Hello there!
I just moved from my previous instance to toot.community, so I guess it's time for an #introduction post :)
I'm a 30yo developer who talks mostly about #technology, #OpenSource and #SelfHosting, sometimes about #photography and #environment, and rarely about #FrenchPolitics.
I hope to make a few new connections here!

Bonjour ici !
Je viens de migrer depuis ma précédente instance vers toot.community, donc je pense qu'il est temp pour un post d' #introduction :)
Je suis un développeur de 30 ans qui parle principalement de #technologie, d' #OpenSource et de #SelfHosting, parfois de #photographie et encore plus rarement de #politique française.
J'espère faire de nouvelles relations ici !

It's official: #Microsoft deprecated #WindowsMixedReality and will remove it in a future #Windows update...
What a shame, it was an excellent alternative to #MetaQuest and #ValveIndex that went from the low-end to the high-end while being compatible with #SteamVR.
Well, let's start counting days before my HP WMR becomes a paperweight :/ #VR #WMR

@fenarinarsa je n'espère pas, j'espère que quelqu'un va reverse-engineer le protocole pour que ça soit direct compatible SteamVR

Oh, what a great #Christmas gift: #FreshRSS got a release today! 🥰 #FOSS #OpenSource #SelfHosting

#HP's CEO made the bullshit claim that they block third-party #InkCartridges from their #printers in order to fight viruses.
Many #security experts agree that it's a highly unlikely attack vector, which confirms that it's a greedy move in order to protect their IP and subscription model

Today I played my first #FPS (#PortalRevolution) on my #SteamDeck and I was chocked how good the #trackpad's mouse emulation is.
Using the stick to move the camera was awful, as the dead zones are too big for precise movements while the default sensitivity is too low for quick movements.
The trackpad on the other hand is surprisingly good: I could do quick pans by flicking the virtual trackball and precise movements as well!

Reminds me of a Moto 360 Gen 2 update that made the battery life drop from ~12 hours to less than a work day 🙄 #FitBit #WearOS #smartwatch
https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/111852197925449457

@halide @macrumors it looks like a Samsung Galaxy 🙃
It definitely weird to see Apple go away from the camera square which has been a defining design trait for the last few generations of iPhones

#Meta et l'illusion du choix : on t'autorise à utiliser #Messenger sans #Facebook, mais tu perds tout ton historique...

I've been trying #NextJS14 for the past week, it has blown my mind!
I don't remember ever being able to write a dynamic website this quickly.
It has server-side rendering and caching by default and out-of-box, seamless lazy-loading and data-streaming, server and client components interleaving, easy to write REST API...
#NextJS #React #RSC #WebDev

@sdw This is stupid, EU citizens still are EU citizens even outside the EU! It's the same as following GDPR only if a website visitor's IP is from a EU country 🙄

Hello #WebDev and #javascript people!

I was wondering, what's the consensus on #monorepo tooling in 2024?

I would greatly appreciate if you have some comparison between package managers and build systems you could link to 😁

Thanks!

@MichaelAltfield The tricky part is, even though photos are deleted from your instance, there is no mechanism to delete them from federated instances (each instance has a local copy of pictures posted to other instances)

@nhoizey isn't setting an `srcset` enough to alleviate this issue?

@chriskirknielsen I see people on my timeline building their websites with 11ty and I'm here re-building mine with Next.js 😅

@chriskirknielsen It's definitely overkill, but I wanted to play with React Server Components! As for client-side JS, you still have to provide JS at least for navigation (not sure you can opt-out, it still works with JS disabled), but my aim is to ship as little as possible to the client.

@nhoizey yes, I figured you would have to optimize the sizes

Ça fait désormais plus d'un mois que je pratique le #vélotaff, c'est un vrai plaisir, bien plus que je ne l'avais anticipé, et ce même sous la pluie.
Et j'en ai profité pour réaliser un rêve : posséder un #Brompton ! 😄

@HTeuMeuLeu Pourquoi ça ne m'étonne pas ?

I don't know how I missed it, but I gotta love grid-template-areas for building #CSS Grids. Until last week I was positioning elements on the grid like a caveman, using grid-row and grid-columns 🤦‍♂️

TIL that #FirefoxForAndroid does not support #HTMLDragAndDrop 😢
It never occurred to me until I was implementing Atlassian's Pragmatic drag and drop and tested on my phone this morning

#CSS #WebDev

Well, I'm very disappointed by the fact that #Apple still ties #Safari updates with their OSes:
Last week I created nice, styled checkboxes using the `:has()` pseudo-element, thinking it was already well-supported.
That was until today, when I realized that only #iOS 15.4+ supports it and that a non-negligible amount of my employer's clients use versions lower than that… 😮‍💨
So I had to nix my elegant solution and add divs that are only used for applying style to their children #CSS #WebDev

#CoupDeGueule #Vélo #Paris :
C'est connu, les cyclistes à Paris respectent assez peu le code de la route. Jusqu'à aujourd'hui, je soupirais en me disant "ça ne regarde qu'eux s'ils risquent inutilement leur vie".
Sauf qu'aujourd'hui j'ai eu droit à :
- ce matin une cycliste en vélo libre-service avec des Airpods qui m'a coupé la priorité (le feu était rouge pour elle) malgré mes coups de sonnette répétés
- ce soir un automobiliste m'a klaxonné alors que je traversais une intersection au feu vert

Cet automobiliste était derrière moi, j'étais bien à droite sur la route. Je le retrouve au prochain feu, lui demande pourquoi il a klaxonné et s'est expliqué en disant "vous savez, les cyclistes, vous faites n'importe quoi". Après lui avoir expliqué que je respectais scrupuleusement le code de la route, il s'est feint d'un "je m'excuse" sans conviction et est parti pour couper court à la conversation !

