My perspective: Stack Overflow was started to be a documentation site, but was implemented as a Q/A site. And that doomed it from the start. If someone wants to get help, and they end up on Stack Overflow, the structure looks like a Q&

@rambleraptor, I haven't actually tried to do anything with your solution. It looks like you've put a good amount of work into it, enough that it works for you and you're willing to share. That's more than I can say abou

How hard would it be to adjust for different CCG's? I tried a while back to play a CCG with my brother and nephew via zoom. Didn't work very well. This sounds like a really good way to do it. :)

In both cases the reason someone was persecuted was they offended someone in power. And the system eventually ruled in their favor. That is the similarity. If you view one of those cases as a bad result, then chances are you are biased. Tha

I wondered if anyone else noticed that. I upvoted. Hopefully more people will as well to balance out the bias. To those of you downvoting, please articulate why you think something deserves a downvote. As it is, I can only assume rather hyp

Wouldn't that only work on NixOS systems? I'm not sure that counts as standardization. That said, someday I need to give NixOS a try.

Look up the Ritter Houge, or something like that. I think it's a less (maybe) expensive version of the griptilian from the same designer. I think. Could be wrong.

Gentoo was the first distro I got working with internet access because it supported the little phone line based network my family had, so I could share dial-up via the parents windows computer. And, yes, I also printed off the install guide

Makes me wonder what it would take for governments to actually hit Microsoft hard enough for it to hurt. I remember when they were hit with anti-trust fines here in the USA due to how they were bundling Internet Explorer as the default brow

VinylPlayer is a fork of Phonograph. :) Symfonium looks interesting. I think it actually does support the multiple artists and genres like I want. Thanks for the tip on that one!

Google Photo seems to only offer normal prints, canvas prints, and photo books.

Thanks for the reply. It's not just prints, though. Cards, photobooks, and other items are on the list. So it really does need to be usable for her.

I had wondered about Google Photos. She does use that, but I've never looked into what they offer for prints. Thanks for the tip.

That's a good way to do it. I was actually thinking of a Git hook or something in the ci pipeline as a place to start. So reading about how you implemented it was helpful. Thanks for sharing!

So, I feel like "Docs-as-Code" has some context I'm missing, so I'm going to comment on docs in general. I think there multiple kinds of docs for software. * Comments explaining a specific section of code. * API docs des

I use it in most of my containers. Very handy if you need to run some kind of pre-script before you main program, or need to run multiple programs in the same container.

The article itself is rather, hmm... Melodramatic? Not sure that's the right word, but it is close. That said, the overall idea that "open source" projects that are controlled by a single vendor have problems is true. I think

FYI, you need to add the api-key config section to the stream.conf file on the parent node in order to enable the api key and allow child nodes to send data to the parent node. I thought it went into the netdata.conf file... I also kinda wo

Nice to see that the log analysis is being worked on. I'll see if I can figure out the integrations you pointed out. They look more like they are aimed at monitoring the metrics of the tools, not using the tools to aggregate logs. Righ
