The Caesar Cipher component is displaying incorrectly in Safari. Its elements are positioned off-center. It works fine in Chrome and Firefox.
I really wanted Coolify to work, as I like the idea behind it. I gave it a go some time ago, and I ended up spending the entire evening battling issues like the proxy not running, with no helpful UI feedback whatsoever.

So I came to the conclusion that if I have to dig through abstractions built by someone else, only to find out that in the end I have to manually restart the underlying containers anyway, I might as well stick to using Docker directly.

And truth be told, it’s not even that difficult to handle it all yourself. And it’s definitely very educational. It gives me a nice feeling of being in control and knowing my server. And on top of that it’s fun too.

Re:Show HN: Nue – Apps lighter than a React button on Tuesday April 01, 2025 @09:04AM (#43546321)
I think there is an issue with the implementation of search and filtering.

When I open https://mpa.nuejs.org/ and type "kind of rate limit" in the search box, I get 383 search results, and the URL updates to include the query: /app/search/?query=kind+of+rate+limit.

However, when I paste that URL directly into a new tab, I only see one result instead of 383.

Re:Threads starts testing scheduled posts on Wednesday December 18, 2024 @08:42AM (#42450345)
The article says:

> You can’t schedule replies, because Threads wants the platform’s conversations to feel real-time and alive.

However, nothing feels less authentic than optimizing for audience growth by scheduling posts in the first place.

Maybe it’s just me—not a content creator or public figure in any way—but I’ve always felt that the best aspect of Twitter, Threads, or Bluesky is the spontaneity in expressing your thoughts.

Re:Prisma ORM migrating from Rust to TypeScript on Tuesday December 03, 2024 @09:26AM (#42306366)
According to the announcement:

> Prisma’s architecture has historically limited community contributions. Core functionality—such as query parsing, validation, and execution—has been managed by our Rust engine, which has been opaque to our TypeScript-focused community. Expanding capabilities or fixing core issues often fell solely to our team.

> We’re addressing this by migrating Prisma’s core logic from Rust to TypeScript and redesigning the ORM to make customization and extension easier.

Re:Multiple Displays on a Mac Sucks on Friday April 26, 2024 @10:30AM (#40169852)
I can relate to that. I tried a 4K dual monitor side-by-side setup some time ago (on a Windows PC), but my initial excitement at the available screen real estate was soon replaced by fatigue from eye and neck strain. Turning my head several times a day and forcing my eyes to refocus on a new target left me sore after a day's work.

Command/Tab is now my preferred way too. I've also come to really like Stage Manager on Mac and I don't feel like I need another screen anymore.

There is a mention of dolphins in the article: "This makes them [elephants] the first non-human animals to address each other in a manner that does not imitate the receiver's own call, as dolphins and parrots do."
