Baseline Status in a WordPress Block

by: Geoff Graham Wed, 05 Feb 2025 14:58:18 +0000 You know about Baseline, right? And you may have heard that the Chrome team made a web component for it. Here it is! Of course, we could simply drop the HTML component into the page. But I never know where we’re going to use something like this. The Almanac, obs. But I’m sure there are times where embedded it in other pages and posts makes sense. That’s exactly what WordPress blocks are good for. We can take an already reusable c

Missing Windows from Grub After Dual Boot? Here's What You Can Do

by: Abhishek Prakash One of the issues I encountered after dual booting Windows with Linux is the missing Windows entry from the grub menu. Here's the scenario. Windows was present on the computer. I installed CachyOS alongside Windows. I selected to install the Grub bootloader that allows booting into Linux, Windows (and any other OS present on the system) along with the option to access UEFI. Only this time, Grub did not show Windows in the menu 😔 Missing Windows from Grub bootloader That

by: Zainab Sutarwala Wed, 05 Feb 2025 11:24:00 +0000 Programmers have to spend a huge amount of their time on the computer and because of these long hours of mouse usage, they develop Repetitive Strain Injuries. And using a standard mouse can aggravate these injuries. The computer mouse puts your palm in a neutral position is the best way of alleviating such problems – enter trackball or vertical mice.

ArmSoM CM5: Powerful Replacement for Raspberry Pi CM4

by: Abhishek Kumar From the title, you might be thinking: yet another clickbait post. But I mean it when I say this, ArmSoM has truly delivered something special. ArmSoM, yet again, has sent us their Compute Module 5 (CM5) with its IO board for review. Last time, I tested and reviewed their AIM7 board, and my head was blown by its sheer performance. With an RK3588 SoC, 8GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage, it was a beast. This time around, we’re looking at the CM5, powered by the RK3576, a slight

Chris’ Corner: Offlinin’ Aint Easy

by: Chris Coyier Mon, 03 Feb 2025 17:27:05 +0000 I kinda like the idea of the “minimal” service worker. Service Workers can be pretty damn complicated and the power of them honestly makes me a little nervous. They are middlemen between the browser and the network and I can imagine really dinking that up, myself. Not to dissuade you from using them, as they can useful things no other technology can do. That’s why I like the “minimal” part. I want to understand what it’s doing extremely clea

Compiling CSS With Vite and Lightning CSS

In that case, you may be like me and eager to use many of these amazing tools but find browser support sometimes lagging behind what might be considered “modern” CSS (whatever that means). Even if browser vendors all have a certain feature released, users might not have the latest versions! We can certainly plan for this a number of ways: feature detec

Using Emacs as Terminal Multiplexer on Windows

by: Community If you're a developer or a power user, you probably understand the importance of having an efficient and organized workflow. Whenever I get to work with a Windows-based system, I really miss the terminal emulator along with the ability to quickly switch between different terminal sessions. Not to mention, sometimes I need to gather 2-3 command sessions in a single view. There are many scenarios where I need to run multiple commands simultaneously.  Sure, we have the command prom

Chrome 133 Goodies

by: Geoff Graham Fri, 31 Jan 2025 15:27:50 +0000 I often wonder what it’s like working for the Chrome team. You must get issued some sort of government-level security clearance for the latest browser builds that grants you permission to bash on them ahead of everyone else and come up with these rad demos showing off the latest features. No, I’m, not jealous, why are you asking? Totally unrelated, did you see the release notes for Chrome 133? It’s currently in beta, but the Chrome team has b

9 Cloudflare Tunnels Alternatives for Self-Hosters

For instance, if you’re running something like Jellyfin, you might run into issues with bandwidth limits, which can lead to account bans due to their terms of service. Cloudflare Tunnel is designed with lightweight use cases in mind, but what if you need something more robust and self-hosted? Let me introd

How to Install DeepSeek R1 Locally on Linux

The Mistakes of CSS

CSS was born in 1996 (it can legally order a beer, you know!) and was initially considered a way to style documents; I don’t think anyone imagined everything CSS would be expected to do nearly 30 years later. If we had a time machine, many things would be done differently to match conventions or to make more sense. Heck, even the CSS