Je sais que ces toots ne vont absolument rien changer, mais j'avais besoin d'un exutoire 😮‍💨

A bunch of Asian tourist just boarded my train and suddenly a ton of pocket Wi-Fi hotspots appeared 😅

@tut_tuuut Deux boulettes chez mon ancien employeur :
- Première en 2018, j'ai réalisé la migration de ReCaptcha v2 vers v3, utilisé pour "sécuriser" les formulaires de connexion utilisateurs et des inscriptions clients. Étant dans l'entreprise depuis peu de temps, je n'étais pas conscient que le second formulaire utilisait ReCaptcha. Verdict : aucun client n'a pu s'inscrire pendant près d'une semaine 🤦‍♂️

@tut_tuuut - La seconde en 2020 : pour s'assurer que les numéros de factures soient séquentiels, je crée une séquence en base de données avec un verrou. Triple problème : chaque transaction attendait que la facture de la précédente transaction soit terminée, toutes les transactions généraient une facture alors qu'initialement on pensait que seule une partie le faisaient et on a déployé la fonctionnalité le jour du pic de trafic annuel 😭

@vincent C'est en effet de belles fonctionnalités, mais professionnellement tant qu'une part non-négligeable du traffic de mon employeur vient de versions d'iOS qui ne les supportent pas, je ne pourrai pas merger ces pull requests 😢

Ah, ravis d'apprendre que la #DGFIP ne prend pas en compte #Firefox pour Android dans les développements du site des #impôts 😒
Il faut vraiment que quelque chose soit fait pour casser l'hégémonie et l'emprise qu'a Blink / Chromium / Chrome sur le marché des navigateurs internet.

@csscade Hello, just to let you know that your RSS feed has an issue: it seems that the articles' IDs are not static, resulting in duplicate articles in some RSS readers

Hello fellow #WebDev using #Ubuntu: do you know of a way to install old versions of #Epiphany / #GnomeWeb? I would like to test websites as if browsing from an old version of iOS.

My first thought was to look at Snap and Flatpak but unfortunately only the latest version is available :/

Quelqu'un peut-il m'expliquer cette tendance qui consiste à circuler en vélo dans Paris avec ses pneus sous-gonflés ?

Blague à part, ça met en lumière une absence de pédagogie de la part des vendeurs de vélos : pour ma part il fallu que je crève pour qu'on me dise qu'il faut faire la pression toutes les semaines 🫤

@ExtinctionR Could you update the alternative text for the image? It makes no sense: there's no notion of who's speaking and the sentences are not in the correct order.

@Ikrial Pas sûr que l'union dure longtemps, on a vu ce que ça a donné avec la NUPES :/

@Ikrial J'avoue que j'ai déconnecté de l'actualité politique il y a quelques temps, je n'ai eu que des échos de cette prétendue désunion de la NUPES. My bad !

I swear I had the idea before WWDC

@mia I would have to wait for iOS versions prior to the one that introduced support to drop bellow 5% usage on my employer's website. Which means I unfortunately cannot use most new CSS features that came out in the past 3-4 years unless they are progressive enhancements.

@phaeton @bonpoteofficiel https://impots-frontpopulaire.fr/

@chriskirknielsen I guess the only other option is to go to the closest embassy, but it's probably too far to be reasonable, right? :/

I finally upgraded my #PostgreSQL databases from 15 to 16 on my #NAS! I kept postponing the upgrade because migrating always has been a chore… that is until I found this amazing project, docker-pgautoupgrade!

Some 4 months ago, while researching the stack we could use to rewrite my employer's website, I asked myself the following question: "What if I rewrote my personal website with Next.js?".

I ended up doing it and wrote down the experience: my process to build this new version, the improvements I made and what I wished had been easier.

I want to thank @chriskirknielsen for proof-reading this article and inspiring me to write this article in the first place with his "2024 redesign" blog post!

Fun fact: 4 years ago I wrote a blog post explaining how to build #WordPress import files.
For reasons unknown to me, 70% of this page's audience comes from Yandex, speak Russian and is located in Russia. Is WordPress powering Russia?

Je découvre avec effroi que certains couloirs de bus à #Paris ont été réquisitionnés pour les #JO et sont désormais interdits aux #cyclistes, lesquels doivent donc circuler en plein milieu de certains boulevards 😤

@readeck I love the bookmark ordering, actually I was about to open an issue to suggest the feature 😅

@readeck If I may, I now feel that the GUI should display the publication and added dates in the search. The absence of the added date always felt weird as the search has filters based on this date. (I would also like to see both dates displayed in the bookmark details)

@readeck I'm not sure what the list view is.

@readeck Oh yes, I totally understand that it's not always here.

@readeck How did I miss this feature? 😅 Yes, it would definitely work there.

Today I share a quick little tip on my blog: an ESLint rule to stop forgetting the `sizes` attribute for responsive images in React / Next.js

Have you tried to set Firefox's language in Cypress? I did, and to my surprise it isn't documented anywhere.

Has anyone been able to set up #DarkVisitors' Agent Analytics on #Vercel Edge Middleware?

I cannot understand why, but Dark Visitors does not register any visit to my production website while it does when I run #NextJS locally 🤔

Nevermind, it now works. Maybe I had to wait for the Edge Middleware to spread to most edge locations?

I've known better Fridays... Today I had to handle a massive outage from Clever Cloud during my lunch break and most of the afternoon, and my UPS decided to fail in the middle of a meeting, powering down my NAS and bringing down my network with it...

I had a stupid little idea that I had to try: a dynamic GitHub README that lists my last blog articles.

All it took was a couple of hours, a few lines of TypeScript and a GitHub Action: https://github.com/axeleroy/axeleroy

#GitHub #TypeScript #PersonalProject #RSS #GitHubActions

Should I write a short blog post about this? I don't know if it's interesting enough to warrant one.

Oh and for once, I managed to make a GitHub Action work on the first try! 🎉

Y a-t-il des employés de #CleverCloud sur Mastodon ? J'aimerai savoir si on aura droit à un postmortem de l'incident de vendredi dernier.

WTF happened last night? Dark Visitors recorded nearly 1,200 hits from Mastodon instances fetching Open Graph data on my blog 🤯
#Mastodon #DarkVisitors #OpenGraph

@BeAware@social.beaware.live I don't know, I cannot find any toot other than mines containing a URL to my website and nobody boosted one of my toots.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live Where do you find those stats?

@BeAware@social.beaware.live Cool, thanks!

@GoOz Pour ma part j'utilise Darktable pour le traitement, c'est un outil très puissant mais plus difficile à prendre en main que Lightroom. Je n'utilise pas trop la fonctionnalité de tri, donc je ne peux pas me prononcer dessus.

