TechSquidTV··on Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, but Trump might offer lifeline
Its a business. With ad and an e-commerce network to support that content. Without that connection, it will die.
TechSquidTV··on dnSpyEx: .NET debugger and assembly editor
I laughed out loud lol. We have LLMs for this now.
TechSquidTV··on Why is Cloudflare Pages' bandwidth unlimited?
edit: it was a joke folks, because I like the free tier.
TechSquidTV··on dnSpyEx: .NET debugger and assembly editor
Ahh I remember this. I used this to successfully bypass the registration of a small web scraper back in the day.

I'm going to have to ask you to keep your voice down, sir.
TechSquidTV··on Servo vs. steppers: Speed, Torque and Accuracy [video]
I was googling exactly this just two days ago. Great timing.
TechSquidTV··on Tactility: OS for the ESP32 Microcontroller Family
If you buy a desktop computer it 100% does not come with a screen and only sometimes comes with a basic keyboard. This doesnt seem relevant.
TechSquidTV··on Air missile accident emerges as probable cause of Azerbaijan E190tragedy
Anything to let them get away with it again.
TechSquidTV··on Air missile accident emerges as probable cause of Azerbaijan E190tragedy
Don't worry. I'm sure we'll do nothing about it. Again.
TechSquidTV··on Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens
This has really shown that the be true. I am stuck in a situation right now where I have some lost media I want to upload but they have been down for over a week. I plan to create a torrent in the meantime but that means relying on my personal network connection for the vast majority of downloads up front. I looked into CloudFlare R2, not terrible but not free either.

I was looking into using R2 as a web seed for the torrent but I don't _really_ want to spend much to upload content that is going to get "stolen" and reuploaded by content farms anyway you know?

TechSquidTV··on The largest Internet Archive is under siege – and fighting back
Literally none of this was relevant to the article. Are you insinuating that Google owns archive.org? It does not. Google is not in any way affiliated with this.
TechSquidTV··on Poll: Do you use browser profiles?
Technically yes but extremely rare
TechSquidTV··on Show HN: Graphite, a Blender-inspired 2D procedural design Rust app
Immediately looking at the screenshot and I'm impressed. No further review I can tell this is different. I've always said we need more "Blender"-like projects out there to take on Adobe. I see you potentially have plans to take on other apps as well. Following and hoping for your success.
TechSquidTV··on Starship Flight 5: Launch and booster catch [video]
I grew up playing Halo, and this was purely fiction at that point.
TechSquidTV··on If AI is helping people code better, why aren't products getting better?
Are they not?
TechSquidTV··on PBS SpaceTime: The New Physics of Black Hole Star Capture [video]
Some other channels you probably already know of but may enjoy:

- https://www.youtube.com/@veritasium (specifically love his two videos on the electromagnetic force). - https://www.youtube.com/@ScienceAsylum - https://www.youtube.com/@ScienceClicEN

TechSquidTV··on Show HN: Container Desktop – Podman Desktop Companion
I saw this, I think posted here the other day, looked interesting. https://github.com/ajayd-san/gomanagedocker

A TUI alternative.

My absolute favorite channel on all of YouTube. Matt is fantastic.
TechSquidTV··on Have you ever seen soldering this close? [video]
Watching how forgiving solder can be, and me still being bad at it is blowing my mind right now.
TechSquidTV··on Pi-CI – A RasPi 5 emulator in a Docker image for creating and flashing configs
Super interesting! Thank you for this. I was working on a hardware project that this probably would have helped a lot with. I was writing some python but the package couldn't be compiled on my local machine so I had to run a dev server off my pi directly. I wonder if this can help.
TechSquidTV··on Show HN: If YouTube had actual channels
This is super fun, but I hope the content creators are being compensated. Content creators work hard to produce this content under the assumption they will be paid for it (in one of many different potential channels but the HOW is less relevant).
TechSquidTV··on Captain Disillusion debunks David Beckham beach kicks [video]
Been following for so many years, I can't remember anymore. I watch a lot of VFX related content, it could have been in my feed because of that. He's had so many viral videos, it could have been totally unrelated to my personal feed.

If it wasn't on my homepage 10+ years ago, it was likely Reddit. Been a huge fan since.

He's somewhat in the same mental collection for me as the old Corridor Digital videos.

TechSquidTV··on Faster Docker builds using a remote BuildKit instance
Thank you!
TechSquidTV··on Faster Docker builds using a remote BuildKit instance
This is fairly similar in concept to what we do over at depot.dev https://depot.dev/blog/depot-magic-explained

We've found that BuildKit has several inefficiencies preventing it from being as fast as it could be in the cloud, especially when dealing with simultaneous builds (common in CI). That led us to create our own optimized fork of BuildKit.

The number of fine-tuning knobs you can turn running a self-hosted BuildKit instance is limitless, but I also encourage everyone to try it as a fantastic learning exercise.

TechSquidTV··on Ask HN: Are .dev domains worth anything?
I work for a company that has a .dev domain, and nearly worked for another that has one as well. I think .dev is perfectly fine for developer tooling websites but it probably doesn't have super wide appeal.

It's a great way for a specific niche to get good branding. Getting a .com is absurd these days. If there is a viable, short, and memorable alternative TLD, it is often worth considering.

Do the TLDs hold value? I'm not sure, I think that's a fairly tough argument to make with .com as well.

TechSquidTV··on What are Docker layers anyway? [video]
Hey all it's been a while since I made a video, you may have seen one or two of my other videos if you've watched some Docker tutorials on YouTube. I'm now making video with Depot about all things container. Would love to take any requests.
TechSquidTV··on Initial details about why CrowdStrike's CSAgent.sys crashed
Mastodon is a PERFECT replacement. But it'll never win because there isn't a business propping it up and there is inherent complexity, mixed with the biggest problem, cost.

No one wants to pay for anything, and that's the true root of every issue around this. People complain YouTube has ads, but wont buy premium. People hate Elon and Twitter but won't take even an ounce of temporary inconvenience to try and solve it.

Threads exists, I'm happy they integrate with Activity Pub, which should give us the best of both worlds. Why don't people use Threads? I'd a little more popular outside the US but personally, I think the "algorithm" pushes a lot of engagement bait nonsense.

TechSquidTV··on DevRel's Death as Zero Interest Rate Phenomenon
A video is often an introduction to a concept before you get to the docs. the docs ARE better for getting deep into the technology but someone has to tell you about it first.
TechSquidTV··on The biggest CRT ever made: Sony's PVM-4300
This is like one of those moments for me where it feels like the phones are listening to me. I have been very actively hunting/shopping for PVMs the last two days.
TechSquidTV··on People spend more when prices end in .99 (2018)
Yes but it turns out humans don't think critically most of the time.
