Some further thoughts and a more positive spin based on watching the (breathtakingly fast) what's new video... Several of the features regarding merging, synchronisation, metadata …

Opus12 is undeniably useful. Some additional features would be useful. e.g. those of attribute changer https://www.petges.lu/ modifies metadata between source and destination witho…

Wow. A fantastic set of descriptions, service and detection tooling from portswigger and colleagues. The fact that http/1 downgrading is so prevalent and unlikely to change in the …

An extension of the zig ideas is making self contained portable and very small binaries that run everywhere from bare metal to any OS using a cross platform libc and configuring GC…

As noted below, my initial wording was unhelpful and misplaced. The infrastructure costs are covered by sponsors. The 'They should monetise' was a 'they' that I now understand are …

Issue 34 is now closed. My thanks to the patience of people there who have clarified and improved the visibility of licensing.

I'm really impressed with it and am ONLY seeking clarity. I'll be extremely happy if I can use it standalone. Copyright, licensing are all I'm looking at. e.g. Something like AGPL …

It looks impressive but it isn't clear how much you have to pay for services from them. It isn't free and you aren't in control. Your snapshots and abilities to rollback etc are li…

Update: The original post is from January 2019. Ashley Broadley's github page at https://github.com/ls12styler sadly doesn't contain a repo with his rust dev work to date (I will a…

To be truly portable it is worth considering whether your newly created Dev environment can work without the internet or in an air-gapped environment. Vscode can be problematic in …

Wasn't a criticism, just an observation from a 'user' when a key bit of infrastructure is directed by a single or small team. You are opening up a technology that you are crafting …

Jodie Foster knows how to pick a great movie. Both Contact and Anna and the king are right up there with the best.

Cap'n'proto has a number of drawbacks both from the 'one man band' pov. (Witness the two year lull when Kenton went sandstorming), an awkward API and limited language support. Pers…

A couple more links that may be helpful in this pursuit: https://sagargv.blogspot.com/2014/09/on-building-portable-li... and https://blog.ksub.org/bytes/2016/07/23/ld.so-glibcs-dyn…

There is an alternate view of what microservices should be. Check out the sample chapter for Monolith to microservice by Sam Newman. As described in this article, microservices see…

I still don't understand why people want their code dependent on the web. I want to share my one true dev environment, but I want to be able to do this on my private premises setup…

On the flip side intelligence also uncovers huge networks of despicable people. https://www.thelocal.dk/20161021/danish-man-ran-scandinavian...

Once all tesla vehicles use starlink for sending back data to Tesla HQ I'm not sure much will be left for 'rural' broadband. Nice to pick up the grants though.

Any news on what will no doubt become the definitive guide to kubernetes (no pressure).

Everyone knows that there is only one way to mount your toilet roll and that is so the paper flips over the top and to the front :) The author was hedging their bets and providing …

Thanks for the material. The icons in particular look useful. I'm always torn whether to offer a (very personal) critique, but the man/woman characters aren't to my taste but I'm s…

Such a shame these initiatives don't build on existing standards working groups but go away and reinvent a wheel instead. Take a look for instance at ETSI TC Cyber, or ETSI NFV Sec…

PlantUML has morphed into a two part tool. Its original purpose was to visualise various forms of UML diagrams. More recently it has utilised its underlying graphviz to create a mo…

My experience with capn proto was a mixed bag. Quite apart from its neglect for years as Kenton was working on sandstorm.io, I found the low level access interfaces to extract best…
