I have two iPhones and a MBP. I have to keep Bluetooth disabled on the MacBook otherwise it randomly triggers while I'm between podcasts or whatever and squeeze the AirPods to resume, instead it launches Apple Music, or some browser tab starts playing audio.

This is far from solved if you have more than one Apple device.

There is no option for me to say: never use AirPods for anything but podcasts, and absolutely never automatically select them as an audio source for zoom/teams. AirPods microphones just don't work for my vocal range, they sound horrible and underwater. The microphone on my MBP works great, the mic on my iPhones works great.

AirPods are fine if you only ever use one device at a time. If you use more than one at the same time, it becomes extremely annoying.

Let's not even get into the annoying ways which it becomes hard to manage when you have multiple AirPods, multiple iPhones, and multiple MacBooks.

I used Claude to rewrite it in golang and extend its features. Now I have tests, automatic AIA chain walking, support for all the DER and JKS formats, and it’s fast. My bash script could spend a few minutes churning through a folder with certs and keys, my golang version does a few thousand in a second.

So I basically built a limited version of OpenSSL with better ergonomics and a lot of magic under the hood because you don’t have to specify input formats at all. I wasn’t constrained by things like backwards compatibility and interface stability, which let me make something much nicer to use.

I even was able to build a wasm version so it can run in the browser. All this from someone that is not a great coder. Don’t worry, I’m explicitly not rolling my own crypto.

I thought this was a troll by Elon, now I'm leaning towards not. I don't see how whatever you build being dramatically faster and cheaper to do on land, even 100% grid independent with solar and battery. Even if the launch cost was just fuel, everything else that goes into putting data centers in space dwarfs the cost of 4x solar plus battery.

Either way, it's currently hard to be excited about RISC-V ITX boards with performance below that of a RPi5. I can go on AliExpress right now and buy a mini itx board with a Ryzen 9 7845HX for the same price.

India based folks cost 50-75% less. I realize that quality India hires would be closer to US rates, but management is ignoring that aspect.

Good news for your manual renewal friends, renewals drop to 197 days in February, halving again the year after, halving again until it reaches 47. So they will soon adopt automation, or suffer endless renewal pain.

It does work well as a travel router, and can pull north of 400Mbps over WireGuard.

Runs openwrt, but not upstream, so installing some packages can be a pain.

Ryanair is cheap, they charge extra for everything. But the tradeoff is you get where you are going for cheap if you avoid all the extras, including bottled water.

Windows XP largely made that irrelevant, and Windows 7 made it almost completely irrelevant.

I jest, but probably the $150 sales of the TouchID keyboard would tank as they are displaced by such a device.

For normal use, 2GB of RAM for that setup would be fine. But more RAM is more readily available cache, so more is better. It is certainly not even close to a requirement.

There is a lot of old, often repeated ZFS lore which has a kernel of truth but misleads people into thinking it's a requirement.

ECC is better, but not required. More RAM is better, not a requirement. L2ARC is better, not required.
