If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the , what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

schmichael,

@molly0xfff I have been too online since I was a teenager in the 90s. Made Geocities pages, lived on IRC and ICQ, used newsgroups, etc.

I don’t really miss it. It’s always been balkanized (various chats, various phpbbs, slashdot, digg, something awful). The same arguments around moderation.

The tech was just awful. Browsers had splash screens they loaded so slowly. JPEGs were progressively loaded. Flash and Java abounded. Security was nonexistent.

But no outbrain. I do hate outbrain.

New Blog: Software Needs To Be More Expensive https://blog.glyph.im/2024/03/software-needs-to-be-more-expensive.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

schmichael,

@geofft @glyph Yes! I have regularly spent hundreds of company dollars a day on cloud, sometimes leaving it running a week too long before a timeout is hit, without anyone batting an eye.

Any money I want to spend on other software takes pre authorization and expense reports. Barely anyone bothers.

Software needs an enterprise sales channel to get enterprise sales dollars. Companies don’t pay for things they can get just as easily for free. If they did: their investors would revolt.

schmichael,

@glyph @geofft changing those policies and channels requires convincing finance not engineering

schmichael,

@glyph @geofft but tipping is part of a preexisting policy and transaction.

Random OSS Library fits into no preexisting transaction, business relationship, or policy. How do you track it? How does accounting treat it for tax purposes? Is there just some random dev receiving the money or a company? What liability is implied by the micro transaction?

Paying money for things with company money is really hard if it doesn’t fit neatly into preexisting policies and channels.

schmichael,

@glyph @geofft ha no need to apologize I appreciate the passion. I’d be up for trying for this at work, but I’d love to know any specific path that works:

Credit cards for every engineer?! Monthly expense reports with annotations for tax deductible orgs? Business related only and no giving to coworkers?

If this approach works a web page or pdf or whatever that folks can just shop around at work would make this turnkey to implement.

Trying to shop for camping gear without using Reddit is awful. Giving up Twitter was easy, but giving up Reddit is proving much harder. So much durable comprehensive knowledge is trapped on Reddit.

So @potus is now active, and due to federation is available here too. Unless your instance admins decided to defederate Threads. Because of reasons.

schmichael,

@jef @whitehouse I really miss NWS accounts, but as far as I know they’re not on Threads yet. There are Twitter scrapers, but they’re hampered by Twitter’s anti-scraping efforts. Any clue if there’s a fediverse option now or in the works for NWS?

schmichael,

@bitprophet @jacob yeah don't get me wrong: nix seems to solve a lot of real, hard problems for a lot of developers, and i love that. it has a lot of interesting ideas that i think the broader industry can learn from.

...but making it the default way to install your app is a good way to get me to walk away. even as the official way to work on an oss project just seems so painfully overcomplicated it reminds me of autotools

If you're a user, or even just interested, and you're nervous about how today's BUSL announcement impacts your use case: please feel free to reach out to me directly: DMs here, HashiCorp Discord, or my nick at hashicorp email.

I can't promise anything, but I'd love to make sure your concerns are at least heard and any questions you have answered.

Oh hey Nomad has a Discord channel! Or rather all of does!

It's "unofficial" unlike Discuss and Github Issues, but come say hi if you're a Nomad user or just interested! 👋

With phenylepherine and pseudoephedrine back in the news let me suggest the “secret” multiple doctors have given me over years of colds and allergies:

Nasal Sprays 💨

Put the medicine where the problem is!

Afrin (oxymetazoline) for congestion works better for me than pseudoephedrine with zero side effects. I hate how I feel on pseudoephedrine.

schmichael,

@bitprophet whole family is sick so that's fun. why is something happening at work?

Nomad 1.6 Beta is out today! 🎉

https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/nomad-1-6-adds-node-pools-ux-updates-and-more

I just have to say:

Node Pools

Node Pools

For everyone who has ever wanted "namespaces for nodes" please try Node Pools!

Nomad has a security release today for one of our worst vulnerabilities. 😔

It's a path traversal that allows reading/writing the host filesystem from inside a container. Classic symlink TOCTOU path traversal.

The only silvering lining is that it does require coordination/knowledge-sharing between the Nomad user and the container to pull off. The code has to know what files are being templated by Nomad and leverage them for path traversal via symlink.

The Lifestages of a Millennial

Childhood: pirated video games
Teenager: pirated music
Young adult: pirated movies
Adult: pirating paywalled news

All of this is mere training for US Millennials for when as geriatrics we have to figure out how to pirate healthcare.

I have been in the JOSE/JWT/OIDC weeds for months now, so it's extremely gratifying to see workload identity getting attention! 😍

Trying to find a new desktop background from a recent hike, and I don't think I could capture anything in landscape mode.
