One of the few things I miss after ditching the mac

Very interesting! The choice with the subnetting is a bit odd to me, it's surprising that you got the hosts talking to each other with that addressing. I would have chosen a proper /30 between the two computers, that would be 10.0.0.1/30 and 10.0.0.2/30.

    10.0.0.0 network address
    10.0.0.1 host (usable)
    10.0.0.2 host (usable)
    10.0.0.3 broadcast address

Nice writeup nonetheless!

unfortunately, compilation times are not so good.

Interesting bits are to be found under the rug :-)

Very useful. Just built and installed with the Go tooling.

Friendly reminder: you can name the binary WHATEVER YOU WANT in your system. There's absolutely no need to nitpick on the name.

Thank you! I'm much better now.

Back in 2020 I could very well have been the Pete in this story. I was struggling so bad with mental health issues, financial issues. On top of that, my father was giving the figh to prostatic cancer. I was just starting working remotely for the first time for a Canadian company. My employers were the nicest guys I have ever meet online and I was thrilled to have been asked to work for them as a software developer. At first I felt relieved because I finally landed in a job to do things I like using the tools I like with great people. Even though I desperately needed money, I was willing to work on a dime just to prove myself that I was sufficiently skilled to be "one of them".

But as exciting as it felt, there was an impedance that made things so difficult for me and my brain. It rapidly started to erode my self-confidence, I began pushing so hard trying to solve every task and every little detail in the most perfect way possible and felt like I was failing at everything. I certainly was failing at one thing and it was communication. The language was a barrier (English is not my native language), and I think there might have been some kind of «cultural mismatch» at play too. In hindsight, I think my employers were also failing to read what I was writing on the wall. I let them know I was struggling with mental health issues and I think I made sufficiently clear what my struggles were. They tried to help me the best they could but kept insisting on things that were irrelevant to me. Apparently they thought maybe I was doing "just a theatre" because I was afraid of asking to renegotiate my compensation (I wasn't). That was particularly frustrating to me.

At some point, feeling like a lightning rod in the middle of a thunderstorm, I was on the brink of doing what can't be undone. I had it all planned.

Lucky me, my wife was wakeful enough to notice what was going on and helped me get out of the pit.

I don't think it's necessary to physically cut cables. What if critical infrastructure is isolated from savages by just not having routes to/from them? I mean, in a similar way the Team Cymru UTRS[1] works by publishing a list of BGP filters to be imported in routers.

Probably I'm just naive but I really don't understand this cyber warfare theater. Why aren't all internet operators in the free world just blackholing all russian ASNs (complete with the other allied bullies) from the internet routing tables? Wouldn't this be enough to avert all the nasty attacks on critical infrastructure?

the wordle craze is getting out of hand

Impressive. Yet another disappointing reminder that, as a programmer, I'm not worth the salt of the food I eat daily.

Very cool project! It's exciting to see two reputable Qt & KDE devs doing fresh stuff. (as a long-time linux user and Qt and KDE hobbyist I recognize their names like a sports fan recognizes their favorite players' names)

"Regain your independence and protect your privacy by installing your own email server. It takes less than 10 minutes!"

Well, I just spent more than 10 minutes and couldn't even find a download link. There's nothing in the page that suggests it's an actual free and/or open-source project.

I too remember _why.

Already replaced fail2ban for sshguard [1], which I like better. But I'll be testing this even not being a fan of crowd sex :-)

Dr. Richard Hipp? Thanks for all your work. The world is a significantly better place thanks to you.

What a neat idea! Congrats on the project!

Without having a look at the sources yet: could sqlc generated code take any advantage pgx[1] extra features or is it designed to use strictly database/sql?

Thanks for sharing. I've been perusing your blog posts and GitHub repositories for a week or so. Very useful stuff :)

Screen res/size, 3D (aka force) touch, front camera (5 vs 1.2MP), slightly bigger battery.

There’s croc[1] too, which is basically the same thing but written in Go.

I bet y'all would enjoy reading the article after installing this Chrome Extension [Cloud To Butt Plus](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cloud-to-butt-plus...).

MikroTik gear is awesome. Extremely flexible and reliable. I work with different models daily since ~2007.

Would it be acceptable for vegans to eat animals that died accidentally or without human intervention? There’s some valuable proteins in that squashed skunk ma’am

Yes, I think my discomfort comes mostly from that. And from realizing that I'm getting older, with too many responsibilities and less time each day in a path with no return. At this point I even doubt switching to a software dev job would be satisfying for me anymore.

I'm 36 and already feel "old" and unfit to continue pursuing a career as a software developer, which I consider(ed?) my dream job. I began programming at ~20 yo but had to work in another barely related field (still in IT) because where I live it's more profitable as a lone ranger. It's difficult to find peers in my area.

I work as an independent consultant wearing many hats, doing all kind of weird network related jobs for small cable operators and small/medium businesses in a shitty country in south america. This includes devops tasks, planning data networks with structured cabling, fiber optics, setting up and maintaining servers, routers, switches and a bunch of appliances that I didn't even know they existed a few years ago (all that ugly shit in HFC networks). I hate my job and feel very unhappy and depressed. I'm on meds, many visits to psychiatrist lately.

All these years I kept learning all I can. I'm an avid *nix user, can program in a few languages and have read more about programming languages, libraries, frameworks, etc. that any other subject that I can think of. I dropped out of university only a few years from getting a degree but continued spending my free time learning about software development just because I like it. I enjoyed many detours with many technologies, loved learning Java, C++/Qt, Python, Go, Perl, etc. I spent too much time and money in books, online courses, software licenses, etc that I feel failed and guilty.

I was actually surprised when Kaspersky announced NIC.br was compromised and many banking sites where hijacked. If I remember correctly, they (NIC.br) identified a vulnerability but then denied Kaspersky claims.

I use it all the time (in macOS and Linux) for running MikroTik's[1] configuration tool (named "winbox.exe").

Aren't you doing exactly that with another recursive resolver?

"by the end of 2017"?

This must be a joke. Why not earlier? Why do they have to wait a whole year to enforce a ban like this?

It's almost like "China announces ban on human trafficking by end of 2017". Yeah, let's give criminals some time to find new career opportunities!

I don't see anything disruptive here. I already have roughly the same cost/benefit with Linode.
