It still uses node.js, right? Since it is new and for the future, why not choosing deno?

New comment by nachtigall in "The end of TenFourFox and what I've learned from it"

nachtigall — Tue, 30 Mar 2021 04:36:11 +0000

I really liked reading this. I never used TenFourFox (no Mac user at all) but occasionally came across its blog posts because it is in the planet.mozilla.org RSS feed.

I really liked how the motivation and problems for a (hobbyist) OSS project of this scale are written out.

This made it an interesting read for me - I'd say for actually almost anybody somewhat related to unpaid FOSS.

On a second note it is a shame that there are no harder governmental restrictions that hardware has to be supported by its software for a certain time. So much (forced!) waste on resources because the manufacturer wants to sell its next-generation... There are a lot of phones - still good enough hardware - but you cannot get updates for it after 3 years...

The complement book "Started with MicroPython" at https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/micropython-pico/ looks like a nice present for kids. Would be great if it was available in other languages (for example, german).

Anybody knows if translations of the book are planned?

Looks nice, but I'd need an easy web client too. Currently, I use ticktick (android app and web).

New comment by nachtigall in "Firefox Preview adds support for recommended extensions, including uBlock Origin"

nachtigall — Wed, 05 Feb 2020 08:40:05 +0000

It crashes sometimes (about twice a week for me), but it's Preview Nightly what I use. I would suggest you uninstall and reinstall (from Google Play). Maybe it helps.

New comment by nachtigall in "Gandi loses data, customers told to use their own backups"

nachtigall — Thu, 09 Jan 2020 21:28:04 +0000

Where does it say it was bought? It talks about a new investor:

> we have found a new investor in Montefiore Investment, who have replaced our former shareholder!

Am I missing something?

News post about it:

https://news.gandi.net/en/2020/01/major-incident-on-our-host...

A site of mine is also hosted as their PAAS at Luxembourg, but was luckily not effected. Probably my site was on another storage unit ("on one of our ZFS storage units").

PS I also always thought that the snapshots were backups.
