Kagi's repository doesn't contain any of raphaelrobert's code directly. It's used as a library: https://github.com/kagisearch/privacypass-lib/blob/main/src/...

Espressif are a Chinese company so I would imagine so. Although you shouldn't find an ESP32 on a car anyway, they are not automotive grade parts.

You still authenticate and kick off the Mosh session via SSH, so it shouldn't be any worse than plain SSH.

> Mosh doesn't listen on network ports or authenticate users. The mosh client logs in to the server via SSH, and users present the same credentials (e.g., password, public key) as before. Then Mosh runs the mosh-server remotely and connects to it over UDP.

Dust (and scratches?) can be detected with an infrared scan. The IR scan is only used to detect defects, and then something like a spot removal tool is automatically applied to the defect areas.

> If serde_json is a parser and has a different feature set than json-threat-protection, does it make sense to compare performance?

If you were using serde_json just to validate a payload before passing it on to another service (like a WAF), then the comparison makes sense. If you had more complex validations or wanted to extract some of the data, then maybe not.

New comment by matthews2 in "Show HN: Is_ready – Wait for many services to become available – 0 Dependencies"

matthews2 — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 04:27:43 +0000

Zero dependencies seems like a weird selling point, especially since it depends on Clap, Tokio, a Rust compiler...

A neat project, though. I think that this is best solved in the application itself (e.g. your server starts but returns HTTP errors while the database is unavailable), but being able to retrofit this behaviour into any existing application seems useful. Feels like something very similar should be built into tools like docker-compose.

Maybe there isn’t a benefit to closed-source Llama either.

You can drop root after binding, or you can use capabilities to allow a particular program to bind on privileged ports. php-fpm could listen on a UNIX socket instead of a TCP socket.
