Does Tridactyl suck as much as Vimium-FF on FF57? I would guess so. I used to run VimFX, but I'm out of luck now. It seems we have to wait for the DOM to load before we can use our keyboard shortcuts...


To correct your correction I'd like to add that far from every European country is a member of the EU.


He is saying that that law applies to EU citizens even when they are not located in the EU. Much more difficult then determining which country the user is connecting from.

Not sure if this is the law though


And UK citizens, even if Brexit happens.


What a nightmare. I'm sure there are use cases for a setup like this, but this is not the system I'd like to maintain. I use Jekyll because of it's simplicity. I edit my site in my favorite text editor and rsync to shared hosting.


Couldn't agree more. I love tinkering around with things and building setups just to learn, but for something like a personal webpage I just want simple.

I use hugo and then setup my output folder (where the generated output goes) as a git repo. Generate the site -> git commit/push -> Caddy. Caddy has a feature to pull in content from a git repo so when you couple that with the built-in Let's Encrypt support it makes it dead simple.


I also use hugo. In my setup, though, I have everything in one git repo - config files, content files, theme, output, etc. Nginx exposes its output directory.

I stopped using Caddy when I discovered that it didn't support one of the unusual TLDs I had. Maybe I should give it another go, though. That was over a year ago.


What do you mean it didn't support a TLD? It's a server, how does it need to "support" TLDs? In my experience, you just specify the hostname and it works.


I'm not sure. All I know is that when I had a domain name in there ending in ".space," the server ignored that config and served everything else.

I assumed it was because of the TLD, because everything else was otherwise identical to some of the other virtualhosts.


Huh, that's really odd. I wonder if it's a regex gone wrong.


Really? That shouldn't be the case: Caddy doesn't care about TLD. Will you file an issue?


I use a very similar system for static sites that I maintain. I edit my site in my favorite text editor and run 'git push'. :)

It was a bit of work to get everything running, but there's very little to actually maintain afterward. I'm definitely going to start replicating the setup elsewhere (including my own homepage, which is currently down due to its VPS having failed hard and me not having enough time to rebuild it).


Agreed on this front. Github pages is super simple with Jekyll. Literally push to your branch and it's deployed. This seems a bit overkill. Still interesting though.


Probably fine until they try to install Spotify, or some other life critical piece of software.


So it's a question of UX, not security?


No, it's a question of security. AVs are huge and therefore significantly increase the attack surface. They also auto-update all the time which means your computer now talks to one more update server that can be compromised.

Windows Defender is relatively small, doesn't really have any features or fancy UI and updates come from the same servers that your OS updates come from (presumably). That's about as close as you can get to not making it worse by installing an AV.



Very true. But sadly, being rich won't make you more apt to handling this kind of power.


Yeah yeah, but unless it can do this, it will impress no Lambo buyer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SR4WlncmC4


That will soon be the sound of second place, and their feelings will change.


These girls and boys don't race, they revv. But yes, I hope you're right.


I shot with the Holga quite extensively over 10 years ago. I must say it's strange to say that the “Holga look” inspired the creators of Instagram—because the result looks nothing like it.

Instagram did not attempt to create faux light leaks or to emulate the imperfections of the plastic lens (which is what I associate with the Holga look). If anything, some of the Instagram filters come closer to a well exposed instant film.


I think this has more to do with the fact that cell-phone cameras got much better.

2010-era phone cameras were pretty crappy.

My own Holga never had light leaks, and most of the effects I got out of it were done via double-exposure or cross-processing the film (a very common Instagram look).


Or go ahead and install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

Makes it simpler and more accessible.


Wow, thanks for the link. That makes things a lot better; the accessibility features are great.
