I have a static route configured on my home's gateway that enables any device on my network to access Tailscale. I have Tailscale turned on my iPhone pretty much all the time anyway, but even if I didn't I'd still be able to access services I have hosted that are only accessible on my tailnet.

Given the hour this is making headlines, they'll be posting a lot of CDs to the antipodes.

I can't speak for the others, but registering a .aero domain requires submitting an application that's reviewed by a human and assessed based on the domain's relevancy to the aviation industry.

Some of my favourite fonts I only discovered because I first visited a site that included it in their design.

I've owned several pairs of AirPods over the years and this is the first I'm learning about some of their features. I almost found myself wanting there to be a third column for indicating Apple support (of course I'm being facetious).

I absolutely adore my 2018 jailbroken LG OLED, although it pains me that everything I love about this TV are features the manufacturer actively discourages and wishes I never had access to.

I think that's what everyone is going to think.

Hot take: At least they're ripping the bandaid now instead of stringing users along and eventually abandoning it like they normally do.

I never really used the Antigravity IDE, but had it installed. The update also made me do a double take and wonder what the hell was going on.

It seems like Google is hitting the reset button on the product they call "Antigravity", existing users be damned. Fine, if you've never installed or used the previous version before... but for existing users the "bait and switch" is incredibly disorientating.

My take is they saw the market size for a general agentic tool as being larger and more significant than a specialised IDE. It shows a pretty large lack of respect for users in the later group though.

It appeals to me as a minimalistic version of the Bear[1] notes app.

A few years ago I played around with copying the Bear app interface for the web, the idea was to create a visually identical mockup of the app so you could immediately visualise changes made when customising various theme values. I stalled with the implementation of the last part, but the rest of it is up at bear.christippett.dev

Similarly I remember being at Australia Post discussing data privacy for a project and I couldn't help but make the wisecrack remark "don't y'all routinely distribute millions of individual's personal data every year and just leave the information lying about on people's doorstops for anyone to access?"

Am I correct that this has come about because archive.org respects robots.txt and these sites have blocked their crawler from indexing their sites?

I'm not sure how to articulate my thoughts on this exactly, other than to say it's disappointing that doing the right thing (i.e. respecting robots.txt) is rewarded with the burden of soliciting responses to a petition while at the same time others are rewarded with profit for ignoring those same directives.

I agree! A refreshing interlude to the cybersecurity postmortems and corporate layoff news.

This is perhaps where our perspectives differ, because I see the usage of LLMs not as an external third-party (another team per your example), but instead as an extension of one's self. Given that lens, I'm highly sensitive to the quality and function of its output, because ultimately its contribution is my responsibility.

I appreciate not everyone feels this way, but that's why I personally would be anathema not to read its code.

Fish shell has builtin[1], although sudo is not one of the commands it covers.

Yeesh, is "never reading the code" really the modus operandi we want from AI?

Microsoft, for all their warts, at least had the compassion to call their AI product "Copilot", suggesting we have some residual agency in whatever it is that it produces.

I have zero expectation that any design tool will export concise and optimal SVG markup.

I highly recommend using SVGO (https://svgo.dev/).

> For instance, the name "www.nytimes.com" corresponds to nine different computers that answer requests for The New York Times on the Web, one of which is 199.181.172.242

  $ dig -x 199.181.172.242 +short
  www2.nytimes.com.
Neat.

It's not quite what you suggested, but you can use podman with systemd.
