Does “so-called” not mean “words that someone has told us”?

The description says it supports SSH certificate authentication, but I can’t see where to configure trusted CAs.

I think how one interprets the usage of “square pixels” here is highly dependent on what that person is most familiar with. When I saw the title, even without reading the article, I immediately knew it’s talking about PAR, since I’m already familiar with video encoding standards. It didn’t even occur to me that it could be talking about the shape of physical elements on various display technologies.

> and is a one-time payment

Well technically it's like a "subscription with indeterminate renewal cycle". Every few years they release a new major version and sometimes you have to pay to upgrade.

Of course you can choose to not upgrade... but then you don't get the new features, and it's unclear if the old version will support all newer macOS releases.

> Laws. Existing laws prevent developers from doing that.

Laws mean nothing to scammy developers trying to make a quick buck. Would you hire a lawyer to sue for a $4.99 refund? And even if you’re willing to spend that money, are you sure you can figure out who to sue? The scammy developer is likely using some shell company registered in some dodgy jurisdiction. Sure, what they’re doing is illegal, but the average consumer has no real recourse.

> you do not need to pass around authorized_keys to all hosts.

But now I need to trust these random host keys, instead of a key signed by my SSH CA...

> why is that a hole?

Presumably to avoid this:

> Because you’re trying to plant backdoors you don’t want any paper trail?

Do you really want 998 goats though? It must cost a fortune to transport them home from the studio, finding a space for them to live in, and feed them, etc.

> loser must disclose the ultimate name of the beneficial owners (or material, if public) of the loser. EINs not allowed. The "trolls" are thus, branded.

So TrollCo will just pay a different homeless person $100 to be the owner on paper for each of their patents?

Not having a patent doesn’t _prevent_ you from bringing your invention to market, it just accelerates _someone_ bringing it to market, and that’s a net good for society if the invention is useful, no?

Will FreeBSD be supported in the future?

Unfortunately the article doesn't explain how to setup a RADIUS server for EAP-TLS.

> Every other Tesla model

Except for older Model S cars, which received an update a few years ago that massively reduced supercharging speed.

Weird, I’ve had my Model S for 8 years, and it never locked up once.

Is yours a MCU1 model with problematic eMMC that has worn out?

> long grain rice

Maybe you’re not the target audience. Cooking short grain rice seems to require more care, and a high end rice cooker is the easiest way to get perfect rice.

Thanks for the invite :)

Not GP but I’m also hoping someone can invite me. My email is cynix@cynix.org

Also would like to know this, I haven’t received any confirmation email or survey either, and each time I “join the waitlist” it just gives me a success message as if I’m not already on the list.

I wonder if Bluesky will be Clubhouse all over again: it was cool in the early days when invites are hard to get, but the novelty wears off quickly as it grows? Guess I'll find out once I manage to get an invite :D

Are invites given to waitlisted users in batches in FIFO order? What are my chances if I've just put my email down now?

Is there something like this for cross-compiling to FreeBSD?

I thought the default has been case-sensitive for a while.

> No, not if someone comes to a sudden stop in a busy lane. Why not? You’re meant to maintain enough distance to the car in front of you at all times that you should be able to come to a complete stop without rear-ending them.

Will Tailscale SSH support FreeBSD any time soon?

I wish there were more SBCs with PoE support.

Is there a replacement that’s still maintained?

Fast charging is bad for the battery. I’d actually be happier if the wireless MagSafe charger was slower, say around 5-8W. I have all the time in the world while asleep, why would I care if it finished charging in 1 hour vs 3 hours?

Does uMatrix work on MV3?

> $50/yr is a small price to pay for truly owning your digital life.

For some people it’s not just $50. If their whole family is on GSuite Legacy, for example, migrating away will be 4-5 times that, or more.

I wish Fastmail offered storaged-based pricing without a hard limit on the number of accounts.

> If you take the money out, or move it elsewhere, they cannot just break into your house and take the cash however

That’s because they don’t have the technical means to extract that money from your house without entering it. I’m sure they would gladly do it if they could.

> Also you haven't answered my question, which I think compares better to this situation than a random million dollars deposited into my account.

In your “car with unpaid option” example I think the manufacturer is in the right to remove it if they didn’t explicitly say you can keep it.

> No one randomly gave this guy an upgrade - it was a warranty replacement with a better item, that happens literally all the time in all kinds of industries. What doesn't happen is the manufacturer turning around few years later and taking the item back.

It’s not clear from the tweet thread if Tesla actually said “sure, you can keep the larger battery”. It seems it was an assumption made by the original owner based on… passage of time and Tesla’s inaction I guess?