@starrwulfe Unless there are lots of new instances going online and federating my account, that sounds unlikely

@starrwulfe Well, the paths hit are the homepage (which is linked on my profile) and a link that is pinned, so the most likely explanation is that lots of people are opening my profile on their respective instance.

@starrwulfe I think the culprit might be this toot that has been boosted by a bot account with ~400 followers right before the peak happened

@chriskirknielsen I wonder how many times this scare technique works and they sell their stupid accessibility tool to a unknowing company

I watched John Frankenheimer's Grand Prix tonight. It's so good I'm afraid it ruined every other racing movie to me 😅

It's also great V8 ASMR

The making of the movie is fascinating:
It's a technical marvel as it used the first radio-controlled cameras and is one of the first movies to mount cameras onto racing cars.
It's a political tour de force as they were able to film during grand prix weekends and convince Ferrari to be onboard.
And finally it's incredible that the main actors actually drove their cars (and were trained by Carol Shelby!), and that they convinced actual F1 drivers to drive the camera car as well as opponents'.

@css Hi! I love your tips but I often struggle to understand what each declaration does, I would really love in-depth versions of your articles like the ones you wrote on Smashing Magazine 😄

@css Got it, thanks!

Uggghhhh, I hate it when an interesting blog does not have a RSS feed.
But it's even more frustrating when it's from someone that is well-regarded in their community, like how the fuck are people supposed to keep up other than following them on (that hellscape formerly known as) Twitter?
And obviously, that blog uses Tailwind rather than semantic HTML or BEM class names, making it difficult to parse the fucking thing with FreshRSS.

Oh my god, I think I've found *the* tool to free me from the purgatory that is `jq`: Dasel.

Its syntax is much saner than jq's and it even allows to manipulate YAML, TOML, XML and CSV in addition to JSON ❤️

https://github.com/TomWright/dasel#readme
#jq #dasel #json

If you're familiar with jq, just look at how much easier to comprehend the following examples are:
https://axel.leroy.sh/quick-refs#dasel

@wader Sorry, I did not mean to diminish your work, it's just that the syntax always felt so convoluted to me that I always ended up searching how to do basic operations 😕

@wader Oh, I always thought you had to use map to extract keys from an array of objects 🤔

@VioB oh bon dieu, j'avais oublié cette campagne claquée 😂

Ah yes, it hit me last Saturday after updating Windows. Thankfully I was able to find the fix outlined in the article and everything went back to normal. But still Microsoft, you failed once again!

@bortzmeyer il n'y a pas de flux RSS 🙃

I'm astonished by APC's / Schneider Electric's RMA process:
- On Friday, my 22 months-old-still-under-warranty UPS alerted me of a defective battery.
- On the same day, I contacted APC's support.
- Yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, the support contacted me back, confirming the diagnosis and agreeing to send me a new unit.
- 24 hours later, the new unit arrived 🤯

@lord @bortzmeyer @Bouletcorp@octodon.social Ceci dit le flux RSS du blog ne semble pas reprendre le contenu de la newsletter où Boulet compte également partager son actualité et des recommandations.

Pour ceux qui souhaitent un flux RSS de la newsletter de @Bouletcorp@octodon.social et qui utilisent FreshRSS, voici un OPML à importer qui génère un flux à partir du HTML :

À noter cependant que ça cassera dès que Kessel changera la structure de la page.

@HTeuMeuLeu Je découvre surtout que Speed Rabbit existe encore !

Bien évidemment, la retransmission de la Cérémonie d'ouverture des Jeux Paralympiques sur France 2 dispose de sous-titres ainsi que de l'audio-description.
Cependant je relève 2 points noirs :
- l'audio-description et les commentaires sont par moment au même niveau sonore, ce qui rend la description difficile à comprendre
- les sous-titres sont décalés de plusieurs dizaines de secondes (d'accord, c'est du direct, mais AMA ça rend plus difficile à suivre)

@readeck I love the idea, I stopped counting the times I closed the popup by accident and lost the tags I already typed 😅

@textoo @edasfr Je suis dans le camp surenchère technologique, bien que c'est parfois pratique le capteur sous l'écran lorsque le téléphone est posé sur la table.

@axx interesting that you mention the Pixel 2, I planned on keeping it as long as I could, until the power button became unresponsive then dead about 2 and 3 years in. I then caved in and bought the Pixel 6, which already has dead pixels in the top right corner, less than 2 years after its purchase...

Oh et à priori ce ne serait pas la première fois qu'il use de cette technique :

"While unusual, Maduro’s decision to move Christmas celebrations forward is not unprecedented. The politician has done the same on several occasions since taking office after the premature 2013 death of his mentor, Hugo Chávez."

@readeck I just tried the new panel to add links from the Firefox extensions, this is so much better than before, I love it!

@chriskirknielsen The favicons do help, I think I'll add them to my current version. The OPML is a nice touch, I did not think of adding it even though I'm parsing one to create my list! I'll add that as well, though I'll have to manipulate it to remove my paid feeds.

@chriskirknielsen I did it by iterating the feeds when parsing the OPML and replaced the private feed URL by the public one. I also stripped the RSS feed URL for Kill the Newsletter feeds

I might have taken some inspiration from @chriskirknielsen's Blogroll to improve my own /feeds page.

Namely displaying in columns, favicons next to websites and links to OPML in order to import in your favorite #RSS reader.

Note that the OPMLs leverage #FreshRSS's ability to parse HTML to create feeds for the few websites I listed without a RSS feed!

@Peperlito Merci pour les conseils ! Concernant la veste, sais-tu si la capuche est suffisamment grande pour être mise par dessus un casque ? Ce n'est pas évident avec les photos.

I knew #ThePlatform does not need a sequel, but yeah, I wish I did not waste my time watching #ThePlatform2. It does not bring anything new to the story or its universe.

@b0rk Like many here, I used Jekyll for many years, it only broke down with major Ruby updates where I had to reinstall it (which obly happened every 2 years when I jumped from one Ubuntu LTS to another)

In my case it was helpful (otherwise I could not log visits using Goatcounter) but that's not particularly reassuring.

