A lot of footpaths in Europe are designated paths that are shared with cyclists

Does anyone know of any good firewalls for macOS? The built in firewall is practically unusable, and if client isolation can be bypassed, the local firewall is more important than ever.

I often have a dev server running bound to 0.0.0.0 as it makes debugging easy at home on the LAN, but then if I connect to a public WiFi I want to know that I am secure and the ports are closed. "Block all incoming connections" on macOS has failed me before when I've tested it.

I have just today discovered zmx [1] which is like tmux but I always hated the tmux terminal emulation and how it hijacks scrolling, especially on Termius on my phone. It does session persistence but I think without the terminal emulator side of things, so scrolling works normally.

Been testing it today with Claude Code and it seems to work quite well switching between my laptop and phone.

You can look at any air quality website and source of information and see that the air quality here is utter crap.

If not IQAir, you can use Windy, WAQI, Airly (founded in Krakow, so lots of sensors here).

I am in Krakow right now and my IKEA sensor is reading 183 µg/m³ when I put it outdoors. On a good day it's normally less than 5.

The PM2.5 in Krakow is currently 185 µg/m³, the WHO recommended annual average is 5 µg/m³.

This is about air quality, not waste on the streets.

I was travelling a lot a couple of days ago across the countryside just outside of Krakow, and people are definitely burning plastics and trash, you can smell it even inside your car in the early hours of the morning.

It's coming from the surrounding areas, not the city itself.

Definitely don't recommend going down this path if you're not already familiar with Nix, but if you are, a strategy that I find works really well is to package your software with Nix, then you can run it easily via systemd but also create super lightweight containers using nix-snapshotter[0] so you don't have to "build" container images if you still want the flexibility of containers. You can then run the containers on Docker or Kubernetes without having to build heavy images.

Not gonna lie Terranix has been working great for us, all our configuration is in Nix files anyway so it's so easy to just pass stuff in rather than using Tf variables etc

It's quite an unfortunate coincidence that React has indirectly been the reason for two recent issues at Cloudflare haha

Looking forward to the post mortem on this one. We weren't affected (just using the CDN), and people are saying they weren't affected who are using Cloudflare Workers (a previous culprit which we've since moved off), so I wonder what service / API was actually affected that brought down multiple websites with a 500 but not all of them.

Wise was just down which is a pretty big one.

Also odd how some websites were down this time that previously weren't down with the global outage in November

I just considered moving from Namecheap to Porkbun as Namecheap is down, but Porkbun use Cloudflare for their CAPTCHA meaning I'm unable to signup and I assume log in as well, so also no good.

Can't even change my nameservers away from Cloudflare as Namecheap use Cloudflare!!

This is pretty cool and brings back a lot of memories for me. When I was younger I remember building a clone of Roblox in C# with the Lua scripting engine part as well. I even ported some script builder scripts over to it (Player199 admin commands or something like that, can’t remember the name exactly)

Good times
