On a side note. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for filestash, it is really a high quality software piece that solved a lot of pain points for me.

Isn't this basically what was happening with most of our personal projects coming from ideas that we found very interesting and then forget that we ever thought about it?

But MIT also requires Attribution, it is actually the only thing asked in MIT licence.

Any reasons on why an ISP would not implement it other than effort/cost? Just for someone like me whose networks knowledge is very naive.

I doubt that there is any open source license that don't require attribution but we are talking about a specific case and the license require it [1]

Open source licence requires attribution which obviously it is not done in this case.

Bro are you kidding? The whole point of small web is to avoid cooperations, AI and governments.

New comment by elashri in "Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command"

elashri — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 21:46:29 +0000

Which is why I actually said replace intern or robot by "human" in general in my comment.

> If you give a robot the ability to delete production it’s going to delete production

If you give an intern the ability to delete production, it's going to delete production. But to be honest you can as well replace "intern" or "robot" by human in general. Deletion in production should have safety layers that anyone cannot accidentally do it, specially without the ability of rolling back.

> Didn't Proton already say that they were physically relocating their servers outside of Switzerland because the Swiss government couldn't be trusted?

They said they want to relocate to Germany which I would say in a polite way, is much worse in this regard.

New comment by elashri in "The View from RSS"

elashri — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 22:52:43 +0000

I think the space of RSS feed readers and aggregators are very rich already. The pain point for ordinary users is to have easy way to generate RSS feeds for websites that don't provide organic one.

There are few options but mostly proprietary and expensive. And no normal person will want to play the CSS tricks to extract feed that something like FreshRSS support.

New comment by elashri in "Claude is an Electron App because we've lost native"

elashri — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 22:47:44 +0000

I disagree because yes I dislike the whole JS ecosystem and the language itself. But also because Electron apps in general are resource monsters and while some are better than the others, Claude Desktop is definitely not one of them. Hell even their website will crash on Firefox very often.

> OpenAI reportedly discussed charging $20k/month on PhD-level research agents with investors.

At this price point, it will be cheaper to hire a bunch of actual PhDs. The vast majority who will not earn anything close to 250k per year in most of the world.

When a corporate does something good, a lot of executives and people inside will go and claim credit and will demand/take bounces.

If something bad happened against any laws, even if someone got killed, we don't see them in jail.

I don't defend both positions, I am just saying that is not far from how the current legal framework works.
