I tried, but I just couldn't remember where it was.

What's the most important thing for Docker, Inc. to do right now?

I would say: listen to your customers. Listen to your engineers. Don't overhire. Pick your battles carefully. Don't tolerate mediocre VPs.

All generic advice since I don't have inside information.

For what part(s) of github?

Free as in freedom?

Many other tools/platforms provide decent source control and issue tracking. Nothing else has the FOSS project market share of github, and this matters especially when you're looking for the canonical home of a project and trying to judge how popular/active/viable it is (stars/commits/issues/PRs).

If you want exposure and participation for your FOSS project, it's harder to not use github.

FWIW, Forgejo does the source control stuff well. I love it for self-hosted local mirrors.

Try eog, if you have it. The colors look bright for me in that viewer.

Hard pass. Another Linux laptop with another sus distro won't teach anyone how to focus. Save a hand-me-down laptop from the landfill, install a known good distro, and do the hard work of culling distractions.

I wouldn't use Markdown for that.

You're right to start with your requirements. Try to get detailed, like the list @WA wrote out, then match it up with appropriate tech.

I wrote a technical book and I also wanted multiple decent-looking outputs. In my case: HTML, EPUB/mobi, screen and print PDFs. I was struggling with Markdown+pandoc+custom scripts/styles, so I switched to Asciidoc. I wrote about that process here: https://adammonsen.com/post/2122/

Most of the formats came out satisfactory, but there were some gotchas. https://github.com/meonkeys/shb/#%EF%B8%8F-book-formats lists some, and https://github.com/meonkeys/shb/blob/main/issues.adoc has more. Translating from English to German went OK with asciidoc, but it might have been better with docbook and standard translation tools for working with .po files.

Here are two examples where the author used Markdown and the result was beautiful and successful (although layout for printed editions were done with extra/other tooling): http://gameprogrammingpatterns.com , http://www.craftinginterpreters.com . I'm curious if Bob would/will use Markdown for his next book. My process is different than Bob's... I didn't need literate code and I didn't want to do _any_ layout/pre/post-processing, even for print. Asciidoctor worked for this, although there were some compromises (see my links above). Print-ready layout is a lot of work, however you do it.

Is this your first book? Do you have a publisher? Will it be printed on paper? Do you have a developmental editor / proofreader / etc? Do you have a plan for what you'll do after you publish e.g. talks/promos/tour?

Contact me if you want to chat. I'm happy to share my war stories. And good luck!

This is awesome follow-through by @a-fadil / @afadil. Here's a similar post from a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41465735

In the space of local-first finance apps, I've really enjoyed Actual Budget (as have many, based on what I'm seeing in other comments). I'll check out Wealthfolio but like @dw_arthur I'm concerned about looking at investments too much / too often. I try to invest based on personal experience / value and always go long. I use off-budget accounts in Actual to track investments/illiquid value changes and update them every 6mo-1yr. I'm sure a spreadsheet would work fine for this as well. But for someone who moves investments more frequently, Wealthfolio looks awesome.

For managing my life's data, this golden combination is always going to win: app that works well | full/local control of data | sane FOSS project governance | software license mitigates enshittification (e.g. AGPLv3)

Skimming that I'm thinking yes, sure, why not, but this repo is missing useful context. Who are you, authors? Why should I bother learning this protocol? Is anyone using or going to use this? If it's new, has it been shopped around at conferences? Any related research?

And specifically Sam goto (Google, fedcm) and Dick Hardt (hello, oauth2 spec writer).

This was originally thought up a couple (5-6) years ago along side fedcm and privacy sandbox, but before SD-jwt was full baked, so it wasn't as clean. The use of SD-jwt is much better for privacy.

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual/instal... is a great place to start.

So much depends on your use case. Can you say more about that? And what have you already tried? I'm skeptical their server-side tuning suggestions will improve your "initial loading delay" depending on what that means exactly. If you mean you see a slow cold cache page load of the Files app web UI (or any Nextcloud app, really) then I'd say that's common with many complex JS-heavy web apps, including Nextcloud.

FWIW, my Nextcloud web UI seems as fast as I'd expect. Roughly 5sec to load the Files app completely in Firefox (logged-in & warm cache) and this is roughly the same time Google Drive takes to do the same thing! Navigating folders actually feels faster in Nextcloud Files.

I'm not using the web UI except when I have to. I do as much as possible locally (e.g. editing docs, contacts/calendars/tasks). I mostly use Nextcloud for mobile and desktop file/calendar/contacts/photo/notes/tasks sync & share and it seems to do quite well at this. Server-side I did spend a lot of time tuning at first, but it has been stable for years once I got it to a good place.
