This is probably dumb, but I felt genuinely let down when there were no options for facial hair for my female avatar.
I actually waited for a moment, thinking maybe it was just taking a minute to load, but then it hit me :'(5 -
So I was changing some CSS, but the changes weren't showing.
Was it being cached? Nope
Was the selector wrong? Nope
Well it was the right file yeah? Yup
So after like 10min of scratching my head, restarting the server, etc it turns out I was checking prod instead of dev.
This isn't even the first time this has happened 😑
Guys just remember to keep your dev tab and your prod tab away from each other, like way away.8 -
I hate it when you actually buy a template and it turns out things only align when your images and text are a certain length.
Dear designer no, my images are not all 200 x 200. Screw you :)4 -
We're looking to change the domain provider we use to register new client's domains to one that has an API.
So far it looks like it'll either be namecheap or AWS's Route 53.
We're also looking for the same thing with mail inboxes.
Do you have any recommendations / experience with either of these?
I was hoping to find a solution that would provide both the domain registration and the mailboxes with no hosting and accessible via API but I've had no such luck.
(Except for maybe two, but neither looked up to date)10 -
Has anyone ever user GuixSD here before? If so, how did you like it? How was the transition from GNU-Linux/macOS/Windows?

Just found out that this is a thing and wanted to try it out, but before that hearing some opinions might be nice.3 -
These days I'm rocking GNU Guix as my main operating system. You see, I've been using GNU/Linux since 2006, and in 2021 I stumbled unto Emacs, while looking into "complete environments" for writing, editing and possible coding. That made me fall in love with Lisp, even though I did not and still don't understand it. So, around those same times, I found Guix which is written almost entirely with Lisp, including its kernel. But I've always been more of a user and not a coder. I write my books on Emacs, and tinker around from time to time. Until very recently, I decided to start learning Lisp. I got me a book and an IDE, which funnily enough is not Emacs, because I want to follow the book exactly. I'm not sure whether I'll able to stick to it, this is my third time trying to learn code. I have other activities going but coding would be a nice addition on my skillset. Let's see what happens...
