Have you considered Orion? It has the sleekness of Safari (and based on WebKit) but gives you plug-ins from Chrome and Mozilla. I love it because it doesn’t have the non-native clunkiness of other browsers.

We need laws that make this illegal. I get it that they don’t want to support it for whatever reason, but electronic waste is already a big problem and you can’t convince me everyone is recycling their used electronics.
I mean, it can be fun to tinker regardless. I have a shitty Dell Inspiron from 2012 that I run Linux in CLI-only mode just for fun.
In fact it used to run my entire smart home, run long-running background tasks (like syncing huge files from an NFS share to Storj); hell at one point it was bringing in passive income as I rented out hard disk space.
I stopped using it 20 years ago and have never had a need for it since. It sucked then and it still sucks now; I’ve even installed it a couple times in a VM for fun but always ended up deleting it after a few hours. I really don’t understand why someone would choose to tolerate such low quality software even for the most basic of tasks.
I’ve configured 2FA with my bank using verification codes (can’t think of the proper name, it’s that Authy-/Google-style 2FA c. 2010) but then never utilizes it — it pretends that’s not set up and requests the SMS code. 🫠
This is what I specifically hate about building Docker images based on Debian. Half your Dockerfile
ends up mucking about with third-party repositories, verifying keys, etc.
I should be more clear: specifically I was rebuilding a Docker image based on Debian and needed Node.js for one build step, then Ruby for another as well as the final image.
In the Dockerfile
there were a ton of weird commands for simply installing Node.js and Ruby whereas on Alpine Linux I could simply install the needed versions from apk
. I understand it’s preferable to build these from scratch but in the case of Node.js I was looking to simply compile a bunch of assets then throw away the layer.
I could’ve spent a bunch of time figuring it out for Debian but I wanted a smaller image in the end anyway too.
It doesn’t help that most password managers kind of suck, you have to do a lot of manual work as a user sometimes.
I wish websites would start supporting Webauthn/FIDO2 sometime soon. I’m sick of SMS-based 2FA becoming more popular lately (like 10 years late).
I had to step away from it because packages are just too old.
I get the optimization issue for sure. Crystal is a language that exists but it just hasn’t gained enough popularity; it’s a compiled language that’s very close to Ruby syntax.
I do! I am self-taught but now have a great career going in it. My only complaint is that once you start requiring very specific gems, you’ll find a bunch of unmaintained stuff. Ruby was hyped up a lot in the beginning, kind of declined during the Node.js fad but is becoming a lot more stable and continues to show a ton of progress.
These days if you want to get your foot in the door you can find work upgrading Rails versions as a lot of companies seemed to have released apps a long time ago then lost track of time.
Realizing most of this sounds pretty negative but it’s a beautiful language that I love working in every day. The language is so flexible/usable that outsiders complain that it can encourage bad habits simply by being so maleable — my recommendation is to really know the difference between plain Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
Shit, I’m a web developer and I’m fed up with all the ads, tracking and stalking that goes on. It’s so ingrained like “why not use Google for analytics?” or “just host it on Amazon.” 90% of the services we use at work I refuse to use at home (and go as far as outright blocking them).
I just built a DIY router on Alpine Linux. I don’t want to deal with an entire web UI and all that trash. I just want minimal Linux and some ip6tables
.
What gets me is people migrating from VMs treating it like an entire host machine.
There is a lack of knowledge among developers regarding precompiling assets and classes (if interpreted), and people are trying to do too much in startup scripts.
Another thing I hate is wrapping the entire process in a script because people want to kill the main process without restarting the container. Yikes!
I can’t fault you for that. I’m not trying argue they’re perfect devices by any means.
I use Beeper because I can’t stand all these fucking apps. Preferably everyone would switch to Signal but that won’t happen.
I really love what Ubiquiti is trying to do, but I understand where you’re coming from. I ditched the EdgeRouter X because I just couldn’t do anything really advanced with it.
I don’t have a Dream Machine nor a 192.168.0.0/16 network but my access point receives an IP via DHCP from a non-Ubiquiti router just fine. In fact, the controller running in Docker doesn’t even come up itself after a power failure so I’m really lost on what you’re talking about here.
I use (paid) Apple News, and I really enjoy it. Are there no other “pay once” platforms out there?
My only complaint is that some articles still show ads despite being subscribed, but that’s taken care of with DNS-based ad blocking (though you have to also block a a hostname pointing to an Apple DoH server which I find funny).
I think the idea was to have a discussion.
