flagged24··on Reasons to not use your own domain for email
The thing is, my domain registrar can be contacted by phone. They have a support desk. Google will give you the cold shoulder when you are flagged by their AI system unless you can create an outcry on social media.
flagged24··on Chronic fatigue syndrome may have a post-viral infection origin
Be very careful in judging if someone is faking CFS. You often only see someone when they are on a (social induced) high. Not when the crash comes 24h or even days later. The added suffering from not having a support network, or worse being accused of faking is just unreal.
flagged24··on Next.js, Just Why?
That's a tough spot to be in. I would probably use Next 13 with page routing. If say Remix gets more traction, switching shouldn't be too difficult. Same for Qwik which has a similar tsx/jsx syntax. It's going to be interesting to see how this pans out. It looks like more people are getting annoyed with the direction Next.js is going.
flagged24··on Next.js, Just Why?
A pretty sad state of affairs. I really liked Next.js pre App Router but feel this new direction is not for me. Sure we can still use the legacy routing but they clearly steer towards App Router/RSC.
flagged24··on I Really Miss Laravel
Serverless means:

- No access to native cron

- Remote database (latency)

- Cold starts

- Function timeouts

- Memory constraints

- Limited runtime

Using Laravel in a serverless environment would introduce the same restrictions.

flagged24··on Northern summer was hottest on record by a significant margin
I did some reading and this is actually happening. [0]

Sensors are increasingly being surrounded by urbanization and this influences readings by the heat island effect.

flagged24··on Northern summer was hottest on record by a significant margin
If we have more data points in cities, this could skew the results. I live in a forested area and going into the city can easily add 3 or 4 degrees Celsius.
flagged24··on deVStudio – Runs VS Code on Android
I installed devStudio and hover seems to work fine, probably due to the vnc layer. What doesn't work well is the mouse pointer, there is a weird offset between the native cursor and the vnc cursor.
flagged24··on deVStudio – Runs VS Code on Android
My biggest gripe with vscode on Android (code-server pwa on DeX) is lack of mouse hover and text selection. With so much intellisense hidden behind mouse popovers not having access to that is a bit of a show stopper.
flagged24··on Things I wish I knew before moving 50K lines of code to React Server Components
No we didn't come full circle. I always wanted a server side rendered SPA where the server template is the same as the client template. With PHP/JSP you have to switch context to say jQuery for interactivity. With an SSR rendered React SPA you continue where you left as the page gets hydrated.

Maybe the Hetzner AI system flagged the hetzner.com account and they have no recourse.
flagged24··on Helicopter Footage Reveals State Trooper Surveillance Capabilities
Police brutality on pandemic protesters and really the handling of the pandemic has made me realize how fragile our democracy is.
flagged24··on Earthquake strikes Southern California with preliminary magnitude of 5.1
That's a valid point (induced quakes in otherwise stable area). Still a 3.6 is equivalent to a heavy lorry passing by (I've experienced this myself). Something a house should be able to handle without problem. The 3.6 quake was the worst quake ever for that region. Most are well below this range as you mentioned.
flagged24··on Earthquake strikes Southern California with preliminary magnitude of 5.1
Can you talk about an earthquake problem if the strongest earthquake recorded was 3.6? The south of the Netherlands seems to be more prone to earthquakes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_the_N...
flagged24··on StarLite 12.5-inch Linux tablet
A shame for an otherwise interesting tablet. The HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook sets the benchmark for me with a 1200 nits matte screen.
flagged24··on Making the case for Laravel as a Next.js alternative
As a former PHP developer, I can't see myself part ways with TypeScript as a backend and frontend language. I don't have to think about syntax anymore. No context switching. I can see a future where Next.js is replaced with a more light weight alternative that has the same pure JavaScript templating power as jsx, but without the cruft of hooks.
flagged24··on I reviewed 1,000s of GraphQL vs. REST perspectives
If you consume your own graphql endpoint you can add some layer of security by only allowing predefined queries and inspect the provided query variables. I use PostGraphile as an Express middleware and only allow whitelisted requests.
flagged24··on Samsung DeX
I like the concept and DeX is getting close. But many things work slightly annoying, with all annoyances combined, I rather use a full OS (Linux)