Great, it's 1:30, I have insomnia and my UPS switched to battery for no reason and keeps beeping...

But is the aria-labelledby attribute required? Is it enough to just do

Oh, Vercel just released Next.js 15 and announced that Turbopack is now stable.
In their blog post they talked about the latter reaching 100% test completion and supporting Tailwind and Emotion, but not a single word on support for WyW-in-JS, on which Linaria and PigmentCSS depend on 🙄

Hello fellow #RSS users!

I'm curious to know what is everyone's sentiment on the number of articles a feed should have, especially when subscribing to a #blog.

If it were up to you, what should a blog's RSS feed contain?

Personally, after I added a feed, I'll scan the titles, pick the articles I find interesting and mark every other articles as read. But when the feed has like 20+ articles I feel overwhelmed and mark the entire feed as read.

Because I needed to close a modal after clicking a link in it, I had to come up with a Next.js hook that triggers an action when navigation occurs:

@nitot bizarre la pédale qui s'enlève pour se fixer sous le guidon

@chriskirknielsen I noticed that too but I thought it was just my eyes deceiving me, but you went the extra mile and checked!

@pb Pour information les IP sont rarement statiques chez AWS (faut payer pour), il est probable qu'elles soient réaffectées à d'autres clients et que celles d'Anthropic changent encore.

@pb J'allais suggérer de bloquer toutes les plages IP de AWS si le surblocage n'est pas un problème

I wonder why units (such as gram, kilometers, miles) aren't locale-dependant like temperatures and hour formats. I spent the last week in London and I was slightly annoyed that Citymapper and Google Maps would express distances in yards and miles (which are meaningless to me) with no option to switch to the metric system for the former (it's hidden in the settings for Maps). #i18n #locale

Anyone on #Bluesky willing to test a few things for me?
Could you try replying to and boosting one of my toots that were cross-posted using #BridgyFed: https://bsky.app/profile/axeleroy.toot.community.ap.brid.gy
Thanks in advance!

Edit: Interactions from accounts already following @ap.brid.gy do work, but I wonder if interactions from accounts that do not are forwarded to Mastodon 🤔

I think I got my answer from a previous toot.

On Bluesky it has a like from a user that does not follow @ap.brid.gy https://bsky.app/profile/axeleroy.toot.community.ap.brid.gy/post/3l3nz2caoldy2/liked-by

While it does not appear on Mastodon https://toot.community/@axeleroy/113103330934683478/favourites

Oh, I also noticed that updates to a toot are not propagated to Bluesky.

@thomasjorgensen @jerome_herbinet Same here, though I wished more people on Bluesky would opt-in to Bridgy Fed so I can follow them from here.

@pimterry We are using MUI's Pigment CSS which has styled compiled at build time and it works relatively well with React Server Components. It has a few edge cases and the documentation is a bit lacking.
There is also Next Yak which has an API closer to styled-components and uses the exact same solution as Pigment CSS.

@matuzo FIY today's article is missing from the RSS feed

Ils sont vicieux chez Free pour la résiliation :
Le lien dans l'espace abonné ne permet pas de résilier, il invite à appeler leur support. Une fois le support appelé, ils suggèrent d'envoyer une lettre recommandée, sinon de chercher le lien "Résiliation" dans le footer de free.fr/freebox
Ce lien est différent du précédent et permet bien de résilier !

@petaramesh Sans oublier les courriers des supermarchés du coin qui "t'accueillent dans le quartier" parce que La Poste a revendu tes coordonnées postales, ceci car tu as "oublié" de décocher une case se trouvant sous la ligne de flottaison quand tu as souscrit à une redirection de courrier 🙃

@nitot À chaque fois que je une photo de ton G Line, je ressens une petite pointe d'envie alors que mon C Line me satisfait pleinement, je ne comprends pas 🥲

Got my first reply on Lemmy suggesting that I migrate to Linux. Should I tell them that Linux has been my daily OS for 15 years already?

(it was in response to a comment where I lamented that Microsoft dropped support for Windows Mixed Reality VR headsets, which has very limited support outside of Windows)

Eugen congratulating #Threads for allowing their users to follow #Fediverse users, while in the meantime, following and interacting with Threads users from the Fediverse is still opt-in... 🙄
Meta is definitely embracing #federation half-heartedly.

Ugh, I hate this recent trend of movies that are in two parts but nothing in the marketing mentions it! Not only is this deceptive, but come on, these movies are already nearly 3 hours long, you could not cram the entire story in a single movie? 🙄

I was about to share the last #HTMHell Advant Calendar article I read thinking it was today's, but I realized that it was actually next Tuesday's article that somehow got in the RSS feed long enough for FreshRSS to pick it up 😅

@chris22smith @matuzo Exactly. Maybe you could force the readers to "erase" the post's content by updating the entry with empty content? Then when you do publish the article, make sure the guid is different so it's a new entry in the feed.
(BTW I can't wait to be Tuesday so I can share that article 😉)

@narF @SolInfoNat @frenchfilo Ce sont des entreprises qui "louent" les services d'ingénieurs ou qui font de la sous-traitance de projets informatiques. En gros, au lieu d'embaucher en interne pour réaliser un projet, les entreprises sous-traitent le projet entier ou font appel à des employés de ces ESN. Moins de RH à réaliser et on peut se séparer de ces "ressources" (dès qu'un projet est terminé ou que le budget est KO) plus facilement que si elles étaient employées directement par l'entreprise

@chriscoyier FIY the link to Full Feed RSS is broken and points to WP's admin

I slept for barely 3 hours, got out of bed an hour ago and I already managed to open a Next.js issue with a reproduction project.

I have now been up for over 2 hours and I managed to update a handful of Docker containers, setup a couple of FreshRSS extensions and report two more bugs, including on Zen Browser's website.

My laptop battery is now at 25%, will I be able to report a fourth bug, this time on Firefox for Android ?

4th bug opened! I guess it's time for breakfast now?

OMG, yes! #FreshRSS 1.25 adds a user setting to define which criterion to use in order to define articles' unicity. I am finally able to fix duplicate entries in some feeds ! (looking at you, DPReview)

Chère Mairie de Paris, un couloir de bus n'est pas une piste cyclable. Ce matin encore, un taxi m'a doublé bien trop près. Donc soit vous nous donnez de vraies pistes cyclables sécurisées, soit vous interdisez aux taxis d'emprunter les couloirs de bus.

