Tangential but still related to that story, but the battle for the meaning of "REST" is already lost. Saying an API follows REST but doesn't implement HATEOAS (part of its definiti…

Online typing speed tests are in a really good position to collect and sell this data, if they aren't already doing it.

> Similar to how us vim users keep updating/rewriting our config. What (or why) are those frequent config changes? I use neovim and I can say I've migrated[1] to vim packages (from…

As far as I understand, everything ends up centralized to USA anyway (ICANN), who then tells everyone what TLDs are allowed or not.

Don't forget: * No relative imports. * The `require` directives from the `go.mod` files of your dependencies are always ignored. Those two combined, mean that there's no easy way t…

> My recommendation for DNS - on servers - would be to install unbound locally and use that. At least on Ubuntu 26.04, you can't easily bind Unbound on a WireGuard interface becaus…

And when you don't need the Steam Deck for gaming anymore, it is still useful as a home server.

I don't know, if I didn't know Mullvad or GrapheneOS, and saw ad on TV, I'd probably check it out. Or an ad about an ISP with IPv6 support, at the very least it would make me check…

If `docker` is already there, why even bother with `sudo` when you can just: docker run --rm -it -v '/:/mnt' -u 'root' 'alpine' '/bin/sh' '-l' Chances are that the person who set u…

If it helps, I didn't find anything wrong with your comment. I appreciate the link and the info :)

A text input field for entering your command line(s), with a text log for the output, does indeed seem to be the crabs of software. Usually with some abstractions that allow you to…

Out of curiosity, do you have (and want to share) stats about requests per second? It's always nice to know these things for future reference. No worries if not :)

I think there was an SMBC comic about this topic, but I don't think I can find it, and the site doesn't exactly make it easy. I don't even remember if it was pre-2020 or not. It wa…

If I had to use AI with neovim I'd probably use https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/99 or one with a similar workflow.

Except instead of sending through post offices, it'd probably be through "runners" like on Mirror's Edge.

And even then, getting interviews is one thing, but getting offers is something completely different. And there's also the advantage of having a current job, instead of an increasi…

Not exactly a "news" site, but this is still an example site that you'd expect would have a feed: https://mistral.ai/news/
