MCP is SOAP-XML without the contract or formal language, it's hilarious

Criminal liability for the corporate officers is the correct approach. Can't pass jailtime on to the consumers.

it would likely be built into the ID, like a PIV/CAC card. I thought about this same thing many years ago, the state DMV's could be in a PKI web of trust with a federal signer/issuer/cross-signer above them. Proving your identity online would mean inserting your ID into your computer so it could be crypto-graphically validated. Yes there are genuine privacy and other concerns, but we'll probably end up there anyway and could have avoided all the mess of having these crappy third party for profit companies involved. The tech already exists, and has existed for some time.

Go ahead and let them try consumer SSD's. It seems to be a lesson everyone has to learn with ZFS once.

I've had the misfortune of scripting an UE build with perfoce as the VCS, it truly is abysmal.

>so much saner than Linux firewalls it's not even close.

This is a big one for me. I've run openBSD and Linux custom boxes as SoHo routers and I just cannot stand Linux firewalls, I've never liked them and IPTables is just terrible. Yes I know there are wrappers around it now but it's still the default everywhere and still used by lots of other software like Docker. I'm using OPNSense now which is FreeBSD based instead of completely rolling my own but I love that it is still BSD under the hood.

One differing opinion I will offer is that I find NixOS to be the Linux distro most in the openBSD spirit despite it being very different from a UX and config management perspective. Alpine is interesting, but it has its own security and compatibility issues, especially around MUSL libc which I have had cause many strange downstream issues over the years, I just hit one recently in JVM GC caused by its memory allocation implementation. I've stopped using alpine altogether because of them.

Feel the same way about COVID. It damaged the social fabric in ways that have not recovered. I think a lot of people realized that maybe they never really liked socializing as much as they thought they did. I also think it just kind of reset people's expectations around socializing. The other big one to me, that it also unleashed, was inflation. Dining out, sporting events, concerts etc are all way more expensive than they used to be. Places are still busy and games are still packed but the prices are way higher, more evidence of the K shaped economy where only the top stratas are spending. Also, and this is subjective, it feels a bit more performative, as in people are going because it signals they have the means (edit: and the general instagram-ification of our culture.)

If I paste something from an AI into chat, I always identify it as such by saying something like "my claude instance says this:". I also don't blindly copy paste from it, I always read it first and usually edit it for brevity or tone. Feel like this should be the absolute minimum for sending AI content to a person.

Extremely debatable. They still have never fully implemented health checks and auto healing. I have had compose itself behave in unexpected ways, weird things like not realizing the tag of an image it is running is actually in use, and letting prune commands yank it out from under the system. Other things I can't remember. I'd rather use something like Nomad or for simpler systems maybe plain systemd. But realistically kubernetes is a superior orchestrator in just about every way, and installing k3s is simple and k3s is actually production ready. I don't like kubernetes all that much as cluster tech, but as a container orchestrator it has a lot of nice features.

I'm a fan of the monorepo in general, even before LLMs. If using git it leverages git's best feature IMO, the commit as a snapshot of the entire repo. I've worked on so many projects where tightly coupled things are split across repos because it's thought of as a best practice, and it just makes it more difficult to figure out what code you are running.

Ubuntu has patches out, tested before and after patching.

>CalDAV, CardDAV, and SMB are baked into iOS, whereas these are onerous to set up on Android

I can only speak to SMB but it is not hard on Android. I use a longtime third party app so not sure what the state of native support is but it works just fine for me, including over VPN
