The way I think about it is: - Maintaining stateful secrets at rest gives me the heebie-jeebies. - The tools shouldn't let me shoot myself in the foot. - The tools should ideally not have such a high learning curve that I won&#

I've been very happy with nixos-generators: https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators They let you produce SD-card images with custom NixOS'es. Very useful when you want an exact software layout, and

In a world where people think NAT addresses are safe because you don’t need to know anything else about firewalls, IPv6 _is_ fundamentally less secure.

First off, amazing post. I learned a lot about networking, Linux and Kubernetes. As a learning project, this is absolutely awesome. I run Kubernetes via Kind on Docker on NixOS. There's a ton of other ways to get a development environm

I do use non-standard ports and sshd on VPC/VPN interfaces. But for teaching purposes, you are dealt a hand and you have to learn to deal with it.

An anecdote that repeats. Most software doesn’t need to be distributed. But it’s the growth paradigm where we build everything on principles that can scale to world-wide low-latency accessibility. A UNIX pipe gets replaced with a $1200&#x2F

I recently provisioned a VPS for educational purposes. As part of teaching public/private network interfaces in Docker, and as a debug tool, I run netstat pretty easily on. Minutes after coming into existence, I have half a dozen conne

You can use voice to text and let the LLM come up with the article form. But feed it examples of good form.

Just run a second LLM pass on it and adjust the writing style by feeding it examples. Then run a final manual pass on it and remove the unnecessary parts. Write shorter. Half the words would have worked. Besides that, it’s embarrassing for

The point remains that you get inflated results by the vast majority who just seek the shortest path to close the dialogue.

I embraced this when I had the same realisation that React will get reinforced the most, and vibe-coded something in it. I had to ditch the whole thing and rewrite it in Vue when it got big enough that I couldn’t debug it without learning R

The only thing I think a lot about is advancing at work and saving up for a bigger home. Whenever I stop up to appreciate both my current working and living conditions, I’m happy for that period of time. Yet, if I’m content, I’ll never live

Standard ML was my favorite language 2008-2012, and whenever people criticize the syntax, I shake my head. ML syntax is among the most beautiful, and most readable, to me. OCaml has a few features that bring the readability down a little, l

I always wonder how people get into arguments with AIs. It must be related to how I also never get into arguments with strangers on the train. I just refrain from any emotional tone, and so the dialogues where the AI compliments me, jokes,
