The Caesar Cipher component is displaying incorrectly in Safari. Its elements are positioned off-center. It works fine in Chrome and Firefox.

I really wanted Coolify to work, as I like the idea behind it. I gave it a go some time ago, and I ended up spending the entire evening battling issues like the proxy not running, with no helpful UI feedback whatsoever.

So I came to the conclusion that if I have to dig through abstractions built by someone else, only to find out that in the end I have to manually restart the underlying containers anyway, I might as well stick to using Docker directly.

And truth be told, it’s not even that difficult to handle it all yourself. And it’s definitely very educational. It gives me a nice feeling of being in control and knowing my server. And on top of that it’s fun too.

I think there is an issue with the implementation of search and filtering.

When I open https://mpa.nuejs.org/ and type "kind of rate limit" in the search box, I get 383 search results, and the URL updates to include the query: /app/search/?query=kind+of+rate+limit.

However, when I paste that URL directly into a new tab, I only see one result instead of 383.

New comment by morteify in "Threads starts testing scheduled posts"

The article says:

> You can’t schedule replies, because Threads wants the platform’s conversations to feel real-time and alive.

However, nothing feels less authentic than optimizing for audience growth by scheduling posts in the first place.

Maybe it’s just me—not a content creator or public figure in any way—but I’ve always felt that the best aspect of Twitter, Threads, or Bluesky is the spontaneity in expressing your thoughts.

New comment by morteify in "Prisma ORM migrating from Rust to TypeScript"

morteify — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 14:26:45 +0000

According to the announcement:

> Prisma’s architecture has historically limited community contributions. Core functionality—such as query parsing, validation, and execution—has been managed by our Rust engine, which has been opaque to our TypeScript-focused community. Expanding capabilities or fixing core issues often fell solely to our team.

> We’re addressing this by migrating Prisma’s core logic from Rust to TypeScript and redesigning the ORM to make customization and extension easier.

New comment by morteify in "Multiple Displays on a Mac Sucks"

I can relate to that. I tried a 4K dual monitor side-by-side setup some time ago (on a Windows PC), but my initial excitement at the available screen real estate was soon replaced by fatigue from eye and neck strain. Turning my head several times a day and forcing my eyes to refocus on a new target left me sore after a day's work.

Command/Tab is now my preferred way too. I've also come to really like Stage Manager on Mac and I don't feel like I need another screen anymore.

There is a mention of dolphins in the article: "This makes them [elephants] the first non-human animals to address each other in a manner that does not imitate the receiver's own call, as dolphins and parrots do."
