Guide to Github GiFs

Constraints

1. Max 100 MB File size allowed in commit check in. Max 10 MB if you use drag and drop on web.
2. Anything above 50MB takes eons to load. You need to shrink file size as much as you can.
3. MP4/MOV file support is limited to web drag and drop only thus limiting to 10 MB size. It also adds an ugly player frame with controls. Gifs are much prettier.

Pipeline

1. Screen capture to MP4 format using ShareX
2. Use Openshot to remove dead space in recording, add transitions etc. (See Tip 6 at bottom for a super hack)

Intentionally inaccessible websites (and apps)

People make intentionally inaccessible websites for various educational purposes: training, empathy, tests, demos, etc. This lists all such websites I am aware of. Please let me know if you know of any others to be added to this list.

Why

Although @setup/node as a built-in cache option, it lacks an opportunity regarding cache persistence. Depending on usage, the action below might give you faster installs and potentially reduce carbon emissions (♻️🌳❤️).

Requirements

Yarn 3+/4+ with nodeLinker: node-modules. (Not using yarn ? see the corresponding pnpm 7/8+ action gist)

Notes on Modern UI Development: Iterating over the other 80%

Introduction

I have been working on a modern typing training application for the last couple of days. One of the main motivations was to build an app with a modern UI and minimal distractions, enabling to fully focus on the training aspect. You can read more about the original idea and thought process here.

One of the main features is being able to train your typing speed when working with code, which means the typing experience should come close to how you would type when working with an IDE. A feature that you would normally get inside such an environment is the auto closing of parentheses, brackets and braces. Which means you would for example type ( and the IDE would automatically add the closing ) for you.

The first iteration of Typing Cyclist was just a raw implementation which treated text and code examples the same. You would have to type

Vaultwarden docker-compose nginx

My setup for vaultwarden. Uses a custom certificate authority to sign certificates. Expects vaultwarden.crt and vaultwarden.pem to be in ./crts.

See https://github.com/ttionya/vaultwarden-backup for instructions on how to configure rclone for backups.
