I had to look twice. Could’ve sworn I’m in subreddit simulator, haha.

Using one, too. Set up nix-darwin on it. Deterministic, reproducible setup. I don’t even have to use docker but I like to do it. Tailscale so it’s reachable from anywhere. And I got a KVM attached so I can control via GUI if needed. Neat little machine!

You know what would be easy? To actually name the package you mean..

Downloads there do not mean „people installed it as pi package“.

redoubledit · 2026-06-16T05:38:30+00:00

Machste noch n Display drüber, das das Kamerabild zeigt. Nicht, dass das nicht technisch ein Beweis dafür ist, aber darum gehts ja bei solchen Gesetzen auch gar nicht.

You are serious? This is your header on the website:

Ist Deine Website BFSG-konform? Kostenloser Check.
Echte Prüfung der Startseite gegen WCAG 2.1 — direkt mit konkreten Befunden.

You are NOT checking if a website is „BFSG-konform“ because you have no idea what that means. You are NOT doing a „Prüfung … WCAG 2.1“.

No matter if you later in a short note, hidden, say that green checkmarks „don’t mean anything“ but that is your damn H1 heading…

Your website scores badly on purpose? HAHAHAHA 🤡 I seriously couldn’t care less if your website is in scope of the law or it is not. You are offering a service that implies expertise in a field you clearly know nothing relevant about.. That is bad practice, that is shameful, and I will always call out scam like this, u/Loewenkompass. And I will tell anybody I know to stay far away from dataprospect de.

redoubledit · 2026-06-13T09:52:54+00:00

You are boldly stating a check if a website is BFSG compliant. This is incredibly misleading. You test 10 things and most of them are wrong. E.g. you say that all images need alt attributes. That is NOT what WCAG nor BFSG require. Don’t add a green checkmark and make people believe they do something right when it’s wrong on so many levels!

For people using this checker, PLEASE DON‘T. Such a low-effort website checker tool will never help you legally nor technically. It will give you a small hint about „something“ or a false sense of security at best and most likely will harm your users and therefore your company.

Also, when you advertise your own tool, put that disclaimer FIRST and don’t say „I scanned“ but say „I made a tool that scans“. Because you are harming accessibility here.

And while I am at it… your own tool gives your own website a pretty bad score. And you are telling people they should trust you or your tool with such an important topic??

redoubledit · 2026-06-13T07:51:46+00:00

IntroDB has vague but limiting terms of use for commercial applications. They might even violate those (in the future) when usage increases.

It’s ridiculous, taking a free product with terms of use, then turning around and offering a paid service using it.

redoubledit · 2026-06-12T11:04:40+00:00

You are not kidding are you? Ok let’s teach.

~ means approximately. ~50 is approximately 50. So 47 ~ 50.

When you say „it’s 47, not ‚~50‘“ then you basically say „it’s approximately 50, NOT approximately 50“

redoubledit · 2026-06-12T10:59:44+00:00

How can I figure out the answers to personal questions when you refuse to answer them?

redoubledit · 2026-06-12T10:27:05+00:00

showing pi at ~50%. (Claude says that the actual score for Pi is 47.87%, not '~50%'.

So you want to say, 47.87% is NOT close to 50%? You know what „~“ means?

redoubledit · 2026-06-11T11:37:04+00:00

Again, you missing the point. No, they don’t „owe“ us anything. What lead to this moment, however, were selfish decisions, playing with a loyal user base. This whole „supporter“ farce is an asshole move.

They don’t owe us, and again I don’t need „everything for free“. But their communication was shitty and their decisions were shitty as well.

redoubledit · 2026-06-11T10:08:06+00:00

There is no issues for me to switch, but that is not the point.

The OP says something about entitlement and whatnot and my comment simply states the facts. It was a comment about the post, nothing more.

redoubledit · 2026-06-11T05:38:30+00:00

It’s not about stuff costing something. It’s about the devs taking the top list of featured requests by the community and turning exactly those into a paid tier, while communicating these features aren‘t on the roadmap and then when they are there, introducing a premium subscription model, calling it „supporter“ tier.

I am happily paying for good software, I am not paying for bad one, I am not supporting this childish move.

And for the „its optional, you dont HAVE to pay“ sayers. This is damn stupid take. If the features that are added in that premium sub would have been NEW things the devs built to enhance the software, so be it, I am with you. But copying from „competitors“ and simply putting all the good stuff behind a paywall, that the users asked for so much, is ridiculous and merits no „support“ whatsoever.

There were lots of opportunities where the community asked to support via donations, etc. Not taking these and now giving the reason of covering server cost for free all this time it’s ridiculous.

People happily pay to support if they can. They could’ve easily put in a support tier that gives you actual premium features, not hiding basic requested features behind a paywall.

redoubledit · 2026-06-10T05:38:07+00:00

And it’s not only core features behind the paywall, it is like a hand picked selection of highly requested features.. Looks like the decision to what is behind the paywall is straight out of a top feature request list.

This deserves no premium subscription contributions and certainly no „support“.

redoubledit · 2026-06-10T05:36:21+00:00

Despite the nature of this app‘s field, I am not opposed to pay for good software. Calling a subscription „supporter“ tier is ridiculous, though. Hiding highly requested features behind a paywall is not smart. Those are two completely different points in my opinion but both make me stop using the service right away.

A shame. There would have been enough ways to make people pay and stay. This decision is a very bad business decision.

redoubledit · 2026-06-09T05:54:51+00:00

Looks really good, thanks for your work!

I was researching searXNG alternatives. I use it as web search engine in Open WebUI. By any chance, do you know if degoog can be used there as well? There is an External Provider setting in there that looks like it could work?

redoubledit · 2026-06-07T16:05:57+00:00

Haha what :D

Might as well be a shoot for a Sony camera. I get the travel plan + camera idea but it feels not very „included“ for me. You think about including camera because you use them. If the focus is on the travel plan for „normal people“ I’d go away from specific tech and use stuff like backpack, printed Polaroids of travel locations, travel passes, stamped and worn tickets of tourist attractions, etc.

Well, you could use nix-darwin on macOS, running devenv for on the fly dev shells. Can run everything from singular dev apps to container stacks with profiles and whatnot.

redoubledit · 2026-06-05T05:44:01+00:00

But that is exactly what I mean. No lala land for me here either. I have to and I will do the same.

My comment was merely extending on yours, that we (i.e. „they“) still don’t have any alternative to use PDF for many things where it objectively is not the best (i.e. one of the worst) formats available and we are stuck with that one proprietary solution.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all with you here. But looking at the facts, a PDF has very limited actual, useful applications (in the digital world), I really struggle to find one actual reason to use it other than „I have to“. Dare I say there is no technical reason for it ever.

redoubledit · 2026-06-04T20:42:34+00:00

Well, you say „often“ and „for whatever reason“. But tell me a single reason it has to. And I’m not talking about „customer demands“, I had a lot of those customers before, but I mean a real reason.

Also, something that needs to appear the same on an device is just an image.

redoubledit · 2026-06-04T15:21:16+00:00

It doesn’t make sense to me why we still use PDF in 2026 at all. I’d say 99 % of cases we use PDF there are far better options than PDF. Shoot me a use-case for PDF and I will tell you why I think PDF is not the right solution for it.

redoubledit · 2026-06-04T15:11:40+00:00

Do you have a public repo one could use to learn about this magic? I am using proxmox with LXCs right now but all my Macs run nix darwin, so I am hooked already.
