I've looked over the code, and some things seem a little odd to me. The article starts by mentioning how insecure the browser is, apparently even cookies aren't secure. But then th…

Self-hosted FreshRSS, NetNewsWire on Mac, Fluent reader on linux/windows/ios. Any reader compatible with Google Reader API works with FreshRSS, and Fluent was the nicest UI I've se…

I was able to make a uWebsockets adapter for NestJS pretty easily. It's a bit sensitive of a library to integrate though, a single write when the connection is gone and you get a s…

I was under the impression that the underlying net/http library uses a new goroutine for every connection, so each websocket gets its own goroutine. Or is there somewhere else you …

That's just an arms race. The kid will find a new favorite website to play games on, there seems no end to them. There's endless websites out there that are more appealing than doi…

Yes, that was kind of my point. Self-hosted negates the need, but most can't self host.... so that leaves end-to-end encryption the best intermediate step.

I self-host Immich and its definitely my favorite web photo system. One thing with Ente that aligns more with Mozilla's approach to data however is end-to-end encryption, which Ent…

Yep, some of the nicest docs for a language I've seen.

The mix package manger for Elixir has a release option which compiles and bundles everything to a single binary. It appears possible to use Gleam libraries/code with mix, which sho…

Definitely, while I have volsync backing it up, and the PV is replicated for local availability.... still annoying.

I've been self-hosting a lot of things on a home kubernetes cluster lately, though via gitops using flux (apparently this genre is now home-ops?). I was kind of expecting this arti…

The patents page ( https://www.google.com/patents/opnpledge/patents/ ) does not include the macaroon patent. Maybe they forgot to update it?

That was what the authors claimed when I asked them about the macaroon patent. It'd be nice if Google had a legal document associated with patents they never plan to enforce, or th…

I remember when I saw a presentation by the macaroon authors a few years back, there were pending patents that Google filed around them. While the authors claimed Google wouldn't s…

This is how I use the tool the author created, Structurizr. I auto-generate the initial diagrams, then manually fix it to make it more readable. We then check-in the JSON workspace…

Not sure, it depends on what the numbers look like going back to the founding of the company. Tesla probably wouldn't have survived in the past without the credits, but as others i…

He added some context specifically about that note: https://twitter.com/stealthygeek/status/1596605162294218753 It would be interesting to see the % of profit over time from regula…

That's a once type thing, the website is supposed to prompt you after that QR login whether you'd like to enroll your local authenticator (Chrome, Edge, Firefox,etc) after you logi…

Disclaimer: I've done some development on Home-Assistant (HASS), and work on the Nabu-Casa cloud service for Home-Assistant. I was contacted by a NixOS core contributor to see if t…

Maybe not a surprise that they also have trouble getting employee's right now?

Not sure a pig farmer has the best perspective on this. I've been on farms in my area, that have land that is not usable for farming, too many rocks, too hilly, etc. The land has e…

My biggest two issues: 1) Stripe docs are inaccurate. They frequently don't work exactly as they describe for given subscription workflows. Sometimes an API call is entirely wrong,…

Yup, that hasn't changed in our experience. If you're looking at bursty traffic beyond what AWS will pre-warm for you, then this likely won't work. We have fairly consistent loads …

Yes, if you terminate TLS its drastically cheaper. Without TLS, each NLB unit lets you have 100,000 concurrent connections. With TLS, a single unit is 3,000 connections. Similar pr…
