dragnet , 1 month ago to reddit in Old reddit has removed the login fields

Reddit is terrible as a website. But it still has the communities that developed there over years, and they are an invaluable resource. They are definitely positioning themselves to pull a Digg, but until the Reddit-killer comes along with a mass exodus (and it doesn’t look like it’s gonna be Lemmy unfortunately) access to those communities will entail dealing with reddit.

dragnet , 1 month ago to selfhosted in Introducing selfh.st/companions, a Directory of Companion Apps for Self-Hosted Software

On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, if there hasn’t been even a tiny bug fix or feature update in that long it calls into question (at least for me) whether when there is inevitably a breaking change, security issue with a library, whatever - that it will be addressed. If I don’t have some level of confidence in that, I’d rather not rely on the tool.

This kind of concern could be handled by contacting the developer or engaging with the community around the tool to see what the project status is, and why it isn’t being updated.

And its backed by the Linux Foundation! So it can survive things like Hashicorp’s silly attempt to claim copyright infringement.

dragnet , 2 months ago to selfhosted in Which of these VPS providers would you recommend?

I’ve used Hetzner for years without issue. Accessed through VPNs to the control panel without problems, changed password no issue, etc. I’ve never heard of them being “known for” the behavior you describe. This is just anecdote vs anecdote, though. I’d be interested to see some kinda evidence of what you’re saying.

On Linux KVM is what people use for this. Not an option in VirtualBox.

dragnet , 3 months ago to linux in VM suggestion for gaming?

VM detection that I’ve run into is not that hard to bypass, but it does subjectively seem to result in a less performant VM (haven’t ran any tests to verify).

dragnet , 4 months ago to linux in which linux phone is the most promising?

Almost everything you said here is false, with the exception of controversy over the developer. However, GrapeheneOS is far from a single developer project, and the former lead stepped down a little while ago.

dragnet , 4 months ago to linux in which linux phone is the most promising?

I have a 6a, which I tolerate for GrapheneOS. The battery life is absolutely terrible.

dragnet , 4 months ago to programmerhumor in This is painfully true

If your company is implementing an app that is basically a toggle switch or power button, it’ll probably look like the first one. If your company is implementing an internal search engine, it’ll probably look like the second one. If anybody is implementing a data entry system meant to be used by trained individuals at a workstation, its gonna look like option three. You might as well complain about a CNC mill being more complicated than a screwdriver, they’re different tools.

This is one of the first things addressed in the lecture.

dragnet , 5 months ago to technology in Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing

Once they are cheaper and more durable I’ll buy one. Its still a new form factor that hasn’t been perfected yet, but that doesn’t mean its wrong for manufacturers to keep at it

They could have a partnership with xfinity to use all those “open” WiFi networks, for one. Or some other sneaky way of sending data.

Works fine, I have two smart TVs I did that to.

Just convenience in the form of focusing on a user-friendly out of the box experience, really. That’s enough for me to use it over Debian on desktop, though I like Debian for servers.

dragnet , 7 months ago to android in Google Maps widely rolling out new color palette

It would be nice if they fixed their app so that when I set it to always dark mode, it actually stays in always dark mode. I don’t have much faith in UI improvements when that bug has plagued me for literally years, across Android versions and devices. But now the colors that suddenly blind me when it changes from dark to light will be different, yay?
