e12e··on Claude for Legal
You jest, but combination of robotics and AI is likely the only constructive way to deal with the population getting older.

On the other hand - now it should be possible to tackle some of those one by one?

e12e··on YellowKey Bitlocker Bypass Vulnerability
Looks like it triggers a debug modus which in turn replay filesystem transactions from transaction logs?

Depends on how many hands you've recently broken?

e12e··on Lanzaboote – NixOS Secure Boot
Does it play well with bitkeeper full disk encryption?

Previous attempts at dual booting windows 11 on a laptop - I had issues when Linux updated boot alternatives - windows would demand bitkeeper recovery key input.

e12e··on dBase: 1979-2026
As an alternative to leaving this to an LLM I came across:

https://github.com/infused/dbf/

I'm not sure what the article suggests - create a custom rust program that reads and writes to a given dbf file? Create a rust program that mirrors the PRG code, writing/reading data in a custom format?

e12e··on Mythical Man Month
Sounds like a blog post on your experience would be very interesting.

Like a sibling comment - I'm also curious about what that 12x means for you and your business - same revenue at fewer hours? More revenue, fewer hours? Etc.

e12e··on Programming Still Sucks
I think the very definition of society implies that we are all owed a lot, and we all owe a lot to society. Politics is about deciding what.

Education? Safety? Medical help? A home? Food? Transport? Communication?

These are things society needs to provide.

In turn, we provide society with labour, applied skills, decision making etc.

If there is no (trusted, working) social contract - society breaks down.

If we allow a small elite to monopolize the productivity gains and efficiency increased from new technology - the results will be dire.

I see the more feasible solutions to be some kind of universal income or negative tax - combined with reduced work hours (eg 30 hour weeks, to start).

e12e··on Proton Meet
Interesting to hear both user experience and thoughts on:

e12e··on pgxbackup: Continuity Support for pgBackRest
Tried submitting that as seperate link for discussion - I'm sure many would be relieved seeing the project live on.

Unfortunately I guess hn doesn't allow LinkedIn posts?

e12e··on CVE-2026-31431: Copy Fail vs. rootless containers
In fairness, after heartbleed - there was quite a push to move away from openSSL - like Google's boring ssl, openbsd libressl and Mozilla/nss or gnutls - but the alternative here would be moving to a different kernel, like freebsd or open Solaris/Illumos ...

I don't understand why these models try censor stuff that should be in any decent encyclopedia.

e12e··on New copy of earliest poem in English, written 1,3k years ago, discovered in Rome
In Norse mythology "the nine realms" encompass the entire world - but there's no definive list of what realms constitute the nine.

In the center, humans inhabit Midtgård. The gods in Valhall and the Jotun in Jotunheim.

Then there's also Helheim or Hel - for the dead, Alfheim for the elves, Svartalfheim for the dwarves...

e12e··on Zulip 12.0 Released
> It lacked even basic features like the ability to create a topic/channel.

Pretty sure you can define a new topic from all clients.

On mobile you currently need to use the web interface to create a channel.

I don't know why using an agent would need multiple channels - but sounds like one solution would be have the agent create channels via the API?

e12e··on Who owns the code Claude Code wrote?
Interesting - so local models, like Google Gemini is then likely pirated by this interpretation - because the model is distributed? Ditto open weight models?
e12e··on Who owns the code Claude Code wrote?
> books they bought and destroyed (legal)

They're only legal if training is fair use - and even I don't think it's immediately clear what would be the legal status of verbatim regurgitation of code in copyright, or code protected by patents?

AFAIK I (as a human developer) can't assume that I can go and copy code out of a text book, and then assume copyright and charge for a license to it?

e12e··on Who owns the code Claude Code wrote?
Seems to gloss over other kinds of contamination, beyond GPL code. Code from pirated text books, the problem with the entire language model being trained on copyright data, and on the possibility of the training data containing various copyrighted code.
