  • Suggestion for "relay" Lemmy instance for personal use?

  • After you explained it a bit further in another comment it was pretty obvious you didn't mean cryrocurrencies. I really did latch onto "crypto" as cryptocurrency, unfortunately the case for a lot of people.

  • Please use Ctrl+R

  • I always just use zsh with oh my zsh. Best of both worlds.

    One thing that I still don't know how to do is go to the next result in the search with Ctrl+r. Makes it less useful lol

  • I just switched to connect. It's pretty slick.

  • Godot can run on fairly low end stuff, just use the opengl based renderer. The official Godot docs are actually pretty dang good nowadays. Join a game jam asap https://godotwildjam.com/ you'll probably find a team willing to take a newbie. You'll learn a lot. Good luck!

  • One company found that too much JavaScript costs them $700,000 per year, per kilobyte.

  • Prioritizing developer experience is not the reason we use front-end frameworks. People expect the web to work like a desktop app (no page reloads). The initial request might take a little bit longer, but in the end a well written front-end app will feel faster.

    The problem is that people don't worry about bundle size and cram every library off of npm into their website.

  • China is building a 100GW renewable capacity project by the Yalong river. This will power 100 million households, the equivalent of the entire US population.

  • Dams are usually bad too.

  • Not 100% sure how this works, but dam and river usually means environmental consequences.

  • People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling?

  • Oh I feel silly now. I guess I'll go back to drinking from the tap.

  • No boiling, but I bought a filter after listening to a story about PFAS.

  • What's your favorite desktop environment (or window manager) to use?

    Jump

  • I've been using Sway as my main desktop environment for a few years now. Before that I was very into KDE.

  • Try out Godot. It uses a really simple language (gdscript), has excellent learning material, and you can make games!

  • Depends if you want a managed service or not. As stated by others, any Linux vm can do it: Aws ec2, Azure, Digital ocean, etc. Cost won't spiral because you pay a fixed fee for the vm you choose (can be like 5 dollars a month).

    The options that can spiral if for some reason your app started being used a lot. But likely these will be pretty much free:

    A lot of cloud platforms have some sort of managed container service. Wrap your app in a docker container and pay per 10K API calls for example.

    Another option is to use a managed service that handles the runtime for you (AWS Lambda, Google cloud app engine, etc.) These options should have the option for a dotnet core runtime. They can also be really cheap if your app isn't used much.

  • Just found the Emoji/GIF keyboard in Windows....🤦‍♂️

  • On Android (maybe iOS)? You can hold down on the space key and drag left and right to move the text cursor. Very useful.

  • What are you earliest me memories of web forums like?

  • Creating a silly sig (signature) for a web forum (gimptalk?). I think they had a specific sub forum for sig critique.

  • I was thinking that might be a thing. Actually kind of poetic. Love it.

  • Is this the same Chicago that sold all their parking meters to Wall Street making infrastructure changes really difficult because it would cut into parking meter profits?
