OIDC was requested quite a few times. I finally understood the point when I started using it for my selfhosted apps lol. It can be very convenient.

Yeah, but I could also use a shortener. It’s more ergonomic, easier to use, edit etc. Different tools exist for a reason.

While I agree on principle, we’re not always using big-name websites. The argument falls short for some-local-blog.com, there’s no security improvement on clicking that link as opposed to shortener.tld/blog-link. I’d say we should trust the source of the link instead of the link itself. Link shortening can be useful if you want long links to look nice when sharing, or simply for personal use so that you don’t need to remember long links to access an internal resource. Or just for personal websites. I can link my CV at https://domain.tld/cv instead of the full PDF file path, for example.

I was already using Vaultwarden for the server, just switched to Keyguard on Android and Desktop. Works perfectly.

There seems to be an open PR for a browser extension as well. Hope that’s merged soon.

Oh, we’re far beyond that point already.

Even though I avoid everything Microslop and Adobe like the plague, I think it’s a good thing overall. There are many who would like to use Linux, but can’t due to their work needing Office 365 or Adobe Creative Suite. If someone manages to make the latter work in Linux somehow, a large number of people will be enticed to switch to Linux.

Thanks. Filtering does not cover expiry, but it does cover shortlinks, longlinks, and notes. Making expiry work will make the filtering inefficient for little benefit, since the expiry times are stored as UNIX timestamps in the database.

For most “normal” setups, no. Networks, environment variables, volumes, permissions etc. map pretty much one-to-one.

If you’re using compose, you can even keep your setup mostly unchanged and use podman compose. Although, I would recommend learning a bit about quadlets and using them instead. There’s a tool called podlet that can help you translate your docker commands to quadlets, although it’s not complete and does miss some features. The annoying thing can be some QoL tooling that exists for docker compose that doesn’t for quadlets e.g. automatic restart for changed quadlet files. I wrote some scripts for most of these situations. I will probably release them at some point after I make sure that they don’t rely on any specific properties of my setup. But you can easily write them for yourself if you know some shell scripting.

For docker run commands, you can mostly get away with changing it to podman run.

Yes, my sister uses Gnome, and I’m basically her IT support. I just don’t see any reason for switching. It’s too limiting for me.

I also used it for a month or two on my own machine before I switched back.

I’ve been using KDE for about a decade now. It’s polished, and works well. Plus, it’s also highly customizable, so I’ve never had a reason to switch.

The question has been answered. But since you seem to be new to containers, I’ll just give you a recommendation. Just use podman. It can do pretty much everything that docker is used for, but it’s rootless by default.

I’m sorry, but since we’re being pedantic, this is not a proof. It’s full of assumptions, some of which are wrong.

5% is clearly better than 100%

Never denied it. 0% is even better. What matters is where it’s used. If it’s used for FFI, that’s understandable. Any other use should be scrutinized more. And that’s the issue. The claim of Zig’s creator is that the devs of Bun are not reliable. And to me at least, his arguments make sense.

it’s usual for Rust projects to use at least some unsafe

Doesn’t seem like it. This article claims that only about 20% of Rust crates use unsafe at all. Even among those, the vast majority use it for FFI, which is kinda unavoidable.

but somehow 5% isn’t

Again, no one claimed that. But we need more than “better than 100%” when it’s a JS runtime. And the "better"ness isn’t necessarily linear. So, even though it might be technically “better”, it might not be by much. At that point, what even is the point of the rewrite?

Again, I’m not claiming that it’s actually badly written. I’m only claiming that your arguments are not adequate, and that Bun is not a reliable company, so take whatever they claim with a grain of salt.

It depends on where exactly that 5% lies. If it’s in the core API that’s used by the rest of the architecture, it essentially makes the whole codebase unsafe when used irresponsibly.

I don’t know if that’s the case here, just pointing out that the 5% doesn’t mean much.

When coding, I usually listen to Indian classical. It can’t have any lyrics, as I get distracted by them.

When studying (it’s my actual job, I’m a mathematics researcher), I usually prefer white noise, or just a good pair of noise cancelling headphones without anything actually playing on it. Sound of rain works pretty well too.

Silksong is easily the best game I’ve played in the last few years. If you haven’t played it, I’d highly recommend. It’ll be worth every penny.

It just feels right. It took me some time to get used to the vim motions. But man, does it make moving around any project so fast and natural. I went in for the customizability. And that’s obviously there. But the sheer speed it gives me is uncanny. My past self with VS Code could never.

I’d also suggest taking some time to write your own config from scratch once you get the hang of it; it’ll be worth it.

Idk, I feel like it’s blown out of proportions a bit. It’s always supposed to be unsupported, and users are supposed to look at the PKGBUILD files. I know most people don’t, but I don’t think that’s AUR’s fault.

I love the rolling release model, and the AUR. (I even maintain some packages on AUR.) I have installed and used pure Arch in the past, if only for the rite of passage.

But nowadays I mostly use EndeavourOS. It’s basically Arch once it’s installed, but has a nice and fast installer, with great defaults. Also, the community is awesome. I rarely need any help anymore, but I still like hanging out in their forums helping others, and generally chatting about non-Linux stuff.

Fair enough. I’m not a professional programmer, so I guess I won’t understand your frustration with long term maintenance of Go code. I do agree that it can be unnecessarily verbose. Writing something as simple as an http server takes a long time. Also, the dependency management sucks. It can’t seem to decide if it wants to be declarative or not.

I do like that it’s dead simple though, and that the standard library has most of the basic stuff. I’ve mostly replaced the need for Python with Go, for small CLI apps. Nowadays, I only use Python when I have to use some specific library, mostly for mathematical computing.
