I get what you're saying but implying someone who doesn't use the cloud is not a "normal person" and lives in a basement is needlessly condescending. Not an average or "normal" com…

Now we can place bets on personal blogs! $50 that xeiaso.net will overtake justine.lol this year. (Kidding of course, they're two of my favorite sites.)

Of course, the software that goes onto a NixOS installation is the same as on most other Linux distros so it's not any different in that regard. What I was trying to say is the con…

Sorry to be that person but: As someone who's been using NixOS as their daily driver for about three years (after switching to it from Debian) and is currently trying out a MacBook…

If you're looking for something different in AAA shooters, try Splatoon. It's basically the antithesis to classic shooter tropes and it has a whole world of art designed around it …

Welp, I guess HN has answered. On my front page it says: > 6. Ask HN: Imagine a world with 1Tb/s internet. What would change? > 7. OpenSSH Backdoors (isosceles.com)

To clarify maybe, NixOS puts all configuration and program files it handles in a world-readable object store on disk. If you want to manage secrets on NixOS securely, you have two …

Isn't screen reader support implemented using AT-SPI over D-Bus? So I would expect it to be independent of the window system. On https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Accessibility/AT-S…

Two sides of the enterprise coin.

It can do them but maybe only once.

Hopefully no one asks where the bathroom is.

What I like about Go is not the language itself (I'm not a language designer but I dislike a lot of choices that Go makes) but the entire culture around it of doing things the idio…

I think parent was pointing out that you need Linux to run Docker (since it doesn't run natively on any other OS) which is different from what Cosmopolitan provides. Edit: Ok, appa…

My first thought was "How does it handle untrusted input?" and they have a page dedicated to it: https://rkyv.org/validation.html But the phrasing on that page does not exactly ins…

Yeah, my employer does that. We call it "infrastructure". /s

I was thinking of the case where your server has to send out bounce mail but I guess if it's configured right, it should also just relay that.

How does that work exactly? Do you set up your server as higher priority MX and the external provider as backup and then configure your server to relay outbound mail through that o…

Occasionally I've seen people fail and add the pixel as an attachment instead.

Flakes will hopefully be that soon but I wouldn't recommend starting with flakes when learning Nix in 2023. They're experimental and you still need to learn most of flake-less Nix …

Given that the repo says "Just some little toys." in the description[1], I don't think this is made to be used in production. Otherwise it would be an interesting idea but also mor…

When I write tooling for myself in Go, I usually wrap all of my errors with stacktraces since I hate having to grep for a string that may be interpolated or duplicated throughout t…

Browsing the site on Tor Browser gave me a Google 403 page until I cycled circuits a few times. Makes perfect sense given the blog is hosted on GCP but it did make me pause initial…

If tri-state logic becomes viable it's game over for binary!

That's neat but doesn't `case` support fallthrough? So I expect you could just put your script in one big `case` statement and skip to the branch you need.

The big difference then vs. now is that with CAPTCHAs you can (generally) choose to complete them from a wider range of browsers and devices that have no corporate approval (unless…
