  • That’s sich a Mac answer it’s unbelievable.

    Describing “A project aimed to be agnostic of it’s environment” as a design mistake and not a inherent flaw of the OS is… Just wow.

    Remember in this thread it’s about the pro and con of Macos as interference hardware. This is a major flaw which comes baked into the hardware. I tested it and find it an unacceptable limitation. It’s important for others to know.

    To state “containerization is the issue” though… Just wow.



  • This got way longer than expected but the tldr is: foreign exchange is super complex and depends on a lot of factors which don’t matter to you as money user. I tried to give a few examples below.

    Plus: You’re mixing up two very different concepts:

    Fiat evaluation and purchasing power.

    First, money;

    “More worth” is a natural instinct but doesn’t reflect how the money market works: it’s a question of how much of that money is in circulation as well for example:

    1107650 CHF Million 19396,90 USD Billion

    (Source tradingeconomics.com ).

    So while it’s the CHF is slightly over value when compared one to one the picture is different when you look at total money available. Then you look at production capacity, glue creation and supply and demand for those currencies. All of this will flow into the price.


    The minimum wage discussion is a completely different one: here you need to compare minimum wage to the purchasing power of the area you are looking at and take into consideration how the tax and financial situation changes to be able to compare it.

    There’s for example concept called big Mac index which is a crude way of showing the difference: how much does MacDonald’s charge for their bullshit? They are everywhere and quite good at finding a acceptable local price.

    If you want to dive deeper a key word to look for is the Gini Index with which the wealth distribution is quantified. I’m not good enough to explain it well though.


    Now for the colors: design of money is the job of the nations (or unions) main bank to decide usually. The US seem to have the creativity of a washed down rock while others are more creative.

    The Euro money for example is designed with guardrails by each member country but color, size and form are fixed and optimized to be easily recognized even with various visual impediments, which I personally really like.





  • Hey,

    Person here who despises electron apps in part because of the memory footprint and in part because I don’t like neither chromium nor node.js - personal preference mainly.

    From your description I have the feeling that it’s unclear to your user base if electron is set or up to debate. There is only a thin line between “explaining” and “defending”.

    In terms of communication: “We’re using electron as foundation because it allows us to focus on development. We’ve considered alternatives like Tauri and XYZ and opted in favor of electron.”

    If there are situations that might make you rethink state those as well (“if someone provides a proof of concept via XYZ that an alternative is faster by y% while enabling us to still use (your core libraries and languages) we might consider a refactor.”

    If you’d engage with me after an electron rant on your codebase you’d just raise my hope that I might change your mind! Don’t give people hope, don’t feed the trolls and do your thing!

    Just please be honest with yourself: your app doesn’t use “50 to 60 MB”, it uses 500MBish on idle because of your choice. And that’s okay as long as you as developer say that it is.







  • Traefik and caddy were mentioned, the third in the game is usually nginxproxymanager.

    I’m using both traefik and nginx in two different setups. The nginxproxymanager can be configured via UI natively which makes checking configurations a bit easier.

    Traefik on the other hand is configured easily within the compose itself and you have everything in one place.

    This turned out to be tiresome though if you don’t have a monolithic compose file - that’s actually even hr history why I switched to npm in the first place.

    I don’t have any experience with caddy so can’t provide anecdotal insights there.


  • I really like it already so take this as an alternative, not as improvement:l. I don’t have a good eye for aesthetics anyway don’t his is more about structure.

    Personally I switched from a single dashboard to purpose driven hubs - I can’t imagine a situation where I need my infrastructure and my calendar at the same time regularly for example.

    Another point is context typing: your release checker is quite far away from your appointments and calendar. It looks to me to be sorted by content rather then function (i.e. it’s entertainment so it’s next to YouTube). The same is true for your interaction patterns. There is a lot of visual information which I’m sure you’ll rarely interact with but instead consume. And then there are clearly external links, both bottom left (opencloud, tooling) and top right (external media) in addition to your own self hosted content.

    My suggestion is therefore a process instead of a change: Note down when you consume which features of this awesome dashboard together for a few days. Then restructure the content of the whole dashboard based on your usage patterns - either as a new Monolith or even experimenting with splitting it.

    I even suggest using a different medium then your usage device (if it’s a desktop PC mainly use pen and paper, if it’s your laptop use your phone, if it’s your phone you use this dashboard on then you might have different problems :D)


  • You don’t! At least not in the sense that I’m aware of the JADE thing:

    JADE is nothing that is a strong work proven topic but came from social media to handle narcissistic people as a peer group.

    Your reactions are hostility and rejection based and how I understand you it’s your nerves that you want to preserve.

    For this in a professional work place there are multiple ways to deal with and even all of them at the same time, just from the top of my head:

    • Always go over your manager, make it his problem. “Dispatcher causes work for me by raising false claims/redundant questions - please resolve with their manager”
    • I’d call it business ghosting: answer and questions raised but but don’t go into any depth. “Correct, phone was not working due to no wifi.”
    • Work on yourself to detach your emotional connection: this is the toughest but also the most valuable one. It’s a fucking dispatcher who has his own problems and no other way to handle them then to try to use his environment as catalyst. My personal route is the framing “poor fucker, needs his routine and world to accept himself”. But also “this seems to be the only way he can feel important in front of himself” would work for me. Usually when I take pity with people I can’t get angry anymore about their behaviors.
    • Figure out what the true impact on your work performance is and handle that separately from the emotional connection. It’s absolutely normal to be annoyed and angry by the behavior you’ve described - detachment of impact and emotion can be a way forward.

    Hope this helps a bit!





  • Just as a heads-up: expect some pushback just for asking.

    In general buying accounts is frowned upon on all private trackers I’m aware of, including the rule to ban bought accounts on sight.

    Several private trackers give out VIP status for people buying seed boxes through them though I guess there are some where you’d get an account in the first place through this.

    It all depends on your goals. Personally I wouldn’t trust account sellers. I don’t see a way for them to get accounts without it being quite easily identifyable for the respective pages.

    Personally I went the “hard” route but never tried to push into the cabal tier private trackers.

    Just remember to not screw your account within the first hours by not taking care of your ratio and the trackers rules.
