Anybody remember Talkie the Toaster? I just remembered the bit from Red Dwarf and it's amazing how they nailed today's super annoying, simplistic, and thirsty AI devices and agents of today.

Given the way things have been going in the US, the work I put into #Dropserver feels more important today than it was two days ago.
Americans must have agency over their interactions on the internet. https://dropserver.org is unfinished, imperfect and limited in scope, but it's my part in resisting.

...I don't recall exactly how it worked but it's probably fair to say it's a stretch to call it self hosting.

Does anybody remember playing with Tonido in 2009-2017? It was a self hosted #NAS thing you could install on your computer. It gave you access to your files from anywhere. It installed on all OS (Win, Mac, Linux) and required no networking config. Downside was everything went through their servers of course.

Playing with #Proxmox, installing #Debian with a preseed file served by #Deno.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed
Made it all the way through an installation with only one question: where to install the bootloader. That's much better than the tedious series of questions that I always answer the same way in that clumsy installer UI, and I can keep reusing that preseed with slightly different values for new VMs going forwards.
I was worried the few hours I spent wouldn't be worth it, but I think it is.

@ironicbadger Thanks for hosting the tailscale Q&A. The reason I was asking about moving a node to a new machine by copying the tailscaled files is because tailscale associates things with that node that I can't easily reproduce from tsnet. In particular shared users. If I recreate the node, I lose my sharees and have to reshare manually. Not great.
I'm well aware of the 12-factor app and "state" but there are limitations imposed by the tailscale side.

I went back and looked at one of my typical #mountainbike rides from when I lived on the Westside of #LosAngeles, and I overlaid the track with the #wildfires map.
😳
This was not a short ride: 33 miles and 4,000 feet of climbing. I covered a lot of ground. To think it's all burnt is crazy.
So much lost in these fires, but I will cherish the memory of all the times I spent riding in those hills. I was treated to so many beautiful views over the years.

Oohh Go 1.24 brings os.Root, which allows you to open a directory and present its contents using the FS (filesystem) interface. It prevents access to files outside the root, meaning malicious/erroneous code will not be able to operate on parts of the filesystem that they should not be touching.
So it's a little sandboxing feature in Go's standard lib. Nice!
Official announcement: https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.24

🎉 I got my Framework in late December 2021. It was a bit of a gamble at the time still, but I'm glad the company is still here and kicking.
Here's to many more years!

This was an interesting conversation, even if it's frustrating to start with the idea that apps and files are somehow in opposition.
Also, it's kind of surprising they never even mention #selfhosting your own services at home as a solution to the problem of combining some of the advantages of SaaS services with ownership of one's data.

I don't do this for regular books but this feels like how I handle bookmarks: I copy the URL to a relevant thread in my chronological note taking app and include some text about what is salient in the link. Later I revisit notes by searching for topics or looking at different time periods, or with different threads shown, essentially making a new arrangement of notes that maybe answer my current question.

When I lived in the desert, right where those photos are pointing, the mere act of looking out at the empty horizon seemed to lower my heart rate. Underrated.
Description of photos: scenes of desert at sun down. There is vast emptiness and some hills. Also some wind farms and buildings lost in the distance.

From this great post on #sqlite https://avi.im/blag/2024/sqlite-facts/ I learned (or re-learned?) that the test suite for sqlite is proprietary. This has some implications:
I sure hope there is a plan to push all test and supporting code to a foundation when the time comes.

I can't believe this is still a thing. Hello??
I noped right out of using Linux on an old laptop because of this some time ago. I can't remember the Linux distro, it was supposed to be a new "easy" one. But screen scaling was 1x, 2x, or GTFO. I tried compiling some special C code I found that would let me set non-integer scaling, failed to get it to work, so GTFO'd.

While there are technical challenges related to the sandbox, especially when dealing with different platforms (like Mac and Linux) the real challenge is having a good enough DX (for the app dev) and UX (for the app user) to allow/deny requests.
At the very least, an app should not be able to dial out willy nilly to a bunch of random domains. Also, it should be blocked from dialing out to local / private IPs unless explicitly allowed.
