I've been trying to update my (noble 24.04) server and an apt update is not showing the 8.5.12. It looks like the binary has been built but not updated in the index http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu/dists/noble/Relea... (last update 14 yet. https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/+build/338... suggests it finished at ~ 17:00 UTC

Though quite possibly I'm missing something ;)

---------------

edit: as I was typing the index was updated. So, as far as I can tell only just now (18:20 UTC) was it available for updating!

"Tbf, it's worth pointing that many large legacy systems already work like that (sort of), with "Claude" replaced by "whoever happens to be maintaining it this year".

The real difference as I see it is that in the human maintained old style system, the human would take things slowly and ensure they understand any changes. Claude let loose will just say "yes, I know how to do this" and bork the system, because it doesn't have a concept of humbleness in the face of complexity!

What did you end up doing? Doing something with a bunch of like minded folks is the dream (as long as you can pay the bills!)

How are you sharing tailscale with your family and friends? do you run the server yourself?

P.s. loving the recommendation! Thanks!

Thanks for that. Dune used to be my favourite sci-fi, but, The Expanse maybe trumps that now. I'll definitely check these out once I finish The Long Earth :)

It's not clear to me: do we need to both apply the patch _and_ check if our themes are vulnerable, or just apply the patch?

Edit: looking at the patch itself it looks like it fixes the root cause and so it shouldn't matter what themes are doing themselves. But possibly I'm reading it incorrectly.

I'm sure this is a basic question I should already understand, but, what is actually in it for the bot farm? They spend your money (annoying), but, does Google actually pay them somehow? I don't get what they are "farming"

I've been helping to run a meetup in Christchurch, New Zealand: https://christchurch.ruby.nz/ for about 10 years (maybe longer, I've lost track!). I _completed_ agree with the article that the best thing you can do to avoid burnout is to organise it with someone else (or better still, two or more others like we do).

The other thing which really worked for us: We were getting fed up trying to badger people to help give talks etc (or just doing it ourselves). Completely exhausting. Ended up saying to the community: "this is your meetup, we just help run it. If we don't get 11 speakers for the year we're going to shut it down". We asked in January, got 11 speakers for the year (Dec is social), and we've been doing it like that ever since. Works an absolute treat. You do need to be prepared for no one to step up, in which case, it's sad, but, shut it down. You're not the community, the community is the community!

Yeah, this collection is _awesome_. I'm currently enjoying the Towers (just do it on 5x5 simple, and find it quite relaxing!).

I haven't looked into it thoroughly yet, but, at some point it'll be worth looking at getting a static IP address and using Cloudflare tunnels to serve toyish projects from your home netwerk. Just need to work out how to firewall it properly from the rest of the home network.

Can you point to an article on how to do this? This sounds _amazing_

So you have an article you can point to?

Yip interesting, you're the second person in a week who has suggested the magnesium. I frankly never trust these suggestions of supplements (having tried some before), but, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12412596/ at least suggested it was a modest improvement. I'm going to give it a try at least.

I've tried a CPAP machine for 6 weeks and felt no different and gave up. I think I was a 6 on the scale. I wish it had worked though!

Currently I've just given up and embracing feeling relatively tired all the time. I've tried side sleeping devices (woody knows backpack) mandibular advancement splints etc.

So hard to tell (I find anyway) to get to a definitive answer

This article really captures what I'm feeling about the entire AI jobs landscape. What the heck happens when we don't have juniors for years?

There's gonna be trouble ahead (unless you truly believe AI will be able to completely replace all programming of course)

"It’s my website: I can do what I want with it. "

Right on! It's so liberating having your own wee corner of the internet.

What a bad situation, and I genuinely feel for them. I do think they blamed a lot of other people and I think a section on what lessons they have learned themselves might be a good idea/look.

At minimum you want to have off site backups, preferably readonly (like an S3 bucket or whatever). And test the restore process.

I hope they get it sorted, what a mess.

If you're lucky enough to have a job. Which you probably won't in a Great Depression II

I'm about to start a new role. What have you found most effective in using it to learn a new code base? Just asking questions about "what is this class doing" ? drawing architecture diagrams?

Any write up on this?

Kamal is basically self hosting though right? So you have to take care of keeping the underlying os patched etc. With heroku you only needed to think about git push.. ?

May well have bugs as I just finished it (and really it should be baked into the UI so you can easily reverse)... however... here is the reverse play:

Hope your daughter likes it.

But this is different? Wholesale copying of copyrighted works and packaging it up and allowing it to be generated. It's not remotely reasonable

Yup, I'm going to build out the reverse play when I find time in the next few weeks hopefully! I'll try to remember to comment here :)

Quite probably you did just run up against a bug in it! I'd have to see the position though.

Great question on the maximal theoretical length. Being pedantic I'd imagine infinite if I just move a knight back and forth and you move a king back and forth. (Though I disallow repeat moves for interests sake)

I've been working on https://www.minichessgames.com which I built with my 6 year old (she was the product owner ;). It's a site with a bunch of small puzzles (e.g. imagine a chess board with rocks thrown onto it, then move a single piece to a goal square). Lots of fun building it out. And radioactive pooping knights [1] is _amazing_ if I do say so myself ;).

It's just a basic minmax. The main mistake it makes is that if it can find an assured path to getting you it doesn't care how many moves in the future it is (even if it could win this turn).

That said, the audience is 6 year olds so I don't really want it to play perfectly!

Thanks :). Did you manage to beat it (first time?) ;)
