benguilleton Dyson CameraJet electric toothbrush

How so? Never heard of anyone having any issues with them, and they are recommended by dentists pretty often

benguilleton macOS Tahoe brings a new disk image format

Would that potentially speed up Docker for Mac and others? (since it's using a vm underneath). That would address a major pain point

Yup, Musk already stopped following Matt Taibbi https://twitter.com/BigTechAlert/status/1644438910305464326

benguilleton I’m staying at Substack, and will be moving to Substack Notes next week

Substack must be thrilled with Twitter's decision to block their links (which will be reverted I'm sure), great publicity for Notes.

benguilleton Hexatrek: The long distance thru hike in France

That's not true. You can bivouac (== 1 night stay) anywhere in France where it's not explicitly forbidden (e.g cities/towns/national parks etc). I did a small part of it last year and slept in a tent 5 out 6 nights.

benguilleton Hexatrek: The long distance thru hike in France

I did a part of it last year. You need to walk with your tent, you won't reach a lodging site every night. I think the longest stretch without civilization (no village/town to buy food etc) is 5 days. So you also need to manage. your food and water supply.

The app is very helpful for that as it gives you water, food and lodging information on the trail related to your current position (so for instance you can see that in 10km there is a river/water fountain/grocery store etc.)

benguilleton My upgrade to 25 Gbit/s Fiber To The Home

benguilleton Migrating from Docker to Podman

One use case I see is if you're using Nix for all your local development, but Docker in production (because it's the easiest these days: package an image, give it to ECS/Fargate or equivalent and it's good to go).

You're not using Docker in development because of the sync issues on Mac between the host and the containers, but ideally you still want as much as possible the development and production environment parity (same versions of dependencies, etc). You can build your Docker images with Nix to ensure the dependencies versions you're developing with will be the same in prod.

benguilleton Apple Introduces AirTag

I couldn't find the answer in the article: will it warn right away when they detect you left your keys or backpack behind with a tag in it? Tile has this and it's great, but you need to pay the subscription for it
