Thought the 80GB was a bit odd, and noticed the picture of a SoC + a M.2 module:

- CIX P1/CD8180 + 32 GB RAM with 30 TOPS integrated NPU

- Houmo M50 + 48 GB RAM with 160 TOPS INT8

Anyone know more?

I read it as they'll invoice me up to $20. Not sure?

Did you have extra usage enabled before checking? Mine was disabled and I received the $20 credit.

TBH, it looks to me as a trick to enable extra usage by baiting me with $20 credit by toggling on the feature that lets me burn another $20 without realizing it.

Toggling it again to turn it off immediately after (which I assume most people will miss) seems to guard against this.

I believe Android Work profile[0] would have limited the damage to the work profile rather than also impact the personal profile on a personal device.

Does anyone know if this is correct?

Traditionally, I used Python for personal tools optimizing for quick coding and easy maintenance. These tools commonly feed UI elements like waybar, shell, and tmux, requiring frequent, fast calls.

My approach is evolving due to NixOS and home-manager with vibe coding to do the lifting. I increasing lean on vibe coding to handle simple details to safely write shell scripts (escaping strings, fml) and C/C++ apps. The complexity is minimized, allowing me to almost one-shot small utilities, and Nix handles long-term maintenance.

With NixOS, a simple C/C++ application can often replace a Python one. Nix manages reading the source, pulling dependencies, and effectively eliminating the overhead that used to favor scripting languages while marking marginal power savings during everyday use.

`HOSTALIASES` lets you alias hostnames, but not map hostnames to IPs.

You can use the linker to preload `nss_wrapper`[0] and overwrite anything using `nss`.

Here's an example:

  > cat hosts

Here's a good YouTube overview from the developer

This looks like a great project!

From my experience, many (bad) websites consider "+" an invalid character and prevent you from using the address in this form.

Smart spammers can just strip the service name since it works the same for all Gmail users.

Really need dedicated addresses like Fastmail's Masked Addresses.

Closed User Group (CUG)?

Never heard of aws-lc before this, but now I'm looking for an excuse to use it.
