  • Not necessarily. Most plugins for Tauri support being configured on the JS side of things quite well. You can achieve a total HTML/CSS/JS or using a JS framewframework with very very minimal Rust code modifications.

    I dabbled in creating a GUI for password-store with Tauri and SvelteKit and managed to create everything without barely having to touch the Rust code. Of course, if you want to optimize and make it more efficient you’d probably want to port the code over to Rust as it’d most likely be a bit speedier for some tasks but in general you can go all the way in skipping the Rust partion of things!



  • This was my usecase when learning JS. I’ve always had a very very difficult time with programming and wrapping my head around those types of patterns. But with the help of AI I was able to get a quicker understanding and being able to ask followup questions, explain what different symbols do, nowadays I use it as a basic reference to get a starting point to some solutions while just being well versed enough to approach a lot of things on my own.

    I often try to switch around and experiment with different similar and potentially better approaches unless it’s giving me one of those responses that have been the most bogstandard straightforward way of doing it… because of a stackoverflow answer from 12 years ago. But those are often the more simpler queries. But each day I practice my programming I turn to search engines more and more to adapt similar problems to my own so the kickoff of using AI got me to the point where I had a stronger understanding of how things work in a practical learning method that worked really really well for me.

    I hate how great AI can be in some use cases while I also am part of the reason for excessive power usage of GPUs :( but I really don’t think I would’ve been able to get as far as I’ve come today without it.


  • The amount of this shit I’ve seen everywhere is ridiculous. Not too long back I saw a YouTube channel about ADHD called The Mini ADHD Coach, it was animated, well spoken, thorough about their own experiences regarding their childhood and societal differences, titles were a bit clickbaity but it’s YouTube so what is one to do? By the end and in the description they where shilling their book which was a glorified ADHD questionaire to answer the question of “Do you have ADHD?”. Basically a non-medical self assessment book based on the DSM and questions used in American evaluations.

    The book is priced 31 USD, added in it was some drawings and I guess some further explanations of the questions. Which you could just, search up and search explanations and definitions of words as well if you need.

    I have a strong distaste on how people are monetizing and trending neurodivergent disorders. It’s a disability, not your next money machine.


  • I’ve been with 1984.is for some time as well. They’re international domain is 1984.hosting. I’ve also had contact with their support and they’re friendly, knowledgeable and straight on point.

    I had to transfer my domain and they wanted the domain key. Not wanting to send that over insecure email asked if they have a GPG key and told me they do, sent me a link to their site to get it and a specific mail to send it to which I then was able to send over. The process of contacting them and getting everything set was very speedy and I felt in good hands.




  • There is not. But I’d say keep SSH closed on the NAS or whitelist only your local IP in the firewall. I do that and turn it off when I don’t need it. It can be a bit risqué messing about with SSH on Synology because of how funky they’ve made the distro it’s running and any changes you make might not persist on reboot or after updates.


  • It’s basically a front-end GUI to Docker, like how some use Portainer. Synology has pretty alright documentation here. If you’re on mobile, click the menu button on the top right to view the sub-pages for the docs, was confusing at first to find what more it had to say about it lol.

    But in short, to spin up individual containers you can go to the “Container” page. But there’s a big lack of control because Synology so I recommend to use Docker Compose under “Projects” for more fine grained control if needed. When you start a project you have to select a location for the project files and you can use dot notation for sub directory and files when doing volume mounting, eg. ./nginx/config:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf.

    There’s a lot to read on for containers in general and working with them on Synology is a tad different and sometimes a lot of hoops to jump through. But it’s definitely nicer in the end than running almost anything outside of Synology’s Office Suite through it!





  • A Burton on a page should be legally mandated for web services imo. I was meaning in a very broad sense however, even with phone subscriptions or magazines, TV, anything really.

    I hope the EU could hammer in such a legislation. Here I’ve had a prime trial once or twice, I barely ever order anything from Amazon and both times I could cancel it via their web page after digging through their menus a bit.

    My country has very good consumer laws regarding this. If you in any officially way contact them, either to a company address through a letter, phone, email or chat, they have to legally process it. I’ve toyed around with the idea to contact some shitty companies in the worst manner possible but haven’t gotten around to it lol
