Gabe was in the office during the Scranton Strangler police chase (assuming that was the real strangler that got caught).
In Firefox there's an option to copy links without site tracking. Kinda wish it was the default behaviour.
Song.link is the simplest I know of and seems to work pretty well. Just go to song.link/YOUR_TRACK_URL. For example
https://song.link/https://music.apple.com/album/never-gonna-give-you-up-2022-remaster/1624945511?i=1624945512
will take you to this page https://song.link/i/1624945512 with links to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube and what not.
Bonus tip: if you're on macOS and use Velja there's an option to automatically convert all copied music links to songlink.
That's pretty much the same size as an iPhone 15 Pro. Not even close to the size of the mini.
Just use a password manager and a unique, long, random generated password for every site. There's no need or reason to know the password to anything other than your password manager and your primary email.
Porkbun is awesome. A few months ago I transferred most of my domains from Namecheap to Porkbun and I’ll be transferring the rest soon.
Namecheap are still in my top 3 after Porkbun and Cloudflare though.
Courtois medical report
Official Website with information about the next Real Madrid games and the latest news about the football club, games, players, schedule, and tickets.
Following tests carried out on Thibaut Courtois, the player has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The player will undergo surgery in the coming days.
I've never been entirely happy with automated switching so I just use a keyboard shortcut to switch manually between light and dark when I feel like it but this looks good.
EDIT: It seems this made it to HN. Is this my cue to Soatokify this article?

> The NightOwl application has existed since 2018 and is used to automatically switch between light/dark modes on the operating system. It is an alternative to the built in macOS automatic mode which only switches when the user steps away from the computer. > > However, the application has been bought out by “TPE.FYI LLC” in late 2022 that forcibly joins your devices into a botnet for use of market research, without your knowledge (other than the TOS in small text on the download page) or express consent (this feature cannot be turned off, even when the app is quit). This is documented in their terms of service.
I really doubt an automated database dump is going to hurt them a whole lot. However, if you're looking to eliminate everything you've ever posted (and I mean everything, not just the few recent posts you see on your profile), redact.dev (possibly others too) can use that zip to find all your posts and comments and edit/delete them.
Now I'm not saying you should delete your data. I know many people believe that leaving it there benefits humanity as a whole or whatever, but if you are going to do it that's the only effective way.
The macOS firewall can only block incoming connections. If you want to block outgoing too you need something like LittleSnitch or LuLu.
A lot of people seem to have forgotten (or maybe just weren't around at the time) but there were tons of duplicate communities on reddit during the first years too. Over time their mods either agreed to close one and point everyone to the other or the less active ones faded away naturally.
One problematic scenario I can envision with that approach on Lemmy however is the mods of news@lemmysite1 and news@lemmysite2 agreeing to keep the first one alive, but then after a while lemmysite1 closes for whatever reason. So we're left with news@lemmysite2 which is a ghost town. Probably not a big deal for a news community, but for something with a lot of info on a particular topic it's not really ideal.
Haha well then it's a good thing they're only giving an option to turn if off and not removing it completely :)
Personally I don't mind it as much as other people but it just feels kinda cheap. The beep makes me think of a microwave or a dishwasher, not a gaming console.
It also finally brings an option to mute the startup beep!
questions if you want to block something or not
Interesting because that's exactly how LuLu works too. Or did you just whitelist everything and block only what you needed manually?
I like how minimalistic RadioSilence is, but I found it a bit too limited for my use case. Does the job if you want to just block an app or two and allow everything else.
Lulu is awesome, free, and open-source (so... triple awesome?). I've personally used it for a couple of years and I can definitely recommend it.
Unfortunately there have been 3 separate times that it seemed to completely forget its configuration and having to allow or deny every single connection all over again gets old pretty fast. Little Snitch also looks nicer and has a few more features, although nothing life changing.
With that said I just saw a decent discount and decided to share it. I'm not saying you should use one over the other or anything like that.

Looks good, but as far as I can tell there's no option to keep your data offline only.
I actually use CotEditor and VS Code pretty much the same way you do. I'd probably switch to VS Code for everything if it opened just a bit faster. There's something about the 2-3 seconds it takes to start that really annoys me so I only use it for longer tasks.
After using old.reddit for ~15 years (of course back then it was called just reddit) I have to say I don't miss it one bit. It had so many issues, but was still infinitely better than the abomination they came up with to replace it so I stuck with it. While far from perfect, I much prefer Lemmy's UI.
With that said, having the option is great. I'm sure it'll help a lot of people with the transition.
Unraid OS version 6.12.2 available
Changes vs. 6.12.1
This is mainly a bug fix release, including also a minor security update. Other highlights:
- We reverted docker from v23.0.6, introduced during Unraid OS 6.12 development, to v20.10.24, which is the latest patch release of docker used in Unraid OS 6.11. This to address increased memory usage and other issues discovered with docker.
- A small necessary change to invoke our 'update_services' script whenever a WireGuard tunnel starts or stops is automatically applied to all 'config/wireguard/*.conf' files when you update via Update OS page. For manual update or if you downgrade, it is necessary to make a "dummy change" in a setting on the Settings/VPN Manager page and then click Apply.

Hello, World!
/c/macapps is pretty much what one might expect from the title - a community for macOS users to discuss and discover apps, find alternatives, get help, promote your own apps, etc.
The rules will be adapted as necessary as the community grows, but for now here are the basics:
-
No piracy. Links to cracked apps or incentivizing piracy will not be tolerated. I don't want to be the moral police, but this is simply not the place.
-
Try to be nice. Self explanatory.
-
Self-promotion is welcome, but please tag your posts. We're here to, among other things, discover new apps and that includes your new apps. By letting people know you're the developer you can actually get some valuable feedback.
I'm preparing some posts which I'll be publishing over the next few hours/days to get the ball rolling and make the place more welcoming.