I was perfectly happy using #Deezer for the past two weeks until I noticed that you cannot add titles or albums to the queue on Android!

How can such a basic feature be missing? And it's not like the feature has to be implemented from scratch: it is available on the desktop, which is why it took me so long to notice its absence on my phone.

This is almost a deal-breaker to me, like what the hell? 😤

Correction: the add to queue feature is there, but somehow it disappears when using the "Shuffle my music" feature. And I just checked on desktop, adding to queue is still there in that case. WTF.

I finally updated my TrueNAS SCALE install to 24.10 and gave a try to the new RAIDZ expansion feature –which I was waiting for a long time. Granted, it took about 72 hours to go from 4 to 5 drives, but it was pretty easy and painless.

Now, I hope to test out the native docker compose feature in the next few weeks, and find out if it matches my needs.

I think I've found the best place to hide a tracker on my Brompton: in its front carrier block!

It does require a Pebblebee Tag, as AirTag and Chipolo One are too big to fit. Just make sure to leave a space on top for the locking mechanism to fit.

Edit: I was told that AirTags fit as well, so I guess Motorola Moto Tag might fit too, as I believe they are roughly the size of AirTags.

#Brompton @brompton #bicycle

@sanji @brompton I don't believe common thieves would stumble upon this or even be knowledgeable about Bromptons

@bleepbloop This tracker works with Apple's and Google's Find My Device networks.

How it works is that the tracker broadcasts a signal and every compatible phone that picks it up reports the location at which it heard the tracker. The report is encrypted so that only the tracker's owner can know its location.

@Blue_Morpho I don't think it would interfere with the signal as the carrier block is mostly made of plastic. I haven't tried the range yet, but I'm not too worried.

@bleepbloop yes, you only have to push on the button twice and your iPhone or Android device should prompt you to add it to their network.

@ReCyclist @brompton Oh, they must be smaller than I thought.

@Showroom7561 I share your opinion, replaceable batteriesare better, I even went for the Chipolo first but unfortunately it didn't fit.

@xtaran Not surprising, I always found Limes to be too powerful, to the point that it almost threw me off the bike a couple of times.

@Steel_Virgin Non, tu n'es pas le seul. Je le trouve très bien pour apprendre du vocabulaire, mais à aucun moment il ne m'avait expliqué les règles de grammaire ou de conjugaison. Les cours de Babel sont mieux structurés, mais ont encore des lacunes.

J'ai fini par m'inscrire aux cours pour adultes de la Mairie de Paris et j'ai progressé bien plus vite qu'avec les deux applications.

@axx Hahaha, I had the same thought running through my mind when I saw Spotify Connect speakers on our co-working space's network.

@pOtiron J'ai quitté Spotify pour Deezer il y a deux semaines, j'en suis globalement content. La migration est assez simple, j'ai utilisé TuneMyMusic que Deezer promeut sur leur site

Oh, it turns out #Vercel enabled DDoS mitigation on my personal website, which I fear may have prevented some users to fetch the RSS feed (Vercel does not show the impacted path in their console, so I can only assume it may have happened).

I added a rule to make sure that requests to fetch the RSS feed bypasses DDoS Protection, hit me up if you are still unable to do so!

This has to be the first proof in a decade that #Qwant is actually building its own index

I bought a refurbished HP EliteBook with the goal to install Linux on it. Holly crap do HP make it absurdly difficult to change security settings! I had to set a BIOS password (which I never had to do before) and for every security setting changed, it shows a scary screen with vague indications on how to continue (you have to type the displayed code).
#Linux #HP #HewlettPackard

Oh yes, and it refused to boot after I opened the chassis to check the memory sticks : I had to unplug the battery, press and hold the power button for a minute, then plug back the battery, close the chassis, plug the AC and then power it on 😑

Dealing with Secure Boot was a chore as well: it refused to boot my Bluefin LiveUSB with Secure Boot disabled, I had to play with multiple security settings in order to disable Secure Boot. Once installed and the custom key enrolled, I thought re-enabling Secure Boot was enough: wrong! The "enable Microsoft CA" option has been disabled with Secure Boot, I had to re-enable it...

Wait a minute, there is a display calibration tool in #GNOME? You mean I don't have to use ugly hacks to get #DisplayCAL working?

Crap, it does not work either. Anyone know of a GUI for #ArgyllCMS?

Oof, je n'étais pas prêts pour les prix du concert de #NineInchNails à #Paris : ça commence à 115€ 😭

Je les aime beaucoup, mais pas à ce point. Il ne me reste plus qu'à espérer qu'ils fassent in festival cet été.

@matuzo I really love my Sony WH1000-XM4. Very comfortable, good noise canceling, wide ear cups (important for big ears!) and high quality codec on Android.

@macdonst @matuzo I would just add that you should try it beforehand as I find the ear cups to be rather small for my ears.

Non mais le comportement des automobilistes à #Paris, ça devient n'importe quoi.

Sinon, 10 minutes avant, j'ai ma montre Garmin qui a cru que j'ai eu un accident, inquiétant inutilement ma compagne qui est contact d'urgence.

Alors, l'accident est bien listé dans les "Activités" du jour, mais il n'y a aucune indication sur ce qui a déclenché l'alerte et encore moins d'option pour indiquer à Garmin que c'est un faux-positif...

Ah, super, ça s'est déclenché ce matin pratiquement au même endroit. Je comprends pas, je passe par là tous les jours sans aucun soucis, et en moins de 24h ma montre me fait deux faux-positif...

Someone just sent me this joke of an article that suggests designing websites for "AI Agents" rather than for disabled users, because they will soon use AI to browse the web and "transform content and features to their specific needs".

I wonder how the #Firefox #ToS impact forks. For example, I use @zenbrowser, do the new ToS apply?

@epistosphere Bonne question, je viens de regarder sur mon poste (qui lui passe les vérifications) et quand je clique pour copier-coller les détails il semble se baser sur plein de critères avec des sévérités plus ou moins importantes

@arstechnica I don't know, even though Valve are pushing Steam OS they still treat all their platforms equally, and I don't think asking gamers to replace their OS or buy a new PC in order to play Half-Life 3 is a good marketing strategy. Half-Life Alyx is a great example: as great a game it is, few people actually bought VR headsets to play it.

