Would be great to know if I can uninstall docker on Mac and just install https://github.com/containers/podman/releases and be good to go with my docker compose files ?!

I have the feeling the docker company is communicating a lot with Apple because virtualisation got better and better over the years. I wonder if podman would be a speed downgrade here?

that parameter cannot be set by a package, you only can set it

As if supply chain attacks could have been prevented by 2fa or passkeys always.

You want delays by x days because supply chain attacks get caught very often within 1-2 days. And if you really really want to make an exception for a zero day then that's no problem and you can still quick patch by exclusion of that rule. They don't contradict in a unsolvable problem. You want both, you get both.

There was once a 2.5" SSD Mushkin Source 16TB SATA drive. At its cheapest it was ~1700 USD (or 1500 EUR). That was mid 2023 (like 3 years ago!).

Nowadays it feels like that this time and price region is like decades away in the future. I was hoping I can store more data in future on modern tech like SSDs and not less.

Meanwhile I'm still dreaming about any consumer and affordable 32TB or even 16TB portable SSD. Innovation and market for consumers are going backwards.

Funny thing is that one of the best you can get is the Crucial (Micron) 8TB one but even that one gets more expensive. I have the feeling it will be gone completely soon.

That's a trend which is more and more common nowadays.

I wish the industry would adopt more zero knowledge methods in this regards. They are existing and mathematically proven but it seems there is no real adoption.

- OpenAI wants my passport when topping up 100 USD

- Bolt wanted recently my passport number to use their service

- Anthropic seems wants to have passports for new users too

- Soon age restriction in OS or on websites

I wished there would be a law (in Europe and/or US) to minify or forbid this kind of identity verification.

I want to support the companies to not allow misuse of their platforms, at the same time my full passport photo is not their concern, especially in B2B business in my opinion.

I saw some non-technical people automating or creating small great tools with it which they need for their profession. These people are not programmers.

I think everybody who has basic understanding of programming and deployment better should stick to some AI coding agent like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode etc etc.

I don't think I'm missing out by not using OpenClaw & Co.

And in modern times: everybody, including big companies trust the AI APIs from

Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic etc. etc.

sure... the contracts saying often there is no saving or learning from the AI API usage. But it's at the end like a "trust me bro" promise.

There is a saying on the internet:

The generation that refused cookies is now giving AI permission to read their emails, scan their local files, and manage their bank accounts.

It seems many have given up...

Settled with SeaweedFS for replacing minio and getting a good chunk of S3 feature parity. I wonder about the problems OP is posting about. Never seen that behaviour but usually only having a bunch of smaller files.

but even that one looks kinda outdated when looking at latest M5 Max laptops.

The better distros have it (ZRAM) enabled by default for desktops (I think PopOS and Fedora). In my personal experience every desktop Linux should use memory compression (except you have an absurd amount of RAM) because it helps so much, especially with everything related to browser and/or electron usage!

Windows and macOS have it enabled by default for many years (even if it works a little different there).

reminds me: Ever used Gemini API on Google Vertex Cloud API? The usage will show up like 24-48 hours later in the dashboard. So when you use Gemini's API on their Cloud me as Workspace admin cannot even track my own usage in near realtime there. Which makes me think that even Google cannot track it in realtime.

that's actually a good idea. Thanks, was not thinking about such a workaround!

On Android app it needs Claude GitHub connection with scope to act on my behalf! Otherwise it won't work in the app. Really do NOT like that!

Why does the remote control needs that? For what?

I rather use the common developer tools like termux or mosh etc. on a phone if I need that functionality.

How about giving the user a big warning to not do that and then block the account if the user continues. This total blocks are crazy. Especially for people who use their Google account for 20+ years or something.

yes it's good. But you should also look at GLM 5 and Kimi K2.5 when looking at M2.5. It's amazing we have so many good and cheap open weight models now which are really not far behind the top models from the big US AI companies.

Anthropic Claude Code and OpenAI Codex plans are subsidised.

The Chinese open weight models hosted in US or Europe make more sense to use when you want to stay model agnostic and less dependent on a single AI company with relative expensive APIs.
