Not calling it displaycer is a missed opportunity.

This looks nice!

I recently deployed my own Rallly instance (Doodle alternative) via docker-compose and would love to give dub.sh a try.

Any plans for releasing a docker version?

There‘s a „buy me a coffee“ link in the page footer!

That‘s at least the default behavior if not the only way to play video on iPhone‘s Safari. iPad Safari however supports non-fullscreen video playback.

> Now think it through. What happens if a wheel locks up? Right, it loses all stopping power.

That‘s not true. Going in a straight line, blocking wheels will stop you in less distance than with active ABS.

However ABS allows you to brake and go around an obstacle without losing control of your vehicle.

I feel like I have a fairly solid backup system for all of my important files. They are protected against elementary disasters and cyber attacks alike.

However the only thing I struggle with are my phone photos. I recently caved in and started using iCloud Photos due to the convenience of having all my phone photos alwas available, searchable and tagged, even if the library size exceeds my phone‘s capacity.

Does anyone know a reliable and automatable way to back up this iCloud photo library on a self hosted server?

They at least offer local network syncing, instead of requiring a cloud account (which is a deal breaker for me). This lets you keep your passwords in sync between your Computer (master) and mobile devices without them ever leaving your home.

All that does of course still require trust in the company, but at least not in their cloud infrastructure and, well, the internet...

Wow, that sucks. So you HAVE to create a cloud account to be able to disable it later?

Or configured to a different (your own) endpoint

Did I miss something here? I run a Unifi network with a local account and don‘t recall being forced to create a cloud account.

Coming from Sketchup and being a Software Engineer, parametric design in FreeCAD is a game changer for me.

For example being able to define a cabinet side length as the outdoor dimension minus twice the side panel thickness allows you to decide wood thicknesses after finishing the design without redoing everything.

However, FreeCAD seems to be highly unstable on macOS and Retina screens are not supported very well.

I’m a dev/creative and need an OS that: - Is not a total nightmare for software development

- Runs Adobe CC

- Does not throw ads at me

I‘m happy to take suggestions for an alternative to macOS.

Also, the seamless integration (call it lock-in) across devices is a nice bonus.

I‘m surprised and a bit disappointed that only 4 of them use Matomo. I assumed this to be the quasi standard alternative to Google...

The focal point of my comment was that I disagree with music (always) being a distraction to you primary action.

Progressive psytrance. What's interesting is that a lot of other genres of electronic music (which have similar characteristics) don't have the same effect on my productivity and ability to concentrate.
