> same performances in the same form factor with the same OS (but more upgradability) for less This also remains true for Apple! I don't care about performance. At all. I write text in a terminal! I only care about the…
I want a simple UNIX workstation that "just works". Apple broke this promise to me with Tahoe, where horrific design decisions compounded the bugs on essential peripherals (Tahoe began spinning up and down my external…
Nostr is like a decentralized message queue/database with cryptographic identities. It has been funded by Jack Dorsey. Its most common usages are a decentralized Twitter clone, a tailscale clone without any registration…
People should consider decentralized git over Nostr, rather than switching to a replacement like Codeberg or Gitlab and waiting for the resulting enshittification after it attracts everyone else.…
no recaptcha / works on tor, unlike archive.is: https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.newyorker.com/news/le...
I don't know. I think people would notice if Google were being MITM'd on Tor.
https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.wired.com/story/when-... Works for me. I use only Tor so it is actually far more accessible. Archive.is uses Google's Recaptcha, which for some reason rejects valid solutions…
Presumably these are lightning invoices, which can resolve in milliseconds.
How long until agents begin routinely abusing local privilege escalation bugs to break out of containers? I bet if you tell them explicitly not to do so it increases the likelihood that they do.
Someone already mentioned the hoarderware issue, which is big for me, so I'll give my other concern. Years ago on Twitter I believe it was lcamtuf that asked "Would you pipe a text file into less?" and Dan Kaminsky…
If you want an example of an actually lightweight modern desktop editor to take inspiration from, try zed.dev Zed is written in Rust, insanely fast, consumes virtually no resources, has an Emacs input mode (which I use…
I think people who will leave as soon as they feel their work environment has become even remotely uncomfortable are likely sitting in a comfortable sinecure, and it isn't the role of the taxpayer to provide sinecures…
In my experience legitimately talented people are staying, and the guy whose impressive education credentials seem to train him mostly how to write very wordy excuses for his shortage of actual work product is going…
Open source software, by the admission of this article, is a critical input to AI agents useful for code generation. So the way I see it is that there is now an entire industry that is incentivized to financially…
I think relay discovery by clients has improved by leaps and bounds and will continue to do so. Previously you had to give some complicated "follow me at such and such relay" thing. These days you can just tell people…
I am unaware of an app that sees present day use for communicating short messages that uses BEP-44 or mainline DHT. Nostr works today for millions of people. These services have normal people using them, not Hacker News…
The defining feature of fascism is these kind of tyrannical public-private partnerships. It was the entire basis of Mussolini's fascism. They are the literal fascists. Redifining fascism as meaning "racism and…
You announce all the relays you publish to to the relays you are publishing to. If someone quotes your post in a post of their own, in many clients subsequent readers will be able to retrieve your content from the…
Tor and I2P are great technologies. ZLibrary, for example, runs an excellent Tor hidden service and it is usually the most reliable way to access news from the site. However, this did not remain true for a while when…
Many clients automatically seek, or prompt an action in 1 click to retrieve content from additional relays that a Nostr pubkey announces if said content is referenced but not available on already subscribed relays. As a…

Yes, it is so bad that I will no longer buy a game for its Linux release. Almost every single Linux game I have outside of actual Valve titles no longer works. I don't want to hear that they have a Linux release. I want…
I didn't misrepresent the situation it all. It is exactly as I described. 11 armed people is a functional equivalent of a SWAT team. My statement was hyperbolic. If you serve someone a court summons for a bullshit…
