space debris, radiation and no maintenance. The buzzwords sure sound cool, but make absolutely no sense.

Crypto currencies consume more than entire countries. AI has at least good uses compared to that. I have yet to come across a single good use-case. It will never offset the damage that is has done and is currently still doing. But I am still looking. Web3 is going great... maybe it is time to reduce the energy consumption that is only doing harm.

We have been using it for our internal dev and test environment.

I was very disappointed that it did not have tcp/udp proxy support. Fortunately the plug-in system allowed us to extend this functionality in a day.

Dokku is very nice for this use-case. No need to have a complicated kubernetes setup.

npm gives you dependency hell in a medium sized project, with a node_modules folder 10 times larger than the project.

This on a OS level ... interesting

when you listen to him the linked podcast, you will understand why they went ahead after 2 weeks of no contact. He has an established tendency to do that.

Even in the podcast he mentions an (serious and lucrative) offer for his @markdown twitter account, instead of answering he actively chooses not to.

He mentions the ongoing discussion on HIS mailing list which he read has a opinion about, but chooses not to respond.

Using 6 as a prefix for ipv6 might be a bad idea.

The DNS Specification (RFC2181[1]) states:

The DNS itself places only one restriction on the particular labels that can be used to identify resource records. That one restriction relates to the length of the label and the full name. The length of any one label is limited to between 1 and 63 octets. A full domain name is limited to 255 octets (including the separators). The zero length full name is defined as representing the root of the DNS tree, and is typically written and displayed as ".". Those restrictions aside, __any binary string whatever can be used as the label of any resource record.__

Implementations of the DNS protocols must not place any restrictions on the labels that can be used. In particular, DNS servers must not refuse to serve a zone because it contains labels that might not be acceptable to some DNS client programs.

As an example these are all valid domains

   6.4424.cn, 6www.4424.cn, 6662.cn
But Separating the prefix and domain with a space would already fix the issue.

don't stress your fingers !

setInterval(function(){increment(food);increment(wood);increment(stone)},50);

I fell that they are doing it because of a growing threat from Linux as a Windows alternative.

With Valve pushing their Debian fork and more gaming support for Linux in the last time, Microsoft wan't to appeal to the Open Source community the reduce the "bashing" which ... which could actually loose some force behind it. Not that it could actually benefit Linux with better Mono support etc.
