dust-jacket

This all sounds great but until they stop it eating all my iOS battery I can't leave my phone connected continuously, which is such a pain.

I'm not about to switch back to the configuration management hell that was pure wireguard but it would be really lovely to not have to connect/disconnect when I want to use tailscale

Wait, you think to not be a grifter you have to "care so hard when their efforts are unappreciated"?

Wut?

I'm not encouraging the to grift, ffs, I'm encouraging them to go and work somewhere that will appreciate their efforts!

I think you've completely misunderstood my point. It's not that they shouldn't keep doing what they do, its that there are places that will appreciate what they do.

I accept that public sector, charitable sector etc, make this calculation a bit different. But in the private sector it just seems silly to give yourself to a job that doesn't appreciate what you give it.

> there are an infinite amount of books that you'd like to read

if i want to read them all, I don't need help choosing. any book is one I want to read!

if I don't want to read them, I already have opinions. I should just pick one that I do want to read.

and I don't have opinions I can just ask someone for a recommendation.

big libraries existed before algorithmic recommendations, and people managed.

that's just simply not true.

talking about doomscrolling and how it would be better not to do it is one of the favourite pastimes of the doomscroller. loads of fb users hate it but struggle to believe they could do without it.

I've never understood why people would continue to care so hard when their efforts are unappreciated.

But I've also never worked at a large company.

my guess is that they'd actually just assume you haven't bought the new one!

CVE AND release note not enough tipping off for you?

it is absolutely not on maintainers of projects to proactively notify those who've forked the project. clear and transparent notices are exactly the right approach

if you're running on scaleway, can I ask what you're doing for media storage? scaleway block storage?

Well I do make a pretty good sandwich :)

I'm grumbled in other comments here about definitions of art that are so vague that they're just "anything where you think a bit"

But I'd take them every time over a definition of art being "something for which there is a market". Screw that.

/shrugs

OK. Well I am clearly an art master of lunch planning. Who knew?

100%. Hobby is the word this article was looking for. And I don't think that's less meaningful, or that there's no way people can elevate their hobby to artform. But what the article describes is people with a hobby, not an art.

> Most solutioning is art, given that you should have more than one way to reach the target state and target state itself is negotiable and non-concrete. When there are multiple options you are forced to analyze between them, sometimes you have a preferred option if the analysis has been done before. Your choices while solutioning will reflect your experience and how you think. In short, it definitely reflects 'you'.

This is an very broad definition of 'art'. By this metric, I'm pretty sure me choosing what to have for lunch is art.

just tell it to watch CI and fix errors?

My complete guess is there's a level of bravado or over-confidence about it.

It's obviously massively generalising, but I'd say someone without ADHD is more likely to feel like the number of tasks they can do at once is only limited by pesky things like physics and time, and LLMs "solve" this by allowing them to do more at once.

A bit like when a good manager takes on more and more reports and their ability to manage the larger team goes completely to shit, but without the useful feedback loop of the grumpy, mismanaged team.

This is lovely and I feel much the same.

We live pretty close to a flight path and still point at planes as they go past and wonder where they might be going on holiday.

Sadly no longer live close enough that I can see my house when approaching the local airport. That was always cool.

But that's on their (free!) hosted OSS platform.

No-one's stopping you hosting your own projects.

Really? I'm genuinely surprised.

I've used it plenty for things like driving trip to remote places with poor signal (e.g. where you'll want to be able to get directions back to civilisation) and foreign cities (when you're on a phone contract with bad overseas data prices).

> Better even: you can let the user backup their data themselves!

Whilst that's better for a small audience of techy types (most here, I'd guess), you know that's not true for most users, right?

Like people used to lose work on hard drives and laptops that they hadn't backed up all the time and its much, much rarer now (OK, I don't have data beyond anecdata but still).

You're not wrong, but this feels like an equivalent to range-anxiety in electric cars.

The area you can download is still pretty large - whole cities, big chunks of countryside. I'd put money on the fact its good enough for most people's uses.

I think the generous take would be...

- it demonstrates they have funding (pre-empting "no-one will fund something weird like this")

- its transparent and open (pre-empting "which bastards are the ones who really own it?")

Ohhhh that's not a bad idea at all. I'd read the article and was still largely in the "but why do I care?" space, but hands off management makes a lot of sense.

Yeah this person saved you.

They were asked if you'd fit in and they gave the most diplomatic, polite feedback that they knew would be be taken as a no. Their comment was a pretty clear admission that this was not a "work life balance kind of company".

Oh I thought exactly the opposite!

I feel like every security blog (or even just tech blog) I've read recently has had paragraphs and paragraphs of largely LLM generated explainer waffle. This felt refreshingly focused and to the point.

> You don't have to buy books with notes in them

Although tbf its kinda hard to check without reading the whole book, no? A bit like saying "you don't have to buy a jigsaw puzzle with a piece missing"

I feel like this is a deliberately obtuse response to a real and irritating change.

Old reddit is going to be MUCH, MUCH easier to scrape. Scraping has the potential to bring down the site. Gating old reddit to logged in users will massively mitigate that.

I don't like it either. But it's not hard to see a good reason why doing so helps "keep reddit safe"

Even if it also coincidentally makes it easier for them to make more money. Grr.

Ah, OK, its the weird GitHub non-release that threw me. Thank you!

I don't mind having a bulletin so much as the claim that it's fixed in 1.98.9 or newer, when that release doesn't appear to exist yet. Feels pretty weird practice to advise upgrading to a non-existent version.

But are there any good self-hosted wrappers?

I ditched wireguard for tailscale for the ease of managing it. I'd much rather run my own independently but CBA with the config editing hassle.
