You’re confusing iOS, where you are in a walled garden, with macOS, where you can just do whatever the hell you want (There’s a recovery partition you can boot to where you can disable just about every bit of security that’s not hardware much like booting to grub in Linux)

There’s always DNS over HTTPS. It’s really hard to nab that shit out if it’s going upstream to the same server that’s hosting the content.

The government has literally prevented cars that prevent you from blinding another car on the road from coming to the US market. Cars come in with active LED arrays and they have to be disabled to sell in the US.

I’m a fairly happy employee and I want to unionize.

I remember working through the Great Recession and I never want to take a 7 year pay cut again.

Had Japan not surrendered, we had another nuke en route (The demon core was around already, we just had to slap it into the mechanism), and could have had a fourth reasonably quickly. (We had processed a huge chunk of the fuel for the fourth pit before we dropped our first bomb) It was just after that where the US couldn’t just keep setting them off because the timescales to generate the plutonium was measured in several weeks.

Last Podcast on the Left did a decent, though immensely gory, series on the Manhattan Project recently.

I’m expecting that JSON parsing is a huge overhead with the fediverse. I work on a SAAS that needs to do all its internal processing in under 10 ms, and serializing/deserializing ends up being a sizable chunk of server time. I saw a 40% reduction in runtime using simdjson for deserializing, and there exists a rust crate for it, but I haven’t had time to look the Lenny code over.

Can anyone with an overloaded instance get on their command line and gather a decent flamegraph so the performance folks can aim optimizations in the right direction?

At least you have the self awareness that you are a selfish asshole, so that’s something I guess?
