Ah, so this is removing libxslt. For a minute I thought XSLT processing was provided by libxml2, and I remembered seeing that the Ladybird browser project just added a dependency on libxml2 in their latest progress update https:/&#x

Good point. I just submitted a pull request with new data for foot 1.25.0 https://github.com/jquast/ucs-detect/pull/17 . The test suite is really easy to run (and fast, foot rocks!).

We used GlusterFS for the past decade or so in HPC but it seems to be abandoned now. Need to see whether I switch to Ceph or something else. Gluster was OK. We never pushed it very hard but it mostly just worked. Performance wasn't gre

Most of this reads as disingenuous to me. Not all of us have the capacity or skill to scale so we need to take drastic measures to keep services up. I do believe in and love the open web. But the AI scrapers need to change, not me! They&#x2

Great, thanks for sharing the links. By the way, rift valley software? I'm writing to you from Kenya, one of the homes of the great rift valley. It is truly remarkable to drive down the escarpment just North of Nairobi!

Thanks for the honest review! I have two Intel ThinkPads (2018 and 2020) and I've been eying the Framework laptops for a few years as a potential replacement. It seems they do keep getting better, but I might just wait another year. Wh

Noble effort. I might make some pull requests, though I kinda feel it's futile. I have my own list of "known good" networks.

I have an ad hoc system that is similar, comprised of three lists of networks: known good, known bad, and data center networks. These are rate limited using a geo map in nginx for various expensive routes in my application. The known good l

Is this safe for WordPress though? Every time I look at switching from nginx to Caddy where I have WordPress hosted, I get into the weeds trying to figure out if I need to block certain paths in `wp-includes` and `wp-admin` etc. For example

As the old addage goes: If you're not paying for it, you're the product. Lots of nuance, but generally: pay for things you use. Servers, engineers, and research and development are not free, so someone has to pay.
