There is a Terraform provider that is actively maintained, in addition to Ansible integration. https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/third_party/ I'm a Pulumi user myself, and I haven't s

There's a joke that "the most stable Linux ABI is Win32". Like sibling commenters have pointed out, many Linux game ports either used system libraries that may or may not be compatible after years of changes, or bring along v

There is more nuance to the anti-cheat systems supporting Linux argument than "it supports it but they won't use it". Turning on Linux support does weaken the security posture of the anti-cheat system, so it's not simply

The dynarec systems in QEMU aren't as efficient as the native dynarec systems in Windows and macOS (Rosetta 2). You can definitely run x86 Windows with UTM, and it works, but the performance characteristics are pretty poor. From a util

I have seen the opposite happen, but I'm fairly confident that few people that felt the pendulum swing from good to bad stick around long enough to feel the upward swing.

The key thing that Facebook Groups and Pages solved was the network effect. If you were on Facebook already, you could join a group or a page without signing up users. If a post from a Group or a Page came in, it came in through a common no

DHH is always amusing in that there are times when I think he's totally spot on, and there are times when I have to laugh and shake my head, as the words that he spouts sound intelligent, but are abjectly off-base. On the subject of AD

I agree that xbar's seemingly not getting as much love as it once was. I was also having some weird CPU resource issues with it, which all but went away with SwiftBar, so I'd definitely recommend swapping it out. The script backen

I have this happen largely with Apple OS devices. Apple's DNS service can be notoriously persnickity (I've had issues with it outside of Tailscale as well), and I usually need to bounce interfaces or flush DNS cache (where I can o

Tailscale is definitely more than "Wireguard with a GUI", but I don't think that diminishes your point that Tailscale, if they're not already, would be great stewards if they were contributing more than code back to the

This seems like a polished, limited in scope version of what xbar[1] and SwiftBar[2] does. Personally, I love using the menu bar as the place for at-a-glance information. I currently use SwiftBar to provide status indicators for my audio de

I'm kinda there with you. The first game I ever played that used Voxels extensively was Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun. All the 2nd gen Westwood games of that era used voxels for their units and projectiles, and nothing about the ar

Interesting! This product looks to be the spiritual successor to MixMeister Fusion, another app that I used to use to make offline mixes back in the mid-late 2000’s.

Not at all! I think there's a pretty natural flow for folks to have a love affair with YAML over the past decade or so of comp sci. You're seeing plenty of folks with "YAML DSL fatigue" because folks have seen this patte

This harkens back to Chesterton’s Fence. It’s always worthwhile to interrogate why things were done the way they were, especially when first coming onto a project. Knowing the why of a decision is essential to understanding if and how it sh

I think you're underselling the technical complexity of doing what Sonos did. It was a pretty impressive feat for them to do what they did over WiFi. The reason your Google Home can do it is because, while it's a pretty decent tec

Having just went through the process of buying a car, and the amount of work, research and effort needed on my part to ensure that I didn't pay through the nose on a car, this is, in my opinion, squarely in response to the car sales in

I hear this argument often times when relating to gun laws in the US as a defense for the status quo, and yet the US continues to have the second highest gun deaths per capita. I can’t say that this argument is fallacious because of that pa

I think this highlights one of the tenets that I try to advocate for when folks ask me how to get started on some sort of computer science journey. Find a thing that interests you, and work to make that. Whether it's working on a game

A couple of years ago or so, when Google was flirting with axing free Google Workspace domains, I ended up switching my email over to 37signals’ HEY platform. I have been pretty happy with the result overall. While I don’t like that I’m for

Ironically, x86 performance of Win applications on UTM is faster when using Windows' ARM to x86 translation rather than using QEMU virtualization, because it can do Rosetta 2 like translation of only the specific application code and n

I too am rallying quickly to the Incus way of doing things. Also of note, there's an effort to build a utility to write Compose manifests for Incus workloads that I'm following very closely. https://github.com/bket

Rather than avoid tools that work well, I would encourage you to adopt solutions that solve your use cases. For instance, if you aren't getting notifications that a backup is running, completing or failing, then all you've set up

That's not a benefit to me if I can't control how someone gets access to my vehicle, dealership or not. If I want a dealership to be able to assist me, I should have to authorize that dealership to have access, and have the power

I'm a huge fan of SOPS, especially since it can integrate with numerous crypto providers, from `age` for a fully offline crypto source to Hashicorp Vault and big cloud secret / crypto providers. I wanted a tool that allowed me to

"Better" is definitely the wrong word, but the jist is sound with the right framing. A better tool often allows you to do work safer, and that is what was attempted to be conveyed. Applying the approach to one of your examples, a

Interesting! This appears to be an alternative to the BeeWare Project and its suite of tools. I'd be interested in looking at them head-to-head. https://beeware.org/project/overview/
