I don't want to be like "that guy" or anything but there is definitely a racoon in there so like 14,332 cats and a racoon.

I switched from packer to lazy after I noticed the maintainer of packer stopped using packer in his neovim config. Also I believe he has now officially marked it as unmaintained and recommends lazy or pckr

“If someone does not have the basic tech literacy to install arch”

I think there is a big jump from the tech literacy to install Arch and the tech literacy to maintain an Arch system over time. These derivatives feel like they are there to help solve the latter.

I don’t think that’s really fair. They are highlighting some pretty serious security flaws in MCP tools that are allowed to do some pretty privileged things.

They don’t even mention their product till the very last section. Overall think it’s an excellent blog post.

"usually it demands 'libDickSmasher v2.0 or higher'"

Legit made me chuckle

I guess there must be a largish market for this since AWS introduced Outpost to provide the "cloud" to onprem industries. I feel like this is competing with that market.

Since many of those use cases probably already run extensive on-prem infrastructure this could appeal to them. AWS outpost talks about industries like healthcare, telecom, media and entertainment, manufacturing, or highly regulated spaces like financial services. I've heard of media companies that process through things like IMAX cameras that have just tons of TB's of data sometimes just for 5 minutes worth of footage. That would simply be too cost prohibitive - in bandwidth alone - to try and move around in the cloud and you don't want to have to wait for things like AWS snowball or whatever.

While I think the space is "niche" those niche spaces are not small. Big companies with big budgets.

Perhaps this changes the calculus. If you don't need as much of an ops team to go private cloud. Then you might not need to be as large before it makes sense.

I'm also surprised no one is really mentioning Nomad in this discussion either, I know for a fact circleci used nomad at some point to schedule CI tasks on worker machines. If I create a SaaS product that runs programs which get scheduled with nomad under the hood is that a breach of the license?

I was wondering anyone could shed some light on the "These hash functions should be pairwise independent" part. I don't know what pairwise independent means. My background is mostly in web so I am familiar with things like `sha256`, `sha1`, `md5` things like that. Would you use these kind of functions for Count-min Sketch?

I saw in your socklimit project looks like `fasthash64` and `hashlittle` I'm not familiar with those any insight or recommended reading to understand these hash functions?

p.s. googling pairwise independent hash functions did get me some college class reading but doesn't mention any named hash functions developed out in the world.
