Web developer, England.
I have to say,
@coolify.io
is excellent. It's exactly what I've spent years looking for as a way to host my stuff. So far, it's handled almost everything I've thrown at it with barely any drama.

Spent today at Silverstone which has its own mad climate. As always, I got soaked, wind blasted, frostbitten and sunburnt all at the same time. Love that place.

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded. These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.

How long do we have to endure these terrible TikTok subtitles on videos before we accept they're shite, and return to normal subtitles which allow you to read and watch the video at the same time?

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

If you’re using an AI for coding that uses cloud models (eg, Cursor, Claude Code), what’s to stop it from reading your .env file and sending it to the LLM provider?

One thing that’s probably bad is that, between the transit nature of information on the internet and the the rise of AI, it’s probably going to get a lot harder to actually verify things from the past. Which, is basically the opposite of what the information superhighway promised.

We built 20th-century democracies on the assumption that truth could be verified, public discourse could be deliberated, and those in power could be held accountable. But the system those assumptions relied on, gatekeepers, shared facts, institutional trust, are in decline, and deservedly so.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.
