I've taken to hosting everything critical like this myself on a single system with Docker Compose with regular off premises backups and a restore process that I know works because I test it every 6 months. I can swap from local hosting

I used to use Ubuntu for everything and was very happy in the massive Ubuntu ecosystem with a .deb for everything till I was forced to use Snap a few releases ago for installing even some basic utils I used on a daily basis. I then had Snap

Good luck on your link shortener project! I made an open source link shortener many years ago and eventually threw in the towel and quit. The problem domain for link shorteners is one of anti-spam and abuse. Charging for it makes complete s

Choose what fits your field. If you're doing ML you probably want Python. If you're doing web you probably want JavaScript. If you want fast native apps then Go, Rust, C++, C, and the rest based on what libraries you think you&#x2

And this is when comments in code are important! Any random numbers without a source are immediate suspect to me, especially in something that needs to be secure. It will save your coworkers and peers time trying to figure out why it's

My only issue with this is that I can go to my password manager and I have like 10 different Microsoft accounts over the years, some of which seem to be merged, some of which are not, some are from Microsoft acquired entities like Skype and

Oh man, I always find it funny in a slightly schadenfreude sort of way when someone swaps to a new platform, goes to talk about how great that new platform is, and then the platform can't handle basic load. That being said I do use Jam

I honestly miss people building random stuff on the internet to showcase unique information on things like Geocities. They were almost always "ugly" but also always visually entertaining. I remember skimming through hundreds of ca

At my work I've gone through and setup a variety of "replacement" commands for commands that may have dire impact on production systems. All of these replacement commands dry run by default (or fake dry run/try to create

Very cool project and basically a modern RSS feed reader for a modern web where not everything has a standardized feed to digest. Which is a little sad... Something like this is really useful for what it does but I'm afraid of how much

Very good point here, that's definitely bad design on my part, I'll fix it.

That's a pretty cool hack, would love to see some kind of write up on it!

I thought about periodically asking what you're doing too but I'm not sure I like the intrusion of it? Time tracking is definitely something people forget about though and just let go from time to time.

Just in general, I've had jobs that "owned everything I thought of or created" while working for that company. My currenty employer does that have such an arcane policy which I am thankful for.

Nope, not in any way. There's a use for larger solutions like Clockify even if it's just personal stuff and not with a group. I just want a small timer with a log sometimes though and that's what Timelite is for. Clockify is

Add a confirmation sounds like a good idea. CSV exports are definitely on the menu, pretty easy to add.

I do want to add exports to json+csv, not sure how much more use ical export would be but I can add it to the list.

This is something I've been casually working on here and there for a need I had. I use a variety of project management solutions and they all track time differently, some don't even track time at all, and it's sometimes not v

It still seems insanely difficult to track calories and macros with all the apps out there to do it. Most of the content for searching for your food is "community generated" so if I try to add a "Big Mac" (example, not e
