Wait are you saying that with the example your provided your password for Lemmy would be catlemmy-Dog5? Because that's a terrible system.

That's the one I use as well and it gets rid of the sign in popup without breaking or blocking other Google sites.

Gabe was in the office during the Scranton Strangler police chase (assuming that was the real strangler that got caught).

In Firefox there's an option to copy links without site tracking. Kinda wish it was the default behaviour.

Song.link is the simplest I know of and seems to work pretty well. Just go to song.link/YOUR_TRACK_URL. For example

https://song.link/https://music.apple.com/album/never-gonna-give-you-up-2022-remaster/1624945511?i=1624945512

will take you to this page https://song.link/i/1624945512 with links to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube and what not.

Bonus tip: if you're on macOS and use Velja there's an option to automatically convert all copied music links to songlink.

Reeder, my favorite RSS reader, seems to be compatible according to this.

Why is there an iMac under iOS?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That's pretty much the same size as an iPhone 15 Pro. Not even close to the size of the mini.

Just use a password manager and a unique, long, random generated password for every site. There's no need or reason to know the password to anything other than your password manager and your primary email.

Porkbun is awesome. A few months ago I transferred most of my domains from Namecheap to Porkbun and I’ll be transferring the rest soon.

Namecheap are still in my top 3 after Porkbun and Cloudflare though.

I've never been entirely happy with automated switching so I just use a keyboard shortcut to switch manually between light and dark when I feel like it but this looks good.

 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2919904

The NightOwl application has existed since 2018 and is used to automatically switch between light/dark modes on the operating system. It is an alternative to the built in macOS automatic mode which only switches when the user steps away from the computer.

However, the application has been bought out by “TPE.FYI LLC” in late 2022 that forcibly joins your devices into a botnet for use of market research, without your knowledge (other than the TOS in small text on the download page) or express consent (this feature cannot be turned off, even when the app is quit). This is documented in their terms of service.

I really doubt an automated database dump is going to hurt them a whole lot. However, if you're looking to eliminate everything you've ever posted (and I mean everything, not just the few recent posts you see on your profile), redact.dev (possibly others too) can use that zip to find all your posts and comments and edit/delete them.

Now I'm not saying you should delete your data. I know many people believe that leaving it there benefits humanity as a whole or whatever, but if you are going to do it that's the only effective way.

 

Arc is no longer invite-only, although you still need an email to use it. Of course if you're not cool with that you can use any random throwaway.

 

Little Snitch 5 is only $20.7 on Bundlehunt right now.

 

Changes vs. 6.12.1

This is mainly a bug fix release, including also a minor security update. Other highlights:

  • We reverted docker from v23.0.6, introduced during Unraid OS 6.12 development, to v20.10.24, which is the latest patch release of docker used in Unraid OS 6.11. This to address increased memory usage and other issues discovered with docker.
  • A small necessary change to invoke our 'update_services' script whenever a WireGuard tunnel starts or stops is automatically applied to all 'config/wireguard/*.conf' files when you update via Update OS page. For manual update or if you downgrade, it is necessary to make a "dummy change" in a setting on the Settings/VPN Manager page and then click Apply.

Text Editors (lemmy.world)

TextEdit.app is alright, but sometimes you just need a little extra functionality. What is your text editor of choice and why?

I'll keep this post updated in order to create a comprehensive list for future reference. Don't want to play favorites so everything is in alphabetical order and three simple categories.


Free

Can't beat free, right? Here are some great options for the mighty fine price of zero dollars.

CotEditor

CotEditor is a lightweight plain-text editor for macOS written in Swift.

VimR

Free | Open Source | GitHub | Homebrew

Sometimes paid apps have more to offer. Here are some of the most popular options.

Sublime Text

Up-and-coming

Still a bit rough around the edges, these apps are in development but showing a lot of promise. Possibly your next favorite editor.

CodeEdit

Free | Open Source | Website | GitHub | Homebrew

A lightweight, natively built editor. Open source. Free forever. CodeEdit is currently in development and not yet ready for production use. You can test the latest alpha build if you would like, but be warned, you will find many bugs and incomplete features.

Pulsar

A Community-led hyper-hackable text editor, forked from Atom, built on Electron. Designed to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration.


The list is of course very incomplete, considering the amount of text/code editors available. Let me know what you use and I'll add it.

/c/macapps is pretty much what one might expect from the title - a community for macOS users to discuss and discover apps, find alternatives, get help, promote your own apps, etc.

The rules will be adapted as necessary as the community grows, but for now here are the basics:

  • No piracy. Links to cracked apps or incentivizing piracy will not be tolerated. I don't want to be the moral police, but this is simply not the place.

  • Try to be nice. Self explanatory.

  • Self-promotion is welcome, but please tag your posts. We're here to, among other things, discover new apps and that includes your new apps. By letting people know you're the developer you can actually get some valuable feedback.

I'm preparing some posts which I'll be publishing over the next few hours/days to get the ball rolling and make the place more welcoming.
