I thought so, but I installed Sleep Aid, and when I disable "Wake for Maintenance", Sleep Aid gives me a stern warning:

> Disabling "Wake for Maintenance" can lead to this Mac waking every few seconds. Please select "Disable Wi-Fi" to help with this

So it seems like actually Enabling this setting somehow prevents the Macbook from waking up every few seconds... presumably due to Wi-Fi? Enabling it seems like the recommendation by Sleep Aid anyway

Seems like wider outage of Google Cloud Run services, can anyone confirm?

For people who want to put something like this, here is the code snippet:

  
    This website is designed for Firefox, a web browser that respects your privacy.

Class .hidden must hide the element somehow, in this case I do:

  .hidden { display: none; }

We are not asking for foreign countries to "replace the Ayatollahs" for us. What we are asking, is ending their diplomatic relations with this government, or at least severing it, instead of trying to strengthen their diplomatic relations.

A deal between this dictatorship and the west will only strengthen them, leading to more oppression. A weakened dictatorship due to foreign pressure will make it easier for the people of Iran to replace them.

For me the reasoning is being able to distinguish between what needs to be wrapped, and what I would prefer not to be wrapped. In this case, code samples would preferrably not be wrapped. If I can wrap normal text manually, and keep code samples unwrapped, the client can disable wrapping entirely and see the code lines untouched.

This is possible with HTML and CSS, but not in plaintext. I think wasted space is something I can handle, but a badly wrapped code is something I dislike.

the code highlighting is really cool, well done! pretty sure it's possible to do something like that with jekyll by updating the `highlight` liquid tag to be able to render ascii highlighting in case of raw pages.

ah! that one includes a JavaScript I used to draw a canvas in the post body, hence the script showing up in the curl result. Might try to think of a solution for that.

Edit: fixed it by moving the script to its own file.

I use Protonmail.com and I'm quite happy with their service. It does allow custom email domains, etc., but is paid.

LastPass is the worst piece of software I have ever worked with. We had a lot of trouble making sense out of its sluggish user interface and confusing terminology and more.

BitWarden is my choice, it's cheaper than alternatives, the UI is simple and easy to understand. It's open-source and battle-tested. You may want to self-host as well.

That's a good idea to propose to Mozilla for the new "Firefox Preview" which is a new version built from the ground up. They are open to innovations on that version and so far they already have made some experiments there.

You might want to try it out and leave this idea as a feedback on the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.fe...

Hey! I just added Gnod tools to the list. I saw your pull-request for Gnoosic, but the other tools also fall in the same bucket.

This is cool! I would appreciate pull-requests to add these to the repository

Otherwise I will take a look at them later on myself
