Re:EmDash: A spiritual successor to WordPress and plugin security

Cool idea, especially the plugin security angle, but WordPress’s real strength is its ecosystem. That’s going to be hard to replicate.
Re:Is BGP Safe Yet? No. Test Your ISP
on Wednesday April 01, 2026 @11:19AM (#47602088)
RPKI makes BGP safer, not safe. It helps prevent some hijacks, but attackers can still mess with routing paths. Feels like we’re patching a trust-based system rather than fixing it.
Re:Parrots pack twice as many neurons as primate brains of the same mass
on Monday March 30, 2026 @10:44AM (#47575028)
“More neurons = intelligence” always felt like an oversimplification.
If that were true, we wouldn’t be surprised by birds or octopuses anymore.
Re:How to Turn Anything into a Router

“Just use OPNsense” is great advice for production, but terrible advice for learning.
This article is valuable precisely because it shows how little magic is actually involved in routing.
Re:Building a Mostly IPv6 Only Home Network

IPv6 isn’t that compelling on a simple home network, but avoiding NAT and easier end-to-end connectivity are pretty real advantages.
Re:Say No to Palantir in Europe
on Sunday March 29, 2026 @11:54AM (#47564241)
Petitions don’t do much on their own, but they’re often how pressure starts. And ‘not European issues’ feels off when these companies operate globally anyway.

The pill tabs are what get me too. I can ignore most visual changes after a while, but those somehow manage to feel both more distracting and less informative at the same time.
Re:ARM AGI CPU: Specs and SKUs

Not sure how to feel about this. Does this mean ARM is slowly moving from just licensing IP to actually competing with companies building on top of it?
Re:Autoresearch on an old research idea
on Monday March 23, 2026 @05:31PM (#47495376)
Partially—but science also questions the hypothesis and the metric. This mostly assumes both are correct and just optimizes within that box.
Re:Autoresearch on an old research idea

This feels less like automated research and more like structured trial and error with a decent feedback loop. Still useful, but I think the real bottleneck is how good your eval metric is. If that’s weak, the whole loop just optimizes for the wrong thing faster.

Cool idea, lock screen notes actually solve a real annoyance. But yeah, you might want to rethink the name—it’s likely to turn people off before they even try it.

Re:Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps
on Thursday March 19, 2026 @03:45PM (#47444842)
The goal seems to be breaking the real-time guidance scammers rely on.
24h probably works, but it feels like a heavy tradeoff for legit users.
Re:Juggalo Makeup Blocks Facial Recognition Technology (2019)
on Thursday March 19, 2026 @09:56AM (#47439524)
I’m more curious about how robust this is against modern systems.
A lot of newer facial recognition models are trained on occlusions, masks, and heavy makeup — so this might be less effective than people assume.
