One of the few things I miss after ditching the mac

Very interesting! The choice with the subnetting is a bit odd to me, it's surprising that you got the hosts talking to each other with that addressing. I would have chosen a proper /30 between the two computers, that would be 10.0.0.1/30 and 10.0.0.2/30.

    10.0.0.0 network address
    10.0.0.1 host (usable)
    10.0.0.2 host (usable)
    10.0.0.3 broadcast address

Nice writeup nonetheless!

unfortunately, compilation times are not so good.

Interesting bits are to be found under the rug :-)

Very useful. Just built and installed with the Go tooling.

Friendly reminder: you can name the binary WHATEVER YOU WANT in your system. There's absolutely no need to nitpick on the name.

Thank you! I'm much better now.

Back in 2020 I could very well have been the Pete in this story. I was struggling so bad with mental health issues, financial issues. On top of that, my father was giving the figh to prostatic cancer. I was just starting working remotely for the first time for a Canadian company. My employers were the nicest guys I have ever meet online and I was thrilled to have been asked to work for them as a software developer. At first I felt relieved because I finally landed in a job to do things I like using the tools I like with great people. Even though I desperately needed money, I was willing to work on a dime just to prove myself that I was sufficiently skilled to be "one of them".

But as exciting as it felt, there was an impedance that made things so difficult for me and my brain. It rapidly started to erode my self-confidence, I began pushing so hard trying to solve every task and every little detail in the most perfect way possible and felt like I was failing at everything. I certainly was failing at one thing and it was communication. The language was a barrier (English is not my native language), and I think there might have been some kind of «cultural mismatch» at play too. In hindsight, I think my employers were also failing to read what I was writing on the wall. I let them know I was struggling with mental health issues and I think I made sufficiently clear what my struggles were. They tried to help me the best they could but kept insisting on things that were irrelevant to me. Apparently they thought maybe I was doing "just a theatre" because I was afraid of asking to renegotiate my compensation (I wasn't). That was particularly frustrating to me.

At some point, feeling like a lightning rod in the middle of a thunderstorm, I was on the brink of doing what can't be undone. I had it all planned.

Lucky me, my wife was wakeful enough to notice what was going on and helped me get out of the pit.

Probably I'm just naive but I really don't understand this cyber warfare theater. Why aren't all internet operators in the free world just blackholing all russian ASNs (complete with the other allied bullies) from the internet routing tables? Wouldn't this be enough to avert all the nasty attacks on critical infrastructure?

the wordle craze is getting out of hand

Impressive. Yet another disappointing reminder that, as a programmer, I'm not worth the salt of the food I eat daily.

Very cool project! It's exciting to see two reputable Qt & KDE devs doing fresh stuff. (as a long-time linux user and Qt and KDE hobbyist I recognize their names like a sports fan recognizes their favorite players' names)

"Regain your independence and protect your privacy by installing your own email server. It takes less than 10 minutes!"

Well, I just spent more than 10 minutes and couldn't even find a download link. There's nothing in the page that suggests it's an actual free and/or open-source project.

I too remember _why.