For instance:

- opening a new tab in chrome does not focus the address bar (can be mitigated by using Vivaldi browser)

- Text selection varies wildly between apps, with some allowing regular mouse selection, others requiring a double or long click and drag to select text. Dragging can easily interfere with swipe actions. Eg, you delete an email while trying to select text.

- No mouse hover, which bites especially in vscode.

- When switching between phone and DeX mode, apps restart (browsers will reload tabs)

- Many apps do not have an option to show multiple windows, for instance chrome does not support detaching a tab.

- Spell check with a physical keyboard is difficult.

I tried running a local Termux Linux distro over X11-VNC, regular VNC and RDP but didn't feel the experience was good enough.

Cannot confirm this outage and would have been notified by uptime robot.
flagged24··on Winter temperatures above 35C in South America leave climatologists in disbelief
It was injected into the stratosphere. Apparently adding as much as 5%. It makes a big difference at what altitude the vapor resides in relation to warming or cooling effects.
flagged24··on Top Node.js ORMs, query builders and database libraries in 2022
I'm moving from prisma and knex to kysely. Excellent typescript support, especially with kysely-codegen. All that's still needed is better transaction support.
flagged24··on Ocean Heat Record Broken
The warmer the water, the less oxygen it contains. Probably why the cold polar waters are teaming with life.
flagged24··on South America is living one of the climate extreme events
I would not be surprised if the Tonga Eruption has something to do with the current extremes [0]

flagged24··on Moving Vite's Node API as ESM Only
It looks like ESM is getting good traction this year. Just moved a big project (Next.js and Express backend) over to ESM and this went pretty smooth.
flagged24··on Distributed PostgreSQL Benchmarks: Azure Cosmos DB, CockroachDB, and YugabyteDB
I think everyone loves the concept of a distributed database, just not the added latency and reduced feature set vs a local PostgreSQL instance/cluster.
flagged24··on Byte Fanless Mini PC – Built for Linux
Love the portability story, but the dimensions are pretty close in my book. 155 x 155 x 80 (mini STX) vs 120 x 120 x 43 (Star Labs mini pc)
flagged24··on Byte Fanless Mini PC – Built for Linux
I got a similar priced, but slightly larger form factor, an AsRock X300 mini-STX. A silent Noctua fan, 64GB RAM with an AMD Ryzen 5700G (about 77% faster than the Intel N200 in this mini pc) it idles at 12 Watt but can go up to 133 Watt if required. I think the mini-STX form factor is more serviceable and doesn't take up that much more space. It's "fanless" on idle but can spin up the fan when it needs to. You can get a lot more bang for the buck with a custom build.
flagged24··on How I run my servers (2022)
Once every 2 or 3 years I configure a new VPS with the latest Ubuntu LTS server release, install latest PostgreSQL, NGINX, Redis, Node.js. No containers, just standard Linux user accounts for each app. Pretty boring to be honest, but I don't have a problem that requires more complexity. I once tried a more complex distributed approach with load balancers and multiple VPN providers. Turned out the added complexity was the cause for instability and downtime.
flagged24··on It's official: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 2027
This was not uncommon in the early smartphone days. I rember buying a battery with twice the capacity for my HTC Touch HD, it came with a larger back cover.
flagged24··on I stopped buying new laptops (2020)
I decided to buy a Mini-STX (AsRock X300 64GB RAM/Ryzen 5700G) and wait for a good laptop to become a available. It's still portable, much better performance/price ratio and you can buy a good (portable) high brightness matte display of your own choice. It may not be portable as in battery portable, but it's small enough to go in suitcase.
