The spec looks reasonable. I could see it replacing XWayland as a more modern and secure alternative for X11 apps not yet ported to Wayland.

The first AI story I read: sure.

After a few more? I felt a certain sameness to them.

Storing private chats forever by design. What could go wrong.

Flipping the default to make chats ephemeral by default would be a massive privacy win.

That pattern is also recommended in the book. Break down estimates into chunks of 5 hours or less.

With lots of smaller tasks, estimates tend to both be more accurate due to smaller scope, and some of the over/under inaccuracies will cancel out.

Read Software Estimation by Steve McConnell and recommend it to your manager:

The person doing the work the one best suited to estimate it.

Also, start tracking estimated vs budgeted time in some searchable system.

Next time this comes up, look up how long it actually took to complete a similar task instead of thoughts and prayers.

If boss won’t track historical budget vs actual, track it yourself.

Asahi Linux completely supports all the M1 Mini hardware.

But it does look the prices on these went back up because people use them for OpenClaw. 🙄

I run Asahi Fedora Linux on this hardware. It was a straightforward install and has been problem-free since.

It’s nice that some resources are being directed in this area, but it’s far from a total solution.

For example, the passport-saml Node module is popular and security related and is already fielding a number of AI-assisted security vulns.

Even when they are contributed by “security experts”, they still have to be carefully vetted to confirm they are correct and not themselves malicious.

While the patches may be good, it appears to be generating more unpaid volunteer labor for the maintainers.

Thankfully there some other fund’s trying to help out maintainers of critical open source projects.

 

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.

I have a Logitech C920 and am looking to upgrade. Something suitable for streaming.

Some annoyances with the Logitech: sometimes autofocus fails and poor reproduction of blacks. Ex: Lack of detail when a black cat is on screen.

I already have a nice mic-- the webcam doesn't need one.

 

I'm looking for a simple sendmail replacement to receive local mail, such as from cron and service failures and forward it to on to a real SMTP server.

I have used msmtpd successfully but thought I'd ask if folks have other solutions they like.
