I am currently using Brave after switching from Chrome. Chrome changed the way accessibility worked last year which didn't work for me. Instead of scaling text it zooms in on pages which results in an undesirable scrollfest. Once in a

Is this the reason that Chromium based browsers always change font sizes for me on here? Since I'm visually impaired and have set my text sizing pretty large, I have that issue on multiple sites, including Hacker News. It's a bit

I was generating some SVGs from text last week and thus editor just refused to paarse the generated content. However this viewer worked just fine: https://codebeautify.org/svg-viewer

You are right. However sometimes a change can be so bad, that there is no other option. For instance when Chrome changed the way zoom worked in their Android browser. I had to revert, otherwise it was unusable for me. 1. https://

Brave browser recently also introduced buttons. I was a tad annoyed with it, but accepted it. Until my wife recently saw the new look while I was working and asked how I could even put up with this. She argued that tabs should look like tab

AFAIK no. Dex only seem to act as a federated IdP.

Great addition. I remember that I also looked at Obligator and saved it to my bookmarks. But I decided against it because IMHO the project was just a bit too young. Normally I tend to ignore that, but I really didn't want to switch aut

Dex only acts as a federated identity provider. Unlike oauth2-proxy which acts as a service provider for services that don't have authentication themselves.

Recently I looked into having a relatively simple SSO setup for my homelab. My main objective is that I could easily login with Google or GitHub auth. At my previous job I used both JetBrains Hub [1] and Keycloak but I found both of them a

Last year I bought a Microsoft Intellimouse Pro which I really, really like. Besides being a tad heavy it has been a pleasure to use. I didn't know Microsoft stopped making mice and keyboards. Such a bummer. I wonder what some alternat

At university we were tasked with making an Android application for a real client. This was part of our course and was really fun to do. Especially because we did this in two groups competing with each other. The app was some sort of geocac

In The Netherlands the allowed voltage tolerance is 10% by law. So everything between 207V and 253V should be fine. And we also had 220V until 1989.

I'm unsure what a 'TrueCharts' is, but if it's anything Docker based you probably need to mount the Intel GPU device. You can do this pretty easily with a device mount: `--device=/dev/dri`. Another issues that

That's a bit semantic, isn't it? Because in practice it's still 10, but lazily initialized [1]. And an empty ArrayList is useless anyway. 1. https://stackoverflow.com/a/34250231

In my experience, just a little bit of insider knowledge goes a long ways to making better code. Arrays are fun things, especially when you do a deep dive into the System.arraycopy() function. But the same goes for all Collections in Java.
