Amazing what kind of advanced management you can get in a $130 WiFi Router today. It wasn't long ago that home users basically had zero idea why their WiFi was slow, just sort of set it up and pray.

They also have Private Access Tokens: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=huqjyh7k
Which I guess is what iCloud private relay solves. But only if you pay.

They specifically mention targeting 1-7B models and that this means fine tuned hyper specific models, not general purpose.
Re:HTTP Caching, a Refresher on Wednesday December 24, 2025 @02:18AM (#46373256)
At one point with http only your isp could do its own cache, large corporate it networks could have a cache, etc. which was very efficient for caching. But horrible for privacy. Now we have CDN edge caching etc but nothing like the multi layer caching that was available with http.
Re:Kubernetes Is Your Private Cloud on Wednesday November 12, 2025 @11:04PM (#45910484)
The thing with OpenShift (https://github.com/okd-project/okd) is you can set it up, and then run basically one command (oc new-app .) to push almost any app to Kubernetes. All bells and whistles included.
Re:Apple Introduced Digital ID in Apple Wallet on Wednesday November 12, 2025 @03:11PM (#45905783)
We don't have a national ID here in the US. Passports can be quite expensive. Local state ID cards don't prove citizenship.

To set this up, you have to scan the chip on your passport. Its essentially the same data on both chips, one is just in my phone's enclave and the other is in an embedded NFC chip.

How does this apply to a digital version of an official government ID? The government already has all this data.
Re:Kubernetes Is Your Private Cloud on Wednesday November 12, 2025 @12:23PM (#45902871)
As someone who self hosted bare metal Kubernetes on my own rack, it's a lot of work to get it set up. We used RedHat Openshift which has a pretty good solution out of the box, but the learning curve was relatively high.

That being said, once it was set up, there was not a lot of maintenance. Kubernetes is quire resilient when set up properly, and the cost savings were significant.

Accessibility -> Display -> Reduce Transparency?
A lot of web frameworks etc do most of the instrumentation for you these days. For instance using opentelemetry-js and self hosting something like https://signoz.io should take less than an hour to get spun up and you get a ton of data without writing any custom code.
You can just send metrics via JSON to any otlphttp collector: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-proto/blob/v...

There is a Bluetooth part of the spec too. If your phone can’t talk to your computer via Bluetooth it won’t work.
American actually has the largest freight rail network in the world. In theory electric trucks would pair great with our freight rail network though. Still need to get from rail to stores and homes
