It's a genuinely surprising feeling to live in a place, but see an absolute torrent of malevolent misinformation about it. The "London has fallen" trope that has been prevalent on social media recently stank of some kind of d

Yeah, that's a common workflow. It's easy to programatically allocate those keys using the OAuth workflow though – there's even a CLI utility to do it ( https://tailscale.com/kb/1215/oauth-clients#get

The best way to do that is using an OAuth client. These don't expire, and grant scoped access to the Tailscale API. You use this to generate access keys for the devices that need to authenticate to the network. We use this for debuggin

There is some confusion here because while you can disable node key expiration, you can’t disable auth key expiration. But that’s less of a problem than it seems - auth keys are only useful for adding new nodes, so long expiry times are pro

by matthewmacleod 8mo ago
What would be your use-case for auth keys with long expiry times? Auth keys are only required for registering new nodes.

This is true up until the point that someone finds a security issue with an image parser that’s present in a browser engine, and suddenly you have an RCE.

Do you really struggle to understand the mindset? Some people are happy to release code openly and have it used for anything, commercial or otherwise. Totally understandable and a valid choice to make. Other people are happy to release code

I mean… https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40934115/ A total of 205 participants were randomly assigned to receive oral semaglutide, and 102 to receive placebo. The estimated mean change in body weight from baseline to w

But it is a fact STI transmission has skyrocketed since the so called sexual revolution of the late sixties It’s the opposite of a fact. Gonorrhoea rates as an example rose significantly in the 1960s, but are now lower than in the 1940s a

That just seems like abstinence with extra steps.

by matthewmacleod 9mo ago
Yeah that’s a moral crusade. It’s a public health issue; you deal with it through public health measures like education, vaccination, and treatment. You don’t make it go away by wagging your finger at it.
42.
by matthewmacleod 9mo ago
This adds nothing. It has been repeatedly shown that stupid abstinence-driven approaches to public health do not work. It’s equivalent to saying “maybe the obesity crisis would be solved if we all just ate less”. Moral crusades have zero pl

I expect it’s your “I’m an expert and everyone else is merely an idiot child” attitude that’s probably making it hard to take you seriously. And don’t get me wrong - I totally understand this personality. There are a similar few I’ve worked

That’s the service. What aren’t you getting? The service is the execution and orchestration of CI jobs.

Holding an opinion like “everyone apart from me is a shill or an idiot” is not an attractive quality in a human.

That’s actually not true. 1270 Wh/L is massive - this is around four times the energy density of LiFePo batteries.

If it has to call its parents or uses a GPS phone, it is not autonomous. This is really not that hard. Obviously your point here highlights your pedantry: autonomy is not absolute. Despite being a mostly functioning and definitely autonom

I don’t think it’s a lie, it’s just perhaps overstated. The number of staff needed to manage a cloud infrastructure is definitely lower than that required to manage the equivalent self-hosted infrastructure. Whether or not you need that equ

That is what a blog post is. Someone documenting what they think about a topic. It's not the case that every form of writing has to be an academic research paper. Sometimes people just think things, and say them – and they may be wrong

It does not mean this.

Nobody is locked in (unless they made some incredibly bad decisions) and this is a tiny fee in exchange for a useful service. I’m just baffled by the response to this.
52.
by matthewmacleod 10mo ago
It is not abuse to charge what amounts to a relatively small fee for a useful service.
53.
by matthewmacleod 10mo ago
What part of this is “enshittification”? It’s just a company starting to charge for a formerly free service. Hardly seems like that aggressive a move.

This is specifically only for video rendering. The model itself works across GPU, CPU, and MPS.

I've heard this before (and I don't have any reason to doubt your research) but I'm struggling to figure out why it would be the case. Regulation 1016/2010 ( https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2

I think we can reliably say that the global West's current lack of trust is nothing other than home-grown.

Everybody is aware the Ukraine has major corruption issues. It is frequently covered in the media and is common knowledge. I have no doubt however that Europe (and hopefully the wider world) is less worried about that corruption than they a

You can just buy a 5090 now for $3k. Have you confused it with something else?

by matthewmacleod 10mo ago
Of course this is where it starts. If you ever find yourself in the situation of saying “at least it’s not as bad as Nazi Germany” then you’re probably not heading in a good direction.

A citizen being rounded up by the state and bundled off to a foreign country illegally and with no process is absolutely kidnapping regardless of how much you want to pretend otherwise.
