Why on earth is so much more expensive than an arbitrary pair of devices that could max out a cable?

To be concrete and hopefully more constructive with my criticism, he's prone to saying things like "Fil-C is safer than Rust": https://x.com/filpizlo/status/2053351119095791995 And "Rust let’s

He's been especially arrogant and dismissive on X. I'm very glad Fil-C exists, but his behavior makes me doubt the whole project.

I switched my main home computer to the Framework 13 (albeit on Windows) in 2021, after multiple weeks with my MBP sent away for AppleCare. I had some minor electrical issues with the original 11th gen Intel motherboard, but the 13th gen I

I was lucky enough to be at the event and I can say the 13 Pro feels great in the hand. Overall chassis stiffness, typing (I guess due to the increased chassis stiffness), and the new touchpad all feel premium. Between that and the battery

I had a similar experience with FreeNAS (now called TrueNAS): I'm sure it's great for some people, but I ended up fighting the abstraction layer way more than I benefited from it. I personally found it easier to just run Samba on

I've been running OpenBSD as a router for almost 20 years I think? These days, the only ongoing maintenance it requires of me is running `syspatch` and `pkg_add -u` periodically to keep things up-to-date, and then `sysupgrade` when a n

I didn't realize, until recognizing Bradbury in that image yesterday, that HTTP status 451 is an explicit reference to "Fahrenheit 451", but apparently it is: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7725 In th

Not a perfect defense, but sufficient to make your key much harder to exploit: Use a Yubikey (or similar) resident SSH key, with the Yubikey configured to require a touch for each authentication request.

Some distros have better WSL support than others—some will only work with systemd disabled, others have issues with X11. Ubuntu is well supported of course, but on the RHEL-ish side I've found that AlmaLinux 10 works especially well.

Really great book. Among other things, I think it's the best explanation of ZFS I've seen in print.

These days I use it as a home file server because for my needs, FreeBSD the best tool for that job. But back in the early 2000s I got access to a free Unix shell account that included Apache hosting and Perl, and if I'm not misremember

Sure, but ZFS is much better integrated into FreeBSD. It supports ZFS on root with boot environments out of the box. And when running a Samba server, it's helpful that FreeBSD supports NFSv4 ACLs when sitting between ZFS and SMB client

The recent addition of dhcp6leased is a great example: Built into the base system, simpler to configure than either dhcp6c or dhcpcd, and presumably also more secure than either.

Yeah it's the most succinct explanation I've seen of weird machines and memory tagging. Definitely bookmarking this one. I wonder if video of the talk that presumably presented this is available.

I use a screen protector to prevent wear to the oleophobic coating, which had noticeably degraded on my previous iPhone. I know you can also buy treatments to replace the coating on the screen itself, but I don't know how good they ar

I don't know if this is somehow particular to my setup, but on both macOS and Linux I find that simply running full `compinit` fails to update mtime on `~/.zcompdump` when nothing's changed. That causes this optimization to f

It's a great, easily-approachable framework too. I'd just recently picked it up for a pet project, and taking advantage today's powerful system webviews as UI frameworks seems like the obvious choice. Also check out Wails if

This is my main reason. Additionally, yes, some of the Excel features that would attract me to it over LibreOffice Calc—such as the aforementioned lambdas—aren't available in older, non-365 versions of Office.
