I know this is a tiny percentage overall, but it’s a very substantial boost to the Linux percent, perhaps correlating with Win10 losing free security updates, and a minority of savvy gamers swapping to Linux. (Myself included, so obviously bias to my statement)
Okay that’s what was happening… yay
I mean preppers try to be as self sufficient as they can. Hosting your own stuff is similar to that, so yeah, I guess.
My outage was when the internet to my house was intermittent, not when AWS went down
So you admit you can block IPv6 traffic in your rebuke to IPv6 adoption. What’s then the issue? Block what you want, it’s your network, but do it with a firewall and not NAT.
Sure, nature took its course, but did NATs make things better? I’m a game dev and getting two computers to talk to each other is so so much harder due to NAT traversal, requiring punchthrough servers. Voice chat and stuff need STUN/TURN servers. A game has to account for “what if my host wants to connect two clients, one of which within the NAT and one without?”
Makes far more sense to give every device an address and just talk to it and leave security and port openness up to firewalls.
IPv4 is definitely a large part of the blame for this and we need to start resting the blame there in hopes we force these companies (and their users) to actually use it. We need ISPs to support it, of course for end users, but at the enterprise level everything should be IPv6. It should have been IPv6 a decade ago, or more.
JXL isn’t lossless by default but you can encode losslessly and still get meager to fair file size reduction compared to WebP or PNG.
The arch wiki is shockingly detailed at times. I’m very impressed.
Hi hello, this is partly me. My bad. I’m not moving to Win11 (by force and by choice) so I installed Arch just to start to get the hang of things and, well, now I’m just daily driving it.
I’ve run distributions in the distant past and toyed with recent ones. I think this one is staying though.
Feels good that when my computer is idle, it’s not busy spouting off telemetry to some server somewhere. I can customize way more than before, and with Proton, I can still play the games I want to.
I use gitea for my personal projects, though if you’re not already using it, forgejo (a fork) may be better (I don’t know).
Feels like a lot of “not inventing the wheel” - which is good? There are plenty of good wheels out there.
JPEG isn’t great at storing flat-color lossless images, which is PNG’s forte.
JPEG isn’t, but JPEG-XL, on the other hand, has come into existence and has great compression while being pixel-perfect lossless as compared to PNG (among a host of other improvements).
If only it got the support it deserves (thanks Google for making that harder)
Yeah, we gotta figure our own shit out first, unfortunately. There’s so many other beautiful and safer places to visit in the world, go see those.
FINALLY! This has always annoyed me. If you’re gonna go through all the trouble of identifying that I want to exit, just DO it.
Their company is an AI assistant for shopping, so trying to put AI everywhere including places it shouldn’t be is gonna happen.
I like my build scripts dependable, debuggable, and deterministic. This is wild. When the bot makes a pull request, and the user (who may be someone else at some point) doesn’t respond with exactly what the prompt wants, what happens? What happens when Claude Code updates, or has an outage? Don’t change that GitHub action at the end’s name without remembering to update the prompt as well.
The top bit got me recently, I hadn’t needed to remote into my desktop in a while and searched “Remote” and “RDP” and found nothing. Eventually I found it was renamed to the windows app and finally logged in but was baffled as to why they would do that.
Ah, I see. GitHub reached out to Daniel saying “hey we’re actually doing that” not because it was a reaction to the post.
This appears to have prompted GitHub to warn on ambiguous Unicode characters in diffs like other source control programs (namely Gitea from the article) already do. Love it.
Finally.
