Brave can make micro payments to content creators based on the number of views to the site, directly supporting content creators without ads or the need to join the patreon for each creator. It’s a fully optional system, off by default but prompted upon opening the browser for the first time. It’s a cool idea but they kind of spoiled it by making it be a crypto wallet with ads to earn the crypto.
Also, Brave doesn’t have a subscription…?
Honestly, despite the crypto, good on Brave browser for trying to subvert the advertising model by providing an actual monetization alternative
The WinAmp maybe sorta open-sourcing is interesting. I’ve never used it (aside from downloading it to get MilkDrop working in Foobar2000).
These names are really fun! Good ones to add to my list…
Cool to see the Immich team going full time. I don’t use it personally but I hear great things
You mean like git sparse-checkout? Admittedly experimental but useful
Do you mean admonitions? E.g. info, warning, etc? There’s precedent for that in commonly-used open source implementations, e.g. obsidian.md (which uses the same syntax, and started before). What semantics does it break? It’s designed to read well in plaintext and render nicely even if used in a renderer that doesn’t support admonitions, e.g.
[!NOTE] Information the user should notice even if skimming.
As opposed to other common markdownish implementations that use nonsensical plaintext which renders poorly in alternative renderers. Here’s a discussion on the topic in the CommonMark forums.
Also, I was just looking this morning at writing something like that Fitbit/influxDB integration for YNAB (You Need a Budget) for visualization in grafana!
I usually don’t pay much attention to the “new software” section, but PerPlexed looks pretty cool! It never occurred to me that it would be possible to create an alternative Plex UI from scratch like that
I read the book but I never watched the show - is it worth?
You should reach out to the authors! I have no clue how they create their “new” section
Also, that CLI trick is crazy! Never knew that and I’m a fairly proficient shell user.
Anyone use authentik? Seems useful, most of my homelab services are unsecured ATM (just local only/vpn)
The thought of colocating my homelab is intriguing… But also sounds like way too much effort and money
Also, I like the “alternative to” blogs in https://blog.while-true-do.io/spotlight-alternatives-for-google-dns/?ref=selfh.st - it’s an interesting series.
Spotted homepage on there - might switch my dashboard from Homarr to that, give it a try. Anyone used it (or other dashboarding software) before?
Also never seen BaseRow before - anyone used that over NocoDb? Comparisons?
Just discovered OliveTin - I was thinking about writing something like this ages ago, but was always too concerned about security. Anyone ever use it or anything else similar?
Nice to see that BitWarden’s UI is getting some love… I tried using it a while back but couldn’t get past the terrible UX. Been happy with 1password since but maybe I’ll try switching again…
Lol chill, I use Firefox. I can still call out good things in other browsers even if I don’t like the browser as a whole for other reasons. None of what I said there was in support of chromium.
