I wish the author provided some latency numbers for this. One issue with tpms is that they are slow relative to performing the same operation on a modern CPU.

There are a bunch of these tools out there. I like curl-impersonate[0] as a quick way to make curl fingerprint as chrome or firefox. There's also CylceTLS[1] for a more programmatic approach. [0]: https://github.com/lwt

I agree, pocket-tts is quite good. It is also very easy to make new voices from small sample files with pocket-tts.

I got rid of my Alexa devices after they would not shut up. "Alexa what is the weather for today?" "The weather for today will be ... By the way, did you know that you can set alarms? Just say ..." I do not care about wh

I wrote a library[0] to let you concurrently update a sqlite db in s3 safely. It uses the little known sqlite sessions extension plus s3 compare-and-swap on a small metadata file to make this work reasonably efficiently and safely. I have b

I do not trust a free-tier VPS with my data.

I have also used lambda at scale in professional environments. I would not use a lambda for a webserver at scale, but having an s3 object trigger processing via a lambda function is a really nice flow.

Most of what I write in my journal I don't want to need to remember (that is why I am writing it down). I also don't know what will be important or not important later, so I want it all to be searchable.

This "it has to be handwritten" stuff is nonsense. Do that if you enjoy it, but also you should acknowledge the downsides to it. I started keeping a work journal a few years ago and it has changed how I work for the better. It is

I'm curious how asahi linux manages scheduling across e cores and p cores. Has anyone done experiments with this? Edit: It looks like there was some discussion about this on the Asahi blog 2 years ago[0]. [0]: https://asah

To follow up on this a bit, something that I really want is a way to build and launch apps from an llm really easily. I am imagining and environment with a database, object storage, and a publicly reachable webserver. I think this could be

Playing around with this for a small amount of time, it is very neat but also there are a bunch of things that are unclear / undocumented (I assume the documentation is coming so I'm not faulting them for it not being there yet).

What is the criteria for a sprite being "idle"? Is it no network activity or is it cpu based?

Those are not extensions. Not can you use them to talk to dbus.

This is great! I have been using Quickwit as a low cost search engine on Lambda. It works very well for my relatively small and infrequently updated dataset. Unfortunately Quickwit devs have decided to not support the Lambda deployment mode

The thing that killed perl was python. The reason that python won is because it was Google's blessed scripting language.

I had an M2 air running asahi that I loved and had similar worries. I ended up buying a maxed out refurbished M2 which I expect will last me a few more years.

Yes. It is a nice report that does not engage with 1password's security model at all. 1password specifically says that they do not think it is feasible to defend against locally executing malware.

I do hate the name ssh3. I was glad to see this at the top of the repo: > SSH3 is probably going to change its name. It is still the SSH Connection Protocol (RFC4254) running on top of HTTP/3 Extended connect, but the required chang

I assume you were using Authy desktop for TOTP? You don't need a smartphone for storing TOTP seeds or generating TOTP codes.

I found the "lets pretend like there is no input latency" thing to be more distracting than useful. As soon as something does not work as expected the illusion is broken. It made me more grumpy than not having it on in the first p

I'm comfortable with what I said. It is fascinating that some people are so afraid of negotiating that they make up excuses why they won't try, and then they try to convince everyone else that negotiating is too dangerous to attem

There is no incentive for companies to do that. Its a thing that could theoretically happen in rare cases but essentially never does in the industry. Read patio11's article on why. I think its telling that you have to reach for a >1

One of the key points to patio11's article is that there is only upside to negotiation with no downside. You are basically saying: negotiation doesn't work so why bother. Please stop. I once negotiated a large raise at a job where
