You can use whatever string you want as the passphrase for Magic Wormhole, the receiver just won't get tab completion.

Yes, `wormhole-william` works as a single binary with no dependencies on Windows. If you don't have the Go toolchain installed we provide prebuilt binaries on the github release page: https://github.com/psanford/wo

You are wrong about a 99 channel limit. You can see that is not the case by passing the `--code` flag to wormhole and specifying a mailbox id larger than 100.

This is not a standalone DB. Its a key-value store implemented as a library. You would want this if you were a Go developer working on an application that needed a built in key-value store. If you were a Rust developer you'd want somet

On having your system be managed from configuration its sort of similar to Ansible. One major difference is with NixOS you can easily roll back to previous states of the system. That means both rolling back config changes and also rolling b

Yeah the syntax is intimidating. Its definitely one of those things where its easier to start off by copying examples and then slowly learn all the details. After using it for a while it mostly starts to feel like a slightly different JSON

I've started to use nix (both nixos and nix installed on ubuntu) to manage those critical packages where I want both control and the option for major updates outside the OS's release cadence.

Your argument doesn't hold much water as Debian is able to package the same software in .debs. If you just look at the list of canonical owned snaps it becomes clear that every release they move more packages from being debs to being s

> Ubuntu 20.04 itself is based on debs, not snaps This just isn't true. Its clear that Ubuntu is moving away from debs and to snaps. LXD is software primarily developed by Canonical and is only distributed as a Snap. Look at Ubuntu

I never understood why croc chose to copy the features of Magic Wormhole but implement them in an incompatible way. Partially out of my annoyance with this I implemented a port of Magic Wormhole in Go that fully interoperates with the offic

Its not a requirement that you use the default Wormole rendezvous or transit server. Its all open source you could run your own private servers if you wanted to (and its easy). Of course the nice thing about Magic Wormhole is that its secur

For a company that went out and acquired a 2FA subsidiary, Twilio really doesn't seem to have their 2FA story together. For example you'd think a company with an division dedicated to authentication would support what the industry

Yeah giving a third party the ability to control what ssh keys get provisioned on a machine isn't a big deal.</sarcasm>

I was excited for Ubuntu Core and then "noped" out as soon as I saw the Ubuntu SSO account requirement. I'm not going to use an OS that you can't login to without it phoning home to a third party.

Not in perpetuity. Go 2 does not promise to be backward compatible.

The Go 1.x compatibility promise is one of Go's best features.
