It's an extension that makes GitHub pages full width: https://github.com/xthexder/wide-github/

Admittedly the usefulness has gone down a little bit in the last couple years now that GitHub themselves have made code diffs and some other things full width by default.

When I first wrote this I had just gotten a giant 4K display at work and was really annoyed I still had to scroll left and right with the page only covering 1/3 of the screen.

I've been doing this for several years now (not specifically that service, since I have my own domains). It's really nice knowing exactly who sold your email to the spam bots, because it's right in the address. Super easy to block once that happens.

Honestly the best thing about FOSS is that money isn't driving all the decisions. Most open-source projects are built because the dev just wants to build something cool or useful, or they're trying to solve specific problems. Most individual devs don't really care if their user count goes up every quarter.
Personally I've been maintaining a chrome extension for about 10 years, and it's sat happily with about 7000 users that entire time. I built it because I wanted to use it, and I've declined several offers to buy the extension and monetize it.

It was mostly working 2 years ago when I tried it last. I just had some weird frame dropping issues at the time that I can only imagine were fixed by now. This post is making me want to try VR again on my linux install

Looks like a nice little device. I've already got a similar Logitech keyboard that's a bit bigger and is missing the IR remote, but I'm still able to turn on my TV via an HDMI CEC command.

It's also slightly confusing because CTV is a major TV station in Canada. I've never heard CTV to mean Connected TV.

I just run an old PC plugged in to my TV. It's been running Windows, but I'm strongly considering switching it to linux now that it seems HDR on linux is getting stable. I might even use SteamOS directly since it's got a nice interface for controller use.

I already had a server running docker, so throwing a few more containers in was trivial. There's a docker-compose.yml published in the lemmy repo.

Since my server was already running and had free space, it was literally free, but if you're starting from scratch there's more to consider.

I've been self-hosting for over a year now, and the storage does add up. The postgres DB is 11GB, and pictrs service is getting bigger at 29GB. Between all the different services, it can eat up a decent bit of CPU. My (admittedly 10 year old CPU) sits at a load average of 1.9, so you'll probably want 3 or 4 cores minimum. And based on my stats, 4GB of ram should be just enough to keep everything loaded.

The only time that would make a difference is if you're staring at a blank page and the only thing causing the screen to update is the clock. Theoretically the GPU could go completely to sleep, except for having to draw the updated clock every second.

But there's a reason battery life is commonly measured as "hours of video playback". If the laptop's not actually doing anything you may as well turn it off and get weeks of battery life.

Not a single cannabis store that I know of in the US accepts credit card. They're all cash only because the banks don't want any part of it. (Technically it's still federally illegal, and they don't want to get in trouble as national business)

The ISP will always know the IP you're connecting to. Encrypted DNS might get you slightly more privacy for sites using shared IPs like with Cloudflare. But in a lot of cases, there's only 1 website per IP, so the ISP still knows where you're browsing. A VPN solves this by routing all traffic through the VPNs IP first. But you can still be tracked just the same by the VPN and to an extent, the VPNs ISP.

Since this is an opinion statement, you're actually quoting the primary source right there!
