Some further thoughts and a more positive spin based on watching the (breathtakingly fast) what's new video... Several of the features regarding merging, synchronisation, metadata handling are available now (not in the 'DOpus 12 l

Opus12 is undeniably useful. Some additional features would be useful. e.g. those of attribute changer https://www.petges.lu/ modifies metadata between source and destination without changing the underlying identical files.

Wow. A fantastic set of descriptions, service and detection tooling from portswigger and colleagues. The fact that http/1 downgrading is so prevalent and unlikely to change in the short term is the point.

An extension of the zig ideas is making self contained portable and very small binaries that run everywhere from bare metal to any OS using a cross platform libc and configuring GCC or clang appropriately. Check out cosmopolitan at https:&

As noted below, my initial wording was unhelpful and misplaced. The infrastructure costs are covered by sponsors. The 'They should monetise' was a 'they' that I now understand are external organisations rather than nixos

Issue 34 is now closed. My thanks to the patience of people there who have clarified and improved the visibility of licensing.

I'm really impressed with it and am ONLY seeking clarity. I'll be extremely happy if I can use it standalone. Copyright, licensing are all I'm looking at. e.g. Something like AGPL is considered copyleft and not compatible wit

It looks impressive but it isn't clear how much you have to pay for services from them. It isn't free and you aren't in control. Your snapshots and abilities to rollback etc are likely to be dependent on their storage servers

Update: The original post is from January 2019. Ashley Broadley's github page at https://github.com/ls12styler sadly doesn't contain a repo with his rust dev work to date (I will ask him as it has some really good

To be truly portable it is worth considering whether your newly created Dev environment can work without the internet or in an air-gapped environment. Vscode can be problematic in that respect. Typically with dependencies used by an extensi

Wasn't a criticism, just an observation from a 'user' when a key bit of infrastructure is directed by a single or small team. You are opening up a technology that you are crafting for your own purposes in the best spirit of s

Cap'n'proto has a number of drawbacks both from the 'one man band' pov. (Witness the two year lull when Kenton went sandstorming), an awkward API and limited language support. Personally I don't think there is a per

There is an alternate view of what microservices should be. Check out the sample chapter for Monolith to microservice by Sam Newman. As described in this article, microservices seem like just a way to horizontally scale development and dep

I still don't understand why people want their code dependent on the web. I want to share my one true dev environment, but I want to be able to do this on my private premises setup without internet access. I don't trust the intern

Once all tesla vehicles use starlink for sending back data to Tesla HQ I'm not sure much will be left for 'rural' broadband. Nice to pick up the grants though.

Everyone knows that there is only one way to mount your toilet roll and that is so the paper flips over the top and to the front :) The author was hedging their bets and providing comfort to those poor misguided heathens who disagree.

Thanks for the material. The icons in particular look useful. I'm always torn whether to offer a (very personal) critique, but the man/woman characters aren't to my taste but I'm sure others will love them.

Such a shame these initiatives don't build on existing standards working groups but go away and reinvent a wheel instead. Take a look for instance at ETSI TC Cyber, or ETSI NFV Sec. Even more available in specific domains, such as inte

PlantUML has morphed into a two part tool. Its original purpose was to visualise various forms of UML diagrams. More recently it has utilised its underlying graphviz to create a more general 'graphviz on steroids' diagramming tool

My experience with capn proto was a mixed bag. Quite apart from its neglect for years as Kenton was working on sandstorm.io, I found the low level access interfaces to extract best performance to be both fiddly and often rely on an intimate

Geany was a useful tool a while back, but no longer is packaged for centos and lost its key selling point for me which was a decent GDB plugin debugger at a time where there weren't too many other UIs for GDB. I'm not so bothered

Lots of work has already been carried out. I think you misunderstand the concept of directional beamforming. The antennas in question in a phased array are 'elements' that cooperate to steer a more focussed beam in a given directi

Agreed. The point is that as more services migrate to higher bands or more spectrum is made available (TV spectrum partially reallocated, 3G is sunset), there is more capacity available for rural locations that need that lower band. Lots of
