I wouldn’t be shocked to see MS abandon Word or Facebook (erm Meta) abandon Facebook in the same sense Google would abandon Chrome. Sure, some piece of software will have that name, but it won’t be aggressively developed like MS abandoned I

I’ve just been using minikube. I can just build containers with it or mock up a k8s deployment. Instructions to configure local docker or podman to use it are simple. With the hyperkit backend it’s pretty similar, just with extra bells an

The biggest problem for me is that my local cable company is the cheapest/best internet provider. So, no, it's not cheaper for me than cable. Internet without cable is almost the cost of the "bundle". (it's evil)

Some of these are why I bail for a “real language” in many seemingly simple scenarios. As soon as I care about datetimes, it’s just easier to use stat() and a proper datetime API. I can treat filenames as byte arrays and translate to Unicod

It's a shame, but seems so common to the whole of the internet these days. Arch seemed goofy to me. But FreeBSD is pretty terrible on my laptop and I like that very small base that I add what I need on to, and not the "all the th

I messed with OpenWRT on consumer gear for years. I hated the hardware. So many had "all the features" (802.11 coolest, gigabit NICs), but didn't have enough actual compute power/memory to get the performance out of th

And Firefox was refreshingly light before it. All browsers are doomed to bloat or remain niche.

I don't know if it's the case anymore, but that's been the state of windows installers for a long time. Usually the easy-to-download one was tiny and just phoned home for the real bits. And that wasn't just Microsoft&#

They wouldn't be... until they go under. Then the vultures will be happy to shake folks down to pay for the licensed version or a law suit. Merit doesn't really matter, they have a claim and fighting it will cost you. They'

They’ve pretty much broken that in practice since the last major firmware update. I just only turn my controller on when I’m working now and occasionally have to re-adopt. And alternatives likely have similar issues. It’s what naturally occ

The problem is that they set a bar there. There is a gulf between consumer and enterprise APs that is full of only Unifi-esque gear. “Cloud management” is an OOB requirement and primary use case for SOHO gear these days. It’s a fleet manag

This is something that has frustrated me for years. There has been no interest in modernizing the Linux PRNG really ever. This article doesn't go into more depth so I don't know if it's just tacking on more entropy sources

I did this for a few years in a genero small router passively cooled form factor PC from China. Celeron with discrete Intel NICs. Ran PfSense. Worked great until it died a few months back. Now it’s less expensive to just buy the equivalent

It won’t help with switching, but it is good for routing/fw + running real software. I just run a Netgate appliance for that plus something less flaky than OpenWRT. I also wonder what actual speeds you can get out of these NICs. So man

Wow. This could be messed up for attorneys, DCS, social workers, etc. They allude more to child pornography, but I hope it doesn't extend to physical abuse. Those photos are usually taken on phones by spouses, doctors, schools, etc.

Oh my goodness, this is an awful idea. Oracle just runs hosted Exadata for OCI last I checked. RAC requires shared block storage and L2 private network. Cloud SDNs and storage require gross hacks with horrible performance consequences. Even

I use Pipenv now for applications that I’m not publishing to PyPI. I like the workflow better, and find it to be much less buggy. Pipenv is not really involved in package building, though. For libraries and OpenSource that I’m building act

I haven't done a TUI since using curses, which is appropriately named. I do have some scripts used by non-developers, who can do things on the command line, but only by wrote. This would be really great for that vs having to build out

I'll also make the inflammatory statement that people should just use sed and awk in shell scripts and leave Perl for when they really want to write Perl. It is weird to me the number of times 90's Linux Distros used Perl for thin

Totally agree. I think anyone developing with these tools would too. It's not as annoying as say, RedHat, but out of date "system" versions are just obnoxious. I don't know if any "native" apps have leveraged

I don't love the guy or anything. But you're pulling pieces together from different contexts over almost 10 years to tell your story. The quote was about a presentation in 2013, not the project as it is now. Guido's complain

That's not entirely weird to me. For the longest time bash was in various states of disrepair on different Unixes. I could make it segfault pretty easily. I wrote scripts that had to run across Linux, BSD, HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX at t

I got a diagnosis when I was in college (inattentive type, definitely not hyperactive). It was a bit of a rollercoaster for me. I also have anxiety and disthymeia, so meds were complicated. Stimulants send my anxiety out of control. Ulti

Really nice to see "native" and not electron :). Very clean looking. One suggestion would be to do thumbnails like Octal on iOS, but that may just be a personal preference. I'll try to remember to check back later, when you&

This brings me back to the late 90's when folks were writing Tcl/Tk (or whatever/Tk) wrappers for seemingly every CLI. That was silly, but this makes sense for 1-offs. You write an internal CLI, realize the userbase isn&#x27

I don’t think any tool fixes that, as you alluded to. I think a great example of this is the difference in docs between OSS Python projects. Most include the auto generated Sphinx (or whatever) docs, with usually just a README level veneer.

It’s weird how this cycles. Firebird/Firefox was originally an amazingly light browser (discounting some niche Linux ones that embedded Gecko). Then it got huge, and Chrome was amazing. And it seemed impossible for FF to be able to wor

Yep. We had maybe 60 of these. I think 2GB, but can’t remember for sure. We were all Compaq desktops and servers (Toshiba laptops for sales) but much smaller so no clout. We bought some drives to rotate while we waited for RMAs, but the on
