I write a ton of SQL. I never use my CapsLock key.

SQL doesn't need to be upper case, in fact I loathe upper case SQL.

Yeah that's a common one. If you're into mechanical keyboards, there are a lot of keycap sets that offer an alternative Control key for the CapsLock position.

Personally I rebind it to Super (Winkey). I have a couple of keyboards without Windows keys, so I can still have a Super key and don't miss out on some handy shortcuts.

Yeah I remember those early days. KDE had a 1.0 version out in the late 90s, which was perfectly usable as a standalone desktop environment, while at the same time Gnome was little more than a panel with a foot. Early Gnome was an unholy mess and remained so until the late 2.x versions in the mid 2000s. Like how many window managers and file managers did they go through? I believe they even had Enlightenment as the default window manager for a while, and then there was that weird Ximian desktop phase.

Pixel phone which doesn’t let you install CA certs any more

Is that something new? I can still install CA certs on my Pixel 6. It does give a scary warning, but you can just click through it.

I don't think it's possible with the current theming method.

You can use the wildcard domain

Yeah the problem was more that this machine is running on a network where I don't really control the DNS. That is to say, there's a shitty ISP router with DHCP and automatic dynamic DNS baked in, but no way to add additional manual entries for vhosts.

I thought about screwing with the /etc/hosts file to get around it but what I ended up doing instead is installing a pihole docker for DNS (something I had been contemplating anyway), pointing it to the router's DNS, so every local DNS name still resolves, and then added manual entries for the vhosts.

Another issue I didn't really want to deal with was regenerating the TLS certificate for the nginx server to make it valid for every vhost, but I just bit through that bullet.

Probably not. There are no implementations that I'm aware of that work well on a Linux guest.

Ok, so you don't know what FUD means.

[-] SpaceCadet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I evaluated both when I chose this solution several years ago. Don't ask me why I chose one over the other though, I don't remember.

[-] SpaceCadet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

It probably wasn't such a concern back in 1971. I mean, even nowadays you still find programs where you can just add a login password to the command line.

Pretty much yeah
