   I hope it solves it, but I've seen that stated before

   Honestly just look at the dismal history of Python and package management. easy_install, setuptools, pip(x), conda, poetry, uv. Hell I might even be missing one.

   Admittedly I have not dove into it much but, I wonder if we might finally have a usecase for NFTs and web3? We need some sort of way to denote items are persion generated not AI. Would certainly be easier than trying to determine if somethi

   not sure if you have given FreeBSD a chance yet and it has an in-progress jail/vm frontend: https://github.com/AlchemillaHQ/Sylve

   hmm, good to know. I have an lg 40in 5k2k that I rather like but this tempts me

   That is accurate for me. I have never enjoyed coding puzzles or advent of code. My version of that is diving into systems and software when it breaks. That is fun...as long as my job or income is not on the line

   Ideally this would be a legal requirement

   I think it is the fact that python packaging has been problematic for some time. setuptools/easy_install, pip/pipx, poetry, conda, uv all promise they will be the thing that "fixes" it

   I do wonder about the normalization of dystopian ideas. Take even a show like Scandal. The fact that one of the big reveals is that billionaires stole the election by targeted hacking of election machines is kinda messed up.

    I'm really enjoying the uptick in interest in FreeBSD I'm starting to see as well as the really exciting 15.0 release.

    Yes and no. There was also some intellectual property shenanigans with FreeBSD 4.3 and then the really rough FreeBSD 5 series and their initial experiments with M:N threading with the kernel and troubles with SMP

    I wonder how it would work with the new-ish podman/oci container support?

    shoot, there are also end of year layoffs and reorgs to pump up those year end numbers

    FreeBSD can do OCI containers now!

    Just this week the foundation dropped an article about OCI compliant containeraztion: https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/oci-containers-on-freebsd...

    Loving all the new developments with FreeBSD.

    I love this. There are definitely shops where the data is a bit too much for postgres but something like Snowflake would be overkill. Wish this was around a couple years ago lol

    I guess that is the kicker right? "same level of guarantees".

    This is why I lease not buy now. I am watching the development of solid-state batteries as that has the promise of greatly reducing battery health issues

    for a very large graphql api maybe? I've seen long compiles with a combo of Absinthe, Phoenix, and Elm. Also if you are not a little careful about dependency cycles it can get messy. It is an easy thing to check in CI via mix xref grap

    All of these random features is just pushing me further towards model agnostic tools like goose

    Even though I am fairly pessimistic about AI's impact, this is a good positive to call out.

    I do wonder if there is a market for a preinstalled self hosting computer or setup where the service would be automated backups, e2e encrypted of course, and perhaps high availability

    For things where there is not a natural path for competition, state owned, or how it is done in the US state of Nebraska a separate political subdivision, makes more sense. You are not going to have multiple power lines and connections comi

    I wonder if some of this is a consequence of Apple executives having to spend time navigating the tariff and supply-chain waters thus distracting them from actual innovation.

    If there is an alternative to the m-series that lets me keep the battery life I'd jump ship. The m-series chips are just so good though

    This isn't a perfect solution. If you want the most equitable then you go the UBI route. Otherwise you have to do fixes like this in order to make things better. Also you have to do the ROI on means testing

    I do wonder if a significant portion of the hate is from the AI push coming from the executive level.

    Exactly. This is why competition is good. Intel really didn't have a reason to push as hard.
