Last time I checked, Posthog self hosted was basically unusable. They have a hobby deployment script which just pulls the latest build from master which varies from “somewhat works” to “completely broken”
Does anyone know of any good firewalls for macOS? The built in firewall is practically unusable, and if client isolation can be bypassed, the local firewall is more important than ever.
I often have a dev server running bound to 0.0.0.0 as it makes debugging easy at home on the LAN, but then if I connect to a public WiFi I want to know that I am secure and the ports are closed. "Block all incoming connections" on macOS has failed me before when I've tested it.
I have just today discovered zmx [1] which is like tmux but I always hated the tmux terminal emulation and how it hijacks scrolling, especially on Termius on my phone. It does session persistence but I think without the terminal emulator side of things, so scrolling works normally.
Been testing it today with Claude Code and it seems to work quite well switching between my laptop and phone.
I was travelling a lot a couple of days ago across the countryside just outside of Krakow, and people are definitely burning plastics and trash, you can smell it even inside your car in the early hours of the morning.
It's coming from the surrounding areas, not the city itself.

Definitely don't recommend going down this path if you're not already familiar with Nix, but if you are, a strategy that I find works really well is to package your software with Nix, then you can run it easily via systemd but also create super lightweight containers using nix-snapshotter[0] so you don't have to "build" container images if you still want the flexibility of containers. You can then run the containers on Docker or Kubernetes without having to build heavy images.
Not gonna lie Terranix has been working great for us, all our configuration is in Nix files anyway so it's so easy to just pass stuff in rather than using Tf variables etc
Looking forward to the post mortem on this one. We weren't affected (just using the CDN), and people are saying they weren't affected who are using Cloudflare Workers (a previous culprit which we've since moved off), so I wonder what service / API was actually affected that brought down multiple websites with a 500 but not all of them.
Wise was just down which is a pretty big one.
Also odd how some websites were down this time that previously weren't down with the global outage in November
I just considered moving from Namecheap to Porkbun as Namecheap is down, but Porkbun use Cloudflare for their CAPTCHA meaning I'm unable to signup and I assume log in as well, so also no good.
Things I’m really looking forward to seeing from Tailscale / projects I’d like to tinker with:
- Better iOS battery life, there have been many improvements but it’s still too much to leave running 24/7, I understand they’re making improvements here
- Their in built SSH server which seems to be in development
- Using Tailscale ACLs to control access to Kubernetes ingress resources, they recently released an nginx auth plugin so I imagine this is now possible if you attach a Tailscale sidecar to the nginx ingress controller
- Arbitrary ACLs which also seem to be in progress, it would be awesome to define in ACLs who has access to different parts of e.g a backoffice application
- Official support for DNS extra records, already using this with the Headscale self hosted control plane for personal projects but it would be great to use it on Tailscale too
- Kernel Wireguard for the data plane, I think this is on the roadmap?
Overall a fantastic piece of software which I use for both personal and professional projects.
