Pretty happy with Resilio Sync. I use it on Mac, and linux in a docker container.

Re:Blurry rendering of games on Mac on Thursday August 14, 2025 @10:57PM (#44908151)
League of Legends in borderless mode renders at the resolution that's set in BetterDisplay instead of the real one which makes it very blurry. In fullscreen it does it correctly so I'm forced to use fullscreen.

Is there anyone who has archived this into a PDF or ebook format? I'd love to save and read it in another way.

What was the marketing company called? I'd like to know if they list this service publicly and if so, what it would be called.
Re:Rewriting my website in plain HTML and CSS on Wednesday January 15, 2025 @12:27PM (#42714002)
I think that would become unwieldy very fast. I think it's alright for a lightweight site like this one with very little content.

If you don't want to use a static site generator I think you're better off with just html files for each page/blog entry, or you could use something like htmx and load stuff in that way.

Re:Rewriting my website in plain HTML and CSS on Wednesday January 15, 2025 @04:54AM (#42709175)
This is quite neat. Every page is a <section id="pageid"> and css is

  section {display:none}
  section:target {display:block}
So they use the target selector which becomes active when #pageid is in the url. But the html for all the pages is outputted, so this won't scale with a big blog. I wonder how SEO is for this, and if there's a way to make this better with something like the <object> element.

I would also make it so the url was example.com/#/pageid, so the id is "/pageid". Looks a bit better I think.

One day we'll have the Dark Souls captcha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqnXp6Saa8Y
Looks great!

I found a small bug, if you click Expand in the Top Pages section, the Time on Page column has NaNs.

Dark mode for the dashboard and showing realtime current visitors in the <title> would be great.

It's this in the <head>

Remove the maximum-scale property.
Re:I'm Tired of Fixing Customers' AI Generated Code on Wednesday August 21, 2024 @10:50PM (#41316360)
Could you make a model from your API/docs and let them plug that into their AI stuff? That would be funny.
I hope one day it'll be easy to make a living doing several different things, and not just one thing for 8 hours a day.

Similar, on Youtube you can type before:2025 (any future year) and it'll show better results.

Google had that and I used it constantly. Then they removed it of course. I can't remember if it included small blogs as well.

The Faroe Islands have the best one according to this article I read recently https://prospect.org/world/best-tax-system-on-earth-faroe-is...
It's a common myth, but he wasn't drunk, and the deal didn't happen that day. Several meetings later with several more officials and the deal went through 2 years after that negotiation. They basically placed the line in the middle, and the norwegians got lucky.
Re:The IKEA-powered homelab on a wall on Monday September 11, 2023 @05:02PM (#37473663)
Reminds me of this post where they did the same, but on a cart instead https://ikeahackers.net/2021/08/home-networking-cart.html

Looks pretty good if you don't want to hang it on a wall.
