Microsoft forced me to switch to Apple AND Linux.


This looks so useful.


Why Meta and not OAI/Anthropic or Google? Is this their attempt after llama4?


Headline seems overstated.


From the article:

“He may be sentenced to die in prison in connection with his efforts promoting liberty in China.”

Martyr doesn’t sound like overstatement if that happens.


It seems accurate and unsensational here

I think perhaps we've lionized the term martyr to mean too many things, but his actions seem in line with the dictionary definition


This man will spend the rest of his (possibly short?) life in prison for the crime of publishing ideas that the government didn't like. He chose to stay in hong kong defending the principles that mattered to him instead of abandoning his principles and fleeing to the UK, which was on option entirely open to him.

Explain why you think it's overstated.


Jimmy Lai is more courageous and principled than anyone you've probably ever met in your life. He'll die in prison for his belief that speech should be free in Hong Kong.


I will not called Jimmy Lai as principled based on how he run his news outlet. You can just simply check on wikipedia his reputationa and his news outlet reputation. This is one from Jimmy Lai https://hongkongfp.com/2020/11/02/explainer-apple-dailys-jim...


Appeals to emotions won't get you anywhere. What else is next, "We NEED to reelect Trump to restore Christendom in the West!!!"?


It isn't an appeal to emotion. Jimmy Lai stood up for free speech in Hong Kong, factually and it paying with his life. I'm simply pointing out that you have probably never seen real courage or conviction in your life and aren't in a good position to judge Jimmy Lai.

Your whole posting history is just inflammatory claims that you rarely stand behind. I keep bumping into you doing this, it's a bad look.


strongbox is a reasonable app for iOS and you can set it up for sftp to your main self hosted server.


Unfortunately strongbox was sold a few months ago to a somewhat notorious app firm that has the nasty habit of buying popular apps and adding a whole bunch of telemetry. Not something I'd want in a password app.

I've switched to KeePassium. Not quite as polished UX, but works for me


I'm using KeePassium and SyncTrain for the syncthing integration on iOS.

SyncTrain has been working well, but all the knobs in the advanced folder settings definitely reminds me that I would never recommend it over Dropbox/iCloud/etc to almost anyone, heh.

But as long as I don't run into frequent problems, I like the idea of p2p device syncing over LAN. The phone in my pocket ends up passing around the latest copy since my other devices are almost never on at the same time. It's kinda cute.


> Not quite as polished UX

Huh, this is interesting… If you have any specific UX pain points, feel free to reach out.


This looks exciting. I hope they add this to Windsurf soon.


it looks like its already there


It’s stupid… like just have a registry of models and let people automatically use them. It’s silly to wait for manual whitelisting each time for every app


It was there a few (<5? I think?) minutes after the Anthropic post went out. If you look at Windsurf's web traffic it looks like they did a thing (model is an int) to make it so the IDE doesn't need to update to get new models.


I agree, I use Windsurf for personal projects and I think the pricing model is a bit better than what a professional dev would be using on cursor or something like that.


Is this even true for such a sensitive subject like email where there are insane blacklists/whitelists everywhere in which you are forced to use a middleman either way so your emails enter someone's inbox?


What would be the downsides of running this as a self hosted instance because i would imagine github would not take kindly to this usecase?


GitHub wouldn't care for the most part, because they have solid rate limits in place that would foil your plan to use this for a production app immediately.


you have to feed it multiple arguments with rate limiting and long wait times. i am not sure if there have been recent updates other than the js interpreter but ive had to spin up a docker instance of a browser to feed it session cookies as well.


Yeah we had to roll through a bunch of proxy servers on top of all the other tricks you mentioned to reliably download at a decent pace


What are your thoughts on the load scrapers are putting on website operators?


What are your thoughts on the load website operators are putting on themselves to block scrapers?


Maybe for hobbyists it's more of practicing how to play around with embedded systems? Over a decade ago I sorta got burned by Odroid dropping support for one of their early units despite being much faster than the 2Bs that were selling at the time (plus the annoying cost of emmcs or whatever), so I absolutely agree with your point.
