The hands are also almost in the exact same image Steve Jobs had on a slide during the iPad keynote showing touch on a laptop is not ergonomic. It's poetic, almost.

I don't use Omarchy, nor would I, but I think that "VERY, VERY" is a little hyperbolic, no? It's a simple `admonish-yellow` warning box that says something vague about root-level privileges and wants me to read more about what this actually means. I would wager that a large amount of people scroll past that with no second thought because it really doesn't come off as that bad. I know I configure most, if not all, of my systems this way. Many people probably don't actually understand the implications of what they are doing, and perhaps the Docker team should actually put a little bit more effort into scaring users off.

Perhaps Omarchy shouldn't have shipped this by default, but the whole point of the system is to be DHH's personal computer just the way he likes it (to include not 1, but 2 shortcuts to Twitter!) - all his products are that way and largely the reason why I don't ever think I could use one long term.

For things I know ahead of time I'm going to need to give someone an email for (e.g. the dentist), I'll pre-make that address and have it ready for when they ask for it. For one-offs / unprepared asks for my email I usually just give them my 'main' [email protected] e-mail just for the simplicity... Fastmail does let you use *@personaldomain.com to forward to your main address, but for the rare circumstance in which you need to reply to one of those emails, you do need to configure it in the settings.

Fastmail is probably the best $60/year I spend

No clue. I once gave Firefox a 4 star review on the App Store saying my only qualm was that there was no adblocker, despite other browsers having them (I gave examples of Edge & Brave). They replied within a day or two stating it was a "limitation of the web engine" and there was nothing they could do until Apple changed their policy. Then, they deleted my bad review. Really changed the way I looked at Mozilla.

By far the most easy to understand explanation of iroh. I still kept thinking to myself "But why not just Tailscale?" when reading the other comments.

For me, I find more value in connecting computers together than connecting applications together, but I'm not building P2P apps...

In Maryland I received my car's title, but it just shows the lien holder's information on it. I've never bought a car in any other state so my information is limited.

Is this different from what you mean?

Also have your same concerns / complaints with lane change hesitation on the latest FSD in a Juniper Model Y; the car puts the blinker on and then acts super-duper nervous, almost as if it were driving for the first time.

That said, I only notice this behavior in the "Standard" FSD profile. When I bump it up to "Hurry" or "Mad Max" the confidence is 100x. Not sure why, exactly, but this may help you. The only downside is that "Hurry" loves to speed and "Mad Max" even more so.

It's not worth the hassle, but for the Windows machines in my house I set up Windows Server and have all the machines provisioned to an Active Directory domain where I turn off all the crap via Group Policy. You can get by with just editing Group Policy for a standalone Windows Pro copy, but for more than one machine I really didn't want to fiddle with having to update each machine's policy whenever Microsoft does something stupid.

I set up this exact combo (thelounge + mumble) for my friends last night after this news. It's not a complete 1:1, but I think it'll meet our needs. I'm going on a road trip and as a fun experiment I'm going to try to get Claude to churn on integrating Mumble into thelounge, somehow, to mimic the Discord client. I'd really prefer something other than Jitsi for screen sharing, since I'm a weirdo and don't like the UX of making a 'call' and much rather prefer the 'hop in' style VC like Discord or Mumble.

I see it similar to browser user-agents all claiming to be an ancient version of Mozilla or KHTML. We pick whatever works and then move on. It might not be "correct," but as long as our tools know what to do, who cares?
