsoft". I know you can combine them like the other comment mentioned but wh…

It supports most OSes rather nicely, check the docs for a long list of config options. It creates a local package store and configures your user's path for it, each tool is managed…

Yep that's the issue, I'm just saying I'd rather have that problem than the one where I can't register a clean looking personal domain because every idea I have is already register…

The implication that gTLDs are bad and new ones shouldn't be introduced because of this is a bit silly to me. The argument that they somehow have lower registration requirements ma…

They don't differentiate. They just make it too expensive to be worth paying for the resources required to carry out a spam attack at any meaningful scale.

Interestingly enough I've had the opposite experience. If I'm having a nightmare, usually at some point I realize it's a dream, and from there I can almost always force myself to w…

No? I mean I'm with you that it sounds like a really bad idea and would probably not end well, but laying on a table so someone can implant a device that handles it for you forever…

Yeah wow, I love that this is forever encoded into the standard now. A lovely tribute. It's always been one of the few CSS default colors I actually like too (alongside "cornflower…

How does that mean anything to the people who need to be employed to continue living? We're not the ones with the ability to change this.

Makes sense, thanks! I first heard about crush syndrome from an episode of House, and IIRC it ended up being a cause of death so didn't exactly learn how to manage it. Though I wan…

So what does that actually look like in practice, lifting the piece of rubble an inch at a time? How slowly would you release a tourniquet in that situation?

You might just be convincing me to switch, I generally love docker and compose but the firewall thing still blows my mind and that there still just is not a solution. My workaround…

This depends on your use case of course, compose autoscaling is maybe harder but I don't personally need that.

I migrated several services from Kubernetes to compose and couldn't be happier. K8s was a maintenance nightmare, constantly breaking in ways that were difficult to track down and u…

That's super interesting and I love the idea of physically destructive GC. But to me that calculation and tracking sounds a lot harder than simply fixing the leaks :)
