Was browsing stackoverflow and saw how they handle votes in comments, clearly indicating one is to upvote (like other websites), the other to (quite literally) flag said comment for moderation purposes (it even clarifies when you hover it! amazing!).

Quite different to devrants UX. :)

On another note, glad to see the time capsule website still didn't change since years back, people even discovered that not everything is a rant. :^)

Couldn't spot any edgy pre-teens either scrolling a bit.

Daily reminder that github and gitlab still don't have ipv6 dns records

sometimes you just can't deal with that messy piece of shit iptables frontend

lol​

Glad to be back to some IRC servers that managed to not die off and ZNC bouncer got so much neat default and external plugins now, for example you can get push notifs if you want: https://github.com/jreese/znc-push

Finally, have heard those rumors for a while now.

Fuck, now I'm actually somewhat mad how much time those figma plugins could've saved me lol.

Especially things like generating a quick color palette, that immediately pastes them next to the element are so damn useful.

Generating real-life data into text elements, avatars pulled right from an API, auto fetched graphs for example data, all the goodies that make life easier.

The new figma plugins are actually insane lol, some examples:

- font scale, always struggled with having to apply the formula myself or finding the right one so it scales nicely

- image tracer, that plugin replaces adobe illustrator for me, since I only used it to convert pixels to vector images

- removebg, 99% of what I pulled photoshop up for

still have to test them some more, but so far it literally replaces all that adobe crap for me.

I haven't checked figma plugins much since their announcement, but holy shit scrolling through the list now is nuts, they have so much goodies, open source, things you had to pop into adobe illustrator first too.

I can't fucking read adobe *eks deh* ever as what they intended it to be, it always seems like the author of the comment / .. is a gen Z laughing out loud about something.

What if my connector doesn't want to group itself into male or female on either end? how am I supposed to connect it then.

And suddenly all people tag things properly.

Honestly, stripe support is the best I've ever dealt with and I wish others would be exactly the same.

No level 0 support agents that don't know what the fuck they are talking about nor know their product to begin with, but instead every single person you chat with knows the API and even implementation details, just such a pleasant experience.

Downloaded example code and he left gmail credentials in...

Always have a slight smirk whenever I see unifi devices ready for "adoption"

Indeed, absolutely no issue with the new modern art laravel docs, dipshit.

Holy shit looks exciting, an actual split window manager with custom layouts on win10?

Looks like he had to submit a 5000 chars paper, but did 200 instead and filled it with images.

neat, ansible control server on my phone, now I can transfer my playbooks and ssh keys and have it execute things on the go.

nice, though I didn't even know xkcd had accounts lol

First of all, a great channel to follow and where all this is from: https://youtube.com/watch/...

It listed a lot of open source news I missed myself and I'm sure others did too, for those that are too lazy to watch the video or open the description, I've stripped away the links and "X version got released" just to give an idea of what he covers.

uh-oh, I've made the amazonian gods mad by activating my vpn on my phone at the wrong time at the wrong place. (please don't send delivery drones nuking me)

I thought my alexa routines and other things vanished because of an update of sorts, but it was because it switched to another vpn region, so I've setup the same stuff again only to get like two reminders at the same time they used to be, guess I now have to either stick to the region or deactivate vpn, remove the old reminders and go back lol

lol

We had recently a thread asking about our internet speeds, this seems relevant to most of what I've read in the comments so far.

Purely based on name, I think I've got recommended an amazing channel.

How about "it's not your business to know that as long as they deliver what's necessary"?

That whole tracking and screenshot software movement for remote work is so vile, main reason I work at fixed rates where I just add a percentage of space on top and then do new contracts if they exceed that.

Decided to try keepass again and the combination of it all nowadays is just (nearly) perfect:

- Keepass2
- KeepassXC Browser extension (the only reason for "nearly" since NatMsg tries to emulate keepassxc but sometimes fails)
- KeePassNatMsg
- Syncthing
- Keepass2Android

There's tons of more things to discover still, but that already gave me a much easier (especially backups wise) and plugin setup than what I had before with bitwarden!

Syncthing also _just works_ (not like it used to be) which makes me all the time question what's wrong with it haha

A creative way to get yourself locked out from your server: having your new password manager hit an old entry port for a favicon - which gets you banned, took me a second to understand why I can't suddenly access things anymore lol
