I have already lost hope for Apple. I'm just hoping they don't make things worse and just keep the quality as is but this seems optimistic too. Maybe in 5 years, Linux gets bit better when Mac is finally crap as a whole.

Umm, no... The OS can detect the free space to decide whether it's a go or not and it still borked.

Back then, upgrading meant something for the users, like QuickLook, TimeMachine or for the first time in life I saw a new OS actually take less disk space and was released primarily as optimization of the previous release as in Snow Leopard.

Now I don't bother to watch their keynotes as they're too boring and I'm productive on High Sierra and I don't see any reason I should upgrade and cause unnecessary annoyance. How boring Apple software have become.

Is there a reason to upgrade these days? I don't need SideCar as I connect my laptop to a bigger display.

Someone needs to end the Photoshop monopoly. It's annoying I can't switch to alternatives or think about using Linux.
h1d··on Ask HN: What do you self-host?
Is IPSec VPN a IKEv2 on either LibreSwan or StrongSwan connected to FreeRadius for authentication? What are the clients you connect from? Is it stable?
h1d··on Ask HN: What do you self-host?
It felt like I opened a 1999 thread.
h1d··on Ask HN: What do you self-host?
Just an advice but I suggest you host publicly facing services and privately hosted services on different instances.

You don't want less tested web app to expose some security hole for someone to start snooping on your traffic toward BitWarden after SSL termination.

If you don't want an extra box at home, you can always get a $5/mo cloud instance for public stuff, where you don't have to worry about increased electricity bill from DDoS having CPU spiked or choking your home network.

h1d··on Larry Wall has approved renaming Perl 6 to Raku
Seems you've never used shell scripting.
h1d··on Bitwarden: Free, open-source password manager
Seems stable and small footprint for me too. Kudos to the porter.

It felt like a hidden cost to run the official server as I had to upgrade my server instance for an extra $5/mo.

h1d··on Realtime Tokyo 3D train map using open API
You're wrong on multiple points in a single line.

Green line is Yamanote line and neither Yamanote nor Chuo line are that late unless some serious accidents occur. If you mean by, 1-3m then, I guess you're within a reasonable claim.

h1d··on SQL queries don't start with SELECT
For MySQL, run the command with

--safe-updates

to avoid queries running without WHERE clause.

h1d··on Why is hi-tech Japan using cassette tapes and faxes? (2015)
Yeah but data aggregation and accounting aren't linked.
h1d··on Why Japan lost its comparative advantage in producing electronic parts
Yet they had bullet train quite before that.

Please also add your experience related to Japan.
h1d··on Show HN: Ansible Crash Course
Absolutely no to videos. Can't easily tell what's where when I want to jump to a certain section, no result from web search for the contents and can't even copy paste any examples.

It's like keep watching TV for news to find the tiny bit that you might care about. Much waste of time.

h1d··on How come PHP seems so much faster than Rust?
It's more like, would someone else be able to maintain the code I write with language X? And would the person trying to run it be able to run in their environment without fiddling with SSH access?

If it's just me writing and deploying I use TypeScript but otherwise I tend to use PHP.

h1d··on Ask HN: PostgreSQL or MySQL?
I'd say, use MySQL 8 unless you have a particular reason not to. You get more resource online when you search around and toolings are better and those are as important as features to many and I doubt MySQL 8 lacks much for most people's use cases.
h1d··on Ask HN: PostgreSQL or MySQL?
It may have a good doc but searchability on the internet is still miles behind MySQL and that actually counts more on daily search for answers.

Also I sometimes don't know if I should search with psql or pgsql or postgres or postgresql and I tend to type shorter ones but mysql is quite obvious on that.

h1d··on Neovim v0.4.0
I don't see there's a reason to use vim locally as other editors are far advanced when vim isn't changing at all. But there's a use on the server side because you only have vim or emacs there.
h1d··on Neovim v0.4.0
For server side config file editing. There are plenty of editors to choose from for local GUI environment but not so inside SSH session.
h1d··on Parallelism in Crystal
Do you use much external libraries because ecosystem I'd pretty much what makes a language useful after the language being solid by itself.

Also, I assume Googleability is pretty much close to zero, you'd have to go to the primary sites (their forum?) to ask questions when stuck?

h1d··on Emacs 26.3
I treat emacs as the only alternative to vim on the server. On your own GUI machine there are plenty of alternatives.

Do people recommend the use of emacs over vim on servers? (Mainly editing server config files and reading long logs) Any good plugins to enhance its use for this use case?

I have pretty much ignored emacs for the last 15 years when I felt it didn't act as snappy as vim.

h1d··on Emacs 26.3
Any benefit over using screen/tmux?
h1d··on Show HN: CLI tool for saving web pages as a single file
Is there a CLI version of it?
h1d··on Airframe – Open-Source Dashboard Template
Can we stop with "Loading, please wait" screen? This isn't some game that needs to load 3D environment and sites loaded faster 15 years ago that had similar functionality but why are we going backwards after so long?

One page trapped all the swipe gesture to move the cards around I couldn't even scroll back to top to get back to the side menu.

h1d··on Maybe We Should Stop Creating Inscrutable CLIs
The posix decision is quite dumb. You can't possibly read scripts well with bunch of single letter options. Codes are supposed to be readable.
h1d··on Maybe We Should Stop Creating Inscrutable CLIs
And then some tools use a sub command instead of just being the obvious '-v' but 'version'.
h1d··on Maybe We Should Stop Creating Inscrutable CLIs
It's sad when I found out FreeBSD lacks many of the long options I thought was quite obvious.

mkdir --parents

doesn't work in FreeBSD.

h1d··on Open letter from an Android developer to the Google Play team
Google thinks they're the smart bunch and the customers are there to serve them. It's just company attitude.
h1d··on YAML: Probably not so great after all
Reminds me of Stylus over CSS.
