A Reason to Call it GNU/Linux

2024-07-31

Linux isn't very Unix-like by itself. Of course, it's a Unix-like kernel, and it does Unix-compatible file operations, process management, and system calls, but without the GNU suite or some other userland, it is just a kernel which doesn't have to be used as a Unix-like one.

Cheap, homemade NAS with Raspberry Pi

2024-05-21

This is a very simple, cheap and quick way to get networked storage at home. It should not cost more than €120 for all the components (assuming you've got a network you can plug it into). It also offers more flexibility than a commercial NAS, because you can install any software you want on it. And if you already use the Raspberry Pi for something else, you can just add this to it and not worry about an extra device you need power, networking, space and maintenance for.

Let's write more semantic CSS

2024-05-18

You probably wrote something like this at least once in your life:

<div class="card card--rounded card--primary">
   <div class="card__image-container">
       <img src="image.jpg" alt="A nice image" class="card__image">
       <span class="card__image-caption">A nice image</span>
   </div>
   <div class="card__content">
       <div class="card__header">
           <div class="card__title">Hello, world!</div>
       </div>
       <p class="card__text">
           Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
       </p>
   </div>
   <div class="card__footer">
       <button class="btn btn--primary btn--raised btn--accent card__button card__button--primary">Click me!</button>
       <button class="btn btn--secondary btn--raised btn--accent card__button card__button--secondary">Click me!</button>
   </div>
</div>

Or this:

<div class="max-w-sm rounded overflow-hidden shadow-lg">
   <div>
       <img class="w-full" src="image.jpg" alt="A nice image">
       <span class="text-gray-500 text-base">A nice image</span>
   </div>
   <div class="px-6 py-4">
       <div>
           <div class="font-bold text-xl mb-2">Hello, world!</div>
       </div>
       <p class="text-gray-700 text-base">
           Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
       </p>
   </div>
   <div class="px-6 py-4">
       <button class="bg-blue-500 hover:bg-blue-700 text-white font-bold py-2 px-4 rounded">Click me!</button>
       <button class="bg-transparent hover:bg-blue-500 text-blue-700 font-semibold hover:text-white py-2 px-4 border border-blue-500 hover:border-transparent rounded">Click me!</button>
   </div>
</div>

Browsers are doing way too much nowadays

2024-05-07

Ooh, shiny! Chrome is now forcing me to view my bookmarks in a ✨side panel✨! It's not like we have windowing environments for that, right? Doesn't matter, it's modern, new so it's cool and automatically better even though it sucks!
