This is a fantastic write-up, thanks for sharing!

Nice to see that BitWarden’s UI is getting some love… I tried using it a while back but couldn’t get past the terrible UX. Been happy with 1password since but maybe I’ll try switching again…

Happy to see ActivityPods, never heard of it before but was thinking that would be cool!

I don’t think they’re necessarily meant to be self-hosted, although they can be. The point is to decentralize and take control over your data. Will happily explain more when I sober up :)

Exactly my thoughts!

Some excellent content this week. Some of my highlights:

• Plex continues its BS, alienating the users who want to actually use their product
• Fun “fediverse for dummies” writeup

Some really good content in there this week!

• The Plex monetization continues to be concerning, although it’s a good thing they’re almost profitable
• Cloudflare security breach was interesting to read about
• Morphos server seems like good software - I never thought of self hosting a file converter, but I’m always so sketched out by the free online ones
• Might finally set up tailscale, who knows!
• Never heard of watch - always thought I had to write a watcher (e.g. with a node library). That’s massively useful honestly

This made me go down a rabbit hole of server names and I now have a super long list of names from mostly Greek mythology that I’m going to use next time I have a chance

You should reach out to the creators and let them know! https://selfh.st/contact/

Not exactly what you’re asking for, but GhostText might be useful. It lets you use your preferred text editor to write in any browser text field.

Beeper mini has been a sad saga to follow :(

Whoa, super cool! I would love this

Excited to see the Jellyfin UX improving - it’s probably the biggest reason I use Plex over Jellyfin (not that Plex is THAT much better…)

Yeah but it’s awful, and can only install UWP apps which are just plain bad

Since I saw [email protected], just wanted to let you know about my own [email protected] (4k subs, but not too many posts lately).

SSH will definitely break, I’ve had this issue before. If your private key in the .ssh dir is too open, ssh won’t let you use it.

I’d like to point out, the value add of Rust isn’t speed, it’s safety in a low-level language. C is also just as fast, it’s just that Rust guarantees safety in a wide class of potential catastrophic bugs with little to no runtime overhead, by using the design of the language and compiler.

I’ve used Waifu2x extension GUI to pretty decent effect, and it’s free. Does require a decently powerful GPU though, and will take a while to work.

Not sure if you misspoke or are just unaware of it, but Hack is one of the prepatched nerd fonts: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts/Hack. Also, for any fonts that aren’t prepatched, there’s a patcher in that repo to make any font a nerd font.

What do you hate about macOS? From my perspective, it beats out Windows in ease of use, performance, likelihood not to break, and being *NIX; and it beats out Linux by having things working out of the box without needing to spend a decade tinkering just to get things almost working right.

I use Windows for gaming (and work, unfortunately), Mac for general computing and programming, and Linux for servers and vms.

No one here has yet complained about Cocoapods and Carthage? I’m traumatized. Thank God for SwiftPM
