ianmurrayson Shutting down our public encrypted DNS

Does anyone know of good alternatives that also block ads? Seems Quad9 doesn't.

Here’s a lengthier explanation [1] but it’s basically an APFS feature.

ianmurrayson My phone detects going on a run as “someone snatching my phone and running off”

Interesting. I've actually never enabled biometrics on it just as a precaution, and it's a different passcode than the phone, plus I use a random set of chars as the username like many others do.

ianmurrayson As a Windows user, it's a surreal way to install a program

Same here. Especially because most installer packages rely on these specifically to install "obscure" things, so I'm immediately distrustful of them.

ianmurrayson My phone detects going on a run as “someone snatching my phone and running off”

Does the app not require authentication? At least MitID in Denmark requires a 6-digit PIN at the very minimum, or biometrics optionally.

ianmurrayson Show HN: Run an 80B Qwen in 4.3 GB of RAM on a Mac, and a 35B on an iPhone

I guess you have to know which experts to keep “hot” in ram, which you can’t know beforehand, so there wouldn’t be much gain.

ianmurrayson How to stop Claude from saying load-bearing

I have this exact problem with 4.8 and Fable. Sometimes I can barely understand what it’s saying. I’m no english first-language speaker, but I don’t consider myself bad at English either, and it’s gotten increasingly hard to understand Claude’s claims and explanations.

ianmurrayson DeepClaude – Claude Code agent loop with DeepSeek V4 Pro

Correct.

ianmurrayson Show HN: Ghost Pepper – Local hold-to-talk speech-to-text for macOS

I had Claude make this hammerspoon config + daemon that does pretty much the same, in case anyone is interested.

ianmurrayson WARP is here

ianmurrayson Apple Maps vs. Google Maps vs. Waze

Waze has more up-to-date maps than Google Maps in Chile, at least in my experience.

ianmurrayson Administrate – Rails framework for creating flexible admin dashboards

Reminds me of https://github.com/activeadmin/activeadmin which is still being maintained apparently, and is incredibly flexible and useful. Won't replace a custom admin interface, but is pretty close.

I made a simple invoicing application a while back using activeadmin and it turned out pretty great: https://github.com/ianmurrays/active_invoices
