Caddy's new commercial licensing, like nginx, is completely optional as the actual source license continues to be Apache 2.0. For any business running their own web servers, compiling Caddy themselves instead of utilizing the build ser

The most apparent comparison looks to be NGINX Plus, for which the lowest cost tier works out at over $200/month ($2,500/year) per instance. https://www.nginx.com/products/buy-nginx-plus/

This is incorrect, or at least only half-true. Caddy is still Apache 2.0 licensed. You can use it for free for commercial purposes. You just can't use the build server at caddyserver.com to download a precompiled Caddy with plugins. In

I hold the principle of open-mindedness higher because I personally don't see a downside to it. Closed-mindedness always struck me as a symptom of insecurity. Being insecure about something like the criminality of child sexual exploita

I don't think SoundCloud is an entity with some optimistic face you could approach and convince through reason or merit. I expect they, like any business, would take a stance primarily based on liability, cost, benefit, etc... overridi

I agree with the case for using a wildcard, but just to play devil's advocate - why can't they take the CloudFlare approach? Generate a cert for 100 of your client's domains, use that cert across those domains. Cut your 50m d

I feel like you and I are not operating on the same definition of implication. In the above comment when using the word implication my intent was "a conclusion that can be drawn despite not being explicitly stated". To be unambigu

I think it's more accurate to say that the comment is explicitly stating that Windows was insecure prior to that date, the implication from which is that it was not as insecure after (else why make the distinction of the date at all).

Is plausible deniability the right term here? Usually that's about the ability to deny having known about or authorised something after it's already been discovered. I'm not really sure how you'd refer to the concept &qu

Arbitrary, rather than random. Most of the time, it's entirely up to the developer. I'm sure the percentage of applications that actually require administrative privileges to perform tasks is in the single digits or lower.

I thought the essay's concern was that funding is growing too fast, allowing expenses to expand to fill the gap in a way that is unsustainable (because eventually the funding growth must come to an end).

The iTerm2 features page[1] has a pretty good run-down of all the extra stuff it can do. Personally, I'm a big fan of the split panes, and I use iTerm2 full screen with two panes. That said, almost identical behaviour can be had in ful

I've found Spectacle leaves a bit of padding space under where the dock folds out - potentially useful, but unwanted in my case, and I wasn't able to find a setting to change that behaviour. I use BetterSnapTool instead, which see

Agreed, I think it's less about being able to get it right, and more about being unable to get it wrong (because users can and will get it wrong in every way possible). Linux is able to get it right in almost every way imaginable,
