My information might be old. I haven’t worked on a Windows application in 5+ years. At that point you couldn’t.

On Windows it isn't possible to remove or rename files and directories that are being used. In order to handle this, you typically have to run some sort of helper application outsi…

I find this appeal to find something other than a “doom” view bizarre. It’s a catastrophe. Do people expect to find some version of this story that ends with “but we can solve this…

I mean my intention was to go pure, hence finding the Docker IPv6 registry and doing the IPv6 stuff with the bridge interface. My hope is folks know of workarounds and I’ll do them…

Backporting packages is a time-consuming process that actually requires skill. It is insane to expect people to do that for free on a volunteer basis because it makes your situatio…

Glad they laid off all those employees to get ready for the lean economic times.

Alpine’s use of musl means only the truly insane would be leaping to its defense. The inability to support DNS over TCP was a problem for years. Outside of that, so many things pre…

Debian at home, Debian at work.

I’ve never read an author who liked his own writing as much as this fellow. I had a couple of issues with it. - You have to accept that the concept of “the left” is in deep trouble…

Typically chatbots that I interact with are just attempting to steer me back towards FAQs. I don’t need a different interface to search your documentation in an attempt to keep me …

https://matduggan.com/ I love to write this stuff. Sometimes people like it, sometimes they don’t. It’s still a lot of fun to do.

Love mine. Works great, just swapped the joysticks out for Hall effect ones with zero drift (but higher power usage). It’s the Nintendo switch if it was designed by people who unde…

It’s a solvable problem if you optimize for multiple regions from day 1 of the app but migrating an existing stack to multi-region after the fact is often a large enough undertakin…

Google owns Waze because Waze was the hot driving app for a long time. It provided information like up to minute data on crashes, speed traps, would suggest more aggressive alterna…

Why would I thank Zeus for that? I’m supposed to be happy that being insanely rich and powerful isn’t enough for these people? They’re in the Arena of Capitalism fighting. Of cours…

I mean this is why the phrase “regulations are written in blood” exists. People are not able to remain moral when faced with the debate between revenue and doing what’s best for hu…

I’m not doing them wrong. They’re a user hostile design. The point of TOTP was just to say “here is an actually good password and a time element to it”. But expecting every user on…

Yeah sorry I should have been more clear. Currently the ARM instances in GCP when you use them as spot basically never get interrupted. We’re big into GKE so use them as a preferre…

I’ve been migrating workloads away from x86 and towards ARM on AWS and GCP since they’ve been available. This review does a great job of kinda giving you an idea of what you are go…

I mean the data suggests a fair number of people left Twitter or at least check in a lot less: https://datareportal.com/reports/digital-2023-deep-dive-the-...

My home feed on Apollo is hilarious. It's the smallest subs I subscribe to that never make it to my front page. It's basically "small hobby subs". Even if I were interested in cont…

Reddit cannot go public. Its product is volunteer work by moderators and users to produce value. There’s no way to take that work and guarantee its delivery on a quarterly cycle. T…