@DP0 @arstechnica I know, I use Linux daily myself, but even dual boot installation requires know-how I'm not sure most gamers have, even with the simplest installer available (like Ubuntu's)

@DP0 @arstechnica AFAIK there is no installer for Steam OS yet, only recovery images for the Steam Deck.

@DP0 @arstechnica Well, it's Arch-based but it's immutable, so little risk of breakage. And nowadays you can install almost everything youbwould want through Flatpaks or Brew.

@MishaalRahman didn't Sony have the same idea 10 years ago? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSC-QX100

@MishaalRahman Oh yes, I believe the Sony one used Wi-Fi while this one uses pogo pins?

I just took a look into my employer's Vercel Firewall to discover that those #grifters of #Anthropic and #OpenAI account for respectively 13% and 4% of our traffic for the past 24h!

Time to add a rule to block them.

#AI #LLM #AIGrifters

I added the rule 15 minutes ago, the firewall already blocked 1,500 requests and counting for Claude alone. WTF...

Now that #Firefox has vertical tabs, I would probably migrate back from #ZenBrowser (which has been quite buggy for the past few weeks) if it was possible to display pinned tabs' titles like I do using the SuperPins mod https://zen-browser.app/mods/ad97bb70-0066-4e42-9b5f-173a5e42c6fc/

Last week, some niche streaming platform decided to drop support for #Firefox, which was odd to me as it still works fine once I set my User Agent to Chrome.

Turns out, they were planning a new "Premium" subscription with HDR, which Firefox does not support yet.

I get that they probably want to avoid users complaining that the feature they paid for does not work, but could they not just have put a banner that reads "HDR not supported on your browser" instead?

We just started playing Split Fiction with my partner, wow, it is an unforgiving game. And our lousy controllers sure aren't helping.

@Twitom @jorge The latest major version of Dash to Panel added an icon for donations in the panel (which can be easily removed from the extension's settings), some users did not like that at all and now the maintainer is looking for other people to take over.

Anyone got an alternative to Hacker News Digest with less AI Kool-aid? It's getting out of hands, half of the top articles has some LLM bullshit.

This line in Lemmy's changelog made me chuckle:

Also remove private messages when banning user with "remove content" (goodbye Nicole)

Have the #SplitFiction devs done playtests? Some levels are ridiculously difficult, how could they have left them in this state until release?

Stumbled upon this post from myself 10 years ago, it made me chuckle:

"Three years after starting to learn Java, I only now realize that there is no operator overloading. Three years, FFS"

I get why young Axel would have liked this feature back then, but nowadays I don't do much OOP anymore and I don't miss operator overloading.

#Chromium does not seem to "talk" to my screen reader on #Linux, is it expected behavior (they say Orca "may work" here https://www.chromium.org/user-experience/assistive-technology-support/), misconfiguration or a bug?

Weird, it does not work with Epiphany either (which is part of GNOME, it should work with Orca!). Does the issue lie with Flatpak's sandboxing? Which, again, is weird as Firefox is also a Flatpak and it works!

Well, turns out it was a lack of Flatpak permission: adding "org.a11y.Bus" to Session Bus using Flatseal fixed everything!

Bilan de cette première #JournéeSansÉcran très positive. On a eu beaucoup plus de moments de qualité avec ma copine et ça nous a permis de nous apercevoir qu'on ne manque pas grand chose sans nos téléphones. On songe même à revoir nos habitudes : plus de téléphone le soir et au lit par exemple.

No way, you have to pay for #Switch2 "Edition" upgrades for existing Switch games? Or is it only for Mario Party Jamboree?

This is the "hey, our console can run AAA third-party games now!" section of the #NintendoDirect.
#Switch2

My #NintendoDirect conclusion: it looks like a nice console, but I have yet to be convinced by the exclusive games shown today to consider buying a #Switch2.

Just saw the price of the console and games in France, it's an even harder sell now, especially knowing that Nintendo rarely drop their prices 😬

@jbqueru Have you tried the flatpak? In my experience Flatpaks work better than snaps, but it doesn't auto-update on Ubuntu (though you could write a systemd timer to do that)

The wl-clipboard package is so underrated. I love using it to manipulate strings using terminal utilities.

Things like removing a certain character:
wl-paste | tr -d "\n" | wl-copy

Or pretty-printing JSON:
wl-paste | json_reformat | wl-copy

In fact I made a few useful aliases using wl-clipboard: https://github.com/axeleroy/setup/blob/master/config/.aliases

If you are wondering what are "print_n_copy" and "arg_or_paste", they are functions I have defined here: https://github.com/axeleroy/setup/blob/master/config/.functions

I fucking hate BIOS updates that just trashes every settings. Gone are my custom fan curves, boot order and Wake-on-LAN settings. And now I'm stuck with freaking Windows refusing to shut down (I did not want to boot windows in the first place!)

I'd rather read the prompt

What does this #Javascript code output?

const array = ['1', '2', '3', '4'];
console.log(array.map(parseInt));

If you guessed "[1, NaN, NaN, NaN]", congrats!

TIL that `array.map(parseInt)` is the same as `array.map((value, index) => parseInt(value, index))` where `index` acts as `parseInt`'s `radix`! And in this case, it leads to mapping to NaN after the first item.

@mijndert Yep, the title card at the end reads "Captured on PS5", and the folks at Digital Foundry analyzed the first trailer and were 99% sure it was real-time rendering.

@oldsysops Je suis assez content de mon APC Back UPS série BX. Tu peux notamment le monitorer par USB (pour éteindre un ordinateur quand la batterie est presque vide).

Yesterday I made a compulsive buy and finally bought myself a used #PSVita so I can play Hotline Miami (among others) on the go!
With this acquisition, I have now owned every PlayStation up to (and including) the PS4.
#RetroGaming?

@mijndert Yes, I love mine, it's a Spider-Man 3 Edition (red faceplate, black buttons and back). It needs a lot of care though (new stick, screen, faceplate and battery door)

I can't believe I missed out on #Tearaway, it's such a lovely game. Other #PSVita games I should check out?

