I never understood the issue with DNS-01. if you have a process that you trust to maintain a zone's TLS identity what is the big deal about letting it control a record in that zone?

> Json as a common language for human in visualization has been around for a while

Plant, Mermaid, Graphviz are all declarative textual representations designed for human authoring, JSON is made for tools. Its not a criticism just a statement that if interop across agent and human was intended this is not the simplest option.

Yeah, there are definitely valid contexts for hosting chat like this. E2EE has the benefit of not needing to trust the host, which I personally like but I can see this being fine or even wanted for lots of cases.

> requiring them to explicitly make visual decisions that are supposed to be handled by a good compiler

Isnt graphviz there for the same reason?

Edit: I see it is using JSON as the declaration language, I am OK with llms being "good at json" but a syntax also consumable by humans it is not!

So encrypted at rest but no E2EE, did I read that right?

> for years

Don't know about that. I did a ddg search "using docker compose (v2) plugin with podman" I do get some tutorials but they all are from 2026. This also aligns with my experience from late 2024 where you where typical advised to use `podman compose` or the compose script.

The CLI plugin or the script? Last time I checked the podman CLI did not support docker CLI plugins and the script is EOL since years.

I spent about a week last year trying to move from docker+compose plugin to a podman hosted variant. It has issues on multiple stages of the lifecycle as I mentioned in my original comment. Mac users lose fs events, a lot of compose.yml features are flaky (post start events), buggy (reset and import), or just not implemented (don't remember the exact features).

If you use podman and have no issues that is awesome but your use case is probably quite narrow, you are most probably on a non fedora based Linux and keep compose usage to a minimum.

Last time I checked podman compose was only a superficial docker compose equivalent. Also stuff like inotify seems to randomly break a lot on the podman side.

I'd love to be able to recommend people use podman but not having a good docker compose compatibility and missing inotify on volumes makes the DX just too problematic.

Don't requirements like online server based verification and advancing crypto make it almost impossible to pirate these games?

I don't know how this works nowadays but when I got taught to write (the pencil and paper kind) and specifically when I got taught syntax, it was "if you want to introduce a clause that explains or expands upon something that precedes it, you draw a small horizontal line" no mention of special chars, Unicode or whatsoever. So why is it so special other than being authors fancy?

I understand the sentiment with the tradesman example. I would argue that there are a multitude of ways to care about or take pride in one's trade and emdashing the floor is just one of them.

Leaving out apostrophes isn't the same though, is it? If you leave out apostrophes you have syntactic effects while a (sortof)dash is still sort of a dash?

What is the typical motivation to start using em-dashes?

Why go the extra way to have a slightly elongated dash when a normal one would just as well do the job?

I might be conpletely off here but I've never seen a situation where using a normal dash where a long one should be causes any sort of syntactic trouble.

Cool project! I had mistral vibecode me something similar (split into two services and run via docker compose) just a few weeks ago! I still have dome nitpicks with the result, maybe I'll switch my stack over to your solution!

That's definitely a thing in the corporate world. It doesn't even have to be the project lead, sometimes it comes via stakeholders, some times its even well meaning devs. It is a difficult balance to strike if you want to "only be reasonably safe" whereas cargo culting all security features might take a bit of time but you now can say "hey we did everything"

Pangram is a cool idea. It can be wildly wrong though.

Yup, that's the way it has to be. And thanks to the autocomplete on steroids we call Ai nowadays it actually has become way easyier to do such a thing.

Why not? I've seen both sides working out remarkably well. It is much more of a mindset thing than anything else.

Right, you did. I somehow misread your comment.
