Just go to Settings > General > Screen Capture, and turn off Full-Screen Previews - which fully restores the previous behaviour. Personally I prefer the new behaviour. But eitherways: it’s just an option.

Feel free to substitute my use of the word "company", with "company / organisation / foundation". Plus others I'm surely forgetting. I meant 'company' in the sense of a legal entity, probably pay

There is a significant amount of naivety here. I don't say that in any kind of negative way: it's purely an observation (as a dev who has built a lot of different software over the years, plenty of which is web-based) Let me pick

Ah right, junior dev for a year. Wow, how amazing. Plenty of room for you to 10x many times over then. Over the years, I’ve met plenty of folk who have dabbled with software development, before deciding it wasn’t for them - then pivoting to

Unfortunately there’s no bans for stuff like that. But that’s why I call it out: yes, exactly, it degrades the conversation when someone is preaching about a new tech, and how it’s gonna change development, and claiming they’re a developer

It's ok not to like Rust. But that doesn't make your library native at all — just as Tauri is not native, neither is Sans, and that is the point being made here.

I think it was actually normalised long before container-based development was even a thing. It's always just been standard common practice — both in development and for live deployment. With the assumption being that it's safe, i

This ^^ Just avoid putting secrets in the global environment if it is a concern, and instead just pass necessary secrets locally in the environment when launching a specific app.

Ideally you would fetch values directly from Vault, e.g. using the REST API, ideally with SSL (but that depends on the environment your app is running in /etc.) or using the vault command. One can either access the Vault REST API direc

Erm, it's not redirection, because, like I said: DNS has no redirection — not in the sense that HTTP does. If you don't understand this, then you are perhaps lacking some knowledge as to how HTTP redirects work, and/or how DN

Previously, PiHole used /etc/dnsmasq.d/ with best practice being to put one's own additional config, or overrides, in separate file(s) in that folder. PiHole v6 appears to have most of that config built-in, and upgrading

That's kinda janky really. DNS doesn't have redirection like HTTP has, so what you describe can only be implemented using port forwarding (or SSH tunnelling, but I've never seen a router with the ability to tunnel DNS in this

We use Migadu for everything. There's no extra cost for extra domains, on everything but their smallest account — and as we already have an account for all of our other domains, using Migadu for side projects as well is a no-brainer.
