It's a great model. We get the benefit of low prices, they get sustaining revenue that allows us to get those low prices.

Because some things only work in Chrome. It's a fact. It's terrible.

We're the frogs being boiled, over the last decade. People sounded the alarms, but they were looked at like they had tin foil on their heads. Now, it's clear they were right.

I'm speaking generally, of course. I use Firefox for all my personal stuff, except for those situations where it doesn't work.


>> Because some things only work in Chrome.

What things? Looks like an urban myth.


I'm aware of a few things, myself:

1) Google properties

1a) Chromecast

2) a few web-based games that were really pushing the envelope on web APIs and didn't bother testing on Firefox

3) WebUSB, commonly used for some things like keyboard customization apps


A lot of IT now curates the extensions for the browsers and doesn't allow extensions not on the whitelist and then they basically just only do that work on Chrome and disable Firefox. It's kinda self defeating in the long run imo but that's the problem in the industry.

Chrome likes to make up new "standards" and then some websites adopt them immediately.

That said, I can only remember two instances of that slightly inconveniencing me in the past, and both times I was inconvenienced by a Google-run website: once upon a time Google Earth refused to work, and once upon a time I couldn't tweak my Google Meet background. Both are no longer the case.


Jane Fonda was his last spouse. I hope he left it to her. She's a very cool lady with a great head on her shoulders. A recent interview (The Interview, NYT) is worth listening to. She talked very positive about Ted in this interview, which made me think they had a good relationship still.

She had a terrible influence against nuclear energy which retarded the industry by five decades!

We would not be in the pickle we are if she didn’t mindlessly scare and misinform people undermining a whole industry based on her misunderstanding.


I agree she had a negative impact on nuclear, but I don't think it was just her.

>She's a very cool lady with a great head on her shoulders.

Made me spit out my coffee. Hanoi Jane Fonda isn't very cool, and does not have a great head on her shoulders.


I should have said the "Jane Fonda of today"... everyone does dumb things and I didn't agree with everything she did when young. Recent interviews have shown a lot of maturity.

I'll go down that road with you. I agree with Jane on a great many issues, I'm sure. I certainly don't dislike her for her overall political leanings. And yet, I can't look at her without thinking about what she did in Vietnam.

The idea that she passed POW secrets to their captors has been debunked to my satisfaction. But the other stuff she did, calling our POWs liars and touring to support the army we were fighting, is beyond the pale.

Like, you can say we shouldn't be attacking Iran and I won't argue against you. But if you actually went to Iran in support of their soldiers and armies over ours, except maybe as a journalist who documents bad stuff you discover us doing, then I'm going to invite you to stay there.


How do you feel about Americans who go serve in the IDF, and avoid serving in the US military, and then come back to the US?

Indifferent. We're not at war against the IDF. Go and join the French Foreign Legion for all I care, so long as they're not fighting American forces.

That's a bit of a weird position to take. You seem to put "American forces" in a special bucket where, even if the actions the US military are taking is wrong, the support and reputation of "American forces" should still be protected at all costs, and the people they're doing wrong things to don't get to have any support.

Let's imagine an alternate universe where Russia didn't invade Ukraine. There were rumors that they were considering it, though, and Europe was not feeling particularly secure, afraid that Russia would not stop with Ukraine. This Ukraine is, like in our universe, nominally an ally of the West, though not the closest of terms. Poland, a US ally and NATO member, afraid that Russia would invade Ukraine and use it as a forward base to attack Poland, decides to preemptively invade Ukraine in order to establish its own forward base, a buffer zone.

I think many people in the US, myself (half Polish from my mom's side) included, would think this was a horrible thing for Poland to do. A bunch of us decide we're going to support Ukraine, protest on their behalf, and donate to their cause. Would you object to that? If not, then that's hypocritical. If so, that's... not a great look for you either.


> You seem to put "American forces" in a special bucket where,

I'm a vet. My default setting is to support American troops unless they're shown to be acting wrongly.

> even if the actions the US military are taking is wrong,

That's a bizarre little strawman. No. I can support the soldiers, sailors, and airmen while believing their leadership is wrong. By civilian analogy, I support the employees of HHS even if I think their boss is an idiot.

