An interesting side effect is that the models coming out of China are very efficient. They don't have access to all the high-end hardware the US has, so they have to make do with what they've got.

If you see bad translations in open-source projects, please help by fixing them :)

It's a straightforward way to contribute to open-source, even if you know nothing about coding, and it helps a lot. It's hard for open source projects to find good translators.

The other thing that really helps is improving documentation. Developers hate writing docs :)

They no longer sell or include AP

That's true only in the USA and Canada. You can still get autopilot in most of the world, especially in countries where FSD isn't approved.

The end goal is to have no reliance on tailscale as i am preparing for the eventual enshitification.

Tailscale is mostly open-source. If they do anything bad then someone could fork the project. The coordination server isn't open-source, but you could self-host Headscale as a replacement.

If it still doesn't suit your use cases, there's some alternatives.

I personally wouldn't directly deal with iptables or nftables rules, and instead use some other software to deal with that.

iptables is deprecated... If you really do want to do your own custom thing you should learn nftables.

Alaska, California, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington state all have the same minimum wage for both tipped and non-tipped jobs.

A few other states have a tipped minimum wage that's lower than their regular minimum wage, but still higher than the $2.13/hr federal minimum.

I'm from Australia and we very rarely tip. It's just not part of the culture. It was one of the biggest changes when I moved to the USA.

businesses not paying their employees enough to make a living.

The thing I don't understand is that even in states that have better minimum wages, the same tips are still expected.

California has the same minimum wage for both tipped and non-tipped jobs, yet one person working a minimum wage job can be paid significantly more than someone else also working a minimum wage job, just because they work in a position that's customarily tipped.

Only 5.5% of internet users are American. Don't assume everyone follows US customs. Some countries actually pay waitstaff well.

npm is finally going to disable postinstall scripts by default in the next major version at least, copying what other JS package managers like pnpm do. They also added a setting for minimum age (only install package versions that are at least X days old) which is meant to help too - the idea being that malware will have been detected and removed before anyone installs it.

People use third-party Linux package repos all the time though, and they have similar attack vectors. If I can convince you to add my Debian/RPM/whatever repo, I can create a package with the same name as a common one but with a newer version number, and apt upgrade will happily replace the official package with my malicious one.

This is intentional for several reasons (e.g. deb.sury.org has PHP packages that replace the official Debian ones) but I'm really surprised we don't see more supply chain attacks via third party deb/rpm repos.

Maybe it's because the barrier to entry is higher? With a custom deb repo (either self-hosted or using something like Packagecloud or Ubuntu PPA), you need to create the repo, create Debian packages, add them to the repo (eg using Aptly), GPG sign the repo, and convince people to add the repo. npm is just one repo with everything in it.

$10/mo to use my own modem

lolwut

Sounds like a way to hide the full price of the internet plan. Restaurants do this in some big cities like in San Francisco... They add junk fees like "5% employee health care mandate" rather than just increasing the menu prices.

Oh no. Not sure I want to look up what he did.