The dark side of account bans

"I recently lost my Facebook account for two months, and was significantly cut off from certain aspects of society during that time. This is the dark side of account bans."

https://madelinemiller.dev/blog/dark-side-account-bans/

Am I sane for finding DuckDB so much easier to use for filtering and aggregating data than spreadsheets?

I just disassembled my #PSP to change its screen, turns out it needs more repairs than anticipated in order to return it to a good state. To the point that I'm hesitating to continue my endeavor, as I already put over 70€ into it. For comparison, I bought my used PS Vita 120€.

I would need to purchase a new charging port (about 17€ off eBay if I want something shipped from Europe and not China) and side trim (about 30€ from the US)

Oh, Vercel just published a managed firewall ruleset to block AI Bots. I guess I can delete that draft that's been sleeping since December.

Oh great, the hospital I went for a check-up has a patient portal that was not tested with #Firefox: I cannot open the Doctor's report.

What's the bug? The front-end downloads the PDF as a base64-encoded string and then instructs the browser to navigate to a data: URI.

Problem: Firefox has been blocking this behavior since late 2017: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2017/11/27/blocking-top-level-navigations-data-urls-firefox-59/

#WebDev #Testing #WebCompat

@flutergork Read the blog article. It's a behavior change *starting* with Firefox 59.

And MDN notes that all modern browser should block this behavior and linked to the previous blog article: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/URI/Reference/Schemes/data#security_issues

I can't believe that the head of ILM (of all FX houses!) honestly thinks this lazy demo is any good.

Happy #LoveDeathAndRobots release day to those who celebrate.

#Mozilla acquisitions of #Pocket and #FakeSpot never made any sense in the first place, and while I hate to see their respective users being left in the dust with their shutdown, I'm glad Mozilla have finally acknowledged that they must focus on #Firefox. It was about time.

Rejoice: I resurrected "Slack App In Tab" which allows you to seamlessly switch workspaces right in #Firefox!

Some background on this add-on: it was originally developed by Louis-Rémi Babé (who went MIA) and it disguises Firefox into ChromeOS. Because the latter can't run Electron apps, Slack will show you the workspace switcher!

As for Chrome support: first, you should migrate off of it; second, the issue that blocks this add-on from running on Manifest v3 only has been closes as "Won't fix"

My reaction to this article

Je viens d'avoir une interaction assez drôle à #vélo : je montais une rue bien pentue quand une passagère d'une voiture m'interpelle.
Elle : "C'est un vélo électrique ?"
Moi, essoufflé : "Non !"
Elle, à un autre passager de la voiture : "Tu vois, je te l'avais dit !"
Elle, à moi : "Bravo à vous ! Bonne journée !"
Puis elle et ses compagnons de route sont partis aussi vite 😳

Et je viens de me rendre compte que je me suis gouré : j'ai répondu "Non", pas "Oui", ce qui change complètement la conversation.

Happy Release of #NIN's Tron: Ares OST Day to those who celebrate
#TronAres #Music

@HTeuMeuLeu I personally do not hate Safari, just the fact that Apple ties its updates to iOS's (and because of that we cannot use newer, fancier stuff). And so far Apple has not put any effort for the past 15+ years to unbundle it from the OS so that it can be updated from the App Store, something Google has done 10 years ago.

TIL that as power supplies age, their output voltage can drift. Case in point: my router's power supply outputting 26V... where it's rated for 12!

Fortunately the switch works with a brand new power supply (I'm not brave enough to try fixing the faulty one)

#TIL #electronics

@vk3kri True, but thankfully it did not fry the switch!

Hey people, don't forget to check that your backups contain what you intend to restore *before* attempting to restore them.

Yep, I deleted a folder, thinking it was backed-up, only to discover that it was actually not!

Hey dear #FrontEnd friends, is there a way to deal with fonts with different heights? I want to use a fancy handwritten font alongside a serif one, but the former is so tiny compared to the later.

Or are there font libraries that help finding fonts which heights match?

#WebDev #AskFedi #Fonts

@chriskirknielsen It works regarding the font size, but the line heights are messed up

@mikemccaffrey @chriskirknielsen I did try that first, but as I wanted to use a different font for headings, it requires me to specify sizes for every heading level. I find Chris's solution to be much more practical.

@chriskirknielsen Yes, it works! You're a life saver. It won't look as neat on Safari, but it's not a deal-breaker.

@chriskirknielsen It's okay, I have GNOME Web which uses WebKit and is a pretty good approximation for Safari.

I have been playing with #Astro for the past two days, and so far I'm liking it.

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/google-calendar-links-to-ics/

@lexinova Well, nowadays in Google Calendar you can only export your entire calendar as an ICS, not single events. This add-on tackles "Add to Google Calendar" links, which pre-fill the new event UI in Calendar (and this UI is behind an auth-wall)

Ever since I saw that blog post, I was like "Hey, can I create an adblock filter to disable scroll fading?".

Since I had filters for common smooth-scrolling, I split them into their own list and added a few rules that disables the most common scroll fade libraries:

https://github.com/axeleroy/filters/blob/main/scrolling.txt

@db Yes, and it won't be able to block implementations that are bundled with the rest (like react-fade). But if they use classes or data-attributes to determine which blocks to fade, they can be removed (in uBlock Origin at least)

@axx Well, it depends on how demanding the games you play are. Pre-PS5 games generally run fine, some with graphics downgrades. Overall I am very happy with my Deck, the battery life is quite decent and the OLED screen is simply gorgeous (I don't believe its competitors have as good looking screens)

@ff00aa @axx

> I read recently that Steam doesn't intend to release a new one soon,

Yes, Valve engineers stated that they are waiting for an APU with a significant performance uplift compared to the current Deck, as for now newer APUs have mostly brought iterative gains.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116026335290489717

"It’s worth noting that a C compiler is a near-ideal task for semi-autonomous AI model coding: The specification is decades old and well-defined, comprehensive test suites already exist, and there’s a known-good reference compiler to check against. Most real-world software projects have none of these advantages. The hard part of most development isn’t writing code that passes tests; it’s figuring out what the tests should be in the first place."

