moontear··on Why does it take so long to release black fan versions?
And it’s quieter than many of its counterparts from other vendors. And it actually doesn’t cost that much - more expensive than cheap-o versions for sure, but then again significantly quieter, that’s their whole premise.
moontear··on Why does it take so long to release black fan versions?
I enjoyed reading it. Informative and showing of their processes and giving some intricate details. And yes, the end goal is to sell products which is fine by me. I take this over any generic non-saying marketing-blurb any time.
moontear··on GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing
Not quite. Premium models have different type of multipliers applied. The multiplier decides how many PRUs (premium request units or tokens) are used. These PRUs are replaced with different units with this announcement but the methodology remains the same: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/billing/copilot-...

Sometimes the multiplier increase is significant like for Claude Opus 4.6 from 3x to 27x (https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing...), meaning using that model will use up a lot more „tokens“ (whatever the new word for it is)

moontear··on Make tmux pretty and usable (2024)
I really don't like tools that are not distributed via official package managers like apt / apk.
moontear··on Make tmux pretty and usable (2024)
+1 for gpakosz/.tmux which I also wanted to mention here. I have it synced across all machines and a personal .tmux.conf.local that modifies some settings to my liking.

Popular, yes... but have you seen the issues? SOMETHING is going on in that repo: https://github.com/instructkr/claude-code/issues

I don't know about avoided, this kind of represents the WTF per minute code quality measurement. When I write WTF as a response to Claude, I would actually love if an Antrhopic engineer would take a look at what mess Claude has created.
moontear··on Ensu – Ente’s Local LLM app
And you can self-host the server if you want to! Running Ente Auth since quite a while now and am very happy with it.

Is he ever not under fire?
moontear··on Scientists want to create 'T. Rex' quakes on the Moon
I really was wondering about the clickbaity title but it really is just a comparison:

Inspired by the thunderous footsteps of Tyrannosaurus rex, the IMENSUS engineers have designed a prototype rover that sends vibrations down through the ground beneath it to map out what resources might be there.

moontear··on Office.eu launches as Europe's sovereign office platform
That isn't true, but I don't blame anyone for not understanding what Microsoft marketing is doing in terms of branding.

See for example: https://www.theverge.com/tech/856149/microsoft-365-office-re... or https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2026/01/11/office-is...

Microsoft Office still exists, the current version being Microsoft Office 2024 for Mac & Windows. But THIS Office is the the non-subscription version of Office, this is not the cloud-connected Apps being offered via Microsoft 365. This version of Office doesn't get all the latest cloud features and stuff happening in the subscription versions.

The cloud version of Office meanwhile is being renamed left and right. The office.com homepage now redirects to Copilot and is rebranded as Microsoft 365 Copilot just like you said. If you have any M365 business or enterprise plan Office is actually called "Microsoft 365 apps for business/enterprise".

Now why the Microsoft marketing team is adamant on changing and mucking about with such a long standing brand as "Microsoft Office" nobody understands.

moontear··on Scrt: A CLI secret manager for developers, sysadmins and DevOps
"also" is a strong word for a project this young. It was started in October 2025, does not have any issues (at all) and is completely vibe coded. Not starting a discussion about security & vibe coding now, but I wouldn't blindly recommend such a nascent project if compared to something mature like SOPS.
moontear··on Scrt: A CLI secret manager for developers, sysadmins and DevOps
I thought SOPS with age is what we were doing now. Do we need yet another tooling?

moontear··on Claude Code Remote Control
Exactly that. And the push notification includes what I am approving. Also with some sensible delay in sending out these pushes, because otherwise I may be bombarded with push notifications, while already having it manually approved.
moontear··on Claude Code Remote Control
The notification payload for reference, you will also need a permission input_select (pending/allow/deny) and an automation that triggers upon mobile_app_notification_action:

  notification_payload=$(cat <<EOF
  {
    "message": "$escaped_message",
    "title": "$escaped_title",
    "data": {
      "tag": "$escaped_request_id",
      "group": "claude-code",
      "actions": [
        {
          "action": "CLAUDE_ALLOW",
          "title": " Allow"
        },
        {
          "action": "CLAUDE_DENY",
          "title": " Deny"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
  EOF
  )

Actionable notifications are a bit cumbersome on iOS since you need to long-press the notification for actions, but it does work.
moontear··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
I have multiple Google Accounts and I am running them at the same time without problems. If you really want to separate things use different browser profiles per account. My work Google account never touches my private Google account in terms of browser profiles.
moontear··on Claude Code Remote Control
Oh come on, now that I have a personal remote control already set up using hooks, specifically the PermissionRequest, and Home Assistant push notifications where I can allow or deny a specific action?
moontear··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
Time and time again it is shown to *not* use your main account for everything. This goes for Apple and having a separate account for development work, for the App Store and your main iCloud account but this also goes for all other SaaS providers.

