You can. If you have a `.git` in your import path, it should just work OOTB, using Git as expected. Otherwise, whatever code hosting service has to implement support for returning a proprietary meta tag when serving a ?go-get=1 query - and

OVH might give you 'unmetered' traffic, but their connectivity _sucks_. Hetzner's 20TB/mo is equivalent to a constant measly ~60Mbps, but at least you'll reliably get this rate to most of the Internet, and very ofte

There is no need for any sniffing for the above scenario to happen. It’s literally just using the P2P nature of bittorrent to get peers’ IP addresses (you can do that too! Just start any torrent and look at the peers tab in your client), th

For cryptographic primitives, some of the theory behind them, their practical use and what can go wrong when you fuck things up, 'Serious Cryptography' ( https://nostarch.com/seriouscrypto ) is a good book.

Perhaps this discussion could be a opportunity to use the wording in a neutral fashion, letting yourself be okay with consciously and honestly using it, fighting against that looming feeling of unease? That is, if your issue with this wordi

The snobbishness around Rust repeatedly makes me reconsider if I really should be investing even more time to continue learning the language.

For secrecy and access, just relying on end-user keys and encryption is not good enough for me - e2e encryption UX is tricky (key management, backup, access from multiple devices, onboarding), and tends to turn less technically minded users

Noted. The single numerical namespace, from a technical perspective, is a double-edged sword. On one hand, you need to have a single, monotonically-increasing-ish number in your model, which is annoying when trying to design a globally dist

An AGPL license gives you more freedoms than the personal use rights you get from having bought/gotten a book, though.

It’s probably selection bias (as I tend to not enjoy working with node.js software, and would probably actively pick alternatives), but I can’t think of any in my bubble (Go, Rust, Python, distributed systems, ...).

Right, I do not disagree with a tutorial that outlines Nix in this way. Indeed, this is how I teach Nix to others, generally by starting with the repl and then adding things on top like derivations, callpackage, nixpkgs and stdenv, trivial

Yeah, I just added a comment that this is only true if you want to not run Nix on Debian, eg. use Nix builds are pure dpkgs that you install to 'unaware' Debian hosts.
