  • You’d save it to the database in the same field as the rest of the text. You don’t store the positions or anything like that - you’d store the text with HTML and have the front end render it as expected.

    For instance, the database could have the following text:

    Hello <strong>World</strong>
    

    And the front end just renders HTML.

    Alternatively, you could store Markdown syntax if you’re hesitant to allow HTML.

    EDIT: as always, if you store raw HTML, don’t forget to sanitize it.





  • Nintendo issued an apology in 2020 over the issue, but argued that players who purchased the items were bound by the user agreement of the Nintendo Switch and thus ineligible to participate in a class action lawsuit against the company.

    I’m not a lawyer, but this seems suspicious. How would this work? If I purchase a product in a retail store, where exactly would I sign something agreeing to give up my eligibility to participate in a class action suit? Are they trying to argue that linking the hardware to your account carries over the restriction to any hardware used?



  • That’s not a money reason or a store related reason. That’s really on the developer. Mac is a different architecture. Often times Mac versions require extra development.

    Linux is gaining more ground not because of a store or the developers themselves, but because Proton makes the windows versions of games run on Linux.

    My argument was about exclusivity deals, not technical compatibility.






  • I don’t have Virgin Media Hub, but my pihole has been configured as the DHCP server for years.

    The PI’s Lan cable is connected directly to the router, so connectivity isn’t an issue. I rarely restart it except for routine maintenance, but yes if the PiHole goes down, then everything starts to throw connection errors. This is expected. If the router was the DHCP server and the router goes down, then you would also lose internet.

    However, since it’s separate from the router, if you ever do need to take it offline, you can always explicitly set the IP configuration on a computer to bypass the pihole temporarily.
