Zip isn't useful for random access here; the problem with random access in HTTP serving is then you have to decompress the data and potentially recompress. The more interesting tri…

I tried using their Magic Containers product and there were issues that showed a lack of attention to detail as well. It's supposed to scale globally (magically!) but I found multi…

> Part #2 to me, I also want observability as to what the agent changed. You could potentially combine https://github.com/binpash/try with bubblewrap (I'm not sure how well they co…

If MAME could support the VT525 (nearly the last terminal DEC made and unlike the previous DEC models it supports ANSI color) people might use it a bit more. It would be very usefu…

The post calls this out: > the 1Password browser plugin would have noticed that “members-x.com” wasn’t an “x.com” host. But shared accounts are tricky here, like the post says it's…
