iPad Pro with M4 looks fantastic. Too bad that shitty APIs and App Store rules limit all the potential this beast of a tablet has.

Still no virtualization, proper background tasks (keep an SSH session running…), App Store rules that simply don’t allow the most interesting kind of apps.

Blah.

Welp, kid managed to get a drone stuck about 50ft up in a tree. Thus, further reconfirming my earlier claim (prior to him wasting his money on it) that drones are, in fact, the worst toy in the whole toy universe.

Starting to wonder if AI is like spreadsheets: for every programmer pointing out flaws and deficiencies, a double dozen people are using 'em to do something they find useful. 1/4

Added: please see https://mastodon.social/@gvwilson/112265751571981599 for clarification.

@gvwilson It is tricky. You mentioned spreadsheets but I think a better comparison would be Blockchain. Similar amount of hype and crazy ideas and grifters. But then also some legit interesting applications that benefit mankind. I think? 🤔

Whatever goober at Adobe decided to make this annoying AI spam popup in Photoshop every 5 minutes should be fired. Sure you can close it, but it comes right back 5 minutes later. 🤬

No longer , but @st3fan's Sad Mac is the best Mac screensaver I've seen since the After Dark days.

(Should be pretty obvious why I like it so much.)

It's already begun---the relentless onslaught of "do I have to go school during the eclipse?" questions. The answer being consistently "yes." Look kid, don't make me give you a lecture on idempotence...

@dabeaz “Due to the risks associated with viewing a solar eclipse, school boards across the region have already announced moving their PA Day from May to April 8th to ensure that students will not be outdoors during this time which would be their regular dismissal time.”

Can anyone recommend a Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet adapter for a MacBook Pro? Ideally one that also works in Linux.

OK lazyweb, I've read a lot of wireguard docs but their explanations are all lacking. Anyone got pointers for these?

  1. my ISP doesn't support IPv6. I'm renting a VPS with v4/v6 addresses. I'd like to run wireguard and route all IPv6 traffic from my LAN out thru the VPS.

  2. I'd also like to connect from WG on my laptop to my VPS and get onto my home LAN. What happens if I'm on a hotel wifi whose subnet (192.168.1.x) is the same as my home LAN?

@hyc i like the ubuntu documentation .. which i applied on debian server and a mac client. for my use case i followed their “inside device” guide which makes your client appear as a node on your local network via proxy arp. https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/inside-device

Shoutout to the legend who thought “food should taste more like soap” and then just went for it.

@hynek @tomster “for those cilantro-haters for whom the plant tastes like soap, the issue is genetic. These people have a variation in a group of olfactory-receptor genes that allows them to strongly perceive the soapy-flavored aldehydes in cilantro leaves.”

@christianselig this randomly started for me last week. “Siri Lights” would simply toggle but now it asks what to actually do. Annoying.

Quick FOSS legal literacy quiz

Imagine the following situation: your project is MIT licensed. Someone takes the whole project and white-labels it (changes the name), then sells it commercially without providing the source code or sharing any of the sales revenue with you. They include "Copyright <your name>" and a copy of the MIT license in the "about" page of the software.

Is this allowed?

@drewdevault @jrconlin “what do you mean with ‘compliant’? I just want to build something. what is this 'compliant' thing.”

I have followed the Palestinian struggle since about 2000 and read every book I could on the subject.

But TikTok has really made this knowledge accessible to the public. The TikTokers know how to explain in small bursts like nothing I have seen before.

Accurate and concise.

@Migueldeicaza is this why they want tik tok banned in the us?

@hynek this is what all my changes to GitHub actions look like. In the end I do squash them all into one and force push the change so it looks like I’m brilliant at this on first try 😂
