danmur··on AWS forked my project and launched it as its own service
What a delightful storm in a teacup :)
danmur··on Some idiot is using your tool to mass scan our network
Ha ha ha, surely not, it's too hilarious. Must be a top tier troll :)
danmur··on RaspberryPi 4 home lab with LXD cluster
Burn :P

One small thing they're nice for is if you want to play with a cluster (e.g. nomad, kubernetes, whatever) on a budget. Of course it's not going to be great bang for buck just for performance but if you're trying out some distributed computing it's nice to be working to real limitations, network and RAM and particular.

danmur··on DigitalOcean's Hacktoberfest Is Hurting Open Source
Seems like they've taken it seriously to me.
danmur··on Half of young women will leave their tech job by age 35, study finds
It's only an inclusive culture if everyone feels like that, though.
danmur··on New in Thunderbird 78
I use "owl for exchange". It's not free but it's very cheap and I've found it to work perfectly.
danmur··on Libvirt – The Unsung Hero of Cloud Computing (2013)
Not a big fan of JSON myself but that sounds more like a bad implementation than ambiguity in the spec.
danmur··on Reddit app got 50M downloads by making mobile web experience miserable
Too late for Reddit now but free services should consider and publish their sustainability plans from the start, if they want to avoid this trap anyway
danmur··on Pleroma 2.1
Maybe someone accidentally checked in the PSDs
danmur··on Epic has published an in-game Macintosh commercial spoof in response to Apple
Microtransactions are a pretty obnoxious business model.
danmur··on Epic direct payment on mobile
Payments for whatever (eg Amazon) can still go through the web browser can't they? What stops kids doing that?
danmur··on Node Modules at War: Why CommonJS and ES Modules Can’t Get Along
This is something like what the future package and tools do, though I can say from experience it's not without its issues.
danmur··on SSH Emergency Access
If you need to the option to give someone temporary access it seems like a good option. I don't think it would add anything to my personal stuff since there's no reason I can think of to give someone else access. At work definitely.
danmur··on How the 2021 Ford F-150's onboard generator works
I believe a station wagon was the suggested alternative. Love the attitude though :P.
danmur··on Goodbye Foursquare, Hello OpenStreetMap
I thought Foursquare disappeared years ago, how bizarre.
danmur··on Automattic invests in Matrix
I have and it's now at the point where I can recommend it to my family :) (with e2e, the UX otherwise I found fine)

edit: also, congratulations, really hope matrix can get the market share it deserves

danmur··on Subspace – A simple WireGuard VPN server GUI
Great idea for a service! I do this for a bunch of personal services I host in le basement, where I don't want to either have any ports open it even expose my ip.
danmur··on Hourly 4-second sprints prevent impairment of postprandial fat metabolism
Especially if your sprints are four seconds long
danmur··on Disabling Snaps in Ubuntu 20.04
I'm using LXC from ubuntu packages for that very reason, got burned when a cluster upgraded automatically. I guess I must be very out of date if the debs no longer exist.

I actually really like snaps and that's the only bad experience I've had. I don't know why LXC would come in that form, very weird.

danmur··on Inspirational xkcd
I don't have a lot of pasta but I appreciate the sentiment
danmur··on How to burn the most money with a single click in Azure
Or just not being organised enough to calculate process realistically, that's got to be pretty difficult to do
danmur··on What is the unique value proposition of selling honey?
Barry and Mark and whoever else can't make enough honey for everyone. The value proposition is that you can exchange for .
danmur··on ‘Locate X’ allows federal law enforcement to track phones without warrants
Pretty unpleasant seeing the term open source applied like this.
danmur··on Show HN: Shox: A customisable status bar for your terminal
I need a cheat sheet to use tmux. I've no doubt I'd find it valuable if I spent some time learning it, but I can also appreciate this thing for adding a nice function without changing the way I work. Not a dig at tmux!
danmur··on We built our ML platform on AWS – and why that may have been a mistake
The grass is always greener
danmur··on WireGuard is now in Linus' tree
I do this too! Works super well, I use haproxy on the cloud side.
danmur··on One Question You Should Never Ask Your Boss
This article presents it as very black and white, it's a question you have to ask but it is good to ask yourself what is next first before you ask someone else.
danmur··on California wants to tax companies for executive pay ratio
It does seem like it's open to manipulation. More money for lawyers and accountants.
danmur··on How Shopify implemented its secure authentication service
For me (php5, older now I know) it was things like create_function() taking a string. It was (is? dunno) an ugly and crude language, no subtleties in the syntax, just warts. I'm firmly of the belief you can make good things with any language but I don't feel any desire to make things with PHP when there's other good options.
danmur··on John Carmack:“freedom to have your own style” in languages is counterproductive
Python does have warts for sure but surely indentation for conditions isn't unusual? Python forces it but I've never written e.g C or C++ and not indented anyway.
