Re:New iMac with M6 on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @10:15AM (#50259736)
They are _still_ featuring magic mouse on the promo photos for the iMac

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/mxk53am/a/magic-mouse-usb...

portainer.io has that, but an opinionated docker-compose is just not enough to provide a solid selfhosting app-berth: DB backups, volume management and backups, email, TLS certs, etc etc etc - so you need a superset
cloudron has that elbow grease that only comes from years of running a project with an actual community of real users: a solid platform featureset like backups, DB management or mail sending, but also addressing niche apps' needs like .well-known or custom ports, UDP, server certificates available to the app and not just on platform frontend proxy layer

highly recommend!

Re:Deno Desktop on Monday June 22, 2026 @10:41AM (#48630835)
Regular Tauri app (aptakube) user on linux here: the experience is very adequate and smooth, I have no complaints. Speed benefits relative to Electron (similar app: K8S Lens) alone are enough to deal with many possible issues.

Could be attributed to app developers going the extra mile, but I suspect it's the framework choice.

Re:The Deletion of Docker.io/Bitnami on Thursday August 28, 2025 @04:56AM (#45049962)
Their Dockerfiles include things like download pre built binaries from $SECRET_BASEURL which is hosted by them, can still be found in git log though. I imagine it will go offline / have auth soon enough.
Re:Building Ultra Long Range Toslink on Tuesday January 07, 2025 @12:48PM (#42625149)
I tore down oculus link cable - it's just copper internally.

Also oculus works fine over the "charging" type c cable + type-c to type-a + a classic copper usb3.0 extender of another 1.8 meters.

Re:SponsorBlock – skip sponsor segments on YouTube on Monday August 12, 2024 @02:29PM (#41227752)
It uses the tv youtube app remote control over local network to see if it plays a video, and skips at the right time.

Any word if this would run the iOS simulator?

Edit: it actually does!

Re:Letsencrypt Supports Wildcard Certificates on Wednesday July 17, 2024 @04:55PM (#40990271)
> Let’s Encrypt follows the DNS standards when looking up TXT records for DNS-01 validation, you can use CNAME records or NS records to delegate answering the challenge to other DNS zones. This can be used to delegate the _acme-challenge subdomain to a validation-specific server or zone. It can also be used if your DNS provider is slow to update, and you want to delegate to a quicker-updating server.

If you initiate it - yes. If the seller charges by IBAN via SEPA - you get 8 weeks to chargeback, no questions asked

This person had the exact same issue with their child, developed an app for this and got banned from play store: https://habr-com.translate.goog/ru/post/421451/?_x_tr_sl=aut...

The app is available as a standalone APK now: https://channelwhitelist-tilda-ws.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=a...

Unfortunately i could not find sources, but it works rather well and has English UI as well

Also check out https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub, it's aggressively compatible with websites that refuse to do RSS, and has a large community that keeps it up to date
Re:Shmig: Database migration tool written in bash on Tuesday September 29, 2020 @09:22AM (#24627466)
I tried flywaydb, and some others. There are not a lot of migration tools that are not part of a bigger framework.

Can you link some examples that you think would gladly process data-migrations that are 1-2GiB large?

Re:Shmig: Database migration tool written in bash on Tuesday September 29, 2020 @05:15AM (#24625514)
If you have giant migration scripts, for whatever reason, this tool is the only migration engine that would not choke on them.
Re:NSQ A realtime distributed messaging platform on Sunday September 20, 2020 @04:18AM (#24532661)
As far as I read the docs, if you use 0 for memory storage size - it will flush to disk before responding that the message was published OK.

Delivery is "at least once".

Re:NSQ A realtime distributed messaging platform on Sunday September 20, 2020 @04:14AM (#24532650)
Was using it in production before. NATS itself is great and reliable.

However disk persistency is done with nats-streaminh and i had big issues with it's Raft file based store, where it would stop accepting messages after a short network issue, and not get unstuck unless I destroy the whole nats-streaming data storage amd start from scratch.

Also raft means 3x disk usage for one queue, since its fully replicated

Re:NSQ A realtime distributed messaging platform on Saturday September 19, 2020 @03:52AM (#24525914)
I searched all over the web for a reliable and scalable plain message queue that could work in a full disk-backed mode, not requiring the data to fit in memory.

Was very impressed with how little RAM and CPU it consumed under load.

Re:Oculus Quest 2 on Thursday September 17, 2020 @08:47AM (#24503924)
Oculus Quest works with stock USB cable. Even via a passive, copper, extender to make it longer.

Oculus desktop software gives you a yellow mark, but games still work.

Re:It’s Time to Get Back to RSS on Sunday May 17, 2020 @12:38PM (#23213133)
as far as i can see, RSSHub does exactly that, and supports as many as 536 scraped sources (of varying caliber) at https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub/tree/master/lib/routes.

It's not an outlandish amount of work, if lots of people chip in with their favorite source.

Re:It’s Time to Get Back to RSS on Sunday May 17, 2020 @12:33PM (#23213096)
To reroute much of web-based feeds consumption to RSS - check out https://docs.rsshub.app/en/

It works quite well, has vibrant community, and support for ripping twitter and instagram feeds among dozens of other sites. It also has a browser extension to help discover available feeds on sites that it can digest - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rsshub-radar-...

There's also a Chrome extension, but that one is not translated from Chinese yet.

Re:Kvrocks: Implement the Redis Protocol on Rocksdb on Friday April 17, 2020 @11:43AM (#22900002)
on paper https://github.com/yinqiwen/ardb does the same thing since 2013, and has other backends while defaulting to RocksDB.

Do you know what are the differences?
