> Back to Zig, Zig has a really polarizing specific stance on what it does from technology, to community management and funding to PR, blog posts and how they talk. I don’t agree with all of it but I so respect that they are unapologetically weird. So I continue to support them financially and use their technology because I support people trying to be their own person.

I read the full articles and always like what Mitchell trying to express, the above is an example

Bpi does a nice job on open source hardware and openwrt integration, but only 2 ports in this model is really good?

Just update my bpi-r3 purchased years ago from 24.x to 25.12, it need a bit of extra work because the sfp interface is renamed(though I never used that), and i finally just do plain sysupgrade only and add some required packages because i run a customized fd.io vpp build on the bpi-r3, connected via vhost-net backed tuntap, it works well, I never regret bought this machine, with current agent stuffs, i think bpi r3 model may be more fun to play with

This remind me of collegue life while enjoying on some Linux forums, good old days

I always feel lost in social media those days, especially when X got bought by Elon Musk and premium users start to generate CONTENT(*) to get traffic and revenue

Forums is just for some hobbist and it have didived content by channels(I almost forget what's the name) and have some highlight posts upvoted by users, that's really good stuffs

How we get to this state I do not know, but a clear signal is that my classmate those days works on a startup that build app for forums by using some forum's API or customized solution, but seems mobile App goes fast and they lost the track, so perhaps forum get lost with emerge of Apps and user just stick to Apps and social media is also sort of Apps people get sticked(Addicted) to

This is cool and impressive

Recently I also started to port fd.io vpp to rust for my app with help of codex

A clear interface and well defined test case is must to make the rewrite successful

Will people really need a bunch of different agents? Even using two codex session for different project make me feel a bit overwhelmed, or may be i just old

As previously C system programmer, I barely use IDE, cli agent for coding and desktop codex for various non coding tasks. Nowadays settled to codex/gpt5.5 and it does really good job

Nice write up about Emacs, ruler-mode is a thing I never used before.

Recently I finally start to C-X M-x to do text scaling, the typing is hard even as near 2 decades user of Emacs.

I do not have the luck to get access to computer in my childhood. But the articles still make me feel nostalgia, especially the sound. With limited resource, people at that times just create some good stuffs.

Oh no, I am just adding codex integration to my app with in-app tailscale networking, communicating with codex app server via websocket over tailscale

But I will still consider to release it anyways

250k for openwrt based risc v router? Maybe need do more work such as using vyos + fdio/vpp

This is cool, let aside the token usage, perhaps it can help analyze tcp throughput by redirect wire shark/to dump result

Finally a tailscale rust port is coming, i think it's will make build app with builtin tailscale connectivity more easily compared to libtailscale

As a developer who have been built some tailscale-based clients, I think this maybe acceptable because they running a business with money from the VCs.

And I am also very grateful that tailscale implement some workaround for systems such as apple-based OS with core APIs built into the open source code, thus if you really need you can just look the open source code and doing accordingly, though it really need some research work.

For the long term if they really do not want to open source the core client code (which I do not believe at the moment), I think support a fully open source coordinator and open source client based on the fork will still be doable.

Have built a cross alternative tailscale gui client based on tauri, the rust and ffi to cgo tailscale feel a little tough, I was wondering it will save a lot time to me if the tauri had been written in go.

Seems Miguel’s velox point a new idea, leveraging the wry and use ffi to go, and rewrite some tooling.

I hope I will have the spare time and energy to give a try…

just did some spec reading, it's quite clear and nit.

I can understand that put UDP payload into a single HTTP stream, at least when QUIC transport is in use, there is no UDP in TCP case.

The Source Address/Port in the UDP payload message serve as key to handle to the tunnel client if I understand correctly?

It’s great for you to open source the protocol and implementation, it written in rust which I will definitely consider to learn it add add to my vpn client in the future

After reading the article, I am wondering is that is there no test case to coverage the behavior that modify the CNAME order in the response? I think it should be simple to run a fleet of various OS/DNS client combinations to test the behavior.

And I also being shocked that Cisco Switch goes to reboot loop with this DNS order issue.

I like this idea but really do not want to share my personal data to cloud based LLM vendors.

I have a folder which is controlled by Git, the folder contains various markdown files as my personal knowledge base and work planning files (It's a long story that I have gradually migrate from EverNote->OneNote->Obsidian->plain markdown files + Git), last time I tried to wire a Local LLM API(using LMStudio) to claude code/open code, and use the agent to analyze some documents, but the result is not quite good, either can't find the files or answer quality is bad.

This is the reason why I am creating a Debian VM on my macOS to let Claude code in yolo mode to do some experiment:)

Tailscale is quite handy in remote agent coding, Sometimes I use tailscale and RustDesk on my phone to check Claude code, I also built an app called NovaAccess which bake tailscale into the app which does not confict of VPN I used.
