It's so disappointing that we could have had Usenet, but instead have centralised/corporate/ad/spyware invested Facebook/Reddit/Xitter/Tiktok.

Maybe the bakery expands to make more than just loaves of bread, maybe different cakes, sandwiches, maybe expand delivery to nearby towns.

They build that using GPT-5.4

GPT literally built that game.

Google are also destroying that path by delaying the releases more and more.

This was the analogy I was looking for! It feels like a very creepy way to make money, almost scammy and the gym membership/overselling hits the nail.

Codex is Open Source though, so I wonder at what stage me adding features to Codex is different from me starting a new project and using the subscription.

But I believe OpenAI does let you use their subscription in third parties, so not an issue anyway.

I'm not sure if you'd call it a productivity gain, but I have to host our infrastructure on a system that runs processes entirely in Linux userland.

To bridge the containers in userland only, without root, I had to build: https://github.com/puzed/wrapguard

I'm sure it's not perfect, and I'm sure there are lots of performance/productivity gains that can be made, but it's allowed us to connect our CDN based containers (which don't have root) across multiple regions, talking to each other on the same Wireguard network.

No product existed that I could find to do this (at least none I could find), and I could never build this (within the timeframe) without the help of AI.

Can you explain how to use it? I’ve tried asking it to do “create 3 files using multiple sub agents” and other similar wording. It never works.

Is it in the main Codex build? There doesn’t seem to be an experiment for it.

You have to download the CSV manually from the gov.uk link.

This looks great. I've been using OpenWebUI for a while now and the weird licence and inability to just pay for branding has frustrated me.

This looks like it's not only a better license, but also much better features.

New comment by turblety in "So, you’ve hit an age gate. What now?"

turblety — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 18:38:06 +0000

There seems to be a big movement (UK specifically) from governments using age gateing as an excuse to increase surveillance and online tracking. I don't know where Roblox is based or it's policies, but it's likely they are just implementing what the government has forced them to do.

We need to push back against governments that try and restrict the freedom of the internet and educate them on better regulations. Why can sites not dictate the content they provide, then let device providers provide optional parental controls.

Governments forcing companies to upload your passport/ID, upload pictures/videos of your face, is dangerous and we are going to see a huge increase of fraud and privacy breaches, all while reducing our freedoms and rights online.

A closed source wrapper around a web view? I have to advise that no one install, never mind use, this closed source, proprietary blob. Especially not for anything confidential like banking, health, etc.

This is amazing, and I hope this sets a precedent for other companies. Stuff like this would definitely sway my buying decision, if I know when a product becomes EOL I can tinker with it.

Seems like great publicity for Anna's Archive. I've heard an increasing amount about Anna's Archive over the last 12 months. It has popped up a lot. I wonder if they've seen their traffic spike a lot.

turblety — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 11:43:09 +0000

I’m nearly the same. Though I do find I’m still writing code, just not the code that’s ending up in the commit. I’ll write pseudo code, example code, rough function signatures then Claude writes the rest.

Yeah you are right. Can you think of any way we could capture that traffic too?

Thanks chjj. Yeah it's always LD_PRELOAD. There is wireproxy [1] though that might do what you want?

Nice, I love WireGuard. I ended up building WrapGuard [1] to run applications without root access to the host and choose Go to write it in. I don't really know Rust, but does it make more sense for firmware/networking type software? Is there even a difference?
