   My current solution is to switch the syntax highlighting to monochrome which should work fine for both modes. I love the colorful syntax highlighting, though. So maybe I will revisit this later to find out if I can do something along the li

   Thank you for bringing this up. I had been looking for an “easy” way to enable a Dark Mode on my website without overriding user-configured default colors and this seems to do it pretty well. My page uses a minimalistic CSS and only changes

   For many queries, Google offers more of a "ready-made" solution e.g. from a StackOverflow post or blog. When looking at the offline documentation, I know that I am looking at a supported version (not something ancient or much newe

   For me, the best documentation is often the manpages and perldocs, both of which can be navigated using VIM keybindings. For the remainder of documentation, I found HTML to be the “best” format and thus view them from the Web Browser even w

   The developer tools Network tab directly indicates the first connection as being HTTPS. No redirect shown there. I additionally tested with my own site: http://masysma.net/31/web_main.xhtml . It is configured to not re

   Firefox 102.10.0esr seems to do this here. I type into the address bar: ` http://example.com ` and it corrects it to the HTTPS version. Even when I try to change the URL back to the ` http:// ` it goes to the HTTPS versi

   AFAIK it does not contain any function to support this directly. My primary way to interact with Archive Box for such purposes is by calling it on the command line. Scripts may be used to obtain the URLs of interest from any source. When I

   I am not angelmm, but another happy ArchiveBox user. My choice of extractors is the following: Singlefile, PDF, Screenshot, archive.org. I found the largest issue with any website archiving tools to be the discrepancy between what I see in

    The script has single `&` which means the respective commands will run in background (and in parallel!) which effectively ignores their return codes.

    I actually wrote something of that sorts for my personal projects: https://masysma.net/11/maartifact.xhtml Downloads tgz if not already downloaded, saves it to directory `../x-artifacts` and optionally extracts it

    Actually, in my experience it can also bite the other way around: I was locked out of my Google account after using it in Italy and coming back to Germany. Unable to login: It would first ask username, password, then send me an a-mail, then

    For my needs, contrast must be strong. Hence I mostly stick to the defaults on a 16-color urxvt. vim: `ron` which I think is the default. vifm: custom-made colorscheme ( https://github.com/m7a/lp-conf-cli/blob/

    My most-used self-written script is probably ``syssheet` -- this script displays information about the running system in terms of load (RAM usage, disk usage, load avg, users) and Hardware (CPU model, Network Interfaces...). It is like a cr

    I like using vi-style keybindings for various applications. Hence, for file managing, I had been using `vifm` for a long time and then discovered `ranger`. I switched to it due to its advanced preview capabilities and the default interface

    As another problem of applied CS I also suggest to add "Character Encoding" to the list of strongly underestimated complex problems :)
