What do you want out of a coding monospace font? in c/programming@programming.dev

And l from I from | from 1. Stuff like that. And be pretty. And somewhat retro futuristic, without sacrificing readability.

Well yes, but you also learned something.

What happened to Huntarr?

They don't dislike it, it just doesn't make them look edgy. And some people like to (which is fine BTW).

I've started on Conectiva in the nineties, Debian, Ubuntu, and settled on Mint. I'll probably switch to LMDE if at all at this point.

But we have to keep in mind that this is becoming a global standard

Fuck that bullshit. Fuck those idiots saying this is inevitable, that we have to proactively comply with laws that aren't even in the making. We don't. We won't. We'll fight every step of the way.

Sure, but i mean as a way to and stated intent to circumvent copyleft.

Did MongoDB really use AI to steal code?

Right? Why would you conduct an interview inside a cold swedish sauna?

I'm pretty sure it's a lot more than 11, BTW. But you have a point.

In space, no one can hear you scream how good this cyberdeck is!

Gun lockers (programming.dev)
 

I wanted a long gun locker. Why is it that I can only find 2 categories in the market:

  • flimsy cabinets that you could open without tools;
  • mega safes that will stand as a testament to humanity in 1000 years.

Where's my middle option?

The real reason automakers are ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (www.motortrend.com)
 

TLDR: Automakers want a piece of the data harvesting pie. But don't worry they assure us it's just to improve their products. You know, like the infotainment they're building, that they wouldn't need to build if they kept phone integration.

Sluggishness again (programming.dev)
 

Programming.dev seems to be experiencing slowness intermittently again. It is most pronounced on Tesseract, but also on the default UI. Using a mobile client such as Voyager seems more responsive, so maybe the API isn't suffering from it.

Review Checker will shut down tomorrow (blog.mozilla.org)
 

The Fakespot feature within Firefox known as Review Checker will shut down on June 10, 2025.

There goes the only feature that managed to move my wife towards a gecko based browser. l guess it's Brave for her now.

Mozilla acquired it two years ago. Bastards.

Oregon State University's Open Source Lab may shut down without $250K in funding. Projects like Gentoo, Debian, Fedora, and many more rely on it.

Battle of the noobs: CasaOS X Yunohost X TrueNAS Scale (programming.dev)
 

All of the above have web GUIs to install, configure, and maintain services and are commonly suggested for someone that is new to self hosting. What are their key differences? Their advantages and disadvantages for common use cases?

https://git.programming.dev is chock full of spam (programming.dev)
 

It's pages and pages of this. Maybe you want to restrict who can log in and create repositories.

What is NoSQL good for? (programming.dev)
 

I’m versed enough in SQL and RDBMS that I can put things in the third normal form with relative ease. But the meta seems to be NoSQL. Backends often don’t even provide a SQL interface.

So, as far as I know, NoSQL is essentially a collection of files, usually JSON, paired with some querying capacity.

  1. What problem is it trying to solve?
  2. What advantages over traditional RDBMS?
  3. Where are its weaknesses?
  4. Can I make queries with complex WHERE clauses?
