  • I used DuckDuckGo a couple of years ago, but they added their own blacklist of sites (pretty stupid), and for my language it started returning crappy generated spam sites instead of relevant results. They shouted at the top of their lungs that for my language they simply index the results from Yandex, but this is a lie, they are different.

    StartPage gave the best results, but they introduced a captcha that I got every damn request.

    I’m currently using SearXNG, which collects results from Google. And these are damn normal results, unlike other search engines that consider themselves the smartest and edit the results.





  • Used dark (not black) themes everywhere for 8 years. My eyesight is still good according to my annual physical, but recently I’ve noticed that I have a hard time reading text written on a dark background. It is slightly blurred, especially when there is no light in the room.

    Somewhere I still use dark themes, but I always try to switch to light mode if things look okay with code highlighting or smth.


  • If you build your app with glibc 2.32 and then run it with glibc 2.39, it will run fine. But it won’t work the other way around.

    There is no best README template, but for my personal projects I use this:

    1. Title
    • Brief description of the project
    • Features
    1. Build
    • List of supported OS
    • List of dependencies (what packages do I need to build your application)
    • Commands to build the application (what do I need to do to build your application)
    • Binary Locations (where can I find the built binary)
    1. Usage
    • Program arguments (what do I need to provide to use your CLI application)

    You can find an example here. I’m not saying this is the best README, but I think it’s simple and informative.
