They have written their own UI framework. Probably the reason they are biased against other frameworks
anthropodie··on Don't use your phone while you poop
> there's probably microscopic fecal particles on every surface in there. And there's no way your phone is making it out unscathed.

Precisely the reason I stopped using phone in the toilet.

anthropodie··on Jellyfin as a Spotify alternative
>Self-hosting stuff is awesome if you have the skills.

>I have been on a mission for the last 2 years to replace as many subscriptions as possible with self-hosted solutions.

I have been doing the same for quite some time now but it's only recently I realized all these subscriptions services are just making rich richer. We should encourage self hosting as much as possible. I mean why should we pay huge corporations more money just for storage?

anthropodie··on Earth's clouds are shrinking, boosting global warming
Humanity has tendency to do things wrong and then decades later realize that what we were doing was awful to the planet.
anthropodie··on Earth's clouds are shrinking, boosting global warming
Do you mean my dog or other animals are responsible for this? Humans are the only species that are capable of modifying the environment.
anthropodie··on Earth's clouds are shrinking, boosting global warming
I don't necessarily agree with GP's comment but they do have a valid point.

> We could solve this problem in a few years with technology if we really wanted to.

Everybody wants to solve the problem with technology. What if, the solution is just plain old hard work like planting trees, conservation, better recycling, better laws that help in saving ecosystem. But who would do that. So let's keep on creating problems with technology and then solve them with more technology.

anthropodie··on Quadlet: Running Podman containers under systemd
To be fair podlet functionalities don't require constant updates which is not true in case of podman compose.

Podlet is a helper. In the long run its better to work with quadlets.

anthropodie··on Show HN: LinkedIn sucks, so I built a better one
Thank you this makes it so much better!
anthropodie··on The Frontend Treadmill
I build simple applications for personal use like issue tracker, day planner, etc,. By default if you ask Claude it will generate React for frontend but I ask it to use HTML/CSS/JS instead. Because as a backend developer that makes sense to me. I find it hard to read the react code and want to avoid having dependency on npm.

It's surprising how well the core technology works without fancy front end frameworks. Claude does most of the grunt work related to CSS/JS allowing me to focus on more interesting things. I only have to do few minor changes here and there which I am happy to do.

> causes me to frequently invert pairs of letters when typing fast

I am a Dvorak user and this happens to me too. I thought it happens when I'm stressed out.

anthropodie··on Launching RDAP; sunsetting WHOIS
It's crazy how many people just read the headline and choose to comment or upvote these links.

Also, why the title is not same as the article? It makes no sense.

anthropodie··on Leave It to Manus
Manus = माणुस in Marathi which means Man
anthropodie··on 20 years working on the same software product
Didn't realise you were OP!
anthropodie··on 20 years working on the same software product
You mentioned you have been developing Indie products since 2005 in your about section. Can I read about this somewhere?
anthropodie··on One year after switching from Java to Go
> Then you don't have to spend time messing around with things like OAuth and authentication, you can just write the application.

It sounds good but in reality people end up spending time messing around with config files and annotations.

anthropodie··on One year after switching from Java to Go
> It’s breaking free from the heavyweight framework ecosystem that the JVM all but forces on you.

> No config files, no annotation magic, just composition, testability, and code small enough to hold in your head.

This. When I look at code I should just be able to follow it and know what's happening. The whole annotation magic and config files makes it hard to understand the flow of things.

Search for podlet. It lets you do what you want.
anthropodie··on Ask HN: Spending Tracking Tools
I am using actual budget (which is free and open source) for this exact use case. It won't notify you but it has dashboard that can show you how you are spending

anthropodie··on A story on home server security
Podman supports kubernetes YAML or the quadlets option. It's fairly easy to convert docker-compose to one of these.

Nowaday I just ask genAI to convert docker-compose to one of the above options and it almost always works.

And this was one of the reason why I switched to Podman. I haven't looked back since.

anthropodie··on Show HN: A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins
> I think ipv4 is way more manageable.

That's because it's familiar and comfortable. Once you get hang of IPv6 you dislike the idea of fiddling with numbers as protocol takes care of most of things.

If your router does not support ULA configuration like in my case you can make a device like raspberry pi to advertise ULA. You can refer this thread for that configuration https://www.reddit.com/r/ipv6/comments/1af0r2v/using_rpi_to_...

> Why have globally-routable IPv6 addresses if you're not going to use them?

Because globally routable addresses are not static. Your prefix may change.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Your link local or ULA is static address and can be used for DNS.

DNS server is advertised when prefix is advertised.