The last sentence matters A LOT.

Another interesting quote:

« Carlini reports that toward the end of the project, fixing bugs and adding features “frequently broke existing functionality,” a pattern familiar to anyone who has watched a codebase grow beyond the point where any contributor fully understands it. »

Je suis ce qu'on appelle un "expert généraliste" : je m'adapte à tout sujet et technologie, bien que ces derniers temps j'apprécie grandement TypeScript. Je me définis comme ingénieur full-stack avec une appétence plutôt front, car c'est là où j'ai le plus d'impact sur l'expérience utilisateur. Par ailleurs, j'ai déjà travaillé en étroite collaboration avec des équipes produit et l'accessibilité web est mon cheval de bataille depuis deux ans.

MPs ouverts et mon CV est là https://axel.leroy.sh/cv

How's your weekend? I spent part of yesterday and today replacing libraries with custom code, just so I could shave 7KB (zipped) off from one of my add-ons.

@reed My experience in the past few month has been mostly negative:
- On one occasion the company gave no feedback on it after they declined to pursue the process based on the exercise.
- For another, I had 2 hours to build a complete full-stack app, complete with good UX. Too little time IMO, unless you use LLMs and component libraries.
- Yet another gave me a skeleton of their entire app, gave me ~6-9 hours to add features. I withdrew my candidacy because the stack felt needlessly complex and…

@reed … I could not be bothered to spend the time.
- Not to forget a live coding exercise to code tic-tac-toe and sudoku solvers that felt extremely distant from my day-to-day tasks.

I believe the best "exercise" I had so far, was simply an open conversation on how I would implement multiple features.

It is really refreshing to see real humans perform at a concert, especially as I have spent the past week reading, writing and hearing about LLMs. I should see performing arts more often.

Yet another reason to leave #Vercel: your code is opted in by default to train their own LLM. FFS, I really need to move off their enslopified platform.

“Techno-Negative”: Why refusing AI is a fight for the soul - Rest of World

"The Internet has healed" must be my favourite comment under the teaser for @tomscott 's new show
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz3lSKgz4q8

@firefoxwebdevs Something I noticed in the example is that if the browser does not support CloseWatcher, the "Close" button does not work.
I get that the button's event listener calls watcher.close() for demonstration purposes, but I feel that in production it would be more appropriate to call closeSidebar() instead, maybe the accompanying text should reflect that?

@firefoxwebdevs Also of note: on Firefox for Android Beta 149.0b10, the "Close" button works, but it does not intercept the back gesture, returning to the previous page instead. Chrome behaves as expected.

Since January, many people have asked my opinion on #AI and #LLM. Rather than repeating myself, I originally went to write a small article, which ultimately turned into a ~2800 words piece:

For Pete's sake, LinkedIn!

The amount of hand-holding and guidance you have to provide to LLMs in order to keep them from spewing inaccessible HTML is quite ridiculous. Gotta admit though that setting up a CI to catch these issues is a good idea, whether you use LLM or not.

Follow up on my attempt to play The Last of Us PS3 with a modern controller.
I bought a Brooks Wingman adapter but it did not work and I returned it.
Turns out the "solution" was dumping the game using my newly-hacked PS3 and running it on my PC using RPCS3 🤪
It runs fine (with a couple of hiccups) after a few tweaks, and I even get to play with a higher resolution!

Welp, that's it, a bot finally discovered my Forgejo instance and is browsing entire commit histories... Well, for now it's wasting time going through an old fork of Lemmy, but I should set up something.

Thankfully, I discovered that the day after @forgejo's v15 release, which only sets the "session" cookie for authenticated users, so I am able to configure Caddy so it rate-limits unauthenticated visits \o/

I need to tweak my rate-limiting config as it is not effective against those scrapers. What did though, was blocking requests with the header "Accept-Language: zh-CN"
Gotta go play Badminton, I'm already late

Since the scapers were spreading their request over multiple IPs (making it more difficult to enforce rate limits) I ended up adding a geoblocking module to Caddy and blocked Alibaba's ASN. This solution has the nice side effect of allowing me to easily block other cloud providers in the future.

Got curious to see if Motorstorm Pacific Rift would run well on a Steam Deck using RPCS3.
It is playable, but not perfectly smooth: framerate oscillates around 20 FPS with drops to 15 and rare flashes at 30 FPS. There are no visual glitches to report and it looks sharp once dynamic resolution scaling is turned off.
Nice experiment, but I think the experience would be far better on my desktop.

Just saw #ProjectHailMary, it has to be the best sci-fi movie I have ever seen (apart from BTTF ❤️).
My only gripe is how unrealistic it is for a new spaceship to be designed and built in months. I mean, even with unlimited funds it took multiple years to build Saturn V.

Finally took the time to upgrade my #TrueNAS setup at home, from 24.10 to 25.04. I was about to upgrade to 25.10 when I read that my GPU (a cheap GT 710) was no longer supported.
Welp, that upgrade will have to wait for the Intel A310 I ordered.

[...] les évolutions mais clairement un manque de culture et de formation sur l'accessibilité chez les équipes de développement et l'absence de tests automatisés qui détectent ces régressions.

Mes plans de l'après-midi : aller à la piscine.
Ce que le destin a choisi : m'envoyer dans une boutique de mon FAI acheter une nouvelle jartiere fibre, celle dont je dispose ayant rendu l'âme 🫠

Mon après-midi est sauvée ! Au final, un technicien a arraché ma fibre en ouvrant la porte du tiroir dans le palier, je suis tombé sur lui en sortant de chez moi et il a réparé ma fibre.

Sans que je ne sache pourquoi, une heure après le rétablissement de la connexion, c'est au tour de mon NAS de freezer... alors que j'étais dehors.
Je reviens, ventilateurs qui tournent à fond, aucun retour vidéo, pas de réponse lorsque j'appuie sur les boutons d'alimentation, j'ai dû couper l'alimentation.
Une fois redémarré, aucun signe avant-coureur : températures OK, utilisation CPU normale... Je vais quand même faire un check ZFS pour voir.

Why is ArchiveBox such a pain to set up? I have been trying to deploy it for over an hour now, and it keeps returning an HTTP 503 (without even logging why!)
