funnel does not terminate tls, we don't handle your plain text on our servers, the encrypted link is routed by SNI header all the way to the serving node and only then decrypted at your client. we can't do this with plain tcp.

oh, github killed the `t` key now too, sigh

i've always felt the vibe that cats understand, they just don't care

i don't think people who say this have used LLMs all that much. they mostly don't care if you switch languages 3 times in the middle of a sentence. sure they'll stumble on lack of api knowledge for new things, but they do that already and so do the rest of us

ruby script: can i add this program to /Applications?
darwin: oh sure, go ahead
..a month later..
ruby script: hey can i update that program in /Applications?
darwin: oh sure (but actually secretly, nope lol)
user: wtf?
darwin: oh because the terminal emulator isn't allowed

it's a constant source of amusement and horrific disappointment speaking with people loudly making ethical suggestions around the impact on music artists while posting spotify playlists in the next channel over. there aren't emoji with sufficient content to finish this with

I am disappointed in the AI discourse steveklabnik.com/writing/i-am...

i want to go back to GitHub before they used react. all the UX was better.

Yeah, there are a few subtle implementation bits, almost gotchas, that are hard to spot in the prose

the Jim Cramer school of compiler tuning: D-cache is out, put it all into I-cache

I'm at Elysian Brewing for the Grafana conference speaker happy hour and there's a beer that this brewery makes called "Prometheus" but THEY'RE OUT OF IT.

C'mon.

runtime: green tea garbage collector · Issue #73581 · golang/go Green Tea 🍵 Garbage Collector Authors: Michael Knyszek, Austin Clements Updated: 2 May 2025 This issue tracks the design and implementation of the Green Tea garbage collector. As of the last update...

New experimental garbage collector for Go programs! github.com/golang/go/is...

apples messed up vrr implementation just caused excessive flashing on my monitor and burned ghosts into my display

Garbage Collection (verb) The practice of implementing increasingly convoluted and fragile workarounds to compensate for the fundamental limitations of a poorly designed memory allocation system, resulting in a precarious structure of interdependent hacks that grows more unstable with each fix.

GitHub’s slowness is becoming a problem

apparently you've never seen the bad side of dhs

it's almost the same config change, just `window-decoration = none` in ghostty vs. `return { window_decorations = RESIZE }` for wezterm, but they're both good so 🤷

seems like the extra anti-aliasing you're getting from the svg render scaling means maybe you should just svg your entire shell prompt 🤣

github?
backblaze?
twitter (pre elmo)?
slack?
...

yes, safe as in std::fs::write("/dev/mem", b"yolo").unwrap();

OMG it's a rust easter egg! Just in time for easter!

Anybody want to come work on Tailscale's internal dev tooling/productivity, CI, bots, dashboards, etc?

Pretty please? 😅

Good news: we’ve raised more funding. What’s it mean for you?

More polish, fewer rough edges, and faster progress toward a future where secure networking just works — no config, no hassle.

turns out the real alignment problem was sane levels of browser usage

so that waymo ad with the deaf girl getting a waymo cab and then falling asleep...

... what does the car do when they arrive?

is it possible to dodge the dogs hearing range and still be effective even if less so, or is there inescapable overlap?

yeah, it's mind blowing, but it's always been pretty obvious that this whole thing was about earning yet another comma, and he's probably gunna manage it at this rate. this is also the water testing version, i'm terrified of what comes next in the federal contract space
