KitDuncan··on Keycloak: Open-source identity and access management
It works with Hasura out of the box, you just can't set the x-hasura-default-role jwt claim dynamically and thus it has to be hardcoded. I evaluated keycloak with Hasura for our company, but settled on writing my own SSO solution, since my experience wasn't as great as others are describing.
KitDuncan··on Moving Away from Gmail
Never once got spam on an email I didn't give out.
KitDuncan··on Technical reasons to choose FreeBSD over GNU/Linux
Void is a small project, but absolutely rock solid. It's BSD inspired and systemd free. I like it a lot.
KitDuncan··on Moving Away from Gmail
Of course. You can setup your IMAP mailbox on any device. You can even use your Gmail or Apple Mail Apps to set it up on your phone.
KitDuncan··on Moving Away from Gmail
mhm, are they good? I have my domains there, but never considered using them for my emails. are catchall emails possible?
KitDuncan··on Moving Away from Gmail
Just use a catchall and you have to do nothing.
KitDuncan··on About Musl
You can just use flatpacked Steam if you want to use Musl Void. There might be still a few issues, but that's not because of Musl, but because of the Flatpack version.
KitDuncan··on Norwegian Air to cancel 85% of flights and temporarily lay off 90% of staff
My fiancé is currently in Orlando and booked her flight back to Germany with Norwegian for March 24. Does that mean the flight is cancelled? She hasn't received any notification from them.
KitDuncan··on Shopify is giving its employees $1k to furnish their work-from-home setups
Same here. There were some refurbished Herman Millers for like 500€ here, so I opted for a new Steelcase Gesture. Don't regret it at all.
KitDuncan··on If nearly all Airbnb reviews are positive, does that make them meaningless?
Wouldn't a binary rating system work a lot better here? Either positive or negative + a comment, sounds like it would work way better.
KitDuncan··on Building a static serverless website using S3 and CloudFront
Static sites are faster, more secure and cheaper to host than Wordpress. Comes at the expense of user friendlyness.
KitDuncan··on Netflix Now Streaming AV1 on Android
I have watched Planet Earth in 4K (Real 4K not Netflix "4K"). on my new Home Cinema and it's the most beautiful digital content I have ever witnessed. Absolutely incredible.
KitDuncan··on Palindrome Day 20200202
happy birthday!
KitDuncan··on A vegan diet could affect your intelligence
Am on phone, so I don't want to type much, but it's a clickbaity headline, paired with a very weak and flawed study that makes it impossible to include literally anything.
KitDuncan··on A vegan diet could affect your intelligence
What a weak article and study. I am not familiar with BBCs content, but I would have expected it to be better quality.
KitDuncan··on Rocket League left behind on macOS and Linux due to DirectX 11 shift
Which makes it even weirder, they don't even allow releasing Linux versions on their store.
KitDuncan··on Rocket League left behind on macOS and Linux due to DirectX 11 shift
People forget MacOS, because it's even worse for gaming than Linux. (I game on Linux btw and am happy with it)
KitDuncan··on A Year with the Surface Go
I thought about doing exactly that! Down to using sway and a "proper" keyboard. Are you happy with the performance?
KitDuncan··on MirageJS: An API mocking library for frontend development
I always use this approach for my E2E tests. This way I test the backend as well as the frontend. Harder to setup properly though.
KitDuncan··on Best Linux Laptop in 2020?
If you can wait a couple of months, I'd wait to see what releases with the new Ryzen APUs. If not, I'd probably go with the XPS 13.
KitDuncan··on Ubuntu 19.10: It’s fast
I think I am doing something seriously wrong then. My 2015 XPS 13 only lasts a couple of hours.
KitDuncan··on PIA: Our Merger with Kape Technologies – Addressing Your Concerns
Can vouch for Mullvad. A happy customer for years. There customer service is great!
KitDuncan··on UK Met Office Climate Dashboard
Edgy
KitDuncan··on Firefox 70
Whether it is on Chrome, Firefox, Android or in my text editor, I'll always disable spell checking. I am also not a native english speaker and seeing those red underlines everywhere is just way too annoying for me.
KitDuncan··on Caddy Proposal: Permanently change all proprietary licensing to open source
> oh wow, this could work

Sounds like you should give it a shot...

KitDuncan··on A rise in vegetarian options leads customers to embrace meat-free meals
We just call that chili sin carne. I gave it to my non-vegan family and they couldn't tell the difference. It's a really great dish, quick to make (faster and easier than with meat), healthy, high in protein and tasty.

I really don't get what the issue is here? There are also great bean/nut/mushroom burgers, that don't intend to taste like meat burgers.

Why can't vegan dishes use the same form factor as non-veg dishes? Does everything just have to be a bland plate of veggies for us?

KitDuncan··on A rise in vegetarian options leads customers to embrace meat-free meals
The livestock industry invests billions of dollars into heavily biased studies and lately I feel like you hear a lot more about health benefits of Keto than Veganism...

I think in general there is a lot less profit to be made with Veganism, it would surprise me if there was a stronger propaganda campaign then the one from the livestock industry.

KitDuncan··on A rise in vegetarian options leads customers to embrace meat-free meals
You have no idea what you are talking about. Those are anecdotes and it sounds like you're biased.

There are plenty of athletes on a vegan diet. Sure we take B12, but plenty of omnivores are deficient as well. The only reason you get more of that is because it's supplemented to livestock.

My blood tests came back absolutely stellar and I eat whatever I want most days. When it comes to sports, I can easily compete with my omnivore friends.

KitDuncan··on Android 10
Wait, Android has native SIP support? How did I not know about this?
KitDuncan··on Psytrance Guide
I loved that people on psytrance festivals seemed to eat more vegan food than average. Such a breath of fresh air to not see everyone stuffing their faces with meat 24/7
