- I've found https://remark42.com/ works well with static sites, and has plenty of user login options.
But, the solution I've been looking for/prototyping is one that lets people comment from the Fadiverse, so it will also double as a feed. Nothing to show yet, but one-day maybe.
- I can relate.
This also made me think of this article Are you playing to win or playing to play (https://commoncog.com/playing-to-play-playing-to-win/) which is about doing things that aren't necessary to achieve the goal, but which you do to feel like you've done it right (as opposed to objectively doing it right).
An example from the article is someone who doesn't want to win at Street Fighter using throws, because they are seen as cheap: "Throwing violates the rules in their heads even though it doesn't violate any actual game rule"
Saving you potions feels like a rule derived from efficiency or frugality, trading off leveraging the resources you have.
Lots of mind traps here.
- It does the job very nicely, and I can easily embed on-the-fly generated images. Not sure there is a better option in the Java ecosystem.
Thanks for your long lived contribution.
- I've used flying saucer pdf[1] for this in the past, but the missing piece always seems to be a descent WYSIWYG template editor. Either open source or paid.
Any suggestions on a web solution that allows non-devs to make great templates would be appreciated.
Historically I've built something simple with Tiny and added a preview button to render, but that super clunky.
- These are some reflections on what different products we integrate with provide to users of their APIs. Definitely not meant to be a best practice guide, rather some food for thought if you're building or comparing competing APIs.
- I've got a Dell 7490, which works great for development, and you can upgrade the SSD and RAM, but, suspend is unreliable.
TBH, the only issue I've had with any of my laptops in Linux (Dell and IBM/Lenovo) is suspend. Which actually makes me think power management in general might be busted.
I'd be interested to know if there is a methodical way to diagnose these issues? Every howto just seems to be a mishmash of kernel flags to try, which seems chaotic, and gets frustrating when the issue is intermittent.
- I'm still trying to understand how this works at a functional level.
I see you can find reviews via ActivePub services, like Mastodon, but you can only post from BookWyrm instances? i.e., you can't have one federated social identity that can post reviews and post other fediverse content?
When I've looked, a sole trader with liability and cyber insurance seemed reasonable (maybe $2k/yr), but a Pty ltd with the same would probably be safer ($5k/yr).
It all comes down to what the risk of being sued is though. I'm sure selling games wouldn't require this.
