Today we're leaving X. If you're still there, we think you should consider leaving too.

A word here on:
1. why it is so difficult to leave collapsing platforms;
2. why we're making this decision today;
3. where else you can find us.

Mozilla fragt: »What do you want to see from Mozilla in the future?«

Ganz einfach: einen Browser mit maximalen Sicherheits- und Datenschutzstandards. Ohne Tracking, ohne Datensammelei, ohne »wir machen das für die Finanzierung«-Ausreden. Ein Browser, der Nutzer konsequent schützt, transparent erklärt, was passiert, und sich wieder klar auf die ursprüngliche Mission besinnt: ein offenes Web, in dem der Mensch im Mittelpunkt steht – nicht Werbenetzwerke, Datenbroker und Profiling.

Und bitte: kein KI-Kram im Browser. Keine Zwangs-Features, keine Assistenten, die Daten abgreifen, keine »smarten« Experimente.

Danke!

I can't help but notice they did a staged rollout (great!) for a DNS related change that went up to 100% in less than 24 hours (???). Seems a bit optimistic to me given how high TTLs can be?

Reading their explanation I can't help but feel that maybe the behaviour the Cisco switches rely on should have been standardized, so it puts the extra work on the server once instead of complicate every client.

Of course, the Cisco switches *crashing* instead of failing resolving is absurd.

Consejo cafetero: me regalaron una cafetera express (DeLonghi Dedica Style). Quiero comprar un molinillo de café, pero al quien me hizo el regalo le dijeron que el molinillo tenía que ser de la misma marca. No me tenía sentido y buscando un poco de información veo que hay molinillos de cuchillas de acero inoxidable y de muelas (de acero o de cerámica), y que las que aseguran una buena molienda y evita atascos en el de muelas.
¿Es así, hay tanta diferencia?

Ooo! Dave's Garage Youtube channel did avideo on setting up OPNSense as a transparent filter bridge! So, that means enterprise-grade IDS and IPS, but with none of the potential network renumbering, port forwarding remapping. Basically entirely rebuilding your network from a logical perspective is no longer necessary. Simply obtain hardware with two NICs, plug one end into ISP modem, other end into WAN port on your existing router, configure as specified, and you have transparent filtering, intrusion detection, and protection, and whatever your router was doing prior to the introduction of OPNSense still happens, and no one and nothing knows about OPNSense, accept of course, until and when something looks like it should be working, but in actual fact doesn't. Of course, you'll have to reprogram your mind to always check the IDS/IPS log to see what it has done to the traffic. But if you've got rules in place to deny said traffic for whatever reason, it most certainly will be done, directly out of the modem WAN port. It won't make it to your router's WAN port, and it most certainly won't make it close to anywhere that can be fooled by spoofing and other such techniques to create an "I'm your friend" IP address and thus be allowed into everything.

I think my opinion on vibe coding shifts again:
I dislike people who just throw promts at the AI without any significant knowledge about what they're doing/the codebase they're producing, and just let the AI do everything waiting what it might come up with.
But with so many things, if it's in the right hands it can actually be a quite good thing, in this case a productivity booster. Of course I can't comment on the code quallity itself at the moment. But I guess as long as you can fix up and understand stuff with out the AI in between you and the code, heck that's just what coding is going to be in the future I guess. Gotta get used to it.
