Fuck no! I always found it funny how communities find specific words offensive and look down upon people that use them. Context is important, of course, but the vast majority of cases I witness people swearing are non malicious in nature. (Don't get me wrong, there are absolutely words/phrases I will never say; again, context is key here)

Coming up with alternative words for the same intent is super silly to me, too. The individual makes it very clear they are aware of the "rules" and are making an asserted attempt to sidestep them. Why bother with all that effort and not simply use the intended word instead?

I've been using porkbun for a few years now and it's been cheap, simple, and easy to use.

I'm not sure I understand the need for charging to play media on a private server when not on the local network. Why is this no longer going to be free? I'm glad I bought a lifetime pass many many years back but I definitely wouldn't pay for Plex nowadays with alternatives being comparable. What a silly choice they made~

Take a week and build a Voron. The kits are super easy to piece together and you end up with an insanely great, reliable printer for a fraction what it should cost. Yes, the build time and initial calibration might take a bit, but mine's been without issue, printing 24h long prints perfectly for over a year now. You don't need to settle for a mediocre built printer if you have the patience to piece together one. Not to mention, since you built the kit, you know how to troubleshoot any issues that pop up much faster than something you pulled out of a box and plugged into the wall.

I was informed about Kagi through one of the posts here and tried it out. It's quite amazing how much better it is compared to even DDG. I didn't mind DDG but it felt "old" but Kagi seems to prioritize user experience over everything else. It may not be free, but it's worth the cost for me.

From the article, you can get a detailed usage history of MTA transactions by simply supplying the credit card number (which they state can very often be bought on the dark web). The lack of identity confirmation to pull the report is the concern.

Unless it's a single origin bean, it's probably a blend anyway. I just blend the leftovers with the new beans and call it a good cup. I'll try to find a complimentary roast, though. e.g. mixing a light roast with a dark roast leads to an odd cup.

Sadly mice aren't really a BIFL item given their frequent use and how switches have a lifespan before wearing out. You can surely get many many years out of one, though!

I've found the Logitech g502 to be my favorite overall mouse, so much so that I bought one to keep at work. The scroll wheel mode on Logi mice is lovely for precision work (clicky) or fast and smooth; a feature I missed greatly when I tried other mice. My first one started dying after 5 years but that was used for regular gaming sessions on the daily.

Don't be afraid of the extra buttons on gaming mice, either. You can always just not use them but I've found the buttons on top incredibly useful as an undo/redo pair and makes working in anything so much nicer.

That being said, the best mouse is the one you find comfortable. Build quality is kinda the same amongst most brands. If you can work with circuits, repair is easy for any mouse. Optical switches and scroll wheels are cool but will need more stringent cleaning (my Corsair M65 had issues regularly because of cat hair somehow sneaking in).

I've had a lot of success taking the rules that YNAB uses and applying to my own budgeting method. I recommend checking out Actual Budget if you're capable of self-hosting and want a fancier software instead of a spreadsheet. The rules are key, though; pick a methodology/mindset you agree with and stick with it.

You can self host with Vaultwarden! It's just the server; you use the same Bitwarden clients.

It's too early to know how exactly it'll be implemented, but I'd bet there would likely be a toggle/setting to turn on at the very least. I'm sure the upgrade instructions will be early laid out how to enable it.

They have a few plans, but the cheapest is $5/mo. If you go past the allotted searches it's pay per search after that (at a very tiny cost).

I switched to DDG when Google started adding cards at the bottom of the first page and made search results utterly useless for me. DDG wasn't bad but it still felt like something was missing or some results were flooded by a specific site. Kagi went the extra step to group results from a site sorta like how Google has.

Ultimately it's the benefits of old Google but some nice refinements and QoL improvements. Because it's paid for, they don't need to sell your data or shove paid for results down your throat.

It's a very valid question and I think it comes down to an individual's situation and circumstances. Not many can afford to actually leave or have family, friends, other ties to their home that they cannot emotionally afford to leave. Others struggle in how they can support efforts to fight for their rights or simply don't have the physical or emotional reserves to make such a fight. I think the only truly ethically irresponsible answer would be to do the opposite that you are able and willing to do. I could never judge someone for leaving or for staying; it's not really a mark of their character.

It's reasons like wanting to complete existing work and not overextending that I am happy to wait to create an account. I've been super happy with how y'all are running things! If there's anything I can do to help, I'd love to pitch in some!

I've been describing this as if Animal Crossing had an MMO. It's cute, cartoony, and cozy/relaxing. It has all of the typical MMO activities but a very heavy focus on house building and customization. The fishing mini game is decent to not get too boring and the cooking skills are a fun mix of different mini games. Overall it's a nice balance of freshness and QoL improvements for a nice chill gaming session. I'm excited to see where jt goes after launch!

Because you're tied to their DNS without paying a hefty fee to use outside name servers. But there's always Porkbun for nearly as cheap but no strings attached.

I think it would depend on the typical user base and how the rest of the cli operates. If it's typical array work or your users are typically programmers or otherwise know computing, then stick to 0 based indexing. If they're users of spreadsheets and rarely interface with zero-based indicies, then stick to what they know. Just document it well enough for everyone!

I'd also think inclusive is more intuitive. If they only want one element, then they can provide the single element, otherwise they get the full range.

Although, if your cli is trying to mimic another programming function. If it's very clear that's the intent, then follow the functionality of the parent function.

Be careful asking too many questions as most people won't read and you'll end up denying perfectly fine users. You'll also end up reading essays for each application, which is tedious at best. A simple, "what about makes you want to join us instead of another instance?" would probably work perfectly fine.
