Wide-spread adoption of passkeys can’t come soon enough.

I’d much rather praise them when they do something well, but this is so hard to spot when just reading over committed code. All the obstacles they cleared are not visible in there.

This is SO true and exactly why code reviews always feel like a beat down (even when they’re not). There’s no visibility into the truly good work that’s already been done.

I’d argue this is a wash. Linux is more convenient in many ways but Windows is in others.

On Google Fi the watch data “piggy backs” on the phone’s data. You still need a phone + phone plan.

Everything old is new again.

That’s because that’s exactly what they are.

No, no, the real problem is video games… and Dungeons & Dragons… and the mall of course… and comic books… and…

ARM is RISC (or at least a version of it).

Mullvad got rid of their port forwarding.

So did IVPN. Use Proton VPN now.

“all your vscode extensions still work fine” is definitely not true. Sure a vast majority of them probably do, but certainly not all of them.

I still prefer it over full VS Code though.

Companies having a geographic monopoly over access to the internet doesn’t change the fact that the Internet as a whole is decentralized.

That being said, yes, something should be done about ISPs.

I understand what you’re saying but it feels wrong to lump Cloudflare in with Google and Amazon. Clouflare, thus far anyway, has been mostly a force of good for the internet.

The internet IS decentralized.

Think of the up vote button more as a “this information is worth spreading” button than “I like or agree with this content”.

I am super impressed with Arch on my home servers. People seem to think “rolling” means “unstable” but the only issues I’ve had were due to some weird hardware incompatibility with my motherboard. Once I replaced the mobo my system has been rock solid AND reasonably up-to-date (I do use LTS kernel).

My bill hasn’t changed but maybe I was grandfathered in.

Yes, I’m aware. Still as good at it’s always been

I’ve been using Linode for a decade (or more) now without any issues. I’d encourage you to contact their support about this issue. Assuming you’re on the up-and-up this sounds like a big and in sure they’d be happy to help.

If you decide not to go with Linode though I think Digital Ocean is a good alternative.

Yeah, as soon as I read the second paragraph my thought was “buy your own router”. Problem solved.
