From my experience Claude Code is not that bad with Common Lisp and can do REPL-style development. I've been using this MCP server (an older version with some tweaks): https://github.com/cl-ai-project/cl-mcp (even

Helm is an abomination, as the whole idea of using a text template engine to generate YAML is. And this vulnerability adds insult to injury ;) Sorry, just can't really recover from trauma of counting spaces and messing up newlines, etc

I used OpenMPTCPRouter to aggregate 3 LTE connections (via routers connected to directional antenna, with SIM cards from different operators) when I was living in a house in the woods before the war has started I had to leave Russia. Worked

Common Lisp has CLOS (Common Lisp Object System), which is quite sophisticated object system with metaobject protocol and multiple dispatch, as a part of its spec. Not that it's smth people need to invent on their own each time

Others mention autonomous mode thing being overhyped somewhat. But besides, that starts to remind me of home automation in Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains"... There was also a Soviet animation film based on that sh

Yep. Many complain that with Lisp, you need to count parentheses (spoiler: you don't need to). And then proceed to count spaces for indent/nindent in the charts... That's somehow ok with almost everyone

I grew up in Russia, and ES-1841 was my first computer, too. Also with a printer, yet no HD. That was 1990 and I was 10 y.o... Once printed a caricature of one of school bullies using (a Soviet clone of) Turbo Pascal and its turtle graphics

I find this syntax argument a bit strange nowadays. There's this extremely popular Kubernetes tool called Helm, which uses go-templated YAML to generate Kubernetes resources. The template syntax is nothing short of horrible. An endless

This company literally makes 1984 possible in Russia, being of tremendous help to the Putin's effort to stifle any internal dissent [1]. Yet the company itself is Cyprus-based [2] and also their employees advertise their involvement wi

Posted a detailed explanation slightly above... Glorytun will not work to well with TCP b/c it doesn't provide separate congestion control for each path like MPTCP does.

OpenMPTCPRouter uses shadowsocks [1] and its ss-redir as a kind of a transparent TCP proxy. The advantage of shadowsocks is that it creates separate outgoing TCP connection for each one it proxies, resulting in substantially better performa

Sorry for incorrect wording. I don't need multipath to be present in the same spec as the QUIC core. What I meant is when I will be able to have slightly less then 150Mbps over QUIC for e.g. a single file if I have 3x50Mbps connections

I use OpenMPTCPRouter [1]. It's a bit of kitchen sink so I'm thinking of replacing it with something simpler, but the basic idea is that you have a TCP->MPTCP converter running on your router and MPTCP->TCP converter running

Wake me up when multipath support is included... Till then I prefer TCP b/c I can use MPTCP to utilize all of my rural LTE bandwidth for each single flow (e.g. downloading a file)

There are several possibilities of dealing with UDP traffic in OMR. 1) Multipath VPN (glorytun). Thing is that UDP spread over multiple paths will not as well as MPTCP. MPTCP creates multiple subflows, one for each available path. Each subf

I have recently improved my rural multi-LTE setup by means of OpenMPTCPRouter [1]. MPTCP does a really great job at aggregating multiple paths for better throughput and reliability. Problem is, QUIC can’t do this, and while multipath QUIC e

Hmm, cool project. Making it work over MPTCP [1] could also make it a kind of replacement for shadowsocks [2] for the purpose of converting plain TCP to Multipath TCP, as it is used in OpenMPTCPRouter [3]. Shadowsocks is used for MPTCP prox

Docker is not using chroot and iptables aren’t the most important part of “creating the perception”. The primary tools are Linux namespaces and cgroups. For many purposes, these abstractions aren’t too leaky (and sometimes quite useful with
