No update for a year for something that opens weird files from the internet is a little scary, even just dependency changes. Not that 7-zip was ever any better at that.

I wish I knew hardware better but I'm coming to the idea that an xTB nvme and ~25gb/s PoE pcie card in my gaming PC would be a sic always on device. Lots of server roles really just need a tiny IoT device but storage/backup/media you're talking NAS and I just don't want a big NAS around all the time.

So an always on network storage in my PC that's sometimes-on. Between NVME-of and pcie that should be doable I would have though. PoE from my router that's got a tiny UPS and that's pretty sick.

Maybe Valve should make it so everyone with a gaming pc it's re-downloading their steam library or running 2 computers just to open a file.

Yeh it's awful, but all of our CCTV was wired like this through patch panels with 24v/48v power injectors. 2 cameras a cable. So that's what I needed to document, because in reality I can't book scaffolding and change rooftop cameras for a documentation tool.

I've always had stuff like this turned down by Netbox, they argue they want to model the logical topology as a source to trust, not the physicality, but then they model rack U placement. I'm always puzzled by their stance.

Like you can't model 1 cat5 split into two 100mb terminations, patch panels are kinda of hack, I think you can now but forever you couldn't just swap a termination direction because logically why would you (but their UI gets messy when 44 are done A-B and the 45th B-A)

Anyway that's thoughts as of maybe v2 or 3? Before the new UI when it was all jquery.

These aren't good because for 0-lists you have an empty parent containers so often you have a wrapping if outside all of that. More generally, template logic indent doubles up inside the indent levels of the template markup and I just find it ugly.

I like vue a lot more;

    <ul v-if={users}>
      <li v-for={some in users}>{some.name}
    </ul>

In my completely uninformed opinion I think China is taking their toys and going home.

The UK gov stepped in to stop a Chinese firm closing our steel mill. Capitalism wasn't made to handle large strategic foreign investments closing their own company at nationally inopportune moments.

It feels like a slow burn of embrace, extend, extinguish but playing out on global critical technology and industry.

We didn't get locking until npm v5 (some memory and googling, could be wrong.) And it took a long time to do everything you'd think you want.

Changing the main command `npm install` after 7 years isn't really "stable". Anyway didn't this replace versions, so locking won't have helped either?

vscode came along with a thriving extension ecosystem. That made up for any pitfalls really.

But it became a general purpose programming language pretty early, right?

IMO what we've seen learnt from ChromeOS and later their stab at firefox OS is the merit in treating the browser as the system. For that there was a lot of wisdom in making rust that capable. Seeing oxide make their stack is incredibly validating.

I just think £360 for an IP camera is too steep, half would be a no brainier over ring. Their new Lite switches replace stuff that was rack-mountable, not there's no ears are far as I can tell.

The gateways are awesome value.
