I use Linking. It's quite good and actually being developed.

Also if you didn't want to do a hx-confirm, you could pop up a separate modal on button press. And then when the delete is pressed in the modal use a hx-target to update the specific row.

There are a lot of words the author used to simply say, "I'm going to start my pet project, which I also believe is going to fail very soon for a number of reasons"

Not much actual good content here.

Thank you for this. I had no idea this series existed! It's exactly the level of info I want when picking up a new topic!

And bonus is my local library stocks many of them!

HTMX has a complimentary framework like alpinejs called Hyperscript [0]. (On second thought not exactly like alpine..)

also

    @net use Z: \\administrators

Would achieve the same effect :)

The real image loads faster for me than the fake one. So I just click the first picture and it's correct.

Is that by using that radarr watchlist integration?

I use materialistic also, but as far as I'm aware that hasn't been an update to the app in years. In addition I believe the materialistic app listing on Google Play is also been removed.

Do you have some updated version that I'm unaware of?

budafish | 3 years ago | on: To uncover a deepfake video call, ask the caller to turn sideways

100% agree. Made me feel a bit nauseous.

Wait. Is this true? As in they have laws they just don't enforce them?

Use the integrated logging handler. That's all you need.

budafish | 4 years ago | on: Show HN: BookStack – An open source wiki platform and alternative to Confluence

Some time ago I was trying to transition to platform to help me capture my own personal notes and organise my knowledge. BookStack was a good front runner, but I think the lack of mobile editing along with the hassle of upgrades made me end up using Notion.

Now by all means notion isn't perfect at all, but for me who just wanted to start writing notes it seems the right choice at the time.

I would like to switch to BookStack as it looks great and is a great product, but the one issue that worries me is when it comes to upgrades and migrations. Generally I found when upgrading database based platforms I end up messing up hugely causing myself a huge headache, and then eventually not upgrading at all. For example I used Monica CRM, and totally botched the upgrades eventually just closing it down and using Google contacts instead.

If there was an easy way to solve for that I'd definitely be on board with self-hosting it myself. But at the moment I just don't have the time to resolve upgrade issues :(

(on mobile) You could use Nimssequence iterators

[x.name for x in someList if x.age > 5]

Is the same as:

x.filterIt(it.age > 5).mapIt(it.name)

In a way it reads better.

budafish | 4 years ago | on: GNU nano is my editor of choice

From the faq.

Does micro support Vi keybindings?

Currently micro does not have any sort of Vim emulation. However, this is the next major feature that is planned, so stay tuned.

budafish | 4 years ago | on: GNU nano is my editor of choice

I've been a really big fan of Micro[1]. A single binary with excellent out of the box features. Mouse mode, syntax highlighting, tabs etc
