It really depends what you are doing. But copy and paste is super slow on iterm2, like coffee going slow.

Well because some php configurations had an absurdly low default max upload size, which made the rce way harder. Plesk for example ships with 2m for some reason.

btw I used iterm2 for years as well and sometimes tried others.

I now use ghostty it’s faster definitely. Yes it has some quirks which is hard to overcome as a iterm2 user. But I could live with it. I think ghostty is basically also the only alternative to iterm2

    The attack needs no authentication — only one public project that can hold the .org payload.
So probably not vulnerable if no public projects exist - ie self hosted has an needs auth for everything mode.

I have that aswell…

But I also updated pretty early.

Also they could’ve sent patches to at least some trusted members/maintainers/distros/hyperscalers/big Hosters/plesk/cpanel. It would’ve been easier to make some kind of coordinated release.

Also not announce it beforehand…

The vibe coded version probably work and are probably faster. But probably not more maintainable or easy to write new features for.

But for stuff like that, it is usually not often a problem since features are most often first built as a spec and a test(suite) which by itself makes the thing easier to maintain with vibe coding. Since the implementation in itself is not import, only that it works like the spec. But that works only for software that can have a well defined specification and a test(suite). Basically it only works for things that are formally verified through the spec, which is not a lot of things at the moment.

What did you want to accomplish with 5.04??

In Spanish or other European countries 5,04 would’ve been correct?

So 5.04 would either be invalid or 504 like Claude did.

Trust me, they need those. Because somewhere there are people on an old Citrix env that only contains some older browser versions

> Just because they published Open Source code at some point, you feel that you're entitled to free updates for the rest of your life?

No. That is not the expectation.

But using the open source brand going forward is a shitty move. If they want a commercial offering they should just rebrand and abandon the oss offering.

Bitwarden the company is not struggling.

Sorry but the elasticsearch thing was a big stupid take of elastic. It was big corpo against big corpo not the poor elastic company.

Changing licenses is a sick move and companies doing that should be fucked over, because the license made them big. Changing it later on means that they got greedy nothing more nothing less.

Without oss bitwarden would be a paid cloud like all the others that probably would’ve had a hard time getting trusted.

Well it used what was available at the time. Which was not a lot, that it even worked is insane

Well at the moment we do not use Gemini in an agentic framework. But as said the flash and flash lite families are basically their driving force in some of their applications in Google cloud, like document ai and its ocr capabilities are probably better when it comes to business documents than any other (at least in perf to cost to speed). We also drive Gemini lite in our application where customer can use it to generate simple automation, like an agentic framework but way way smaller scale. And while it struggles in more context heavy operations it still is a beast when feeding it one or two pdf documents and asking questions about them and it’s hella fast.

From a business perspective a frontier model does not make much sense anymore if you are not a startup. Neither for Amazon, nor for Google. Their clouds need models that are fast and perform well in their agent frameworks nothing were a frontier model excels at.

Most Google products even use flash lite underneath, so their frontier model is mostly used for distillation.
