    iSH for iPhone: https://ish.app Free, OSS, pretty great for ssh via VPN => tmux a => codex/claude I set up Codex to send a notification when done over Pushover ( https://pushover.n…

    You could use the OpenCode legacy patcher to upgrade to v15/Sequoia: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/

    Restaurants generally have low margins. What brand recognition do social media platforms have with an average person? How much does it cost a restaurant to list themselves on socia…

    Basically the Larry David periscope car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQRm1cg8T8I His idea was like a back up camera, but front-facing and elevated (retractable).

    A protein soda pop, as they're pivoting to, sounds like a gross version of Coca Cola. The protein bar could work. I personally don't like them, because most of them are just candy …

    How is it on battery life to run the VPN continuously?

    Glad it worked out. And I agree it’s annoying that this doesn’t just work out of the box. It’s not like node/nvm are uncommon, so you’d think they would have ran into the issue whe…

    If the author reads this: I’m sorry that you and your girlfriend are going through this. I would strongly suggest seeing a therapist. I’ve experienced traumatising moments in life,…

    It worked for me after I configured mise. I needed the mise setup in both `.zprofile` and `.zshrc` for Codex to pick it up. I think mise sets up itself in one of those by default, …

    On top of using scriptio continua, you can write your emails in ancient Greek for that truly authentic feeling.

    George: To cover my nervousness I started eating an apple, because I think if they hear you chewing on the other end of the phone, it makes you sound casual. Jerry: Yeah, like a fa…

    I'm reminded of an episode of Yes Minister with an empty hospital. The hospital has a full complement of administrative staff but no physicians or patients. Here's a clip: https://…

    More or less, delegation and peer review.

    This is a really pragmatic approach. Your errors-over-time chart feels pretty accurate to me. The yellow warnings line really sneaks up on you over time.

    iSH is great as an ssh client. It has a good font out of the box, so it displays tmux and neovim properly. a-Shell should be faster than iSH for local stuff since the tools are com…

    I’m still experimenting with them. I suspect you may have to do only one paragraph at a time and concatenate them together. Let me know if you’d be interested in collaborating, as …

    That’s true. My point was intended to be from the author perspective, rather than from the user perspective. Namely that an author using an open source project as a political platf…

    I used to use “stare” or “stale” as the starting guess when I played Wordle, thinking you’d want to start off with the most common letters, like R-S-T-L-N-E from Wheel of Fortune.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinions. My opinion is that open source documentation is like polite dinner conversation: It’s not the proper place to discuss politics. If an author…

    You can just use the UI to make whatever schedule you want (monthly, daily, every Monday, etc.). I think it edits your crontab behind the scenes. I set it to daily, but you could s…

    I'm a big fan of SuperDuper [1]. I use it for daily differential backups to a secondary SSD. I don't get the hourly backups that TimeMachine has, but my SuperDuper backups are dire…

    Could you use an approach like this much like a traditional network proxy, to block or sanitise some requests? E.g. if a request contains confidential information (whatever you def…

    Yeah, it’s not going to compare to Codex-5.2 or Opus 4.5. Some non-programming use cases are interesting though, e.g. text to speech or speech to text. Run a TTS model overnight on…

    Cloudflare tunnels makes this easy as it gets. It also makes it easy for only you to have access to it, either through sign in or OTPs. You don’t want some random person to find yo…
