A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.

Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.

As I updated the version to 1.4.0 , adding the 'import' feature I am sharing this here.

I made this extension because I couldn't find one that wouldn't ask for too much permissions (such as accessing all websites data).

Eventually I found it nice to have a TOTP that can really be audited, the code is 649 lines of JS, 214 CSS and 52 HTML. Feel free to fork, copy part of it, contribute or just request fix/features.

I have used it for more than a year every day and it works nicely.

This is (another!!) one of Drew Devault's projects. Like harelang, it would be a gigantic simplification of existing software. And yes, it is written in harelang.

It was originally a test to see whether harelang could be used for OS development. (It can.)

Does anyone know why there are no dedicated Authenticator apps made by for example Proton or Bitwarden?

I’m aware that they have TOTP baked into their password managers but you still need to have at least one separate solution to log into your vault.

Basicallly the only vialable nitter altnerative I'm aware of at the moment, biggest downsides being you need a twitter account and you can only access it through android, but it does offer the abillity to see your feed in an rss style, aka no recommendations, which is very useful if you only need to follow a few remaining twitter accounts and don't want to wade through a sea of Elon's spicy memes in between the accounts you actually follow.

So over the years (decade?) I've used Ventoy a lot. For those not aware, it is basically a live USB that you can add other ISOs to to boot into those. Usually overkill but incredibly useful for those days when you need diagnostics, a simple terminal, and then to install something what you actually want.

But... it feels like I run into corner cases and issues with ventoy more often than not. Proxmox or Fedora or whatever decide to do something even slightly different and then I need to upgrade ventoy and blah blah blah. Also... I am not the most comfortable with downloading anything from Sourceforge these days. Let alone something that is going to have a LOT of power over whatever machines I provision.

So I suspect the real answer is to either set up a way to network boot (although, not all machines support that) or buy like five cheap USB drives and put them on a keychain and not over-complicate things.

But if I DID want to over-complicate them.. is there anything better than Ventoy these days?

Thanks

Update Mar 4: Reported it here.

There is this bug with the Nextcloud menu bar that, when you collapse it, there is a moment of jank where everything is overlapped, and the corner is sharp and looks bad.

At first, I thought I'd report it in the nextcloud/tasks app where I saw it but then I noticed (as you can see in this video) that it also happens in contacts and files.

Nextcloud has plenty of problems but I use it regularly and want to do my part to improve the polish. It shouldn't be terribly hard to update the css transitions to make a less jank experience for tons of people. I reported a similar tiny janky CSS issue in tasks here today (yay).

This comes after seeing some posts (which I can't find now) about software quality that inspired me to try to improve a few things that have bothered me. Yay FOSS :)

At first, I thought nextcloud/server might be the place to report it, but that is a super busy repo. I tried digging through the related issues but don't see anything that jumps out at me as the problem. If I open a low-priority issue like this there, it probably won't get looked at. At the same time, if I spend time digging in and finding a fix without discussion, there is a decent chance it'll either be already fixed or considered not important enough to review among the 100s of open PRs.

Anywhoo, this turned out more of me writing this all just to realize I should probably give them the benefit of the doubt and open an issue even if I'm not totally sure it's the right place but I'll still post the question here: How would you go about finding the right place to report this and maybe even get a fix in? Or maybe have some related stories to share?

Basically I want a way to plan out my routine and stuff to accomplish on days of the week, like do X on Friday. I tried Planner but it seems to not have something like my latter example.

I want to share some images securely with self destruct. Is there any alternatives can do what Unsee.cc does excluding chat?

So the functions I'm looking for:

  • Self-expiring image
  • Copy protection
  • Store in RAM
  • (optional) watermarking
  • (optional) share more types of documents like PDF

Thanks in advance.
