Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] danhab99@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago

Maybe a bit of an edge case but I use a wallet case and I still carry a credit card. Wireless chargers have cooked my credit card a few times.. and nfc Google pay doesn't always work.

So you're right... To an extent... I usually say I'm making a new button when I'm figuring out an alias.

I guess a better way to express my point is that I'm not geared for interpreting graphics to tell what a button is supposed to do, nor am I cool with needing to press the same buttons in order multiple times.

On the CLI, all the buttons are named with (impo) meaningful names, and I can combine them into new just-as-accessable buttons whenever I want for free! It might align more with my working frustrations, I hate dragging my eyes over the same text/iconography every time I wanna do something, I want it to just 'happen'. I need a user interface that can react to me faster than I can think and to achieve that I just limit my UI to exactly what I want and I keep it easy for me to expand as I need it.

Imo I don't memorize commands. Everything on my zsh is so aliased that I don't think I can teach someone else how to use any other cli.

It just turned into me telling the machine what I want it to do and let it figure out how to rather than me do every little button click step.

Top 3 episodes (all series) for a newbie in c/startrek@startrek.website

DS9 Pale Moonlight: is my second favorite startrek episode. This is like the deepest exploration into a starfleet captain and how easy it is to lose yourself to corruption and operate outside of your government even when you're working towards the same goal.

VOY The Thaw: an unironic cathartic watch. I'm ready invested in the characters and I get to see A1 star trek grade acting actually brings me back to that episode.

If I have to put a thread object in a variable and call a method on it to start it then it's OO multi threading. I don't want to know when the thread spawns, I don't want to know what code it's running, and I don't want to know when it's done. I just want shit to happen at the same time (90% of the time)

Your guide to switching Search Engines and supporting smaller and more ethical companies! in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk
[–] danhab99@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago

On Linux most package managers download an index of every package, its requirements and installation instructions. This means I can search through it however I want.

How open would you guys be to scraping and compiling "search engine"-esq indicies on your local machines?

I thought Kanye already got his account back when Elon first bought the bird, but I guess not ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯.

edit: NVM he's gone again.

What specific things are wrong with my installed copy of Brave (programming.dev)
 

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/993501

I use manjaro linux and I installed brave using the AUR repo. I keep hearing stories about how Brave is just another ad tracking software like Chrome. What I don't understand is why, like specifically.

Because I downloaded Brave from here. The code for Brave is here. I can build and install Brave and it will be the same as from AUR right?

Ok let me list my questions:

  1. If the sourcecode for Brave is open and is all I need to compile and run the software then where's the tracker. The code base is honestly to big and high level for me and my professional abilities but I'm not that great of a programmer, I'm just really good. If there are ad trackers or adblock-blockers then I should beable to see it in the code right? I just need help actually seeing these lines of code.
  2. I've used wireshark to monitor Brave in isolation and I couldn't see traffic that I would disapprove of. It is also very realistic that I just don't know how to recognize.
  3. Just because Google maintains chromium doesn't mean that chromium browsers have to track you. Chromium is opensource and it shouldn't cost much to comment out trackers. So wasn't this already done? And if not can we actually see the lines of code that track us?

Really what I'm looking for is help coming to the conclusion that these browsers are that bad for me myself.

Why do each of my accounts have different subscription lists? (programming.dev)
 

When I joined the fediverse I thought I'd have an easier time moving between lemmy platforms. So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account. I kinda wish I can carry my lemmy user to other platforms more easily.

2 years ago I created a FOSS image board platform called Cryptochan where the gimick was that users used GPG as the RBAC authentication method. I wanted users to posses their profile as a file that they could input into any Cyptochan platform to leave replies. The file is a private key that isn't transmitted to the server, instead its used to sign the post right in the users browser. I've gotten better at webdevelopment and the the true reason I created the thing was to learn Next.js, the thing is luke-warm garbage and I never expect it to become anything.

But I was wondering if we could do a similar type of trick where a lemmy instance can package up a user and send it to another lemmy instance?

What is the difference between Linux package managers? (programming.dev)
 

I know every distro has its own package manager, some of them share the same package manager, you can even install other package managers.

Besides the source there getting the content from, the formatting of the download and compilation phases, and maybe even a specific programming language; I still can't wrap my head around why there need to be so many?

What rule says that every distro needs its own package and manager to install any package?

Advice on backing up disk images to S3? (programming.dev)
 

Recently my manjaro linux laptop had a pretty bad meltdown. My solution would usually be plugging in the live boot drive and fixing whatever happened, but that takes to long and I lost a working day because of it. I need a more brute-forcy way of backing up and recovering my machines. I'm thinking daily disk image backups that I can recover just by flashing the last days image. I have ~20tb worth of old harddrives that I could put into raid using a raspberry pi but I don't really trust them all that much.

I created this backup utility afew months ago but it's also not that great. Does anybody know a solution for uploading a disk image of my computer, encrypted locally on my machine, then upload it to s3?
