But that's on their (free!) hosted OSS platform. No-one's stopping you hosting your own projects.

Really? I'm genuinely surprised. I've used it plenty for things like driving trip to remote places with poor signal (e.g. where you'll want to be able to get directions back to civ…

> Better even: you can let the user backup their data themselves! Whilst that's better for a small audience of techy types (most here, I'd guess), you know that's not true for most…

You're not wrong, but this feels like an equivalent to range-anxiety in electric cars. The area you can download is still pretty large - whole cities, big chunks of countryside. I'…

I think the generous take would be... - it demonstrates they have funding (pre-empting "no-one will fund something weird like this") - its transparent and open (pre-empting "which …

Ohhhh that's not a bad idea at all. I'd read the article and was still largely in the "but why do I care?" space, but hands off management makes a lot of sense.

Yeah this person saved you. They were asked if you'd fit in and they gave the most diplomatic, polite feedback that they knew would be be taken as a no. Their comment was a pretty …

Oh I thought exactly the opposite! I feel like every security blog (or even just tech blog) I've read recently has had paragraphs and paragraphs of largely LLM generated explainer …

> You don't have to buy books with notes in them Although tbf its kinda hard to check without reading the whole book, no? A bit like saying "you don't have to buy a jigsaw puzzle w…

I feel like this is a deliberately obtuse response to a real and irritating change. Old reddit is going to be MUCH, MUCH easier to scrape. Scraping has the potential to bring down …

Ah, OK, its the weird GitHub non-release that threw me. Thank you!

I don't mind having a bulletin so much as the claim that it's fixed in 1.98.9 or newer, when that release doesn't appear to exist yet. Feels pretty weird practice to advise upgradi…

But are there any good self-hosted wrappers? I ditched wireguard for tailscale for the ease of managing it. I'd much rather run my own independently but CBA with the config editing…

I don't think anyone's saying audiobooks aren't "valid" or worthwhile. Just that if someone asks you if you were reading this morning, you should probably say "no" if you were list…

> I did not claim they do not improve their products. Apologies that I didn't notice you weren't CommonGuy, who said "improving them in the future is not really their style". Consi…

Nah, you don't get to claim they don't work on improving their products, and then handwave away actual updates to it with "yeah but those aren't the improvements I wanted". That's …

Some of its about sharing the pain. e.g. when Crowdstrike takes down Windows across the worlds or AWS east coast falls over everybody hurts. At that point the story is easy, you po…

No, this is just a silly take. AWS can make data export free, and no-one's going to shout at them that it's not free because it cost money to store the data there in the first plac…

Exactly. I stopped reading part way through. The first thought was ... this seems like quite a lot of words to say not an awful lot of contents. And then the sentences started jump…

I'm not the commenter, but for me ghostty was good for being a Very Good terminal experience with almost no config required. Just checked and the config file for my daily use termi…

Not the commenter, but yeah, I think I do. Setting out to do something commercial (and succeeding), is different from setting out to do something firmly non-commercial and then com…

Except it's nothing like that, because the numbers are so different.

> Not a workaholic, I don't think, but a 24/7 stress monkey when I think that I could be helping I er... think you might be a workaholic. But I'm glad for you that your current set…

You'll note I didn't actually say it was people who are prolific that were the problem. I've worked with great prolific devs. They're often very humble, happy to explain their work…

> Code review doesn't scale to prolific humans I've worked with people who consider themselves 'prolific humans'. Someone always has to tidy upp later, and its never them
