Pretty happy with Resilio Sync. I use it on Mac, and linux in a docker container.

League of Legends in borderless mode renders at the resolution that's set in BetterDisplay instead of the real one which makes it very blurry. In fullscreen it does it correctly so I'm forced to use fullscreen.

Is there anyone who has archived this into a PDF or ebook format? I'd love to save and read it in another way.

What was the marketing company called? I'd like to know if they list this service publicly and if so, what it would be called.

I think that would become unwieldy very fast. I think it's alright for a lightweight site like this one with very little content.

If you don't want to use a static site generator I think you're better off with just html files for each page/blog entry, or you could use something like htmx and load stuff in that way.

This is quite neat. Every page is a

and css is

  section {display:none}
  section:target {display:block}

So they use the target selector which becomes active when #pageid is in the url. But the html for all the pages is outputted, so this won't scale with a big blog. I wonder how SEO is for this, and if there's a way to make this better with something like the element.

I would also make it so the url was example.com/#/pageid, so the id is "/pageid". Looks a bit better I think.

Looks great!

I found a small bug, if you click Expand in the Top Pages section, the Time on Page column has NaNs.

Dark mode for the dashboard and showing realtime current visitors in the would be great.</p> </article> <article> <h1>New comment by sira04 in "The UX of Lego Interface Panels (2020)"</h1> <p>sira04 — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 22:05:36 +0000</p> <p>It's this in the <head><p><pre><code> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0"> </code></pre> Remove the maximum-scale property.</p> </article> <article> <h1>New comment by sira04 in "I'm tired of fixing customers' AI generated code"</h1> <p>sira04 — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 02:50:46 +0000</p> <p>Could you make a model from your API/docs and let them plug that into their AI stuff?
