I’ve self-hosted for 21 years. I also run mail servers for others, mostly non-profit adjacent groups who don’t have the capital to be extorted by cloud service providers. Sure, the…

> That's just how SSH works I know that. Just because SSH automatically sends my local $USER doesn't mean they have to report the value received in the SSH username automatically o…

I would prefer the connection instructions made clear that the default SSH username would be used to set up my username on the platform and display that to other users without init…

Umm, just no. "Law" =/= statute. I see this also purports to link to secondary regulation, but there's a reason lawyers pay huge chunks of cash to professional firms that ingest co…

>> Or inspect their SOC2 documents? > SOC2, ISO27001 and all that shit is not the same thing. Hard agree. SOC2/ISO27001 are a thing that might be useful, but are mostly a framework…

(not top poster) > Isn't Headscale server-side only ? Yes. You're still running the native Tailscale client code on the hosts, which this evidence reveals can't be as trusted as Ta…

Exactly this. Most of my time writing code is now not necessarily spent writing the said code, but going through whatever Claude or some other agentic process produced and tidying …

Seeing the level of thought that went into user experience design, research, and arguing for the _right_ page to redirect to is such a delight. Engineering (as with so many profess…

Completely agree. I use randomness for all of these now – plausible randomness if it’s possible I’ll have to give it over a phone.

My first name can be shortened, and I go by either. When I first signed up to Claude, I thought we were entering the world of artificial “intelligence”, so I told it my name was “ …

Thanks! Oh I have every confidence we are still studying this, and that it's a thriving field – forgive me for implying that it wasn't. I was (badly) getting at the fact that back …

Agree with the other commenter - this is very charming! I find it a wonderfully romantic idea to contemplate that, at some point in human past, studying and developing new knots (o…

Nice site, but I'm really missing any altitude reference for the satellites. It's hard to use any satellite tracker with any degree of utility other than as a toy website when it's…

Possibly a separate concern, but I have some degree of confidence that the requirements and oversight of the CA/B forum (or whomever else determines which root certs go into bundle…

The article lets itself down when it reveals it's had some marketing "polish" added: "where certain resources (like an AI model instance) are stored" They could have picked somethi…

I’ve consciously not used Fable because I want some usage allowance to remain for the rest of the week. The 2x billing is just too aggressive for me when I tried it (max x20 plan u…

I believe some Tube stock uses wheel revolution counters to track where the train is and trigger announcements, although a lot of signalling will be going over to using balises to …

> If trains were made cheaper, some of them would become extremely unpleasant to use. Yes, it is a fact of modern life that one reason there's no political will to reduce ticket pr…

This information is derived from open signalling data, which the signalling system _has_ to track to operate trains safely and identify their locations. The reality is the illusion…

There's no way its input data is anywhere near adequate for the rate the position indicators refresh, so it's taking some base data and then just... guessing the rest.

Not affiliated with the site, but it's almost certainly just the Train Describer feed from Network Rail to observe headcodes stepping through berths, and then doing some proprietar…

It's probably a static feed, and they've probably had to do some lifting to define the layout and map that to the raw data they get from Network Rail, and they've probably not upda…
