  • What's your favorite IDE right now?

  • I found most people don't realize the many tiny features it adds over for example vscode (even with all the best plugins enabled yadayada) which in sum make it a much smoother developer experience.

    Instead they open it for the first time, type some lines and say it is on par with vscode.

  • The Dumbest Move in Tech Right Now: Laying Off Developers Because of AI

  • AI writing code for me made me the software architect I always dreamed of becoming.

    I fucking LOVE to think about a hard problem for days, planning, researching, comming up with elegant solutions, doing quick POC, thinking what needs to be refactored for it to scale to a real life scenario, then documenting it all in a way that is properly communicating the important aspects in an easy to understand way. It's so exciting!

    And I fucking HATE having to sit down and actually type out the solved code for hours and hours. It's so boring.

  • How to reverse proxy?

    Jump
    1. you rent a domain
    2. in the config (provided by the service where you rented the domain) you set it to point to the IP of the device where you run caddy
    3. the service tells the relevant global DNS servers your setting
    4. your DNS does a DNS lookup and a DNS server returns the IP you configured it to point to

    Depending on the DNS you use, you can manually add entries to do 1-3 differently, but that will only work for devices that use your DNS and is hard.

  • Simple NAS hardware for home use?

    Jump

  • preferably something with WOL that goes silent and fanless when not in use, or something I can shut down with a button

    Recently I saw a Traefik plugin that can send WOL packets to a machine when a service that is hosted there gets a network request. It also shuts down the device when it's not in use. You can set it up with a low power always on thing, like a rpi. I also have a buddy that set it up in a more diy way without Traefik so it's definitely something that can be done and will save you a lot of electricity in the long term.

    As for the NAS, if you want to start small and cheap, there are N95 mini PC's for like 100-150$. Attatch an external multi TB drive to it via usb and viola there is your first NAS. It will also draw way less power than a full tower PC and still be basically plug and play.

    You can do surprisingly much with very little hardware these days. And because the cost is so low you can upgrade later to exactly what you need. Only by trying out will you find out what you care about and want exactly. Online people keep suggesting their own personal preferences.

  • My personal experience with laptop batteries was not as nice as yours, but neither should be blindly trusted.

    Not sure if there is some science on it anywhere but this random search result article https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/help-my-laptop-battery-is-swollen-now-what says:

    most common cause of a swollen battery is overcharging. Keeping your battery at a high state of charge can stress it out, allowing it to degrade faster. “In an application where you have a system plugged in 24/7, after a number of years your likelihood of getting a swollen battery increases,” says Phil Jakes, principal engineer and director of strategic technology at Lenovo. “The other thing that drives it is heat. Batteries don’t like to be hot, and there’s a chemical process that gets kicked off when a battery gets over 100 degrees.”

    Don’t keep your device plugged in all the time. Batteries are cyclical and have to discharge and recharge to work effectively.

    Keep your devices in cool, dry environments. Hot and humid weather conditions put more strain on batteries and can shorten their operating life over time.

    When shopping for a new battery, buy from reputable manufacturers. It's generally better to buy a replacement from the original laptop maker than the cheapest compatible option from a third party.

    Replace your battery—if you can—if you see its capacity drop too low. Manufacturers test their computer batteries to last up to three to four years, while an iPhone battery is meant to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 charge cycles. If you start to see any warning signs, replace it sooner rather than later.

  • 2 months ago I needed to do a quick and dirty part design. Very simple thing. Just a hook for towels, that looked like the one already on my wall.

    I opened freecad, fucked around for half a day. Didn't get shit done.

    I opened fusion 360 in a laggy windows vm. After half an hour I had the part I imagined in my mind.

    I used neither before in my entire life.

    How comes?

  • Am I blind? Where is the docker-compose? J find references to it in the doc and in the PR's but I don't see it in the files.

  • Has anyone tested yunohost?

    Jump

  • I run Dokploy which is like yunohost but a little bit more advanced.

  • I just looked it up again and it has no plugins, I confused it with a different solution and the fact that there are lots of third party tools around firefly which use the API for automatic imports. But there is no dedicated way to change the web GUI afaik. It still may be a possibility to use the API to attach some other investment tracking tool.

  • I also had bad luck with nextcloud, so recently I've set up SFTPgo and it works rather well and it's only for files. You can either download and upload the files through the WebUI or you can mount them over the network to your OS.
