Yeah, Cloud is a bit of a scam innit? Oxide is looking more and more attractive every day as the industry corrects itself from overspending on capabilities they would never need.

Yeah, no. If you're going to be doing `rm / ` you might as well do `sudo rm / ` just as easily. It's the same security model, and honestly the distinction is quite funny.

Zizek's analysis on the object-desire substitutions in films (including Eyes Wide Shut, but also notably other classics) is more eloquent. This blog post reads like bad, talentless undergrad attempt at theory; nothing new is said, pred

How is (A) relevant? It's not like Google is pouring lots of money into Go! The use of Go _inside_ Google is limited at best. I would say, the success of Go is exactly aligned with the success of cloud plumbing as a whole: Docker, Hash

Backing up to local RAID is nice, unless you're using local RAID as your primary storage in the first place, like we do. I'd looked into using a combination of AWS S3 Glacier and FUSE (s3fs?) for rigging snapshots to S3 via btrbk

People don't like hearing this, but Hetzner support is horrible. In the two years we'd had an account with them having used numerous auctioned boxes, we had to reach out to support a handful of times, and every single time they&#x

Thanks for Porkbun suggestion, I'll keep that in mind; it doesn't support .at but I'm now tempted to move my other domains there. Gandi used to be good, it's a shame what it's become.

Wow, I never knew that to be the case! How would I find a registrar that supports .at LTD? Cloudflare, AWS, Google—neither supports it.

I'm not bothered to `switch` errors, however I really wish I could also match against both static errors (ErrSomethings) and error _types_ in a single `switch`, because now whenever I want to properly handle most errors, I need at leas

I have no interest in developing "native" applications and engaging with the two-party app stores. So yes, I really wish Safari had implemented Push API, so that iOS users are able to use the same capabilities that my other users

Until recently, Firefox was quite slow but with the Quantum release they addressed it somewhat. From a user perspective, I say, if you like it, trust Mozilla, don't care about what they have become, you're fine. In my opinion, it&

See the last table. By what extent of imagination it is "up to date"? Not to mention that many "Partials" in the second table are really more on the "No" side, like Push API. But yeah, it's not even the ma

It's many things; overall low-quality compared to Chromium. Thankfully they have deprecated XUL a few years back which was really holding people back in major ways, but yeah, it's not good. People don't like to hear that, but

I'd never suggested Firefox is akin to IE. Safari is, however, as it's tied to macOS. You cannot use it on Linux, and nobody really uses it on Windows. You cannot use it on Android. It's hopelessly behind on many modern Web s

Safari is great if your idea of a browser is from 2010's. Safari is not really on top of modern Web standards which is a shame because it really does have clean UI, albeit not too many options for power-users. No extension ecosystem, e

Why would you use Firefox—that would be supporting Mozilla, or Safari—as they correctly pointed out in the comments—the IE of 2020's? Have you actually seen Firefox source code? It's horrible; not one bit surprising that Chromium

Honestly, I wouldn't put it behind IBM to turn it around with POWER revival. They'd been doing some cool stuff recently with their NorthPole accelerator[1], and using 12nm process while at it, indicating there's much room for
