  Some of us are pretty ok.

  You simply can’t get around LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, Medium, Substack and so on if you want to stay connected.

  “Can’t”. 🤦‍♂️

  “A tech guy” is an impressive understatement and I bet that’s his name badge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today in “Google Broke Email”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re welcome, I guess.

  FreeBSD jails are one of the most useful tools for this purpose.

  Once again, BSD proves to be a superior solution.

  Imagine if file weight corresponded to actual file size.

  On spinning hard disks, it does.

  Also true. Source: I am a programmer too.

  I don’t know this guy, but despite his readily apparent technical knowledge, the dude really seems like he isn’t a good admin.

  FWIW, just to avoid Dunning-Kruger and because I think you are mistaken here: jwz

  I can only assume that he has rather hand-crafted scripted workflows though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today in “Google Broke Email”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think his reasoning about why not is rather understandable.

  Also, IRCv3 exists.

  IRC is too difficult for normal people to figure out.

  “Connect to any server you have ever heard of. Enjoy.”

  Ah, quality IRC replacements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NPM Package With 56K Downloads Caught Stealing WhatsApp Messages⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a problem for all languages

  More or less. Some repositories, like CPAN and Quicklisp, are curated with more caution than others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NPM Package With 56K Downloads Caught Stealing WhatsApp Messages⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t going to get any better unless we revert to OS based dependencies which noone wants to do because developers want the latest and greatest model.

  A few operating systems (e.g. OpenBSD) do actually (try to) enforce using pkg for Perl dependencies, due to Perl being “system Perl” instead of “packaged Perl”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla’s Betrayal of Open Source: Google’s Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support Mozilla⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here you go. Like Linux, where “everything but drivers” is open source, everything but the UI is open source.
