Wouldn’t the IP allowlist feature on the GitHub organisation work wonders for this kind of attack?

I've been using mailbox.org for 5 years and like it very much. Cost some 3 EUR per month (actually there's a 50% discount this week).

Dead simple email that just works. Their webUI is fine, but I almost exclusively use it on iOS or macOS with the default mail app. They also have some other features (calendar, office suite, video calls) that I don't use. I really like the option to create up to 25 email aliases.

New comment by robinhoodexe in "Run Nix Based Environments in Kubernetes"

robinhoodexe — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 19:26:42 +0000

First, congrats on the release. I’ve looked at flox and devenv for nixifying our container builds. Our distribution of languages is about 40/30/20/10 of Python, F#, R and nodejs.

A dilemma I’m facing is that the win from nix in terms of faster builds and smaller images would be largely from python and R images (where the average size is often 1Gi or larger). However, the developers that use Python or R are less likely to “get” the point of Nix and might have a steeper learning curve than F# developers (where the builds are quite efficient).

That was the context, my question is, how’s the integration with Flox and R/RStudio? I know there’s Rix[1] for managing R packages with Nix.

Agreed, it'd be nice to see the graphs with a linear scale.

We use this for internal base images at $DAYJOB in order to get SIGTERM properly passed in Kubernetes, mostly a problem with Python, R and Elixir. Works wonders with only a default ENTRYPOINT in the base image, so it’s completely “hidden” from the developers (most of them don’t care, and rightly so).

I’m interested in how it is compared to seaweedfs[1], which we use for storing weather data (about 3 PB) for ML training.

New comment by robinhoodexe in "Show HN: Subtrace – Wireshark for Docker Containers"

robinhoodexe — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:30:19 +0000

It’d be neat to use subtrace in an ephemeral pod for debugging purposes, that just runs alongside the regular pod.

For monitoring the network traffic for the whole cluster, the CNI and/or whatever ebpf-based runtime security stuff you’re using (falco, tetragon, tracee) is usually enough, but I can definitely see the usefulness of subtract for more specific debugging purposes. If run as a DaemonSet make sure to add some pod filtering such as namespace and label selectors (but I’m sure you’ve already thought about that).

I tried an Ubuntu x86 VM with UTM on a M1 MacBook Pro, but the results was extremely slow.

I think Intel Macs will give a better result.

I asked for a status on the forums[1] but the it doesn’t look too positive. From a September 2024 steam post:

> After investigating the programming requirements, we have decided it’s best to cancel the Mac build for the time being. Porting the game over to Mac would take significant time and resources away from improvements to Fortress and Adventure Mode that simply don’t make sense for us to dedicate right now, given the low number of Mac-only users. There is a significant amount of work that would be required for maintaining a Mac build that would delay all patches in the future, and as we know, you all want patches faster. We aren’t saying it will -never- happen but do not count on it any time soon. We are very sorry to all the Mac users who have been waiting patiently for an update on this.
