Capable developers touch whatever language is required to get a job done.

There isn’t much of a difference between writing a theme for Guthemberg and the classic editor. In fact your current theme should work just fine in Guthemberg as it just adds the extra html for the built in blocks to your posts / pages. You aren’t required to create a block based theme and split everything into blocks, that’s kind of a myth around Guthemberg.

That or you develop your theme with the features you need baked in. This is the irony of the Hugo people, they’re capable developers that can make themes but they can’t just create a simples Wordpress theme from the ground?

Yeah, everyone with a decent amount of content will just pick Wordpress and move on. It works, it’s reliable, it’s well supported and will keep running for decades at least.

I don’t, but a lot of people around here do… and get really offended when you point it out.

Yep, adguard is a bit shady, besides it was founded as a Russian company. The fact that they do SSL interception also raises a few extra concerns.

Gimp can make memes

Yeah but if you’re a graphic designers and you’ve to share PSD files with others for your job then you’re going to have a very hard time with Gimp.

One Common Linux Myth You Should Stop Believing: there’s a FOSS alternative to every single proprietary software out there that can be used as a replacement in all and every use case.

And is apt meant for “regular people”, hint: it isn’t.

What’s this? A software app store? Swell! I no longer need to download stuff off from dodgy sites or numbingly installing everything manually!

In what year are you in? macOS and Windows both have App Stores. Windows has the built-in winget package manager, similar to apt that has open contributions on github and all the software in the world.

How was your experience with this Unix-like wonder? In a home user manner and/or a business use manner?

I use both Linux and Windows actively and macOS from time to time. Linux works really well it’s free and I love it and it is definitely great if your workflow is all browser-based and/or you don’t have to collaborate on a very specific industry with very proprietary tools as default that everyone expect to be used. If you’re in such industries and people expect to share complex MS Word, Excel, Adobe, Autodek etc. files then Linux isn’t for you, you’ll be in more compatibility pain than anyone should be in.

tablet running MacOS is what a lot of people want and the price is comparable to a MacBook Air.

Exactly because of that. If they allow macOS on the iPad then people will only need to buy one device. Right now people are forced into buying two devices (thus more profits) because iOS is heavily restricted and doesn’t cover on all their needs.

They also want to people to be running iOS and not macOS because everything is code signed and allows them to gatekeep applications. It is way more likely they’ll eventually add a few more desktop UI to iOS and kill the MacBook line than allowing macOS as it is right now into the iPad.

TCB13, 11 days ago to apple_enthusiast in The iPad’s Land of Confusion

software remains the dividing wall.

Yes, there’s no reason for a M4 not to run macOS and work as full desktop. Apple is just keeping iOS as basic and locked on as possible because 1) they want to protect their laptop business and 2) they’re better off if people move their workflows into iOS Apps and Safari because unlike macOS they control what software is available and runs on iOS. The AltStore situation is bullshit as developers are still bound by the same rules and forced to submit apps for review. Until iOS doesn’t allow anyone to run unsigned and unrestricted code the MacBook lineup is safe.

Fair enough yeah. :)

The OP can solve that potential security issue with this option: nginx.org/en/docs/…/ngx_http_realip_module.html#s… on the local server nginx:

<span style="color:#323232;">http {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">(...)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        real_ip_header    X-Real-IP;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        set_real_ip_from  [2a03::aaaac::1]; # Replace with the VPS IPv6 address.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

This will make sure only the VPS is allowed to override the real IP.

TCB13, 11 days ago (edited 2 days ago) to selfhosted in Make my IPv6 selfhosted service available on IPv4 network.

how would the VPS know which traffic to pass and how.

Install nginx in your VPS and configure it as reverse proxy to your home IPv6:

<span style="color:#323232;">server {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    listen 80; # listens only on IPv4 port 80
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    server_name example.com; # your domain name
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    location / {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        proxy_pass http://[2a03:2880:f003:c07:face:b00c::2] # replace with your home server IPv6. Keep the brackets.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        proxy_set_header Host $host;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        proxy_redirect off;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

Point your A record to your VPS, and your AAAA to the home server.

TCB13, 11 days ago (edited 2 days ago) to linux in Here’s what we’re working on in Firefox | The Mozilla Blog

I don’t even use Firefox, and I honestly am not attacking but your comment seemed very hyperbolic and with little detail.

Well I used to use Firefox as my main browser, however it does a LOT of calling home. Just fire Wireshark alongside it and see how much calling home and even calling 3rd parties it does. From basic ocsp requests to calling Firefox servers and a 3rd party company that does analytics they do it all, even after disabling most stuff in Settings and config like a sane user would do.

I can’t stand behind a browser that still calls home after painstakingly going over every setting in config and disabling everything that can be disabled. If you search a bit online you’ll also find that I’m not the only one finding this. There’s also the shady finances thing around Firefox and the foundation.

describes a token to track installations vs downloads. (…) Also there is an opt-out during installation.

How much do you trust that toggle? Did you ever test if it doesn’t call home before you get to the opt out?
