I don't know about TST, but sidebery can alter your window title when it's active, so you can match css rules against it.

    #main-window[titlepreface*="Sidebery"] #TabsToolbar {
      visibility: collapse !important;
    }
rmurri··on Dragonfly Is Production Ready (and we raised $21M)
From the web page: Dragonfly is an in-memory data store built for modern application workloads. It is fully compatible with the Redis and Memcached APIs, required no code changes to adopt

What settings and repo are you using for GTX 1050 with 2GB?
rmurri··on How Not to Support Desktop GNU+Linux, Zoom Edition
This explained pipewire pretty well to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxEXMHcwtlI

The short answer is that pipewire reimplements pulseaudio and jack, keeping compatability with both at the same time.

rmurri··on Ask HN: What are you going to use instead of Docker Desktop for macOS?
I've been using multipass for a couple months. It's been working well for my use case.

Here are a couple links I found about it: * https://www.cnbeining.com/2021/09/using-docker-and-docker-co... * https://gist.github.com/pmbaumgartner/b08a34f73afcd9b29227a4...

I also recently found out about colima, but haven't tried it out. * https://github.com/abiosoft/colima

rmurri··on Ask HN: Do you feel more productive with an IDE compared to Vim/Emacs?
Yes and No. They are not mutually exclusive.

I find that generally I'm much more productive in Emacs, so I use it most of the time. But I reach for the IDE when it makes sense.

rmurri··on Why are so many coders still using Vim and Emacs?
It's not merely nostalgia or availability. I continue to use emacs because it has the features that I want, where other software does not.

Some things I want out of an editor:

* Never having to touch the mouse in any way.

* The ability to customize any feature for my current project or mindset on a whim.

* No UI, as much as possible. Show me the content I'm editing and nothing else.

* A good, extensible, set of keybindings with a bunch of features for editing of raw text

I run my project in an IDE and will sometimes use a feature, but I generally don't develop there.

rmurri··on Ask HN: What password manager do you use?
I'm another happy enpass user. They are also having a 30% sale on their lifetime plan right now. Works on Windows/Mac/Linux/Mobile.
rmurri··on Why is infrastructure as code such a big deal?
Reproducibility and peace of mind! There's nothing worse that getting woken up at 3:30 AM and realizing that it'll probably take a few hours to rebuild a server because it's dead and not coming back.

When infrastructure is code, you just spin up a new machine...no thinking involved. Also, since you're used to deploying this way, the process is smooth and as quick possible.

When you build the server by hand...you're often searching around for old ssl certificates, installing packages you forgot were dependencies, etc. Takes a long time to get it right.

If you're skeptical of the cost/benefit of the approach, you realize really quick that it's worthwhile when stuff starts to fail. Especially if it happens more than once.

rmurri··on Ask HN: Productive Alternatives to Slack?
Zulip is another option. https://zulipchat.com/
rmurri··on Ask HN: What is the best setup to work remotely with GUI on Linux?
They also have good support for different screen sizes, and multi monitor differences between machines.
rmurri··on Ask HN: How do you manage password security?
What exactly is shady about the security audit? Are you referring to the audit linked below?

rmurri··on Ask HN: How do you manage password security?
Check out enpass. Small, one time payment per platform. (Free for certain usage). It is a native client that supports sync. It also works well cross-platform, including linux. The mobile clients are also good.

rmurri··on The advantages of an email-driven Git workflow
I don't think the intent is to do code review from email. The idea would be to send the merge request through email, which is then imported into your local git as a branch. Then you're able to do review/analysis/etc with whichever git tooling you prefer.
rmurri··on Lockbox – A stand-alone password manager that works with Firefox for desktop
Try enpass. Easy to use, good sync, cross platform (including linux).

rmurri··on How to Write Dockerfiles for Python Web Apps
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't just running a container with --init also reap zombie processes generically?
rmurri··on Ask HN: Would you recommend someone to learn Emacs now?
Yes and no. I generally don't recommend emacs to everybody by default because I've come to realize it's not what everybody wants. Until people want to have a powerful, customizable editor I recommend something pretty and user friendly. Perhaps sublime text, where they can ease into being productive.

That said, I do definitely recommend it to people on a case by case basis (Power users, command line gurus, mouse haters, etc). Those who make it over the initial learning hump tend to really love it.

rmurri··on Plain emails not only save time but work better (2016)
Not necessarily the full story. I have set my preference to text email over html email in one client that I use. This is at least one example of a client making the decision before opening the email.
rmurri··on Sublime Text 3 now has font ligature support
Magit user here.

I am both comfortable with git on the command line and through emacs. I prefer magit mostly because of its contextual support. With the command line, each command can derive no context from the last command. With magit, it's easy to drill in and see more relevant data (or edit that data) quicker and easier.

Just wanted to point out that not everybody is merely looking for an easier experience, or one that looks prettier.

rmurri··on Ask HN: Why Haven't GUI Front End Editors Caught On?
I used to really love the idea of GUI front end editors. I tried to use a few different ones for building different apps. They worked great for static UIs. What I learned is that I never actually build static UIs, and I was spending tons of time on the GUI. I dumped each when I realized that building from code was far more productive.
rmurri··on Ask HN: Which password manager do you use and Why?
Enpass. Cross-platform, good mobile support, can be used by my less techie family.
