Not quite a comparable alternative. I use Pagefind and it's great for static sites but the search is all client side JS, there's no PHP (or otherwise) client to use it's generated index on the server. A comparable…
Yeah you can definitely do jury duty multiple times in the UK, though I believe it's a lottery and statistically uncommon. I've ended up doing it twice, within a few years of each other. Had the same boss both times and…
>I know everyone jusy says "build your own!!!11" I used to be like that too I love tech. But sometimes we just want a tool that just plugs in and works, so we can reach our final goal faster. Same here. I have a couple…
Slight mitigation to this is you can add an automation via the Shortcuts app to be triggered when airplane mode is enabled, and set the actions to immediately lock your device and disable airplane mode Downside is that…

I have two identical monitors (Lenovo ThinkVision P27h-20) that I can reliably reproduce the random position switching under macOS when waking from sleep The solution I've come to is to use USB-C with one, and HDMI with…

Ah this is great, just spent 30 mins playing this on the London underground as it works offline too
Potentially the app could link out to a hosted webpage that allows selecting a location using a decent map and search UI, with network capability (but without requiring it in app) Then on selecting a location you…
I remember hitting something like this in my student halls. Internet provider aggressively throttled any p2p traffic. I had to use a VPN to get Spotify to play smoothly and not repeatedly buffer when playing a song.
I tried this for a bit, but it turned out a number of services (Google, Facebook) would fail (silently) when sending an SMS to Twilio numbers. It might no longer be true as there was a Twilio support page that confirmed…
Yep, now that DO has managed DB instances it’s become my go to provider for most setups. Droplets (VPS) have generally worked out cheaper than EC2 (with more resources) for me. The bit that initially sold me on it a…

I've personally been meaning to rebuild my personal site with Next.js: https://github.com/zeit/next.js/ Used it to build a few static sites at work and have quite enjoyed it as you get to use React.
> I always had this issue that a div has standard border padding, and width:100% pushes its right to out of viewport. You likely want `box-sizing: border-box`: https://www.paulirish.com/2012/box-sizing-border-box-ftw/
You could automate it using something like https://github.com/nevik/gitwatch
Almost 4,000 forks at this time, here's an example that appears relatively up to date: https://github.com/hooluupog/goagent Sort of impossible to take a project down unless Github itself goes around and nukes each and…
I have the same issue, but on my mobile. Same message every time "We've been trying to contact you regarding mis-sold PPI.." but different number. Originally it was from a range of UK mobile numbers, but now it seems to…

The best reason I've heard, is around redundancy/robustness. HTML recovers from invalid syntax and missing resources, it'll still function as a page displaying content with functioning links to other pages and such.…
