Have you considered Orion? It has the sleekness of Safari (and based on WebKit) but gives you plug-ins from Chrome and Mozilla. I love it because it doesn’t have the non-native clunkiness of other browsers.

We need laws that make this illegal. I get it that they don’t want to support it for whatever reason, but electronic waste is already a big problem and you can’t convince me everyone is recycling their used electronics.
I mean, it can be fun to tinker regardless. I have a shitty Dell Inspiron from 2012 that I run Linux in CLI-only mode just for fun.
In fact it used to run my entire smart home, run long-running background tasks (like syncing huge files from an NFS share to Storj); hell at one point it was bringing in passive income as I rented out hard disk space.
I got downvoted for this? 😂
I looked over the links, and the ones listed for Google aren’t respected anymore (and haven’t been for a long time).
If you search for something specific using operators, Google will just ignore them and give you related (but irrelevant) results which is absolutely infuriating.
Instead of showing a low number of results it seems they’d rather try to be smarter than you just to show more results.
For me in a big city it’s the annoyance of always being a part of the crowd. My free time is the same as everyone else’s now so traffic is always terrible on my days off (weekends), stores are always packed before/after work. Even walking my dogs becomes annoying because every other dog in the neighborhood is outside too.
Thankfully I work from home so I try to get out and walk the dog during lunch; if I have any errand to run I can just take my lunch later when everyone else has gone back to the office.
The other hard part for me is the afternoons; they drag on endlesssly. As a night person waking up in the morning was just killer, but I’ve finally adapted after… 10 years.
I really can’t stand the Tesla sound, it’s the worst. I can’t quite put my finger on it but it’s both uncanny and grating. I’ll be in my apartment and suddenly there’s this high-pitched screaming of sorts; it doesn’t sound like the car is doing well.
I stopped using it 20 years ago and have never had a need for it since. It sucked then and it still sucks now; I’ve even installed it a couple times in a VM for fun but always ended up deleting it after a few hours. I really don’t understand why someone would choose to tolerate such low quality software even for the most basic of tasks.
“shaking my head my head”
I’ve configured 2FA with my bank using verification codes (can’t think of the proper name, it’s that Authy-/Google-style 2FA c. 2010) but then never utilizes it — it pretends that’s not set up and requests the SMS code. 🫠
This is what I specifically hate about building Docker images based on Debian. Half your Dockerfile
ends up mucking about with third-party repositories, verifying keys, etc.
I should be more clear: specifically I was rebuilding a Docker image based on Debian and needed Node.js for one build step, then Ruby for another as well as the final image.
In the Dockerfile
there were a ton of weird commands for simply installing Node.js and Ruby whereas on Alpine Linux I could simply install the needed versions from apk
. I understand it’s preferable to build these from scratch but in the case of Node.js I was looking to simply compile a bunch of assets then throw away the layer.
I could’ve spent a bunch of time figuring it out for Debian but I wanted a smaller image in the end anyway too.
It doesn’t help that most password managers kind of suck, you have to do a lot of manual work as a user sometimes.
I wish websites would start supporting Webauthn/FIDO2 sometime soon. I’m sick of SMS-based 2FA becoming more popular lately (like 10 years late).
I had to step away from it because packages are just too old.
I suppose what I could do is download a supported image (like OpenWRT) then get the image layout details from that in order to build my own image.
I know I’m going about it the hard way but it’s something I don’t mind learning.
I get the optimization issue for sure. Crystal is a language that exists but it just hasn’t gained enough popularity; it’s a compiled language that’s very close to Ruby syntax.
I do! I am self-taught but now have a great career going in it. My only complaint is that once you start requiring very specific gems, you’ll find a bunch of unmaintained stuff. Ruby was hyped up a lot in the beginning, kind of declined during the Node.js fad but is becoming a lot more stable and continues to show a ton of progress.
These days if you want to get your foot in the door you can find work upgrading Rails versions as a lot of companies seemed to have released apps a long time ago then lost track of time.
Realizing most of this sounds pretty negative but it’s a beautiful language that I love working in every day. The language is so flexible/usable that outsiders complain that it can encourage bad habits simply by being so maleable — my recommendation is to really know the difference between plain Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
I’m familiar with writing images, but I’d be crafting it myself since there’s no official one from Alpine Linux for the specific SoC.
I’m simply interested in running Alpine Linux on it.
I think the idea was to have a discussion.
