VaultWarden is only the server so far. OP is probably looking for a more “complete” provider with clients for different platforms etc.

Absolutely plus one on this. LanguageTool is great and I’m also very happy on the free tier. With the app installed on macOS it also checks mails in the Apple Mail app, for example.

You can add your own words to your account, if that’s what you mean!

I basically followed that approach with my web (browser) extension: Started with the absolute basics (HTML, CSS, vanilla JS) and slowly ran into situations where I needed more modern features – notably file splitting/imports and types to manage the growing and repetitive JS code.

The approach worked for me and I learned some neat things about vanilla CSS and JS features, but I would also rather start new projects with a boilerplate or framework, because even small projects easily grow in scope and it’s nice to be prepared for the eventuality.

Vox made a little documentary about the relevance of blue light regarding falling asleep. Might be interesting to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isPxdnIND5k

The Space product from Deta is shutting down and will be sunset on 17 October 2024. They’re working on a new product called Deta Surf now.

Sounds nice indeed! By the way: Ironically, I’ve found a few CSS issues on the landing page (input placeholder is cut off on mobile viewports) and your personal website (the blinking line is overlapping the opened menu on mobile). Hope it helps!

This sounds more like a systemic issue than a technological one. New tech will most likely only support the current system (profit over people, in your case), and not magically make things fairer or more social.

Very cool stuff! I might check this out for my extension (https://github.com/herrherrmann/omnivore-list-popup). So far, I’ve been creating my own scripts to manage the extension builds, dev mode etc. – but I’ve been eyeing web-ext already to make my life easier. However, my main browser is Firefox, which doesn’t seem fully supported yet by Extension, right?

Perhaps there’s something similar on Reddit or Lemmy? It could be more around the context of “weekly recommendations” inside subreddits for specific genres.

In Obsidian, for example, you can choose where your media data is stored (and there are options to store them alongside the Markdown files, e.g. in a hidden folder). I guess OP’s point is that this would be a better way, or at least to store media in the same root folder as notes and not some arbitrary folder far away from the notes.

You can also find a lot of soundtracks ripped from the consoles on archive.org! These are usually wav or mp3 files, i.e. more usual and supported formats.

Very cute design and it feels like a very wholesome and honest platform, congratulations!

You can start writing multiple OpenAPI files and merge them with tools like openapi-merger (https://www.npmjs.com/package/openapi-merger). Is that maybe what you want?

I can recommend getting a Nextcloud instance on a third-party cloud provider (I’m using Hetzner) and using the Nextcloud apps. Fast and lightweight!

Similar appeal for me! I have a neighbor with a VanMoof and they are one of the few bikes that can just be parked in a corner with a kickstand and doesn’t need to be locked to a metal bar or other static thing. And this VanMoof has been around in our backyard for quite a few years, so I suppose the “don’t steal me, I’ll be tracked” tactic works. That being said, once I tried riding a (older non-electric) VanMoof, I was shocked how terrible it felt to ride – So, I never considered getting one in the end.

Running on standard replaceable batteries is definitely a feature and not an “outdated design”, especially when it comes to sustainability. And for some devices you can also have both replaceable batteries and charging ports (e.g. some cameras offer that). But yeah, I guess wireless Xbox controllers can’t be charged directly.

“Goral-B” – Well done.

Ah, that’s very cool content! I’d love to subscribe via RSS though, because I want to read at my own leisure without getting my inbox spammed. :/

Have you tried the pdf viewer of your browser (Chrome-based)? That might work. I’m usually using Apple’s Preview app (which has very solid PDF editing features), but I suspect that you’re not on macOS.

That’s a cool insight about TypeScript’s type handling! Since it’s just about one specific case, the title of the blog post should ideally be a bit more specific, in my opinion.

Not everyone is happy to move around in the world just to earn more money. I can’t imagine that a lot of people from Europe would just move to other countries or even continents, just to make more money. So, I don’t expect a “brain drain” to happen anytime soon.

That being said, I’m sure the salaries in Europe aren’t so great, but that goes for many things and other sectors definitely have it worse than tech workers (e.g. healthcare workers).

And it sounds like you could try working for smaller companies that are more agile and don’t have such annoying management issues! (At least in Germany they also tend to pay better or equally well as big corporations.)

The original street pass feature of the Nintendo 3DS would let you “passively” play some games with other 3DS players you encountered in real life (even and especially when your 3DS isn’t even opened). That way you would check your 3DS later and see the players you bumped into during your trip. I think OP is suggesting to have a similar thing for Mastodon. Users would keep the Mastodon app running and other users you meet along the way would be added to a list. (I’m not specifically fond of the idea, but just try to bring in some clarity and context here.)

As a user I wouldn’t have liked one big app for everything. It’s an interesting idea to combine the two worlds, but I’m happy to use dedicated apps that can focus on each network’s unique features. Should also be easier to build and maintain that way.

And it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of hope for the future of 3rd-party Twitter apps anyway.

Matteo Villa, maker of the Fenix Twitter client, is also working on a Mastodon client now (Woolly): https://twitter.com/mttvll/status/1614888366033539072

It’s good to see that many (if not most) of these affected developers are already working on premium Mastodon clients.

I had the same thought!

> When using React/NextJS you still have to rely on third party library for routing, state management, querying etc.

You shouldn’t need react-router or other routing-related third-party libraries because Next’s router (and its file-based navigation system) should be enough(?). I’d also say that React itself has powerful-enough state management options (useState hook plus React context, if needed).

The only annoyance I ran into was getting proper i18n working and integrated with Next (with i18next). There were some issues with Next’s newer releases and a redesigned i18n setup that broke a lot of things for me and I regretted the dependence of multiple libraries and frameworks needing to work together. (Storybook is another library that kept breaking.)

There’s an incredible amount of corruption among German politicians, especially among the “richer” parties CDU/CSU and FDP who are constantly being lobbied and bought by managers in the bigger industries (e.g. automobile and construction). That’s one of the reasons why Germany is so behind with environmental issues, technology/digitalization, and government transparency.

I see, thanks for the details! I’ve never considered differentiating between different levels of “importance” and thus different backup strategies, but it makes a lot of sense!

Interesting! So, you’d still back up your full cloud storage elsewhere (Backblaze has been mentioned by other users), even though your cloud storage provider does backups themselves (e.g. Hetzner claims to do several backups every day)?
