If your system is compromised, it doesn't matter what you are using: the attacker will get the password for whatever secure thing you store your secrets in.

It seems that one of the train conductors did know that it was not the procedure and tried to warn of the problem.

Why would it be more secure to post 4 manual commandline instructions than a single file?

The criteria shouldn't be paid or not, it should be quality or slop.

Same impression here: things "done" are going faster, bigger, more complex, and the head has to keep up

That's why I put these into a separate list in the post

I still don't get why companies like Uber have 34000 employees, Canva 12000, LinkedIn 10000, Dropbox 2000, and so on, not even talking about Oracle with their 140000 or Salesforce with 80000

Yeah, that's why most common credit card skimming happens at public ATMs or gas stations...

Sury's own website and launchpad description are really misleading as to what to use, thanks for pointing to it

Definitely not available yet, launchpad says last builds are from 2026-10-12

The conversation should be about having more variety in structural components, not less: if you kill php and everyone starts using Go for example, the next CVE found in Go will impact as much. The real way is to have more widespread ecosystems.

Yes, that's not very well done: when you are handling big IT services, you need more than "a person wrote a scary thing on twitter" to justify such an impacting action

gregoriol — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 18:21:15 +0000

There are most likely IT governance problems: builders bought fridges, IT didn't provision sufficient access, installers put 3G keys instead of spending time getting the correct VPN/networking, and a few months later no one knows how this thing works, and IT is not mandated to find out that shops ever did that.

This, and also as an amateur once-in-a-while user of 2 apps, I don't get why I have to pay the same price as professionals using 5 or more apps every day.

New comment by gregoriol in "Zerobrew: A faster alternative to Homebrew"

gregoriol — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 07:16:41 +0000

Why would one care for 100x faster homebrew? it's a tool you use every now and then, you rarely install or upgrade 1000 things, and when you do it doesn't really matter if it takes 10s or 0.1s

gregoriol — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 08:25:20 +0000

iPad Air 5 had 64GB, probably the last one, but prices for storage have skyrocketed since

gregoriol — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 08:09:38 +0000

Would be nice for iOS too: less than 64GB devices are unusable due to Apple storing a huge ton of useless stuff as "system"

So if your terminal has access, your claude in the terminal has access too? that doesn't fix anything

They are probably too big to fail already (and too friendly with the current US gov). And even if they fail, open-weight models will take over as the usefulness of the tech behind has been proven.