> the support and reputation of "American forces" should still be protected at all costs, and the people they're doing wrong things to don't get to have any support.

Your words, not mine. I don't feel that way. American leadership orders all kinds of jackassery. The people doing their jobs, presuming they're not committing war crimes (sorry if that was going to be your next gotcha), have my support. I've not heard any accusations that the POWs Fonda "visited", as though Hanoi Hilton was a zoo and they were wildlife on display, were legitimately war criminals. If they were, I would not support them. I for damn sure would not have supported the North Vietnamese government against our own solders, though. If our guys were in the wrong, it would be perfectly possible to prosecute both sets of people.

> Let's imagine an alternate universe

Let me stop you right there. We don't have to invent increasingly contrived scenarios to debate the core case: is it OK to provide aid and comfort to the enemy? It's not. It doesn't mean you have to automatically say your own military is flawless, either. But in the common case, I'm vastly more likely to support the general actions of the US military over those of the People's Army of Vietnam. I don't think that's an especially hot take.


Replying to myself: indifferent in the context of Americans committing what I consider to be traitorous acts against Americans. If you go join the IDF and shoot your way through Gaza, I'm going to think you're a POS. But I think you'll be a different kind of POS than Fonda was in Vietnam, which is the discussion at hand here.

She was early, consistent, vocal, brave, and in the light of history morally right in her opposition to the Vietnam War.

> early, consistent, vocal, brave, and in the light of history morally right in his opposition to [political taegets]

You just described Hitler. Hanoi Jane Fonda is repugnant in her support of the Viet Cong.


Whoa there. The US being wrong to make war in Vietnam absolutely does not vindicate those who supported the Viet Cong!

position is one thing. implementation of that position is another.

Maybe, but her posing in North Vietnamese anti-aircraft guns was pretty despicable, not brave. Nepo baby PR stunt or not.

The war was despicable. The napalming of children was despicable. The mass rape and murder of children and women at My Lai was despicable.

What she did was not that.


Massacre at Hue as despicable. The mass rape and murder of children and women at Saigon was despicable.

What Hanoi Jane Fonda did was that.


> When called out, he would result to personal attacks.

Oh, that's bad. Sounds like a terribly toxic environment.


So pne step towards the Neuromancer universe.

Speaking of that, sometimes I touch the card I want and it doesn't select it. I go through this dance of touch, wait, touch, wait, repeat. Insane.

Our main repo has git history back to 1985. RCS to CVS to git. Each step was lossless. I don’t remember the exact tool, but the CVS to git step was a fantastic Ruby program. It was incremental and each night I had a cron job that would update a checked out copy of the sources on the git side and diff with a copy from CVS. After 6 months I had confidence and the training of everyone was complete and we switched over.

I remember when port knocking was discussed here on HN many years ago it was shit upon because people said security through obscurity is bad. What really frustrated me, at the time and still (when people shit on it), is that it's not just obscurity, it's also security. Port scans see nothing, but just knowing the port doesn't give you anything. You still need a password or key.

The "new gen" link you says

> Built-in Newest Marvell chip, Max. Power Consumption 1.65W

Is that wrong?

Also, I'm using this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3F5DSXJ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_...

which says

> Build in Marvell chip, Low Power Consumption (2.0W MAX @ 30m)

I have had 0 problems. One I use for my Sonic.net Ont and the other for my a 10G switch. Maybe I don't have issues because the cable lengths are so short (1-2')?

I just checked and both are VERY hot to the touch. Now I'm worried.


Oh, looks like Marvel came out with one too. I assume it'll work fine.

Why would this be preferred over the Tailscale macOS app? What are the advantages of this method?

Thanks.


The macOS app manages the host Tailscale service, while this example demonstrates how to connect with a *macOS container* using Tailscale SSH based on the Tailscale service under userspace networking mode. This gives the container its own dedicated Tailnet IP and identity without needing to port-forward through the host.

edit: For example, I can create a container on my MacBook to run an application. A colleague *in my Tailnet* can then connect to this container to interact with that application from a coffeeshop or airliner while not exposing the rest of my MacBook.


Thanks for the answer. I understand now.
