I've always loved Matchbox because they made mundane, everyday cars that you could see on the streets. I know I'm in the minority with my love for the ordinary cars, but even as a child I would have much rather played with a Ford Sierra than a hot rod.
I’m part of that minority too, and as a kid growing up in the 80s the Majokits sets from Majorette were the best for me: city buses, construction trucks, and yeah, the same cars you could see on the street.
A few months ago we switched from a small dark blue hatchback to a bigger silver grey SUV. At the time I didn't really think about the color. Then I had a conversation with our neighbour and he pointed out that silver grey is an excellent color for a daily driver - small scratches are practically invisible and so are the tacky chrome accents. So, yes, I know I'm driving the most boring looking car on the road but I do like the practicality of it.
Yup. That’s my experience, too. Also, on macOS the client UI is horrible. It’s slow and I’ve yet to find a way to open local files that it displays in the list of recently synced files.
It may be a regional thing but I have never heard ”bit rot” refer to legacy code. In the retro computing circles bit rot refers to hardware defects (usually floppies or other storage media) caused by cosmic rays or other environmental hazards.
I agree this is the primary context, but I've seen unmaintained (or very old) software being reffered to as "bit rotting" by extension. As in, forward compatibility might break due to obsolete dependencies, etc.
I had a Samsung washing machine a few years ago. It had a button to toggle sounds on/off. Unfortunately, I still wanted some notification when the cycle finished so I just had to leave the sounds on. I kind of grew to like it but my occasional guests thought it was annoying.
I'd suggest you give Forestry (https://forestry.io) a try. It's a great CMS for static sites (incl. asset management) and it has a really nice preview system.
Blocking events until they are handled by the tracker's event queue is quite a common problem when using PiHole. It would be nice if those event handlers were registered using Google Tag Manager as it would mean that those event handers would never be registered if trackers are blocked.
By the way, I use VPN to bypass PiHole when I encounter these problems. It's a lot less hassle than switching the sinkhole off/on.
I’m unable to use my banks app because the tracker being blocked causes an error that fails very loudly and blocks login. I refuse to whitelist it in pihole.
