I had a very similar single experience with Om: I was introduced completely randomly while he was at True Ventures; he couldn't have been nicer, more curious, or more genuine despite me almost certainly reading like a total waste of ti

Layoff announcements are this kinda tricky class of corporate comms where you need to speak to at least 3 different constituents, with 3 different messages, which are often in conflict. It's something like: (A) To the public (e.g. pros

Sure: I think you're essentially missing a whole set of concerns - ones that are not purely technical - behind why this method is popular; and so your arguments wouldn't convince someone actually responsible for one of these scrip

Bad faith, or perhaps just ignorance. It reminds me of purist junior engineers - and I have been one - refusing to understand or tradeoff in the world beyond their own. Rather than argue with those of us who are pointing out messy realities

The ideas aren't mutually exclusive, and I've never seen an open source project support "curl | sh" without also supporting those methods. Indeed, plenty of these scripts often act as a "what OS and packager do we h

I am genuinely curious what it tells you, as "curl https//.. | sh" has long been an enormously popular approach to distribution in the open source world. Homebrew, to name just one example, advertises a similar method. (

I really wanted to dislike the anonymous operator for the careless project (and the hilarious pomposity of the IRC subagent it spawned). Then I imagined the real-but-unknowable chance it was all set up by some kid just getting into computer

I've been enjoying Moat [1]. Proxies credentials, networking, etc; uses MacOS containers if available; and setup worked without much fuss. I haven't tried others, though. [1] https://majorcontext.com/moat/

Could a supply chain attacker simulate an advisory-remediating release somehow, i.e., abuse this feature to bypass cooldowns?

Yes, seeing periodic 5xx errors (though eventually succeeds). Interestingly `bun upgrade` catches "GitHubIsDown" as a specific case: $ bun upgrade Bun v1.2.20 is out! You're on v1.2.18 Downloading [38003/21

Right, but, they never owned it, and would never attempt to assert that. So in hindsight (and similar to GP) compliance was a worse and more frustrating option than simply never mentioning things.

Ugh, you gave me bad flashbacks of the same committee. I tried to re-license a previously-released project (like from GPL to MIT or similar) and they wouldn't budge. I had written all the code. In the end, I decided that them suing (or

A very well-written and persuasive critique, thank you for it. (And god I hope you’re not a state-of-the-art summarization LLM.)

I've been interested in doing this as a side project too, ever since "unwiring" my jeep in a similar fashion (rip out modem). My quick-and-dirty idea was to stand up a Discourse forum with categories for each make, threads fo

I refer back to your exact blog post every 6 months or so to see how (or if) its various issues have been smoothed out, and whether I should recommend it in a new build. Thanks much for keeping your post up-to-date!

Lovely read, and great to see a happy ending - I remember your previous blogs here. As a sometime-bootstrapper and having failed at a previous hardware startup, I can relate to many of the emotions you narrated through. It may be too early,

I just made up `blogger.com` as an example. I probably could have picked a better one. `blogspot.com` & its many TLD variations are on the list. It looks like the repo where the list is maintained [1] is pretty active. YMMV, I'm no

A big problem that came up at the domain level was what I'd call a _trustworthy domain with untrustworthy subdomains_, specifically where those subdomains represent user-generated content. The Public Suffix List (PSL)

It sounds like it indeed was a GoPro, neat! Were you not surprised to get video back, then? What steps were taken? I don't know much about Space Stuff but seems like even with shielding, you would expect off-the-shelf consumer hardware

I thought this was a fantastic accomplishment of both 3d modeling & “explainer” production. The whole channel is great. Even something I thought I knew all about, “How a Jet Airliner Works” [1], was fun & revealing. [1] https:&#x2F
