On: Days without GitHub incidents

[samgranieri]

GitHub is not a monopoly. It never has been. You've always been able to self-host or you can use gogs, gitea, gitlab, bitbucket, you get the idea

[badgersnake → samgranieri]

Good luck with that. GitHub stars is literally a criteria VCs use for funding.

On: Why TUIs are back

[samgranieri]

I really wish that 1Password wasn’t an electron app. Or Spotify. (Maybe I should just use Spotify in the browser).

We need to advocate and evangelize for native apps, like RapidApi on macOS and also Tower.

On: Why TUIs are back

[samgranieri]

I spend all day in a terminal multiplexer (zellij) with neovim and other splits. Using things like k9s / btop / lazygit / lazydocker helm / stern / whatever that systemd TUI I saw in here and started and will check out later just keeps me focused in one window, and that’s pretty cool

Also I can use the same tools on macOS and Linux machines over SSH. And I can use these tools on headless machines.

A GUI is a huge regression here.

On: Tell HN: Docker pull fails in Spain due to football Cloudflare block

[samgranieri]

This is inexcusable. Just because sports right holders are worried about piracy doesn’t give them license to break normal internet operations. Spain, get your act together and put your equivalent of the content cartel in the penalty box.

On: Nanobrew: The fastest macOS package manager compatible with brew

[samgranieri]

I think Max Howell created Homebrew. I think McQuaid is the current maintainer

[mikemcquaid → samgranieri]

Correct. Max created it in 2009. I joined a few months later. I've only maintained it for 17 years.

On: Cockpit is a web-based graphical interface for servers

[samgranieri]

Sometimes I like a web page to bring information to me rather than having to go on a command line use those tools to find the data I want. YMMV.

On: Cockpit is a web-based graphical interface for servers

[samgranieri]

I use this in my homelab. I really appreciate the systemd logging functionality in Cockpit.

It’s miles away from like Webmin, which I used god knows how long ago.

On: macOS 26 breaks custom DNS settings including .internal

[samgranieri]

I used to use dnsmasq and etc/resolvers for stuff like dot dev or dit whatever back in the day.

These days I’m just using Caddy to do ..localhost for my web dev and it works like a charm.

This is exceptionally sloppy on Apple’s part.

On: AirPods Max 2

[samgranieri]

I really enjoy my AirPods Max. nice and seamless and good audio and good noise cancellation. Now, I also have a Schiit stack with HD6xx or the AKG k371s when I want to some serious listening. But these Apple cans work just fine and sound great. If the current pair I have gets destroyed then I’ll think about getting a new pair.

On: How kernel anti-cheats work

[samgranieri]

remember when Sony put a rootkit an an audio cd to prevent people from ripping the cd?
