I distinctly remember sitting there in silence with my mouth open at a number of points during the game.

I went down the ~~MONIKA~_ route, though I was intrigued by %]~JUST_MONIKA%]€_ - She seemed like an interesting character.

- How did you go about developing this?

- Was the entire thing vibe coded or just part of it? No shade either way, just curious.

- How long did it take?

- What were some of the harder hurdles to overcome?

- Given the use of AI, what’s your approach to security of your users data? How did you review any generated code?

Solitude in your 30s (particularly as a DINK or SINK household) is dangerously addictive.

No need to leave the house… but it does lead one to feel disconnected more broadly over a prolonged period.

They’ll have to pry WFH out of my cold, dead hands; but I must say, the times I do travel to the office and spend a day chatting with people are incredibly energising (though also very unproductive!)

I’ve tried this in the past and had to revert as I found it made a noticeable difference in my day-to-day.

Curious to hear the experience of others.

Edit: I forgot HN strips emojis.

It’s always been ironic to me that a Privacy browser is dependent on source code primarily controlled by a company that derives the majority of its revenue from ads… exactly what the browser itself was spun off to shield its users against.

When I use Frinkiac, I already know the quote (or at least a few words from it), and I simply want a still or short gif of it (with a customized caption typically).

YMMV of course.

comb.io is good for those occasions where you need the actual clip with audio.

Just my own opinion of course!

I use Frinkiac multiple times a week to share memes with friends. We all grew up watching S1-8 weeknights over dinner and can quote those episodes almost flawlessly.

Would love to read some blog posts on how the site works, anecdotes from 10 years of maintaining it, legal troubles faced (etc)!

1. That Google is a competitor to them in the AI space.

2. That Google has such a strong stranglehold over the web, and Chromium/Chrome is a big part of that. I mean, why ultimately help your competitor here?

Safari? Orion?

My job is pretty much 100% in browser though, so I realise this isn’t viable for everyone.

It is an alternative to a traditional corporate VPN that addresses a few architectural issues; namely:

- L3 connectivity (which allows for lateral movement) to the corporate network. - Inbound exposure to the VPN gateway (scaling can become a challenge, not to mention continuous vulnerabilities from… certain vendors) - Policy management can get convoluted if you want to do micro-segmentation properly.

ZTNA is essentially an “inside-out” architecture and acts (kind of) like a L4 proxy. I’m going to butcher this explanation, but:

1. Company installs apps/VMs/containers throughout their network. These must have network reachability to the internal apps/services the company wants to make available to its users.

2. These apps/VMs/containers establish TLS tunnels back to the company’s tenant in the vendor’s cloud.

3. Company rolls out the vendor’s ZTNA client to user devices. This also establishes a TLS tunnel to the vendor’s cloud. Hence the vendor’s cloud is like a MitM gatekeeper.

4. Company creates policies in the vendor’s cloud that says “User A can access App X via app/VM/container Z”

5. Even if App X is on the same LAN segment as App Y, App Y is invisible to User A because connectivity to the internal apps happens at L4.

It is an interesting architecture. That being said, ZTNA solutions have their own issues as well (you can probably already spot some based on my explanation above!)

(Note: I worked for a security vendor that sold a ZTNA solution as part of their ~4-5 years ago. Things could be different now.)

The best thing to do is vote with your wallet; particularly if you're leveraging the tool for work.

It’s just a link to the main page of their website: nothing specific to warrant discussion.
