> You can have multiples tabs in different containers in a single window.

I literally want the _opposite_ of that. Chrome makes it so that a Window is specific to a profile. Makes it very simple to keep say Work and Home profiles separate, for example. Especially if you set color schemes for each window.

I wanted a no-nonsense single-binary alternative to pi-hole (based on CoreDNS).

Been using this as my home DNS server for a year now without issue. Recently added support for reading a directory of block lists, so now it's easy to keep things organized in blocking sites with huge numbers of domains.

Yes it is. Stop using C.

Re:Helix: Post-Modern Text Editor on Sunday November 06, 2022 @01:36PM (#33495665)
Started using helix as my $EDITOR a few weeks ago and so far I love it.

Especially 'hx --health' and its built-in ability to use many language LSP's.

My helix config file is literally 3 lines long, and with that I get full language support.

Re:The horror has a face – Nvidia’s hot 12VHPWR adapter on Friday October 28, 2022 @05:41PM (#33378297)
AMD open sourced their drivers and maintains them directly in the kernel now, ever since 2017. No issues at all for me using Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04, which uses Wayland and GPU rendering by default.

I use a rx6400 to drive 2 4k displays, and it works great. Out of the box Linux support, too.
Nobody is stopping you.

Re:Ask HN: Go vs. Python (Docker SDK) on Wednesday August 24, 2022 @12:15PM (#32581510)
If your goal is to minimize lines of code, sure, Python takes the cake here.

But here's a different way of looking at it: using only Python example, can you identify every way that launching that container might fail?

Now do the same with the Go example. See the difference? Folks who value looking at a piece of code and knowing what might happen - not just in the happy path but also in the error path - I think will likely appreciate the Go sample.

Re:Ask HN: Which VM orchestrator do you use? on Saturday January 29, 2022 @02:33PM (#30129604)
Check out the recommended requirements[0] documentation. In practice it depends greatly on how many client agents you want to manage (i.e. how large is your cluster). I personally run Nomad + Consul + Vault on the $6 AMD DO droplet to run a few website, and that node still has room to spare.

Nomad engineer here; Nomad supports Task Driver[0] plugins enabling you to orchestrate anything you need it to. Nomad ships with a QEMU task driver[1] built in.

There's https://github.com/indeedeng/libsql which provides a full interface and mock implementations of the standard sql package.
Gonna need some Google Allo for that sick burn
