Okay, I'm a tech nerd I admit it, but for my personal authentication life I find passkeys to make sense.

All my passwords and SSH key are already in Bitwarden. When a site starts supporting passkeys, I add that to Bitwarden as well. Now, instead of logging in by auto-filling my username and password, I just press the passkey login button (that hopefully exists) and click on the Bitwarden popup to select the account. It's less button presses for me, and I cannot be phished, nor can my passkeys be leaked on the dark web. All thanks to some fancy cryptography.

Okay, sure, if someone steals my Bitwarden vault by snatching my laptop while it's unlocked or something, I end up pretty screwed. That security aspect did not change, so I still use TOTP for all important services.

Also, I've made one invite-only web app where single-use invite codes and passkeys are the only ways to log in. It was not too hard, it was fun, actually. And I get the peace of mind that account sharing is pretty much impossible were a bad actor able to get their hands on an invite, as is hacking other people's accounts.

(Okay, I concede that I've had to help multiple people who find passkeys confusing as a result of this whimsical decision, and that it just might be that nobody is using my web app for real. So I'm just speaking from nerd privilege here... But it works well, trust me!!)

I used this blog post as one learning resource while building my own NAS a while back: https://xyny.art/blog/2026-building-nas/

Building a NAS from scratch is really fun! A small hinderance, but definitely part of the fun as well, is the lack of a "complete resource" on the topic covering how to do every single thing you need to do. Part of the point of my blog post is actually to bring to the internet yet another opinionated NAS setup "guide" (eventhough I would hesitate to call it a guide, but if I ever had to do the same thing again I would definitely read my own post first).

The password for my TimeLimit (to prevent phone addiction a little bit while still being able to cheat quickly ex. to use a browser) is ",,," because it's a good balance between easy to remember but annoying enough to type on a phone I have to put some intention into it. And sometimes,,.. I just take a totally ungrammatical and weird looking thinking break while formulating a difficult thought in casual conversation.

I tried it for family location sharing a few months back and, I don't remember exactly, but I remember the UI/UX feeling a bit slow/clunky in general, eventhough setting things up was user-friendly. Definitely potential there, though.

I have set up Owntracks with a self-hosted server, and the android app reports my location to it periodically over MQTT. I would prefer to use https://dawarich.app/ but last time I tried it it was clearly very beta-quality and not ready for reliable usage.

Thumb-Key is awesome and I can't live without it. Clearflow sounds promising too, but I have to be able to write my,, repeated symbols and >:) smiley faces with the same speed and finesse as words (not having to thing about it at all).

If you didn't imbibe in your children that the only way to be a "man" is to be the jock on the football team, then maybe far less people would be suffering the dysphorias. Just like how exposure to Instagram causes body dysphoria in both young men and women.

From a queer perspective, I think this is what we really do want and support: raising children gender neutrally, free from role expectations that make them feel like specific kinds of toys or activities or clothes are or are not for them. Just letting people grow up to be whoever they are, etc. etc.

That being said, gender dysphoria especially does have biochemical component. Most men would feel horrible being on estrogen, most women would feel weird being on testosterone. That's true for both trans and cis people, not 100% of the time, but often. That's how they got Turing killed.

Instagram and unhealthy expectations is not really always dysphoria but rather dysmorphia. The difference really is more than a few letters. Dysmorphia is a disordered body image and obsession with flaws in yourself. Dysphoria is a persistent feeling of distress related to your physical gender characteristics and/or gendered social expectations.

Of course, where the lines blur is when people speak in memetic terms of male-to-Male transition: stuff like looksmaxxing, where dysmorphic body image stuff is mixed with toxic culture relating to the pursuit of high masculinity and acting tough in a certain way, to be more of a man, or something.

There's the rename-exe option in mise.toml to rename the docker compose binary to `docker-compose`. I've used it on some machine, I think. Look it up in the docs, it doesn't take long to wire up.

