I was surprised, then not really surprised, when I found out this week that Tailscale's native file sharing feature, Taildrive, is implemented as a WebDAV server in the network. https://tailscale.com/kb/1369/t

The fact that this is not a manual reimplementation, but a "transpilation" of the psql source from C to JavaScript, makes this super interesting to me. From the Postgres master branch (17devel), we take exec_command_d, exec_

I’ve been an admin at https://rainwave.cc for about 15 years now. One of the unique (I think) features we have allows listeners to influence what plays next on the radio. While the current song is playing, we run a three-candida
