webos-debloat

One shell script that makes a rooted LG webOS TV lighter and quieter:

hides bloat tiles and background apps from the launcher
stops preloading apps the TV keeps in RAM whether or not you open them
turns off home-screen promotions, promo videos, sports alerts, content recommendations and Live Plus (ACR)

Nothing is deleted and the root filesystem is never touched. It only edits

Rules for LLM Agentic Coding in Docker Containerization Projects

1. Container Architecture Patterns

Follow the Established Pattern: Always respect the established architecture patterns across services (Dockerfile, entrypoint script, management script).
Separate Concerns: Keep build-time operations in Dockerfile, initialization in entrypoint scripts, and user operations in management scripts.
Delegate Appropriately: Entrypoint scripts should handle environment initialization; management scripts should provide a clean interface.
Minimize Verbosity: Management scripts should be concise in output; verbose operations belong in entrypoint scripts.

2. Environment Detection & Configuration

Use Defaults Wisely: Always provide sensible defaults for environment variables.
Check Dependencies: Explicitly check for required dependencies (database, Redis, other services).
Respect Technology Specifics: Recognize and accommodate technology-specific patterns (rake vs rails, Nod

What's Cool

Encrypted root partition
- AES-256 bit cipher
- Argon2id variant for PBKDF
- Sha3-512 bit hash
rEFInd bootloader
- With dreary theme
- Optimal Settings (optimized for aesthetics, and boot time)
Boot into backups thanks to refind-btrfs

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Stop your running postgres server (your plist name may or may not have specified the version in it, mine had 94 in the name)

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql94.plist

Upgrade to 9.6

brew update && brew upgrade postgresql

Check your version

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Here's how to disable the package that is responsible for loading the Git source control support in Visual Studio. Use at your own risk!

Create a file called devenv.pkgundef and place it next to devenv.exe in you Visual Studio's Common7\IDE (you'll need elevation for this)
Add the following entries to the file:

[$RootKey$\Packages\{7fe30a77-37f9-4cf2-83dd-96b207028e1b}]
[$RootKey$\SourceControlProviders\{11b8e6d7-c08b-4385-b321-321078cdd1f8}]

Close VS if open, open a Developer command prompt, and type devenv /updateconfiguration
