johanbcn··on Meta is adding rate limits and soft paywall to smart glasses
Well, of course it's getting rate limited behind a subscription. Someone has to pay for all the additional compute and storage required to datamine your conversations.
johanbcn··on Macaroni – a single HTML file messenger
> changing it [the license] is allowed as long as the name is changed.

But what if that's exactly what I want to do?

johanbcn··on A decade of Docker containers
I don't have a Mac environment, but I have researched a bit for devex purposes, and I would go with the Colima project as a open source solution for containers on mac. Have you tried it?
johanbcn··on The recurring dream of replacing developers
The link redirects back to the blog index if your browser is configured in Spanish, because it forces to change the language to spanish and the article is not available in spanish.

Here's an archived link: https://archive.is/y9SyQ

johanbcn··on App Store web has exposed all its source code
And some webmasters were pretty keen on interfering with the context menu and your shortcut keys in order to prevent you to see it (and failing).
johanbcn··on An individual can change an organization
Yeah, no.

If it's not part of my job, and neither is my own company, it's not my problem.

johanbcn··on An upgraded dev experience in Google AI Studio
Do you guys really think these obvious marketing comments will work here?
johanbcn··on Git Bug: Distributed, Offline-First Bug Tracker Embedded in Git, with Bridges
Funny.

Some days ago, on the Firefox mover to github topic, people were wondering if issue trackers should also be distributed.

Seems an interesting idea.

johanbcn··on My stupid noise journey (2023)
That's right. I was digging through the comments on the substack version of the post and he confirmed it: https://dynomight.substack.com/p/noise/comment/17817515
johanbcn··on Atlassian announces end of support for Opsgenie
You set up another alerting system to watch the alerting system. Duh!
johanbcn··on My son (9 yrs old) used plain JavaScript to make a game, and wants your feedback
I learned how to use Autodesk animator on DOS when I was 7 years old. Then again, I have been a geek all my life.
johanbcn··on Aristotle – How to live a good life
If blasting other nations is your thing, then sure, why not?
johanbcn··on Routers cyber security best practices
Do change the default name of the SSID, but avoid choosing a new one that sounds cool, fun, or original.

Take a look at the rest of networks on your area and choose an SSID name as similar as possible to the rest. Better keep a low profile than drawing unnecessary attention on yourself.

johanbcn··on Using ARG in a Dockerfile – beware the gotcha
It's explained on the official documentation: https://docs.docker.com/reference/dockerfile/#scope
johanbcn··on Take a look at Traefik, even if you don't use containers
> Technical writers: documentation by example is good only for newbies skimming through. People familiar with your product need a reference and exhaustive lists, not explanation for different fields spread over 10 tutorial pages. Focus on those that use the product day in and day out, not solely on the "onboarding" procedure.

I agree. We all would benefit by giving more exposure to documentation frameworks such as https://diataxis.fr

johanbcn··on Visualizing malicious IP addresses
> Can anyone conjecture on what might account for the apparent change?

Many companies that do not have business in countries known for their abundance of bad actors will block their IP ranges right away.

Nowadays hackers worth their salt will make use of botnets and VPNs located at more "friendly" countries.

johanbcn··on Show HN: dockerc – Docker image to static executable "compiler"
Weeell... There's a feature list with the following pending entry:

> MacOS and Windows support (using QEMU)

johanbcn··on Platform Tilt
Yeah, but that means all major browsers agreeing on a standard, and we all know how that goes.
johanbcn··on Setenv Is Not Thread Safe and C Doesn't Want to Fix It
Libraries shouldn't be reading environment variables, that responsibility should be only for the application.
johanbcn··on Prisoners of Google Android development
Yes and no. These notices started last year, but back then targeted lower API levels, which is why OP might not have seen them until now.

But it's true that the first notice was sent months before the time limit, so he might have missed previous warnings.

johanbcn··on How to stop the “login with Google” pop up window?
"This question is locked and replying has been disabled."
johanbcn··on A definitive guide to Docker in 2023
...and it's already outdated.

Docker compose versioning was deprecated a long time ago.

johanbcn··on Outdated vs. Complete: In defense of apps that don’t need updates
Someone will then come up with "Maintaina-bot-bot", so that we don't have to bother clicking that button.

Programmers are lazy creatures.

johanbcn··on Vulhub: Pre-Built Vulnerable Environments Based on Docker-Compose
Also, the install instructions suggest installing the python implementation of docker-compose, which has been deprecated in favour of the compose docker plugin.
johanbcn··on Fisher Price Chatter Telephone with Bluetooth
> Surely there were non-"appified" versions available?

Ironically, those are probably more expensive. Privacy has become a commodity.

johanbcn··on Mighty Makes Google Chrome Faster
Dan Kaminsky died three days ago, and someone recommended on the news thread his talk "The hidden architecture of our time", which goes about process isolation, cloud computing and infosec.

I watched it today, and funnily enough, he started by showcasing a fully working chrome browser inside a chrome tab, being serviced from a virtual machine of some cloud provider.

That talk was from five years ago.

johanbcn··on The S in IoT is for Security
Yeah, I'm wondering the same, since he refused to use the app at all, so no sniffing packets either.
johanbcn··on Raspberry Pi 400 Desktop PC
I'm hoping some company takes the new Compute Module 4 and does that. Would be great as a thin client + browser only machine.
johanbcn··on Dependency
Depends on your browser. On chrome, just long-press on the image until the context menu pops-up with the alt text on it.
