Any recommendations of software for Android tablets to mock up web UIs? I have an Android device with a stylus, so I would like to use that instead of the mouse of my PC.

The world needs some cross between Processing, HTML, and Google Docs.

Processing: A programming environment with lots of helpful libraries
HTML: a simple display model that can be viewed everywhere
Docs: an underlying sharing mechanism

There are just too many core problems that need to be solved over and over by each app. It's more than just getting the right library as there are services involved.

Surely someone has taken a crack at this?

Please, don't ever let you company adopt Netskope. I'm constantly running into websites wrongly categorized and getting warnings about if I want to proceed.

Plus, they hijack the TLS certificates which makes software development a hell. You need to manually config each of your CLI tools to trust a special set of "Netskope certificates" to have the chain work.

I wonder how many projects end up shooting themselves in the foot when using an ORM because they fail to resist the temptation to let the ORM objects leak into their API?

I worked on one project that had to make DB schema changes every time they changed their API because of this. It made it very difficult to maintain compatibility across updates without complicating their schema, too.

What cool top-level domain do you think is appropriate to use for a personal website and as email domain?

It is not a blog, just a website listing some of my projects and career. In other words, to replace https://cub3.net with something easier to spell.

Today I just discovered ".digital" is a thing, but of course "sergi.digital" is already snatched, probably by some domain speculator.

I broke my blog and CSS is not loading. Still, the website is fully usable and nice to read and navigate. I feel proud.

After a bit of playing with #FastAPI, I feel like it's really, well, API-oriented. You can have templating of course, but it's just a liiiittle clumsier than returning JSON (e. g., you need to manually inject the request into it).

So I'm not entirely sure if I should stick to my original plan of mostly rendering HTML and using #htmx, or if I should go with the framework flow and make a #Vue app. Probably the latter TBH.

This is a good talk on #htmx by Martijn Dashorst if you need more examples/exposure. Plucked one of my favorite slides from the talk below (make sure to follow the slide link as well -- so great -- to Roy Fielding's original talk).

"It is also expressed in what I think is best summarized as "Industry Fomo". Developers know full well that using next.js to create a relatively simple website is overkill, inappropriate at best, but they see themselves required to use industry-grade technology because job requirements are not listing skills anymore, instead they are listing tools and frameworks."

@Amy_Hupe It's wild how often I come back to your burnout talk, and how I didn't even know it was a talk I needed until you gave it. THANK YOU!

Hey fediverse, where can I find good pixel art wallpapers? I'm ok with dropping a few bucks for them.

I have a NAS that I use to backup my devices. Now I want to periodically backup that NAS to some cloud storage.

There would be many uploads and very rarely (hopefully never) downloads. So uploads and storage should be cheap, but it's OK if downloads are expensive.

What software and host/cloud providers do you folks recommend? I want to encrypt the data before uploading.

Well, the #SpiderOak client got confused with syncing a directory with caps with another with no caps, and I lost all the PDFs I had been saving for filing my taxes.

I've heard others complain how the software has not been updated in years, and it's obvious checking their website that they don't care for non-business users anymore.

Time to look for a better #backup alternative. Any recommendations?