DICE is a great experience, but I hate that they have no option to buy tickets without installing and using their app. It should at least be possible from a website, come on...

Tried self-hosting it and importing passwords. UX was very good, but I had some understandable UI hiccoughs that made me not want to use it. The non-native Android app also felt pretty slow.

Very interesting. With the "virtual folders" feature, doesn't this also compete with Syncthing kind of? I have actually been looking for a solution like Syncthing, where I can write and cache files offline without actually having all the files in the full synced folder on every device (just my NAS). Kind of a hybrid between a remote filesystem mount and full-on folder sync.

Android Firefox versions that are geat as well - [Ironfox](https://github.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox): Hardened - [Fennec](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/): Fully FOSS

Try dragging a youtube video URL onto an MPV window. I believe that should use yt-dlp under the hood. Not that much privacy since they still get your IP and you have to browse for the videos somewhere else as well, but great for minimal ad-free playback. Haven't tried this in a while though, but last time I did it worked perfectly.

I am genuinely in the "target market" for a tool such as this, but having evaluated one previously I found the quality and self-hosting experience to be pretty bad, and that a proprietary freemium product was still a better experience.

I'm hesitant to even take a look at this project due to the whole "vibe coded in 3 weeks" thing, though. Hearing that says to me that this is not serious or battle-tested and might go unmaintained or such. Do you think these are valid concerns to have?

Yeah, somewhere where regular people that aren't terminally online won't ever have the chance to see it.

Honestly the first time I read this I thought you meant to say "will have the chance", because I don't know of any normal people that used Xitter in years. Most are now just on Instagram. Then again, my generation and geographical locatin might have something to do with that.

Unprofessional photograper, the camera is pretty old but serves me well enough.

I don't find Zed much worse for working with webtech either.

One thing I also care about is the storage space on my phone running out... Also, I haven't found any good RAW editing app on my phone yet, and I am not gonna jump through the hoops of taking the picture to my laptop and editing it there before just sharing some random snapshot of a day with someone.

But yes, I am a photograper and always take raw photos with my DSLR.

I looked at the brainrotty name[1] and instantly assumed AI slop, but I'm glad the website was upfront about that.

What I love in Open Camera is that I am able to turn off all extra post-processing (noise, yes please) and use my phone camera with full manual settings like it was a DSLR (with a really bad sensor). Only problems are clunky UI and general slowness of taking pictures, but you get used to it.

It's really unbeatable from a photographer / artist perspective, especially because I care a lot about imperfect gritty noisy looks and full control.

Gotta have someone over 18 click the button for you then I guess.

For me, bottom blocks stay still while those on the very top fall down.

You also get contactless payment on debit cards.

I use Linkding, and there is https://github.com/Fivefold/linkding-injector which does exactly what you described. I don't use it, though. Usually it brings up irrelevant results, and in the rare case that it would have brought up useful ones, the Firefox search bar history-based autocomplete got me there first.

Unless you own some obscure phone that is not supported by GOS, Calyx or Iode, but is by /e/... Not sure how many of those exist...

Based on the title I thought this was a personal call-out to me and others like me who obsessively bookmark/save links and yet seldom even glance at their collection.

winget ftw

How can it be more stable if it still uses NewpipeExtractor?

Can't seem to find any mentions of this online from over a week ago, not much commentary either, mostly stuff that smells like advertising / astroturfing. Hmm...

OPENRNDR is amazing and I love using it for generative art, especially installations, not so much for stuff to share on the web. I find the API is way more tuned to my programmer brain compared to Processing/p5.js. The only problems, I think, are:

- It's Kotlin/JVM. Looks pretty, is ergonomic to write in, runs everywhere. But also, I feel forever chained to IntelliJ and cant wrap my head around the build system at all.

- Small community. Searching for issues, tutorials, or anything of that sort doesn't yield that many results. Not a problem if you're self-sufficient enough, but might stop me from recommending it to a beginner. The development also seems kind of slow.
