Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

Sure. I'm not sure if I will actually publish this thing, but I can show you: https://x.com/mholt6/status/2074986102428139754

I wanted a phone app rather than yet another electronic device. Phones do not have great screens in bright sunlight, and they run hot, so it's not ideal for a bike computer in the first place. But I can't deny the convenience of the multipurpose tool that is my phone.

This app will have a few UI/UX modes. The default is the futuristic-looking HUD, but it has a low-power mode that's mostly monochrome on black, and an even lower-power "Cruise mode" that removes the map entirely and just shows you speed, approximate heading, and nav directions. Still very WIP and mostly for my own amusement!

Wonderful, glad it was helpful for you!

Of the 3 models I tried, Grok did the best at making an iOS app I wanted for personal use (a bike computer with specific qualities). (Claude just gave up and did an HTML/CSS implementation but I insisted on native SwiftUI+Metal.) Grok definitely fumbles sometimes, but I have been surprised what it CAN intuit versus me having to micromanage it.

(I am not an iOS developer, so getting something specific that I needed in a few hours/days was really helpful instead of spending months/years learning the language, APIs, etc.) (I am absolutely not "vibe-coding" Caddy btw, just tinkering with it for personal projects.)

Too many servers ignore/drop/reject body in GET requests. RFC 9110 does allow it, but is only recommended if server documentation states that it is supported.

Is it normal to load ALL the propellant when doing a static fire? (I presume that's the case, anyway, given the sheer magnitude of the kaboom.)

I know a WDR typically would, but I don't think they perform an ignition for those.

First I've heard of this. Lazyweb, why would I use this over sync.Once?

This page crashes in my Google-based browser. I can't scroll down more than ~50 pixels.

We get it.

We should probably take a break on these. It's probably more newsworthy now when GitHub is "up".

It was FUN though.

Using profanity indicates a weak vocabulary. A lack of discipline. A degree of unrefinement unbecoming of astronauts representing the "best" of humanity and their country.

Depending on the type of profanity it can divide societies by reinforcing social schisms/prejudices. Such words typically cluster around areas of cultural discomfort such as religion, sex, and hygiene, causing polarizing emotional reactions. It's biological as well as cultural.

Seems like the "best and bravest humanity has to offer" can probably represent a little better than that for one of the most significant feats of history.

Even better IMO is this status page: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/

"The Missing GitHub Status Page" with overall aggregate percentages. Currently at 90.84% over the last 90 days. It was at 90.00% a couple days ago.

Yeah but if you need Internet failover, cell phone towers are likely flooded. Starlink will be much more available (probably).

And yet, try getting a full backup of your Google phone onto your own computer. (Without rooting/wiping the whole thing.) Heck, try getting just your text messages off (without a separate app)!

You can't. (Last time I checked.) The backup is encrypted in the cloud, and the only way to download it is to restore it to a phone.

Whereas I can just plug in my iPhone and get a full backup, complete with sqlite manifest, completely accessible. Text messages, photo library, everything.

tbf that's Apple's fault, not the choice of the free, unpaid open source developer.

I never loved the idea of GSB or centralized blocklists in general due to the consequences of being wrong, or the implications for censorship.

So for my masters' thesis about 6-7 years ago now (sheesh) I proposed some alternative, privacy-preserving methods to help keep users safe with their web browsers: https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/7403/

I think Chrome adopted one or two of the ideas. Nowadays the methods might need to be updated especially in a world of LLMs, but regardless, my hope was/is that the industry will refine some of these approaches and ship them.

But does it automatically provision the DNS records and rotate the keys?

I'm actually kind of furious at nginx's marketing materials around ECH. They compare with other servers but completely ignore Caddy, saying that they're the only practical path to deploying ECH right now. Total lies: https://x.com/mholt6/status/2029219467482603717

Thanks for sharing this, we like it a lot. Mohammed Al-Sahaf implemented this for us so that releases can be made by a quorum of maintainers rather than being blocked by me every time.

Here's the first release done with it: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/releases/tag/v2.11.0-be...

And you can see the PR flow where the action happens: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/pull/7383

That is one beautiful instrument. What does the front look like?

And I know we can't hear it in its "original glory" anymore, but is the sample only like 10 seconds long because it's proprietary, or is the cello too delicate to play a full number on, or...?

Edit: Found the museum piece with full pictures: https://emuseum.nmmusd.org/objects/6684/violoncello?ctx=7735...

If you look at the R1 pages, you'll see those pages, though scroll-heavy, at least contain more useful info. I'm hoping that after R2 is actually available to order, that they'll update the page with more information. It's still early.

We can of course host our code elsewhere, the problem is the community is kind of locked-in. It would be very "expensive" to move, and would have to be very worthwhile. So far the math doesn't support that kind of change.

Usually an outage is not a big deal, I can still work locally. Today I just happen to be in a very GH-centric workflow with the security reports and such.

I'm curious how other maintainers maintain productivity during GH outages.

Of course they're down while I'm trying to address a "High severity" security bug in Caddy but all I'm getting is a unicorn when loading the report.

(Actually there's 3 I'm currently working, but 2 are patched already, still closing the feedback loop though.)

I have a 2-hour window right now that is toddler free. I'm worried that the outage will delay the feedback loop with the reporter(s) into tomorrow and ultimately delay the patches.

I can't complain though -- GitHub sustains most of my livelihood so I can provide for my family through its Sponsors program, and I'm not a paying customer. (And yet, paying would not prevent the outage.) Overall I'm very grateful for GitHub.

The autonomous vehicle should know what it can't know, like children coming out from behind obstructions. Humans have this intuitive sense. Apparently autonomous systems do not, and do not drive carefully, or slower, or give more space, in those situations. Does it know that it's in a school zone? (Hopefully.) Does it know that school is starting or getting out? (Probably not.) Should it? (Absolutely yes.)

This is the fault of the software and company implementing it.

I'm getting the same error, but ://gpu shows that WebGPU is "Hardware accelerated"

Hmm, I'm getting "Failed to request WebGPU adapter. No compatible adapter found. This may occur if no GPU is available or WebGPU is disabled." but brave://flags reports that WebGPU is "Hardware accelerated." Any way for me to try this out?

They are not in control of the US president.

LE has 2 primary production data centers: https://letsencrypt.status.io/

But in general, one of the points of ACME is to eliminate dependence on a single provider, and prevent vendor lock-in. ACME clients should ideally support multiple ACME CAs.

For example, Caddy defaults to both LE and ZeroSSL. Users can additionally configure other CAs like Google Trust Services.

This document discusses several failure modes to consider: https://github.com/https-dev/docs/blob/master/acme-ops.md#if...

It's less about IP address transience, and more about IP address control. Rarely does the operator of a website or service control the IP address. It's to limit the CA's risk.

We've supported it for about a year!

It works, but as another comment mentioned there may be quirks with IP certs, specifically IPv6, that I hope will be fixed by v2.11.

Don't rockets also start with the same horizontal velocity though, since nothing canceled it out when it got off the launch pad?

It would be like jumping, and finding yourself ~250-400 meters away from where you lept by the time you landed.

That said, neat project, and way fun learning experience. Good job.
