imcritic··on A Guide for WireGuard VPN Setup with Pi-Hole Adblock and Unbound DNS
So, AmneziaWG?
imcritic··on How to Run WordPress completely from RAM
This site is infected with cloudflare, can't see the article.
imcritic··on Two things LLM coding agents are still bad at
About the first point mentioned in article: could that problem be solved simply by changing the task from something like "refactor this code" to something like "refactor this code as a series of smaller atomic changes (like moving blocks of code or renaming variable references in all places), disable suitable for git commits (and provide git message texts for those commits)"?

That was partly a recursive joke.
imcritic··on Devpush – Open-source and self-hostable alternative to Vercel, Render, Netlify
I have never had experience of configuring cPanel, I only used it, so my perception might be skewed, but the way I understand, cPanel has some built-in integrations with some common (open, 3rd-party projects) things like it supports a quite specific set of databases, supports a specific set of runtime frameworks (like PHP) and so on.

In contrast, this app's description states that it is for deploying your own apps. So does it have any integrations (like cPanel does) with anything? Or is it more like a CI/CD tool (think gitlab-ci or Jenkins)?

imcritic··on Devpush – Open-source and self-hostable alternative to Vercel, Render, Netlify
Search helps you find information, I searched and found only the descriptions of those projects and the problem is that all those projects have way too generalized descriptions, to the point where it's perceived as a noise, rather than as a signal.
imcritic··on Devpush – Open-source and self-hostable alternative to Vercel, Render, Netlify
I struggle to grasp what it does. What's Vercel and what that does? Someone here in the comments mentioned coolify.io and Dokploy as more alternatives. None of those projects have a good description of what they do. They just "ship anything to anywhere". That's too broad, I need details, I need a short explanation of their basic mechanisms.

Tiresome!

A month has passed, m1 MacBook pro is still not supported. Sad!

How often will you repost this?
imcritic··on Why do wind turbines have three blades?
Parts of the article repeat other parts of that article.

If you're saying that was done by a human, rather than by AI - then things are even worse.

imcritic··on Why use mailing lists?
Is Gmail non-propietary? Can you self host it?
imcritic··on Why do wind turbines have three blades?
AI slop produced by someone that needed to meet word count criteria.
imcritic··on Why use mailing lists?
First inform us of mail providers that match the same criteria.
imcritic··on Why use mailing lists?
They mention a point where it's like enough to just have a mail client vs learning ui of 687 forums. This is so incredibly idiotic that I am just stunned.
imcritic··on Helium Browser
Aren't we all?

It would work just fine. People will use search to find products they seek.
imcritic··on That Secret Service SIM farm story is bogus
Even if gov isn't involved directly - it could very easily press some corps for such firings.

imcritic··on Dear GitHub: no YAML anchors, please
I think the author is nuts.

First, he can just not use the feature, not advocate for its removal.

Second, his example alternative is wrong: it would set variables for all steps, not just those 2, he didn't think of a scenario where there are 3 steps and you need to have common envs in just 2 of them.

How do you call someone who has been doing evil things suddenly do one good thing?

Well, in my case the browser is Google as well, so...

Sometimes it's just browser<>GPU driver issues.

The author clearly has graphomania. I am not reading that.
imcritic··on PayPal to support Ethereum and Bitcoin
PayPal locks people out of their money. Screw them, never using this shit again.
imcritic··on Two Slice, a font that's only 2px tall
I am worried someone would use that somewhere thinking it's so artsy. This better not exist at all.
imcritic··on WinBoat: Run Windows apps on Linux with seamless integration
So the app you want to run (suppose that's a game) runs in a docker container? Wouldn't this, just like with running the game on a Windows -in-a-VM setup) require an extra GPU (since you want your game to be GPU accelerated, but if you pass the GPU resource to the docker container (does that even work?) - your host machine thus loses the GPU?
imcritic··on WinBoat: Run Windows apps on Linux with seamless integration
I don't understand what's your suggested setup is, could you expand on that?

So you have a Linux desktop that runs a Windows VM that runs multiple things at once: the app you want to run; an RDP server that is configured via 1 of those 2 tools to stream just the app's window instead of the whole Windows desktop; and on top of it you run the other 1 of those 2 tools you linked to wrap the RDP server's stream into a web server, so that instead of running an RDP client on your Linux host to access the Windows-hosted app you could simply use the browser?

Is that your suggested setup?

If yes - then it won't fit resource-demanding gaming, as for such games you'd need to pass your GPU to the Windows VM and thus your host Linux loses a GPU, so you need a 2-GPU setup for that to work comfortably.

imcritic··on The Rise of Hybrid PHP: Blending PHP with Go and Rust
Does any of this have some kind of support of existing PHP modules?
imcritic··on The Rise of Hybrid PHP: Blending PHP with Go and Rust
FrankenPHP sounds promising, but in reality it is a weirdo: no one uses PHP without modules. Where is the list of PHP modules supported by FrankenPHP? Is it possible to compile it with some extra PHP modules? How? I see it is tightly bound to Caddy. I am not much familiar with that webserver, I would prefer nginx, but there's not a single guide mentioning if that's possible to use nginx with FrankenPHP (as a php-fpm replacement). Also, either Caddy itself, or FrankenPHP's docker image is quite opinionated in regards to using let's encrypt certificates and it is not trivial at all how to make it work via HTTP (if something external would provide SSL) or using own certificate.
