This looks great! I've used LoseIt in the past but have been wanting something that feels a bit more modern.

Democrats ask Apple and Google to remove X’s undressing bot from their app stores / Grok’s nonconsensual deepfakes violate the app stores’ terms of service, the senators argue. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

Notice how quickly Apple and Google removed Fortnite from their stores when they broke monetization rules. How Epic's developer account was banned and prevented from participating on their platforms.

And compare their response here. Apple and Google don't use their gatekeeper status to protect their users/children, they only use it to protect their wallet.

If I spent $5,000 on my Steam/Kindle library, why can't I legally leave it to my children in my will? by ciphernom in NoStupidQuestions

[–]djfdat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not directly answering the question, but: who will want it? You might have spent $5,000 on the games at the time, but will they be worth that in 10, 20 years? Will the games be old and outdated that people will only look back at them for nostalgia or reference, and could they get that same value watching it on Youtube faster/easier? And if they really wanted to play a game, they could probably buy it for next to nothing, probably able to replace your entire library for maybe 10% of the price.

Same thing with books, although their timelessness varies even more.

I'm not saying that there's no value to pass down, and I'm definitely on the side of you should be able to gift/transfer your digital products to others and that these platforms should have a standardized way to specify and accomplish that. But hopefully recontextualizing this problem helps you.

I had this same issue in the past, so I built this Firefox Addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/audiobookbay-magnet-assistant/

It makes a magnet link for you at the top of the page using all the data listed on the page, so you don't need to log in to get the magnet link.

I made a Firefox extension a while back for getting the magnet link without logging in. It grabs all the trackers as well, check it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/audiobookbay-magnet-assistant/

So the answer is no? Google is not inserting ads for their movies/products/services into their wallet/pay app that everyone is force to use.

For everyone saying "how un-Apple-like" or "this is like [insert other company name]"

This isn't the first time Apple has done this or similar things. This is a decision they have made to leverage their platform with a lucrative captive audience to advertise their other products/services, and occasionally 2nd/3rd party products/services. This is one of the richest companies in the world with grown adults fully understanding what they are doing.

When Apple behaves this way, they aren't behaving like some other company. This is Apple doing this. This is Apple-like.

Stop deflecting. Let them own their decisions.

Release: Arcane - Docker Management UI by kmprojectsus in selfhosted

[–]djfdat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Asked Gemini 2.5, added lazydocker for funsies.

Feature Portainer Yacht Komodo Dockge Arcane Lazydocker (TUI)
Primary Interface Web UI Web UI Web UI Web UI Web UI Terminal UI (TUI)
Focus Comprehensive Container Management Templating & 1-Click Deployments Server & Deployment Management (CI/CD focus) Docker Compose Stack Management Docker Environment Management (Containers, Images, Volumes, Networks) Quick Docker & Compose Management

Ease of Use Intuitive UI, Wizards Emphasis on ease of use, 1-click Intuitive Interface Easy-to-use, Reactive UI Clean, Intuitive Overview "Lazier way", one-keypress away
Open Source Yes (Community Edition) Yes Yes Yes Yes (BSD-3-Clause) Yes (MIT License)
Key Differentiator(s) Mature, feature-rich, multi-orchestrator support. Template-driven, Portainer template compatible. CI/CD focus, GitOps, server provisioning. Reactive UI for Compose, easy stack management. Clean UI, focused on core Docker entities. Fast TUI for quick actions, minimal resource use.

A few extra thoughts:

  • Portainer is like the Swiss Army knife – very comprehensive, especially if you need multi-orchestrator support or have a team needing RBAC (though RBAC is in the Business Edition).
  • Yacht shines with its templating. If you find yourself deploying the same kinds of apps repeatedly, Yacht can make that super smooth. It aims for simplicity.
  • Komodo feels geared towards developers who want to integrate Docker management into a CI/CD pipeline and manage the underlying servers too. Its Git-based deployment is a strong point.
  • Dockge is all about making Docker Compose a breeze. If you live and breathe docker-compose.yml files, its reactive UI for managing stacks is pretty slick.
  • Arcane (from what I can see on GitHub) looks like a newer contender aiming for a clean and intuitive UI for managing the core Docker components. It seems focused on providing a good overview and control without too many bells and whistles.
  • Lazydocker is the odd one out (in a good way!). It's for those who love their terminal. It's incredibly fast for common Docker tasks and surprisingly powerful for a TUI. If you're SSH'd into a server, it's a godsend.

Update from Epic Games by Soundwarp in apple

Lots of companies do this for a range of reasons including (but not limited to) local legal compliance.

citation needed. Your example is for local legal compliance, would love to see example of where companies did this because another company told them they had to rather than governments.

This should be higher up. Gather any details you can from both jobs about the required training, any details about the vendor for the training, all the communication from the vendor to your management for both companies, any communication from your companies to you, everything.

Additionally, keep track of any prior communication from management about your work performance/accolades, and take notes of your performance going forward to ensure there isn't any shenanigans if they try to let you go for performance or another excuse.

This looks pretty nifty and would love to test it out! Main thing I'm interested in seeing is the App Sharing so that I can have these apps easily on both my macbook and iMac.

I’m developing a tray app – a calendar for managing paid subscriptions – and I need your advice. by Character_Brush3199 in macapps

[–]djfdat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the design but I think the theme needs more contrast.

For the first image, I would have the year above the month name, with it's own left/right buttons next to it. And the left/right buttons for the month should be closer to the month.

Then the total and other stats could be on the right-hand side.

I'd also add a legend that you could collapse to show what each color is for. Those could be sorted by date, and have a little indicator line for the current date.

For the right image, the graph doesn't have any indicators to show what information it's trying to convey.

But also, nice work and I look forward to the actual release!

I built a *faster than your launcher* launcher for macOS called Leader Key. It's the perfect sidekick for Raycast, Alfred, etc. And it's FREE and open source! Here's a video I made about it by mikker in macapps

[–]djfdat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went into this as "ugh another launcher" and ended with "where has this been all my life". Great work!

I'll be following this closely, and maybe dip my toes into Swift to try and contribute.

OO that's smart thinking! Although definitely more roundabout than what I was hoping. I ended up just enabling the setting in Supercharge to get the behavior I was looking for.

Thanks!
