    This is nice. I run dark mode everywhere and I used to use notepad for quick notes and stuff. Problem is that notepad is a giant wide window so it would burn my eyes out when opene…

    Ah so because it's flagged as offensive you can't use it in an offensive manner on the internet. Got it. Makes perfect sense. THINK OF THE POOR APPLE MONITORS.

    What issue? There's nothing wrong with being offensive, and again, in this case that was entirely the point. He's being offensive to Apple's implementation of monitor settings. He'…

    Looks to me like they just straight up ripped the Discord front-end, changed the parts where it connects to a back-end and hosted it. Registration page has links to Discord's ToS, …

    yup, `sudo tinc -n %VPNNAME% invite %CLIENTNAME%` will generate an invite URL on the server side and `tinc join %INVITEURL%` will let you join it. It's definitely really easy now, …

    Tinc 1.1 is actually fairly easy to set up - it's only a couple of commands for defining the name of the network, getting a link nodes can use to join etc. The only problem is that…

    I feel like the better solution to #4 is setting up UID namespacing for docker instead of (just) creating random users within the container. Even if you create a user, it's still g…

    Can't wait for marketing people to catch up to this and call devices "SIoT" without changing anything about the product.
