Ngl this looks like astroturfing to me too

There’s a lot more to an application than its configuration. It may require certain specific system libraries, need a certain way of starting up, or a whole host of other special things. With a container, the app dev can precreate a perfect environment for their program and save you LOADS of hassle trying to set it up.

The benefit of all this is that you can know exactly where application state is stored, know that you’re running the app in it’s right environment, and it becomes turbo easy to install updates, or roll back if needed.

Totally spin up a VM, install docker on it, and deploy 2-3 web apps. You’ll notice that you use the same way of configuring them, starting and stopping them, and you might not want to look back ;)

The most popular way of configuring containers are by using environment variables that live outside the container. But for apps that use files to store configuration, you can designate directories on your host that will be available inside the container (called “volumes” in Docker land). It’s also possible to link multiple containers together, so you can have a database container running alongside the app.

I’m not buying Hue anymore, but the few ones I have reset and are ready for pairing after like four or five power cycles. Last I had to do it I remember reading about a time window that those cycles need to be in but I’m not sure how fast it needs to be.

I’ve heard of Revolut and Curve so far.

Yeah, it starts behaving as your pawn completely, and promotes as if it was yours from the beginning. This is one of the things I’m unsure about because while it could be annoying in theory, it looks like it encourages the player (read: myself while testing) to push their pawns more eagerly to avoid having them turned on themselves.

AFAIK they don’t allow passing content through jellyfin, or running a vpn through a tunnel. General web services are fine tho

I only know hearsay but apparently world was spammed with CSAM

I generally feel fine if I can preview the payload and it doesn’t contain too identifiable stuff. Even better if you can redact fields. NewPipe has a simple implementation of this where it just opens up your email client with a pre-filled body.

Not if they don’t track you. As far as I understand the fabled cookie law, you only need to have that notice if you’re using cookies in a way that’s not strictly necessary for the site’s functionality.

Wait I got tricked by mine never mind lmao

It might be that’s your client is replacing it. If you can see it on the web, it is.

Following the system theme is good, but so many times, apps start in light mode by default before loading these settings. This results in an awful white flash before the app is able to query the system what theme it should use. The shell for apps for before they load should definitely be dark imo

My coworker had this issue recently, and he had to screw around with different cables, docks, and profile settings on the monitor itself for half an hour before the better refresh rates showed up

I imagine it will be janky at the start but when it matures in a few months, it’ll be so awesome

Set your default browser to another one, then it should be clickable again

This repo should be in some prominent position for new tech literate people so they can start contributing as fast as possible if they want to
