Something I often don't see mentioned -- be wary of older (as-in lifetime, not version), long-running clusters. I have found multiple times where a product has some vulnerabilities because I can land myself into an "older" cl

stow + git-crypt works well, also. I just added git-crypt two days ago for my very few encrypted dotfiles (cachix key, gist token, etc). Though I understand the desire for it, in reality I've never needed templating for dotfiles, there

This is a good reminder that I don't use GitHub the way they expect me to. I don't use their notifications. I don't really ever look at my profile. Certainly not enough that I would go to it regularly to (even think to) updat

Hm, "professionalism", to me, is a weird criticism to levy against a product or business that is presumably shutting down due to failure or lack of funding. Is it common, or expected, that startups allocate funds for clean shutdow

I don't understand this comment chain, replies, patterns of downvotes at all. Nothing, anywhere, indicates that Project Mu has anything to do with "other OSes" on Surface devices. And the grandparent comment is a direct impli

Er, people have been running Linux on Surfaces for years. With decent UX for a while as well, as I understand it.

I mean, where do we think the functions are executing now? It's not like Ubuntu Server is running Xorg, or has libinput installed, nor have any of those things ever been operational or developmental considerations on any "non-serv

This comment was fun to read. I'm a couple years younger, but that Boston Legal part hit like a truck. Maybe it was the suggestion, but I can't knock the mental image of wasting hours futzing with compiz/Beryl/fuzion wit

Thanks Darren, I wish I'd read your post earlier to have realized the timeline. I agree with your conclusions re: the sky. Thank you for the write-up and replying here.

I should've known that there was an official timeline as part of the process, but forgot. I wouldn't have asked about that otherwise; I didn't mean to cast any aspersions. Whatever I'm thinking of was from folks I respec

Has there been any word of how long this has been known about? I recall a certain group of people talking confidently, open but vaguely about a serious k8s security bug at least a few months ago. Given the number of clusters that undoubtedl

Katacoda has nothing to do with Kata Containers... I'm not sure how you can make any of the conclusions anyway, unless you know a lot of seemingly private details about how KataCoda is implemented.

The crosvm and Rust have me intrigued. I was hoping for something like this since I saw the first hints of Rust showing up in ChromeOS in crosvm. A compare/contrast with Kata Containers would also be interesting. Their architectures lo

(I wish I could edit; I feel I should to clarify, I didn't do any of the Pantheon work, I just noticed the PR a while back and thought of it. I'm not sure I have the skills for that sort of thing yet.)

There's no reason that they need to come from the developers. I'm maintaining over a dozen packages that build directly from HEAD that are all integrated with my package manager and allows anyone else to leverage my work and get m

Aren't both Chrome and Firefox's sync protocols open? At least, the Firefox Sync server is still self-hostable and open source, and at least the client side of Chrome's sync is open source since Chromium can sync as well... I
