  • Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout

  • Thanks for this!! I became spoiled with Arc’s UI, but it’s a Chrome based browser. This looks like it’s the same experience without the bs.

  • The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC

  • Tbh I didn’t even mind what the bot was trying to do. I just remember opening what felt like every post and seeing dozens of lines taken up by the bot. I ended up just blocking it and cross-referencing with ground news myself.

  • Trump advisers weigh actions to dismantle education department – report

  • Unfortunately not everyone has the luxury. Nothing about a 9-5 preventing them being there is “exceptionally lazy”. It’s a reality people face. Especially when everything’s about to skyrocket here in price. Job security is kinda important too.

  • I’ve been using Netlify for smaller apps, but lately Railway has been my go to. Pretty cheap too and it covers mostly everything you’ll need to deploy app regardless of language or framework. Their UI makes it all very easy to manage with the “nodes”.

    Both of those services (as do most) give you the option to load environment variables onto the app itself.

    So the process is normally this: You have env vars you’re using locally like API tokens that you’re putting in your .env during development. Now you’re ready to deploy. Because you’ve gitignored that file locally, you don’t have to worry about secrets being in your code base, but also, because they’re environment variables, you’re framework will see those variables available in the “box”.

    Ultimately, there’s no difference between having stuff in your local .env and injected by a service during deployment. Just make sure the env var keys are the same in each case.

    Hope that’s not too confusing. If so, I’m happy to clarify anything.

    EDIT: also wanna add that Supabase isn’t that bad. It helps you know exactly what you need it to provide for you and then start searching away to see how to slowly put together each of those pieces. With them, I usually start with the Auth stuff, then move on to my database and storage. Functions last if the project calls for them. There’s quite a bit of info out there if you know specifically what you’re wanting to solve at the moment.

  • It’s at least helped those who seek that info be aware of the red flags and processes that took place to get them where they got.

  • What skills are needed to self host without too many headaches?

    Jump

  • You don’t really need to know a specific language to self-host anything. But things like YAML, JSON, Docker, and some networking basic will go a long way.

    If I could do anything different though, it would definitely be to write more documentation. Document the steps taking setting things up, log notes on when you have to fix something, archive webpages and videos that you used along the way. Currently doing that myself now after some time self-hosting.

  • The best Cloud backup in 2025?

  • What public resources do you feel are overlooked/underrated?

    Jump

  • Most counties offer this. It’s a truly unknown and underused service. Even if you don’t have a truck, you can rent a U-Haul truck and it would still be way cheaper than bags of compost/soil.

    I found out about it when studying for the Master Gardner program. For anyone interested in the US, call your local Extensions office and they’ll point you in the right direction.

  • Do you have any tips or tricks to fall asleep?

    Jump

  • This is similar to the meditation technique of anapanasati (mindfulness of the breath). I couple that with repeating in my head “rising” on inhale, “falling” on exhale and focusing on the tickling sensation on the tip of your nose with each breath. Next thing I know I’m waking up in the morning.

  • I personally prefer consistent and smaller releases. It offers less opportunity for big bugs to creep in along with smaller fixes and features.

    I saw agile mentioned here but here’s another suggestion. Agile can be helpful in the right situations but for solo devs/tiny teams, I really recommend looking into Basecamps “Shape Up” method. It uses longer cycles vs shorter sprints with a cool down period in between.

    So in the case of OP, they could set a 6 week cycle and plan for things that can definitely be completed during that time period. Right at the end of the cycle you release. The goal is to finish before the cooldown to give yourself time to breathe and plan what to do for your next cycle. Play around with a fun feature, learn about a new tool or technique you wanna try, organizing your backlog, etc. You don’t want to spill tasks into the cooldown. Else it’s not a cooldown.

    The online version of the Shape Up book is free and can be found here.

  • What are ways to be kinder to yourself?

    Jump

  • This is a big one. One of my friends would constantly berate himself like “I’m such an idiot”, “I’m a dumb old dinosaur” anytime he couldn’t fully grasp a new concept. Over time I could tell that it was actually making him less likely to give himself a chance at understanding. And he truly is a smart dude. One day I called him out on it and he just stayed quiet, took a deep breath and said “you’re right. I’m not an idiot, just need time to understand”. He no longer says it and now embraces a mental challenge.

  • Best Alternative to Postman?

  • Wow… I feel dumb. I’ve used Bruno for over a year now and never noticed.

  • Did someone actually quit smoking after using a vape?

    Jump

  • I wish I could vape. This is gonna sound stupid, bc it is, but I’m a chronic asthmatic who has smoked for about 20 years now. Been intubated twice for asthma. And yet I still can’t put the damn cigarettes down. I’ve tried patches, gum, hypnotism, medication, you name it.

    Vaping was the only thing that was helping when I switched but believe it or not, it was bothering me way more than a cigarette. Immediate throat scratchiness and shortness of breath. That doesn’t happen with smokes though. I’ve tried all sorts of vapes too. All with the same result.

    Smoking is probably gonna be what takes me out and it sucks that I feel totally powerless. I will say though, that the book “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking” by Allen Carr got me off cigs for about 3 months. Then my grandpa died and it all spiraled back from there.

  • And most software is built using open source tools. I’ve had bosses who are just fine forking out tons of cash to AWS but cringe at the idea of donating $100 to something we use daily.

  • To me at least, it feels like the air got heavier (even though it’s really getting lighter). That could be followed by your ears popping. Some people like me get joint pain. My wife gets migraines right away with big pressure drops. Atmospheric pressure is a weird thing.

  • They’re still knocking on doors and slowly getting some to open. Since the last hearings, it seems like a few more whistleblowers have come out as well as more support from officials within to speak on it.

    I can kind of understand how this is all behind a ton of red tape and some things can’t be said for national security reasons. But the committee seems to be very interested and dedicated on getting more disclosure and opening up records to the budgets used up for these secret programs.

    I will say that everyone testifying assured that they knew UAP and NHI exists, and a few small hints were dropped during this hearing that can help us infer what exactly we might be dealing with. One example is when Rep. Luna was speaking and asked if Mr. Elizondo would agree if they craft “are piloted by some mind-body connection”, to which he said that “…they are being intelligently controlled… in some cases seem to anticipate our maneuvers”, which is super interesting to think about.

    (Just my theory here, but maybe some craft exist within a flux of time and space which allows them to react in “bullet time” or phase in and out of time/space while connecting to the observers mind too.)

    Also in regards to the report by Shellenberger about Project Immaculate Constellation, reports of the UAPs seem to be followed with things like “shared awareness with the triangle craft.” Excuse me?!

    All of this is on record and will hopefully work towards full disclosure about what’s out there, even if they omit how they know or what they’ve learned because of reverse engineering that maybe have occurred.

  • It’s a shame people are falling for that trap. Especially after all the shit we all had to hear about it for the past 4 years.
