  • ImageMagick does the job but can be slow. libvips is à faster alternative

  • This thread was a fun read. The part where the author tries covering up their BS with force pushes is so messed up...

  • This is neat. I've intercepted trafic from a few apps in the past, and whenever cert pinning was enabled it was a massive pain to deal with

  • Blocking or allowing domains should not mess up SSL. Is there anything else filtering or intercepting the trafic ?

  • This would have been a (if not the only) good point to make in the article considering the title. But I guess this would have taken space away from ads

  • The headline is vert clickbaity : it does not affect VPN users (the law forbids age-gated websites from promoting VPNs as a circumvention), and the whole article is just an ad for VPNs

  • Is this some kind of virt-manager but with a TUI ?

  • https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin is a great tool to manage and search your shell history. I especially enjoy it being able to search commands based on the working directory I was in when I ran them.

    It also has more features (which I don't use) to manage dotfiles and sync shell history across hosts/devices.

  • I had one such case recently, turned out it was due to a faulty SATA (data) cable. Once you find which drive is clicking, try plugging it with a new cable before declaring it dead.

    dmesg output may contain some useful error messages. If you find errors related to I/O, block devices, SCSI or SATA, you should include them in your post

  • Reminds me of the time when I bind mounted my home dir in a chroot, then rm -rfed the chroot when I no longer needed it...

  • To anyone saying it's dumb not to use a forge, have you heard of a little open source project called Linux ? It does not use a forge either

  • There are a few things I don't like about this scoring system :

    • Why is there a "Top Provider Content Share" metric if its gonna score the same as the "Top Provider User Share" every time ?
    • Why is the Top Provider Content Share not higher than the user share ? For instance, emails usually have at least one sender and one recipient, making it twice as likely that at least one of them is using gmail. If an email has 10 recipients across 10 different providers, each provider has a copy of the data
    • Why is ease of hosting a mail server rated so well ? How is "leveraging email hosting services" decentralized in any way ?
    • Why are we using a random repo created a few hours ago by a random github user as a reference ?

  • Alternatively, if your databases are on a filesystem that supports snapshots (LVM, btrfs or ZFS for instance), you can make a snapshot of the filesystem, mount the snapshot and backup thame database from it. This will ensure the backup is consistent with itself (the backed up directory was not written to between the beginning and the end of the backup)

  • It seems really nice. Too bad it's not a real product yet (the kick starter hasn't even launched)

  • Enabling multi DC redundancy is really easy though. The other providers you mentioned may have it by default, but they're also a lot more expensive.

    I love that they let me pick my own redundancy strategy, without forcing me to pay for theirs

  • border-radius: max(0px, min(8px, calc( (100vw - 4px - 100%) * 9999)) );

    Oh I missed this. I think it's only here to showcase doing math between different units, which is really nice in my opinion. I'm thinking about a few instances where I had to resort to dirty JS hacks just because CSS did not support this at the time
