Watch out. If you peer too closely at the border between layer 2 and 3, you might noclip into the backhauls.

Software Should Work An independent conference on software reliability in Columbia, MO on July 16-17, 2026

I'm speaking at Software Should Work in July 16! Really pumped to not have to travel overseas for once :)

What we are working on right now: blog.exe.dev/meet-exe.dev

We all need more virtual machines. We keep building software to work around the fact that VM infrastructure is clunky. Let's have good VM infrastructure instead.

Romulans!

If the “keep me signed in” people would just talk to the “unsubscribe” people…

Unusual but highly specific and functional vs. arbitrary and silly?

I love the jj evolog for when I’m using agents. You can even restore a single file from an arbitrary point out of the evolog.

Tailnet Lock is generally available, have complete control over your tailnet Tailnet Lock lets customers ensure every node on the tailnet is signed by a set of admin-controlled keys before being granted any network connectivity.

There’s something special about @tailscale.com buried in here:
They mention the open source alternative to their SaaS platform in their own blog. This tells me they’re confident that they’re providing value while avoiding arbitrary lock-in. ❤️

Wouldn’t have had time for it without the LLM

I appreciated your perspective here. I definitely agree with the idea that you need to try these tools out for long enough to form an opinion. I recently used LLMs and agents to make a project for some friends and was able to fit it in a small amount of spare time while prioritizing family.

Looking forward to the discourse discourse on Discord!

I switched my desktop to NixOS a few months back and I’m really liking it. I’m still working out how some of my preferences for managing the config, but I get a similar enjoyment as when I used to run Arch.

In mine I saw multiple references to avoiding sycophancy, which I now believe is malicious compliance on ChatGPT’s part.

I only remember hearing the horse meat story once, but somehow this was the first time I heard the Dennis Ritchie story.

It took me three tries to “get it.” In the first attempt I couldn’t get through my head that you start changes and then change files. Git always felt the other way for me. `jj undo` feels like magic.

More likely GPT-4oCamel

Rust is easy? Go is… hard? Rust crab hanging out on the beach. Go gopher doing hard labor.

I feel like this is a pretty fair take. Go does feel clear and simple when your projects are fairly small, but as the project’s complexity increases, this can be a hindrance.

The first mover advantage is often negated by a bad user experience.

I figured the IBM version of Terraform would be called OpenShiftLeft.

I’ve really enjoyed how he subtly weaves the different book series together so that you can enjoy them separately, but get a lot more if you read them all.

Found the Sanderson fan! 😁 one of my old servers was named that also.

Rockchip RK3588 mainline Linux support - Current status and future work for 2025 - CNX Software The Rockchip RK3588 is one of the most popular Arm SoCs for single board computers, and while good progress has been made with regards to mainline u-boot

"I was told Rockchip no longer considers RK3588 to be an “open source” chip. In practice, that means Rockchip no longer contributes RK3588 code to open-source projects and they also decided not to sell RK3588 directly to SBC vendors." www.cnx-software.com/2024/12/21/r...
