Oh man, I even read all the comments and still couldn't find it when I finally clicked on the image link. Terrible UX.

cc: @apenwarr (tailscale founder), might want to have someone fix this and move the close button to the top right of the modal, not the bottom right.


(Alex from Tailscale here) I've sent this to the web team, we'll take a look first thing in the morning. Sorry y'all had to look at my ugly mug a bit longer than is ideal just now.


This is a more all-included and resilient system, especially for logging, than just opening a VPN port. I do a lot of corporate installs, and if we had a system like Tailscale then I would be in heaven. The amount of user-created systems are heinous in regards to security, and hard to setup and keep running. Tailscale lets you setup quickly, and reliably with minimal errors OOTB.

If you feel that tailscale will fold, or the free plan will be future limited, then you can drop in headscale which is a near 1:1 API open source tailscale central server.

If you always want to be open source and not rely on API changes or staying up to green on the headscale development (made by a third party), then you can set up netbird, which is both hosted (for free) as an alternative to Tailscale more tailored for developers, but they also open-sourced their entire stack, so you can always leave and use that on your own servers.


> Last time I used zed for go development it spawned nodejs servers (downloaded without asking for permission!) for god knows what.

LSPs, they are snagging the LSPs made by other developers for languages you are using. if you install any LSP or language support in VSCode its running the same thing. It only installs when you are using a language that has default support such as Rust, Python (which I believe uses a Node.js LSP), Go (same as Python), etc.


So basically there is no getting away from javascript runtime. So why should I use zed instead of vscode then?


Latency, FPS, efficiency. The LSPs while beefy, are not part of the overall efficiency and are used as sub processes, so if they fail or are sluggish, they won't affect how the editor runs, if you don't want to use LSPs, then you can go ahead and disable those.

Zed is one of the few editors, that like Sublime, are really focused on efficiency, using minimal resources (when needed) and the latency and FPS of the editor is bounds better than VS Code. It just works, better.


Ladybird is in the process of switching over to Swift, and has been for a little over a year now.

Not linking to the pedophilic nazi-site, and as Nitter is dead-ish, here is the full-text announcement archived on tildes: https://tildes.net/~comp/1j7m/ladybird_chooses_swift_as_its_...


Still logging in on occasion in Midnight Sun, I am on the younger side (breaching my thirties soon) and my mother played introduced me at a very young age to play alongside her and to help guide and teach the game (and spelling, and critical thinking, and the digital world) that she had played years before I was born. Many of her longest friends that she still talks with daily she met through MS2 and the various other MUDs such as Aardwolf.

MUDs are truly wonderful, and I hope they have a resurgence in some form soon.

MS2 has a great Mudlet UI too, one of the best early ones!


They are definitely going to call the next Windows version "Windows Copilot" or just.... Microsoft Copilot, just to make everything more confusing.


Zed is basically the new Sublime.


Sublime is the new Sublime. It's still just as great as it ever was.


Did this article just slyly try to say that COVID-19 was a hoax and tie it to "communism coercion tactics" (which was more a thing designed by the US as a tactic against Americans campaigning for equal rights, during the cold war than anything).

Immediately lost any interest in the narrative.


Oil. It's always oil.


To be fair, without the HL3 memes, would Valve ever become as massive as they are now without them constantly teasing and playing into it?

(answer: probably, but I would like to believe that this is one of the greatest unintended marketing tactics of the 21st century).


Valve had near-total dominance over PC gaming distribution before HL3 even became a meme.


half life releases were tied to new platforms, such as HL2 and its physics engine, or HL Alex and VR kits.

it's like Nintendo having a Mario game for their new hardware, e.g. Mario 64, etc.

there weren't that many teases, nor is it great marketing; CS:GO competitive e-sports is better marketed and probably made Valve more money than any HL wink-wink-nudge-nudge ever would.