You are doing groundbreaking new and untested stuff with Claw? Do not use your main account. You want to access your main account's data? Sure, allow it via OAUTH/whatever possible way.

Have separate accounts, people. You don't want one product groups decision in those large SaaS corps to impact everything else.

moontear··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
"how does Google figure out it happened" - no insider knowledge, but the calls Claw makes are very different than the regular IDE, so the calls and volume alone would be an indicator. Maybe Google has even updated their Antigravity IDEs to just include some other User Agent, that Claw auth does not have.

Everything just guesswork, but I don't think it is too hard to figure out whether it is Antigravity calling the APIs or any Claw.

moontear··on I found a vulnerability. they found a lawyer
This is exactly what I thought. The person did something illegal by accessing random accounts and no explanation makes this better. Could have asked his diving students for their consent, could have asked past students for their consent to access their accounts - but random accounts you cannot access.

Since this is a Maltese company I would assume different rules apply, but no clue how this is dealt with in Malta.

How the company reacted is bad, no question, but I can’t glance over the fact how the person did the initial „recon“.

moontear··on What your Bluetooth devices reveal
I don't disagree, nothing new to see here. I just thought that this would be a nifty device to sell via nefarious shops. Include some more passive tracking of WiFi and bob's your uncle. Maybe add mesh functionality via LoRaWAN and track the whole neighborhood.
moontear··on What your Bluetooth devices reveal
Introducing the „are they home“ device to assist burglars. Just slap that miniature device somewhere non-suspicious on the place of your potential marks and let it run for the battery life of 7 days. Afterwards you collect it and know movements patterns.

Features automatic notifications if no movement detected for more than two days.

moontear··on News publishers limit Internet Archive access due to AI scraping concerns
Archival is one side of the coin, but consumption as-in read-later is very important as well.

I am currently evaluating Linkwarden, Wallabag, Hoarder, Linkding and each of the services has pro and cons making it hard for me to choose one. Linkwarden is AWESOME in its way to store content in multiple formats, but the read-later wfs could be improved.

Without checking again: does Linkwarden sync reading location across devices and automatically scrolls to that location on the next device? Does it tell me how „long“ an article takes to read (solely based on the length of it)? Does Linkding support marking up text and persist (mark some text yellow and see those marks somewhere or even add comments or favorite specific parts of texts).

No need to answer any of the questions, I can research myself, just putting these out there for a read-later solution I would like. Add a link on my mobile device, Linkwarden could do its magic in the backend, and I check out the content later on desktop or even on my mobile device.

moontear··on xAI joins SpaceX
The experiment may have been successful, but if it was why don't we see underwater datacenters everywhere? It probably is a similar reason why we won't see space datacenters in the near future either.

Space has solar energy going for itself. With underwater you don't need to lug a 1420 ton rocket with a datacenter payload to space.

moontear··on Netbird – Open Source Zero Trust Networking
They are not only a wrapper for Wireguard even though people keep saying that.

Each of the tools gives different benefits and yes, you can roll all of that on your own, but let's take Tailscale as an example: You have custom ACLs to secure your network on a client/user/device basis with tagging of devices. You have your own tailscale SSH connection, the possibility to create private-public tunnels (just like Cloudflare tunnels). The hole punching using DERP servers and native IPv6/IPv4 interoperability means it really connects any device on any network type to all other devices. And of course the management pane and GUI you talked about.

This is not supposed to be a marketing ploy for Tailscale, but saying "they are just a wrapper for Wireguard" is plain wrong.

moontear··on Netbird – Open Source Zero Trust Networking
Why do you assume OP paid $5 a month? You get Tailscale for free in many use-cases. Your argument that self-hosting is more expensive is still valid, but I don't get the 5$.
moontear··on Netbird – Open Source Zero Trust Networking
It is not only a reverse proxy (which is actually just traefik), see this blog post https://pangolin.net/blog/posts/1-15-0-release

Pangolin is a hub-and-spoke style network. They actually have some comparisons between Netbird and Pangolin https://pangolin.net/blog/posts/pangolin-v-netbird and Pangolin and Tailscale https://pangolin.net/blog/posts/pangolin-v-tailscale

moontear··on 90M people. 118 hours of silence. One nation erased from the internet
So if this happens, what are your remedies if any? I guess a VPN wouldn’t help since there are no routes? Something like Starlink would work or would there be a problem with ground stations not having internet?
