It boggles the mind what AI is doing to some people’s brains. A few months ago we released various vibe-coded SDKs in few languages and a CLI for a rest API we had. Then an immediate ask after that was a dashboard that…

Normally I either encrypt a non-boot drive (if the VPS provider offers such a thing) or use gocryptfs. It’s still a pain though when reboots happen, unless you also put your key there. Application layer encryption makes…
E2EE means the keys are on your own computer (or device or brain etc). The “someone else’s” computer is just hosting encrypted blobs.
It would make hosting a "Family and/or friends" instance possible. I do go back and forth on the accessibility tradeoffs of E2EE for average people though. In this scenario, lose or forget your key/password and you lose…

It's only confusing because of the terms the industry uses to describe it. To achieve the task, i.e: a GitHub being able to update an AWS Lambda without storing a secret/key/certificate you minimally need: 1. A way for…
Well not Go's package manager, right? Go modules came out 2019, Swift 2015? I wasn't arguing against Swift needing a default package manager, I agree with that. Just the examples you picked to compare with are odd in…
I find your choice of examples (dotnet and go) baffling to me. Both enjoyed a very long life (8-10 years) past “1.0” before getting a standard package manager. The other examples, Java, python and JS are significantly…
Apple has something with Swift similar to what Google has with Go. The language has a lot of desirable features for server development very much like Go and Rust. Especially when compared to Java and C#. It makes sense…

I agree that virtualization has seen great advances. Kata containers on k8s are almost (not quite 100%) drop in replacement. Regardless those last 10% remain a problem. I run a personal server for few open source…
Its the now-classic "Sorry I drowned little Timothy. Here is a breakdown of what happened" followed by "Let me try to respawn little Timothy on a new map"
Exactly. We have about 6 new repos for new green-field projects each with 700+ auto-generated issues so far. No one is looking at them, but we do have them tracked so "Mission Accomplished" GWB-style.

That’s a really over simplification of the issue. Plenty of Netflix edge CDNs are (and always were) ISP hosted. It’s a win-win for both and a complete no-brainer. The ISP v. Netflix argument was always about contract…
