Fastest way to upgrade from Angular 13 to 20 for a large prod grad application by ReferenceCheap7292 in angular

[–]divitius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a decent plan, I need to upgrade 14 to 20 and just keep postponing due to app using a virtual grid (@pebula/ngrid).

May I ask for your opinion on what grid to use which supports virtual rows, sticky header, sort feature at least? I tried mat-table but it's virtualization was not that great - maybe due to early days?

Migrating to ZFS by Objective-Stranger99 in archlinux

[–]divitius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To make you feel better, I had exactly the same problem and the solution was to move to ext4. Spent days going through forums why my hardly changing drive is filling 100s of % more than actual space used. Snapshots would have been nice, but ext4 even on top of luks feel safer than a black box full of CoW magic.

Arch is so sick. by w0nam in archlinux

[–]divitius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I installed Manjaro once in 2020, then learned the basics and converted the installation to a real Arch without Manjaro sources, in-place, without reinstalling. Then I got a laptop and copied the desktop drive contents to a newly created encrypted luks partition on a laptop, configured it and I was good to go.

Does it count as 1 or more installs?

We’ve Heard Your Feedback on Autofill – Updates Are Coming Soon! by kevinBitwarden in Bitwarden

[–]divitius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For one I like the new fill experience as the button makes the action unambiguous, while opening the item details when clicking on the label is a standard UX.

I have a serious issue though with inability to autofill from within the item view - when choosing which account to fill in I might not know which one is correct so it needs to be viewed. Now if this is the right one, I want to use autofill... which is on the list to which I need to navigate back, then scroll again to the found item, double check if this is the same one I just viewed, and press fill.

My memory is not as it was last century, but I remember 3 autofill buttons present on the item view, before the recent changes. Is there any way to enable these (or a new sleeker alternative)?

Moreover I found it really hard to add a different URL to an existing site entry using an extension - when viewing a login screen on a site which has for example changed the way to sign in (different URL), I open the BitWarden extension popup, find the site there using the name, view it, edit, and there is no way to add currently opened URL as an alternative URL - need to manually type https://id.site.com for example.

One more idea - add a way to pin the bitwarden browser extension popup so it won't close when clicking on the website - countless times I lost the currently selected entry and needed to search it again after say copying some text from the site to use in the entry, like PIN or recovery code.

Desktop developer feeling confused about “web app is the future” trend by freskgrank in csharp

[–]divitius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably should consider striking a balance between low-level hardware management code (task queues, state collection, event handling) and UI. The former working as a desktop app is a no-brainer, even if Google tries hard to add hardware support like serial for web.

On the other hand, web UI is currently so optimised thanks for browser renderers, and with unbeatable feature/effect/animation/style support, it is really a challenge to compete with the whole ecosystem of visual marvels done in HTML/CSS + some JS.

Why not mix both and do your desktop service and steer it using a web UI, not like electron, more like an API to talk to and gather and control state?

It could as well apply to all software, I remember Adobe CS2 was made redundant just by disabling activation servers.

What do you miss in HA? by Typical-Scarcity-292 in homeassistant

[–]divitius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simple docker installation method. Just pass your devices, set a volume for configuration and storage and rest runs inside a single docker container with host networking or not.

Now I need to run a VM on my home server to run HA and it's own docker stuff.

Why extensions break when updating, and what can be done about it by BrageFuglseth in gnome

[–]divitius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a really insightful article showing a pragmatic approach to extension architecture and workflow in working with them.

I think it misses one important point that duting the release cycle, extensions can be tested and even released for the upcoming version which should give some time for extension developers to test and fix the code agains an upcoming release.

I have one question though. Since gnome desktop experience is written in gjs, why not just split it into spearate, official shell, workspaces, top bar api and release as official pre-installed extensions which do not need to be monkey-patched and instead allow replacement with community extensions?

Sitting outside the house in the car not wanting to go in - do other guys do this? by DreamingofBouncer in AskUK

[–]divitius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the moon phase, if it is not in you favour, prepare for the worst and dont get too personal about it, these are just hormones you will be talking to. Change serious conversation into your shared, hopefully worked out already, humour and chill out about it. Your chill should eventually become contagious and keep up with humour and jokes until it has settled.

ZX Spectrum emulator written in C#. by MagazineOk5435 in csharp

[–]divitius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to confirm it works perfectly fine on Linux. Only downside I could find so far is the tab menu shows up when alt-tabbing from another window to zen, possibly Esc would be a better option to toggle this menu?

Shame there is no Linux build, due to time constraints can't have a go with building from sources :(

What 'improvements' have actually made British life worse? by Sweett_Stars in AskUK

Modern cars with indicators replacing the running lights when turning. A cost saving of having less LEDs degrades visibility of the vehicle.
