KitDuncan··on Netgear Firmware Requires Online Registration

I am also in the market for a docsis 3.1 modem. What are you going for?

KitDuncan··on Tim Sweeney on Apple and Google

I understand not actively supporting it, but why hate or actively try to work against it?

KitDuncan··on Tim Sweeney on Apple and Google

Microsoft is apparently not one of the monopolies he wants stopped, because he is incredibly hostile towards Linux and Linux support for games. I can't stand this dude and his ramblings.

KitDuncan··on Alacritty v0.5

Why does that make him an ass? It's his project, he can do whatever he likes with it.

KitDuncan··on When your coworker does great work, tell their manager

Just in general say thank you more often. It helps a lot with team morale.

KitDuncan··on Riot is now Element

Using another instance makes sense, since the official matrix.org instance is super slow and overloaded...

KitDuncan··on H.266/Versatile Video Coding (VVC)

Can we all just agree on using AV1 instead of another patent encumbered format?

KitDuncan··on Show HN: Ward – Minimalistic Server Dashboard

I tried to render a couple hundred thousand datapoints with Chart.js and it froze my browser. Will v3 make a meaningful difference? Don't get me wrong, I love chart.js. It's a great library.

KitDuncan··on Prisma Raises $12M Series A

Also Hasura.

KitDuncan··on Curl Wttr.in

Oops, don't know how I missed that. Sorry!

KitDuncan··on Curl Wttr.in

Has nobody mentioned, that this is just wego as a service?

KitDuncan··on Emissions from 13 dairy firms match those of entire UK

Or just stop consuming dairy, since it's entirely unnecessary.

KitDuncan··on Show HN: Jqview, a simple native GUI for inspecting JSON with jq

fzf is so amazing. it basically replaced filemanagers completely for me.

KitDuncan··on Signal app downloads spike as US protesters seek message encryption

Telegram desktop is great and Matrix desktop apps are definitely getting there.

KitDuncan··on Show HN: `fzf` * `Git` done right

Use webm instead of gifs.

KitDuncan··on Making Vue 3

I used Vue 2 for my biggest project so far, but switched to Svelte and Sapper for my current ones and I love it. Excited to give Vue 3 a spin though.

KitDuncan··on A PostCSS plugin for people who prefer to write English properly

Should be obvious, especially with `padding-ton`

KitDuncan··on Kiss Linux – A distribution with a focus on less is more

Also Void and xbps.

KitDuncan··on People who use BSD as their desktop os, why do you choose BSD over Linux?

For me Void Linux hits the sweet spot, between BSD philosophy and Linux compatibility. Really enjoyable desktop distro.

KitDuncan··on Markdown Tutorial

Plain HTML is super verbose for basic text formatting. Having to wrap every paragraph is super annoying UX.

KitDuncan··on Deno 1.0

I think I'll use it for personal system scripts, as JS is the language I am most comfortable in.

KitDuncan··on Announcing TypeScript 3.9

ReasonML is the one with the biggest support behind it. It's your best bet.

KitDuncan··on Microsoft Surface Go 2 review

https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supporte...

Wifi should work out of the box.

KitDuncan··on Making Emacs Popular Again

Sorry I don't use emacs, but Vim/Neovim is pretty easy to setup with coc and all it's subextensions for stuff like eslint, tailwind, vue and whatever. It's essentially just the VSCode language server running in Vim and it's awesome.

KitDuncan··on CSS for Internationalisation

Ah good to know. I don't use CSS frameworks (except Tailwind recently), but that sounds handy.

KitDuncan··on Show HN: Kanmail – An email client that functions like a kanban board

If it has dark mode and good Linux support, I'll buy it. Will try out tomorrow.

KitDuncan··on CSS for Internationalisation

I have used a hack for this for years. And it seems to be very unknown.

If you want an element to have the aspect ratio 16:9 give it a parent div with width: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.25%; position: relative;

then just absolutely position the child element with width 100%; height:100%;

This works everywhere, even in IE8. I am happy I will not have to resort to this anymore in the future, but it will do for now.

KitDuncan··on AMD’s Mobile Revival: Redefining the Notebook Business with the Ryzen 9 4900HS

Oh even better, the Surface Book. I much prefer that form factor over traditional ones.

KitDuncan··on Show HN: Create apps from GraphQL APIs without writing code

Tailwind isn't really recognizable at all, since it doesn't ship with any components/style like Bootstrap. It is however such a pleasant way to write code, I'll never go back to regular CSS.

KitDuncan··on Keycloak: Open-source identity and access management

Keycloak is basically the entire Ory ecosystem rolled into one big software, along with a management interface and login.

Ory Hydra only deploys a openid connect provider on top of whatever authentication you want to use. Ory Krato is their new auth system, but still in very early stages.
