alessioalex··on Migrating to the EU
Didn't like the candidate? Half the country (or perhaps more) didn't even know the candidate. He was pushed with the help of Russia/China via Tiktok and that's about it. He declared 0 (z-e-r-o) campaign expenses. Delusional!
alessioalex··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
I know Kagi is using Yandex (Russian search engine), that's why I am no longer using it.

Is Uruky using Yandex?

alessioalex··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
A macOS screen recording CLI application that can record: screen, mic(s), camera(s), system audio, iPhone/iPad screen. You can select different tracks with their own options (video encoding, audio encoding, filename, combine camera with mic for example or even screen + system audio + mic). It also tracks clicks, scroll, keyboard and generates closed captions automatically at the end. Now I'm working on adding 1-2 more features and an MVP is done.
alessioalex··on Search tool that only returns content created before ChatGPT's public release
You can take whatever stand you want. When there’s a country that killed, raped and tried to exterminate most of Eastern Europe we can choose to cut any and all ties with it and consider them for all intents and purposes ..terrorists.

He probably doesn’t want to support genocide.
alessioalex··on Show HN: I made a web-based, free alternative to Screen Studio
He probably means the whole thing, to self host it somewhere (potentially even on localhost).
alessioalex··on Mox – modern, secure, all-in-one email server
Enjoy the presentation of Mox at Golang Rotterdam: https://youtu.be/KiDP_JoomOY?si=CyiUEgc8J5WfNZ5R
alessioalex··on Dito – an advanced Layer 7 reverse proxy server written in Go
You can use kamal-proxy, recently released. It handles SSL and zero downtime deployments. It’s small and from what I checked the code is easy to read and understand.
alessioalex··on A JavaScript Nightmare
Shouldn’t you use fixed versions and use something like ‘npm ci’ to install the exact dependency tree?

Feels more like an oversight from the developers rather than a JavaScript problem.

When you want to upgrade, only then do you run all regression tests and do so.

alessioalex··on Hyundai promises to keep buttons in cars
Interesting as they just removed almost all buttons in Hyunday Tucson at least. Good thing they're bringing them back.
alessioalex··on EU will require Apple to open up iMessage (2022)
Yahoo Messenger! had the best emojies.
alessioalex··on A Gentle Introduction to SSR
Hydration is how most (if not all) similar frameworks do it (Next, Nuxt etc).
alessioalex··on Show HN: Newser, utility written in go to generate a pdf with news content
A bit off-topic, but I'm thinking of buying a Supernote A5X myself. What do you like most about it, any tips and tricks? Tnx
alessioalex··on [dead]
As an European I welcome this, they don't give a rat's ass about privacy.
alessioalex··on DSLRs are dead, and lenses are never going to be the same
It's the smallest (usable) full frame camera from Sony (there's another smallrer one from Sigms but it doesn't have a viewfinder). Its weight is 509g / 1.1 lb, has the same sensor as the Sony Alpha 7III and better autofocus (tracks humans as well as animals with eye detection - for photo and video).

I recently bought it and like it very much.

alessioalex··on Dev corrupts NPM libs 'colors' and 'faker', breaking thousands of apps
He's a nutjob that blew up his own house while trying to make a bomb or something. There's even an article somewhere. It's not the first time he's being ..weird.
alessioalex··on The most underused browser feature: reader mode
thank you!
alessioalex··on The most underused browser feature: reader mode
Love it. Would you mind putting it on Github and making the licence MIT so that I can use it and link back to you? I really like it, makes it so easy to read. Big like for the nice transition on hovering links as well.

alessioalex··on Advanced console.log Tips and Tricks (2020)
you're being ironic, right?
alessioalex··on Advanced console.log Tips and Tricks (2020)
Very useful advice. In those situations if you're trying to log an object just do `JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2)` to be sure of the state at that time.
alessioalex··on Get better at Googling
People could just duck for 'google' to find out about it.
alessioalex··on Europe’s Super League scores an own goal
Sooner or later the ESL will happen. Let's face it, people don't want to watch a tiny team from nowhere vs a giant in UCL. They want to watch the top teams competing together.

The disparity between the Premier League teams and the other leagues is huge already. ESL was meant to shorten that gap.

alessioalex··on Collabora Office: The enterprise-ready edition of LibreOffice
95% of LibreOffice Online commits were made by Collabora anyway, they mostly just wanted some recognition for their work I suppose.
alessioalex··on Collabora Office: The enterprise-ready edition of LibreOffice
If you are using either one of the following portal it's basically under the name of "Online Office" (there's also mail, cloud and other services similar to what Google has): https://web.de/ https://gmx.net/ https://mail.com

The first two is mainly for German users, the last one is for international ones.

alessioalex··on Collabora Office: The enterprise-ready edition of LibreOffice
You can find a customized version of it on web.de / gmx.net / mail.com under the product name of "Online Office", once you login with a registered user.
alessioalex··on Fastmail was down
You can even do more than that.

I have different categories per services: paid services go to @paid.mydomain.tld, social logins go to @social.mydomain.tld etc. So that means something like paypal@paid.mydomain.tld or twitter@social.mydomain.tld.

Edit: using Route53 for DNS subdomain wildcard.

alessioalex··on Wikimedia is moving to Gitlab
Can confirm, it's extremely off-putting to say the least. Having previously used Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket I find Gerrit very unusual. I have to Google on how to do basic stuff.
alessioalex··on Tailwind CSS: From Side-Project Byproduct to Multi-Million Dollar Business
Exactly. $249 is peanuts compared to the time saved not spent on these components each and every time (for multiple projects even).
