Yeah, I've wondered a bit if the Spectre class of vulnerabilities was discovered a couple decades sooner if it would have changed the course of history there.

Encouraging. I hope the increasing drumbeat of awareness and advocacy around this reaches a critical mass soon. I'm not naive enough to think it will solve all security problems, but it will reduce the attack surface so, so much.

I love it, but if you just want to water a tree the siphons work really really well.

From the extensive blog posts about all the tricks they already use, I’d assume they’ve squeezed all the juice from that orange. https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works/

This website doesn’t ever work as a paywall bypass anymore. Just captchas for days.

The messaging space also had the amazing Adium client during the last round of messaging wars, and less amazing Trillian as reverse engineered clients distributed or sold. I for one am excited to see this space heating back up.

Ask someone with 32-bit Mac apps about Apple’s willingness to leave parts of their userbase behind.

From using PopOS, mostly for other reasons like out of the box drive encryption and nvidia support, the DE's purpose as far as I can tell is mostly to provide a reasonably user-friendly tiling window manager without replacing all of Gn

Half the time people with new projects just forget to choose one. He could put up a completely non commercial license if he wanted. It doesn't even have a copyright notice right now, making simply overlooking that so far the most plaus

Bootloaders support all the common root filesystems now, and even less common like zfs & btrfs. Just leave the bootloader where it is and use a directory in root for the kernel & initramfs.

These tiny boot partitions are such a self-inflicted wound in linux distributions. I do agree there's a lot of people in the same boat, but maybe the solution is to offer some sort of migration out of that state.

I get that people don't care or understand this, but that's also saying he cc's OpenAI, and therefore probably Microsoft, and therefore almost definitely the NSA, on all his business communications. What a world.

I think ChatGPT will eventually be good at the garble of weird text. It's immensely helpful already but you really must be checking up on what it is telling you. Plausible but non-existent or incorrectly used APIs are routine still. I

I rather like X. It immediately reminds everyone about the midlife crisis that both the service and its new owner are publicly going through.

Yeah, people have also gotten mealworms to eat Styrofoam. My concern is more that the plastics industry successfully pushed plastic recycling heavily with marketing so that growth of their products would continue, even as said recycling was

This comes up every time, but it doesn't make any sense. Routers, software, IT professionals, would've all been just as happy to not support IPv4.1 as they have been to not support IPv6. At this point though the inflection point h

Yes custom class loaders can solve this. Eclipse had an entire OSGI module system that did this among other things. In general though Java (and Kotlin) have been trending toward simpler and lighter though for years and I’d recommend just so
