Radio buttons are in html spec for over 30 years and they allow extensive CSS styling on every part of the element.

Same. Also I don't get using RPis for hosting all kinds of services at home - there are hundreds of mini-pcs on ebay cheaper than Rpi, with more power, more ports, where you can put in a normal SSD drive and RAM, with sturdy factory ma

Yep. I got over 250TB/month traffic (150TB+ outbound) on Hetzner, and I don't pay anything additional for that, just ~800$ month for 11 servers. At 7c/GB that would be over 10500$ just for the traffic alone, and probably abou

I have more than 10 servers on Hetzner (some dedicated, some VPS), for 5+ years and the same experience, once one of the dedicated servers had some hardware issues, and an hour later the drives were moved to another box and it was running

TBH I don't need "fine grained rules for each app". There is only one rule I care about for most apps - block all notifications.

General web development. PHP, javascript, css. I used to do some java projects as well, but not lately. I know it's not mainstream to use NetBeans these days, but I don't care, I'm just used to it and it gets the job done. Ma

Not sure if you mean that sarcastically, but it's a really boring and stable OS, the setup is just a few clicks and hitting enter a few times. I think I haven't even bothered to change the wallpaper on my newest laptop. There&#x27

Nothing interesting. I spend like 99% of my computer time in the web browser, ide and terminal. Chrome, git, ssh, docker, netbeans

I too used to obsess over customizing my OS. Now I just install Debian, a handful of programs I use daily and that's it. I can recreate my setup on another machine in 20 minutes.

Not really, I have a Discord account for at least 5 years, I'm a member of several Discord communities and none of them are related to gaming. For me it's kind of a replacement for IRC.

It still exists, the last app update was uploaded yesterday, but it seems most of the users didn't stick around after the initial hype died down. I guess the early focus on monetization and trying to turn it into payment app didn'

IMHO it's not so much of a problem with google search, but the internet as a whole. Most genuine discussions have moved from open, publicly accessible web to places inaccessible to search engines and general public. Smaller niche forum

I have the same experience. I have tried my friends VR set a few times and another one at a work party, and overall it was pretty underwhelming. Uncomfortable, a bit nausea inducing and nothing particularly impressive. Kind of cool to try o

Udemy can sign a receipt with a simple cryptographic key. But what's the benefit of blockchain here?

I'm using X220 from 2011, it has i7, 8GB RAM and SSD, running Debian Linux. I don't even feel the need to upgrade. It's in ideal condition, I love the keyboard and form factor, and for my daily tasks mostly involving terminal

If your solution is to trust the Internet Archive, why not just skip the blockchain part? Any hash can match virtually unlimited number of different turd images. And even if you trust the hash function to never be broken or brute forced wit

Wow. This is really awful, would be bad idea even for a major version. Shipping it in minor version is insane. It's the worst kind of breaking change, not just resulting in error or exception, but can easily lead to loss or damage of d

Does DO even offer dedicated servers? I have used their vps in the past. It was ok, no issues, but more expensive than hetzners vps or dedicated for large traffic/cpu needs.

My app allows for "share nothing" architecture, basically using multiple DNS A records as load balancing. Currently it has 6 servers. Even if 5 of them would go down at the same time, the site would still work as intended (thought

I handle ~150TB and 26M page views for ~$500 by simply renting a few dedicated servers at hetzner. And if I didn't need quite a lot of processing power (more than average website), it would be much lower. I only need so many servers fo

Not really that simple, I see a lot of potential for abuse - using bots and brigading to mass downvote your competitors or political opponents. Couple of positions up or down in google results for somewhat popular and valuable keywords can

Not surprising. It's incomparably quicker and more profitable to list a few top selling products with affiliate links and a bunch of relevant keywords, than to spend significant time and money actually researching and comparing these p
