Thanks!

FWIW: That project was started as an internal tool with a playful acronym and then went from obscure to well-known enough to making renaming a somewhat regrettable concept rather q…

Ok but the premise of physical harm in person comes from the parent comment, not mine: "Most of those dependencies represents at least one human being who can be threatened with a …

Good points. I suspect for a lot of projects reproducible builds are themselves a bit of a hurdle and not being verified in the rarer case that they already exist, but the point of…

Those are interesting points / possible approaches, however is there any indication that this particular project enables any of that? This seems focused on signing binaries / build…

Why can't they be "threatened with a crowbar" to sign the exploit?

A zero-sized type + hashmap for sets is also done in Go with a `struct{}`. [1][2] But without generics it must be implemented again for each entry type ... Kubernetes uses a code g…

Those things don't have to be inherently slow and e.g. external IP don't need to block bring-up. I've worked on KIND and on clusters on clouds (at Google, but on multiple clouds) a…

`go mod vendor` will populate all dependency sources into `./vendor/` in a modules project for easy grepping. Some projects still use this to ensure sources work airgapped as well.…

Is what appears to be less than 2,000 lines including detailed comments etc. "quite a lot"? This seems like a manageable amount to very carefully maintain and not at all like writi…

this seems like a pretty trivial amount of C, by comparison, and a pretty solved problem now.

FWIW Google did this ("letting go" of an asset) with Kubernetes / the CNCF. I work on this at Google, but Google no longer owns this since 2015.

As I understand it they only removed these after their underlying server provider banned Epik over it ... They also still provide DNS for 8chan/8kun, and continue to host the daily…

This should actually finally be fixed as iOS 14 rolls out, of course there's still IE ... https://css-tricks.com/webp-image-support-coming-to-ios-14/ https://caniuse.com/?search=we…

Can you elaborate on what you mean by link field? I've searched a bit but I'm not certain what you're referring to in this context.

Do you know if any browsers are doing this? In practice on iOS nothing seems better than safari + the content rules for adblocking, but I admittedly didn't try every app Shipping y…

TIL, thank you :)

In this context they're more or less the same, because the relevant networking / adblocking bits are in webkit, AIUI. It's true that safari and webkit are not the same, this commen…

If you read my comment again you'll note the only claim I make about adblocking is that all browsers must use the same runtime. I don't claim that it's broken, but the ability to s…

that's fair, but and this post are still not equivalent at all.

But all of them are safari core, Apple does not allow other browser runtimes, they're only the custom UI around the webview. [1] All of the core browser bits including adblocking a…
