Fuck Googling
1 project | /r/rant | 25 Dec 2022

I've just blocked Quora from ever appearing in my google searches because of how un-helpful their website is despite being host to so many useful questions. I have no idea how one website can claim to fill the niche of Yahoo Answers yet fail to provide absolutely any of the value. Blocking it has vastly improved my Googling experience.

I hate codegrepper. Unrelated snippets are somehow the first Google result.

I use Personal Blocklist and added stuff like geeksforgeeks.org or cplusplus.com. It seems codegrepper earned a place on the list as of today

Alpine Linux: Brilliant Linux Distro
10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 10 Mar 2022

So I surveyed docker images in my personal use:
Postgres (Docker provided - https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres): Debian (with alternates for alpine or other debian versions)
Jellyfin (Developer provided - https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/blob/master/Dockerfile): They use an alpine build step but the final distributed image is debian
Calibre-Web (Linuxserver provided - https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web/blob/maste...): Ubuntu
Graylog (Developer provided - https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog-docker/blob/4.2/docker/o...): Debian
Vaultwarden (Developer provided - https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/blob/main/docker/...): Debian (with alpine alternate available)
For professional use, our company mandates all images used are built off a common base image, which is Ubuntu based (my previous employer was similar, but used a Red Hat based image).

Jellyfins book support is kinda eh right now, it'll probably take another major version or two. I'm using calibre-web until JF feels ready. Clients shouldn't be a problem though, any web browser will do.
