If anyone wants to try this, be wary of transcode acceleration / HW passthru with Docker, esp on M1/M2. In general I’d love it if there was a GUI-less stripped-down MacOS Server edition instead of running the full-fat consumer OS

It’s something that’s handled a lot these days at BigCos by service / query gateways / proxies and in the places that utilize these heavily it’s pretty automated from my experience. Basically the dev experience is you go into so

https://konghq.com/blog/engineering/graphql-authorization-at... has a pretty comprehensive look into one way to handle auth with Kong. I believe Envoy can do something similar. It’s not as easy as an htaccess with

Partially because some of the lots in the area are flat-rate $30-50 and street parking is free or much much lower cost. IMO governments shouldn’t allow private companies to ruin parking downtown like this — cities need to operate their own

Is there a name for the phenomenon when something is over-advertised to the point where potential consumers become less interested with more advertising? I’ve reached that point with NordVPN, SquareSpace, and a few others, but especially an

Good. The fact that the FCC refuses to act (and GOP in Congress blockades things like chair nominations (read up on what happened to Gigi Sohn) to ensure inaction) against telcos just allowing spammers to ruin our national communications in

Also no useful public transit. The People Mover is a joke and the busses are famous for being hours late / just not showing up. The infra used to be decent when the auto mfgs were around there and out in Southfield where some bigger of

GraphQL really needs a gateway like Envoy to give better observability / control / auth, and indeed that’s how lots of people deploy it.

Another idea is to get a thin client with an i7 or i9 (you probably want at least 10th gen at this point) and either an external enclosure for a few SSDs or if you find one with a PCIE slot, a PCIE card to fit maybe 4x m.2 SSDs. Some good d

As rPi 4Bs are hard to get still / overpriced, unless you’re absolutely married to the rPi, check out OrangePi 5B for a much faster CPU, more RAM, eMMC, and good wifi OR get the 5+ for the same minus wifi (it has an E-key m.2 to add it

They can’t fix anything in SF because then it would ruin the aesthetic of ticky tacky faded pastel colored wall-to-wall vinyl sided two story houses with those single-car-garages-with-uselessly-steep-driveway-angles. At least the people who

Businesses are already leaving, tax revenue will crash harder once more businesses and residents leave, then only the grandfathered Prop 13 recipients paying $5k/yr on a property worth $5m right now will remain. It’ll get a lot worse b

MacOS is very far from Unix ideology at this point. It’s not even possible anymore to install things you compile without a bunch of red tape scary warnings. You can’t make new folders in /. iOS has tons of private APIs that only Apple

32" 4K feels like the sweet spot now, 32" 8K would be a good future upgrade, but we need DisplayPort and HDMI to catch up. 120hz is very nice for desktop usage, as is HDR. Now that my main rig is a 55" 4K 120hz HDR OLED, most

You can’t build land, but in cities we deal with that by stacking floors on top of each other, turning one square foot of land into 100 if we want. Trying so hard to preserve rundown two-story crap boxes built in the postwar era just becaus

Going somewhere they won’t freeze to death overnight is definitely one reason to pick SF / LA / San Diego over many Midwest and East Coast destinations.

Yeah, marketing. Also, I had the same point / question: what do you really get out of this aside from possibly confounding local network attackers if you’re e.g. out at a coffee shop? This seems like a really bad idea if you’re doing s

This seems like a bad idea for torrenting. Using a service with a billing account in your name seems like a really easy way to get subpoenaed and taken to court. The benefit of services like Mullvad is the “small fish in an ocean” aspect th

We also send smart people with smart teams that know how to appeal to the below-average voters back home, and they’re very successful at that. Are there dumb politicians? Absolutely. But I strongly believe that many play it up so their base

The osmose by Expressive E is pretty cool too, and Studiologic controllers have nice Fatar keybeds that are considered top of the line for synths and workstations.

I’ve also been in that situation and considered something like a Roland Integra 7, which can be found for around $1k in good condition if one is patient and willing to buy second-hand from Japan. I already have a pretty nice Studiologic 88

If anyone’s interested, the Oxi One is pretty awesome for sequencing bluetooth gear as well as midi and CV devices. I didn’t have super high hopes as it was a Kickstarter device, but they’ve surprised me by continually updating it, and it’s

The other thing about the iPad is that it’s pretty stable and predictable, with a very mature OS and very mature hardware. It’s also commodity, so if it gets stolen on a tour or smashed or beer spilled on it, it’s not hard to find an Apple

The part that gets me is that it’s x86, and not even very recent x86. This CPU model was released for retail in Q3'20. It’s 10nm. I would have much preferred to see something like a 4nm Zen4 Ryzen or ideally, some combination of ASIC &
