Ah, the author is Kev Quirk! I really enjoyed his SimpleCSS project: https://github.com/kevquirk/simple.css

I also relate to this post: tried to make Firefox my default browser for years, but slowly Brave became my default browser over time due to its adblocking abilities and general speed.

That said, Brave is a bit of a UI mess out of the box, with too many of their unnecessary "features" like their wallet and crypto BAT stuff being shoved at the user.

I think they're slowly realizing that their user base just wants a straightforward adblocking privacy browser though. They released "Brave Origin" recently, which is a paid app on some platforms, but at least cuts out of all the unnecessary baggage.

I'd be interesting it an Android app version (or heck, even a web UI or progressive web app!).

This support article gives more details here, even though it's still clear as mud that they are dropping support for custom domains _unless_ that domain is hosted via Google Workspaces:

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/17101213

Even more confusing, you _will_ be able to still send to a custom domain via the Gmail mobile app? This appears to be an anti-spam move I guess? Though personally, this is a big breakage for me...

> I love my Apple Watch. Alerts mean I don’t look at my phone which means I don’t unlock it and get sidetracked.

I've noticed and interesting social shift in recent years: friends who get distracted mid-sentence by an Apple Watch notification, pause the conversation to check the alert, and then continue the conversation afterwards without realizing they had paused/were momentarily not present. It's fascinating because these people will not realize they were momentarily sidetracked, and remain convinced a watch keeps them more present than their hone.

There's a term waiting to be coined for this concept, but I'm not clever enough to come up with one...

Former Windows 11 user here. Microsoft operating systems have been my primary desktop since DOS 6.0, but the embedding of advertisements in Win11 drove to me finally try out Linux distributions, and CachyOS was the only one that stuck for me in terms of familiarity and performance. It's been my daily driver for 1.5 years now, and I've been extremely grateful for it.

Would you mind explaining what this looks like practice? Fellow ADHDer here!

I'm saying this in complete humor... but your comment reminds me of the infamous Dropbox annoucement comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863

Oh man, I've come across this person's blog before and I love it, not just because of the personalization/personality they've put into the site's design, but because of all of the random CLI/TUI-based tools they've developed. Examples:

- https://xn--gckvb8fzb.com/projects/

Their github repos:

- https://github.com/mrusme

They even built a BBS-style reader client that supports Hacker News:

I miss the days of the web being weird like this :-)

Ugh, can't believe they made this opt-in by default, and didn't even post the direct URLs to disable in their blog post.

To add on to your (already helpful!) instructions:

- Go to https://github.com/settings/copilot/features - Go to the "Privacy" section - Find: "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training" - Set to disabled

Hi! Thanks for offering an AMA here. I don't have a specific question, but I am interested in hearing about the general story of what it was like developing Docker, what the experience was like trying to build a business around it, and what you're up to these days in post-Docker life. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for being receptive to the feedback :-) I actually checked out your demo now because it didn't require a login, and was impressed by what I saw. Nice work here!

I haven't benchmarked anything other than the initial tests with Geekbench. That said, it subjectively felt "snappier"/faster in terms of UI speed with KDE Plasma than Kubuntu. I've been a happy CachyOS user since.

Interested Canadian here! Don't see your email on your profile, mind sharing a link as a reply here? Thanks!

+1 to that. As a user, I am tired of having to sign up for an account on a SaaS website or installing an app from Github, only to realize the UI isn't a good fit for me. This will usually result in me bouncing from the app website instead of trying it out.

Suggestion: have a non-login demo available on your website, and high-res screenshots/animed gif of the app in action on your Github repo.

> Do CachyOS optimizations actually make any difference whatsoever? I know they enable certain optimization flags whenever building software, but that doesn't directly equate to performance improvements unless you're actually benchmarking and testing it.

I switched from Windows 11 to Kubuntu a year ago, and then gave CachyOS a shot after hearing praise for it. I'm on a laptop with an AMD iGPU, and CachyOS's `znver4` optimized repos gave a significant bump on my Geekbench results:

(Note: these results are from almost a year ago though)

Lenovo Thinkpad P14s Gen4 AMD

- Windows 11: 2366 Single-Core Score, 10717 Multi-Core Score

- Kubuntu: 2496 Single-Core Score, 9878 Multi-Core Score

- CachyOS: 2569 Single-Core Score, 11563 Multi-Core Score

Repeat tests were essentially the same (Win11 23xx/107xx, Kubuntu 24xx/98xx, Cachy 25xx/115xx)

> This all started by trying to build an alt-protocol like Gemini or Gopher as a minimal writing and publishing experience.

I took the briefest of looks at the Gopher/Gemini/alt-publishing scene and found it interesting (though I went no further than surface level research). I'd be interested in hearing more about where this experimentation took you!

I love this idea. There are so many use-cases where friends or clients need a simple interface for building a quick wiki-style documentation site. I've often suggested static site generators desktop apps like Publii to them before, but even that can be a bit on the heavy-side in terms of their requirements.

First feature request: auto light/dark theme adjustment.

First bug report: when I tried adding authentication to a test site, I received this error:

  Failed to enable protection: Failed to execute 'atob' on 'Window': The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded.

Keep up the good work!

Nice! Dr. Horrible would be proud of this geeky tribute:

I have to agree... the linked Github files look like pretty generic config structures you'd find in projects, regardless of the tool or specification.

For the last month or so, the AUR package repositories for Arch Linux have been the target of DDoS attacks. Today, the repos are down again.

I think you should re-read the OP's original link again. Aether is not just an SSG, and its admin interface provides a CMS interface.

And I'm afraid your definition of a CMS is your own, and not the consensus. A CMS doesn't need to consume external sources, it can be self contained content.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system

I'm confused why you wouldn't consider this (or vanilla Wordpress) a CMS? Are not both of these products, um, content management systems?

Grav isn't a static site generator though like this project is, and requires PHP I believe?

I remember seeing a ShowHN a few years back for an app/company that made synced your Discord server with a publicly-searchable/SEO crawlable website... I wonder how they're doing:

As a non-Nix user, could you give me an example?

Agreed, I've only played FF7 Remake (which I'd waited patiently for years while it was being developed), and just did not enjoy playing the game. It felt like it 20 hour game stretched out to 70 hours with repetitive fetch quests. It lacked the charm and fun of the original, and it sounds like this Clair Obscur game has learnt from this experience.

And thank you again for being so receptive to feedback!

Looking good so far! Now it just needs localhost-without-SSH enabled by default (so that as a new user I test out nerdlog immediately without having to think about which server to connect it to), and your initial onboarding/out-of-the-box experience will be ready for a very wide audience! :-)

My role is classified as DevOps consulting, working for several different companies, each with their own unique setup and teams... but yeah, it's basically glorified sysadmin work ;-). On the plus side though, I get to see the realities of internal company tech stacks, and that the default settings often are chosen over better solutions.

Thanks again for considering journald, and at the same time, don't forget that it's your project at the end of the day... you can always disregard feature requests if it's not a direction you want to head in. Though in this case, I do believe journald support would get your tool more traction with a larger audience in the long term.

I have no doubt that journald is slower, and I have no real preference for it. The request for journald support goes back to it being the default on most distros these days. I have to interact with a variety of different servers in different environments, most of which are not managed by myself, and hence I have to interact with was previously setup... which is usually the default config provided by the distro.
