One compromise that I can recommend is hosting the Email server yourself for incoming mail, but using an external SMTP relay such as SendGrid or SMTP2GO to send outgoing email. That way you never have to worry about your emails being blocke

Here is my script gfm-preview [1], which I think is pretty cool since it implements a HTTP server in 50 lines of shell script (ab-)use with netcat. What is does is it starts a HTTP server that serves a rendered preview of a Markdown documen

Spotify playlists are great but I would like to be able to shuffle from a combination of them. Playlist folders do not cut it because then all combinations must form a tree. So I made a shell script to create those combined playlists [1]! [

I consider part of the blame to lie with React. The React source code structure is pretty obtuse. Compare that to the Inferno.js source code which is easy to understand and navigate for anyone familiar with how a VDOM library should work.

Of course, but AFAIU this massively shortens the chain. Newer versions of rustc up the minimum compiler version required for building all the time.

Nix derivations are also lighter than containers. Just ordinary packages.

Gnome is also incredibly slow to allow one to select a particular window when Alt-Tabbing. It is a one second delay every time you want to change window.
