I don't know if they are listed on the EU alternatives website, but for mail, I find Migadu to be excellent. I think they are Swiss.

I couldn't agree with you more. I love VR as a concept, but the giant headsets are just unusable. Hence, I research this frequently and someone appears to finally have realised this: https://www.bigscreenvr.com/ Linus

I learned vanilla Javascript first. Spent a few years building various frontends / websites that way. Then came React. I thought knowing Javascript meant I'd know React. Oh boy was I wrong. I started around the time that class-bas

I wonder whether people who defend piracy also defend making money with it. That tends to be where I draw the line (except for perhaps very extenuating circumstances). For me, piracy without profit motive is literally just knowledge /

What is RAG in this context? I only know it as red, amber, green...

Very interesting. Another Next victim here. One of my anecdotes is the bonkers caching / fetch deduplication. Yes, set cache: no-store. But that only works for fetch requests. If you have a 3rd party lib doing the fetching (say, Google

You are right, my statement was too extreme, borne from frustrations over the degradation of many online services by profit-motives. I'm sure online dating platforms, so long as they get user profiles in front of user eyeballs, are ine

It's almost insulting how predictably this happened. I do wonder how much more money they made by selling information instead of just having a paid subscription model.

I was one of those people who got into online dating just at the transition from "Only weirdo losers do online dating" -> "The only way to meet anyone is online dating". So for about two years, I was there, on OKC as

So glad to see someone else say this. NextJS 13 was (is) a complete an utter disaster. I took on a reasonable-size project around that time and the documentation was incomplete, no library worked on it. Mystery caching and fetch-call dedupl

Yup, I couldn't agree more. His music from back in the day is so incredibly unique and nobody has made anything like it before or since. It's impossible to find anything like it. Unfortunately he seems to no longer want to make mu

Old Amon Tobin was just the best. At the end of the day, Slowly, Journeyman...some of the best music I have ever heard. His stuff with the London Symphony Orchestra is bonkers ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggl_pWkbEoc ).

Not from a CSP (content security policy) perspective. Which can sometimes make all the difference.

That is my main issue as well. What is mshell? Why do I have to install it on my remote? Surely a dependency like that should be pointed out front and centre...

I seem to only be given a selection of 3.5 type models if following those steps.

So, how close are we to having to compile our own browsers to ensure we can still use valid certificates? And which CAs will be trustworthy after this?

Next.js is such an odd experience. On the one hand, I've built three apps in Next.js, a business directory on Vercel with a separate (Firebase) DB, a blog (Cloudflare, Next on Pages) which pulls from an API and a little calendar manage

This is baseless speculation, but I'm assuming Jabber is being targeted as it's famously used on darknet markets for drug trades (or other illicit activity). Goes to show that you should never just trust "it's encrypted,

The docs are soooooo bad. This is the same story with any exciting / new product. Honestly, I'm beginning to think that we need some kind of documentation-first style development. Like TDD, but DDD.... I have integrated Facebook A

Well, the criminal networks are planet-wide. The war on drugs is planet-wide. Thus, the legalisation of drugs can also be planet-wide.

Yup, fictitious enemies are always needed to keep the machine running. Terrorists, gays, foreigners, trans people, drugs. So long as people think that these are the problems in society (and not, say, billionaires) the government can keep cr

A few years ago I wouldn't have agreed with this opinion. Looking at the world now and where things are headed...I agree.

Does anyone know of a managed postgres service that happens to use Hetzner? I'm running my own PG instances on Hetzner, but getting tired of managing it myself. Going with a 3rd party makes me worried about latency (currently it'

Rather than just deriding someone, you could of course offer them a way to improve, by suggesting that it should be 'and solidly engineered', or 'engineered solidly'. The whole sentence / tag line could probably do

I also started out without frameworks and still prefer to work that way. However, I have found them to come in handy when solo-ing projects that require: - transpiling JS back into the stone age for compatibility - accessibility - seamless
