Take your time and do it right.

I think Sir Patrick should be honored with a black bar on HN

I grew up watching this show. I watched it with my dad. I'm bereft right now.
I think this is basically related to apple's SIP system protection: they haven't figured out a way to update this quickly and would need to roll this out in like an OS update, which can take a while.

They might need to make a way to do this outside of os updates

I think there’s a systemd service you can install, a user one
Re:eMudhra to Exit Global SSL/TLS Certificate Business on Friday October 23, 2026 @08:53AM (#50208223)
I think this business exiting the TLS ecosystem is a sensible idea.... but we the readership here most likely have to clean up their mess. UGH.
I was going to suggest just this! I love Boaty McBoatface.

But as a resident of the Chicago area, I’m partial to Da Rock

Yeah, the arch omission is a bit telling.
Re:macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @12:13PM (#49895782)
My understanding is that Apple has this culture of we must ship things by this date no matter what. They really should slow down and make sure things are fully baked before they get out to the final RC.

Golden Gate works pretty well so far for me.

Re:Alternatives to MinIO for single-node local S3 on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @07:58AM (#49711209)
I might have to try this. I’m currently pinned on the last non-crippled version of minio
Re:iPhone Duo on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @03:24PM (#49632683)
I'll pass on this. Less moving parts appeals to me. I'm sure the HW and SW engineers at Apple did a great job, but, i like the current form factor.
Re:Antiquated HTML Snippets and Artefacts on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @01:19PM (#49613350)
Oh this is so much fun. Takes me back to the days I built out a scraper for a daily deal intelligence website.

I literally saw daily deals that were microsoft word files saved as HTML. Ugh.

It’s a series of tubes! It’s not a big truck!
This is sad. I grew up with him as a columnist in like MacWorld or MacUser, to later on see him become an Apple troll. I think he broke his hand off patting himself on the back after his prediction of Apple moving to Intel chips came to fruition.

I was sad when he got fired from PC Mag over that 5g column.

Re:TLS certificates for internal services done right on Thursday July 09, 2026 @01:28PM (#48849488)
Split horizon DNS is not something I'm willing to do. I'll just rock out with .internal or .home.arpa, have step-ca and bind communicate to each other, either in step-issuer in kube or maybe even rfc2136 if i feel like a bit of the dns-01 strategy is in order. I slap the internal ca root certs everywhere, and keep my home infra out of the crt.sh logs.

I get it, I could just do *.mydomain.com and slap that wildcard cert everywhere, but it's still in the public logs..

Heh. Copy that floppy. I remember being in the computer labs in high school in the mid to late 90s seeing posters saying "Don't copy that floppy" with strong anti-piracy warnings.
yes, I was complaining about grammar
What is with the phrase "increase spend"? It just seems gramatically .... off. Why not say "Apple partners with Broadcom to produce billions more US chips".
Re:Show HN: Davit, a Apple Containers UI on Tuesday July 07, 2026 @10:07PM (#48826637)
I can’t speak about orbstack, but I’ve worked with docker desktop and podman desktop for years on macOS. Those programs start up a virtual machine that consistently eats ram regardless of whether or not you are running containers in it. Apple container looks lighter weight. In the age of ridiculous ram costs, you gotta save resources.
This is fantastic, i was thinking of something just like this
The sheer amount of internet disruption that goes on in Spain during soccer matches is just absolutely insane. People who pay for internet service and use it responsibly should not have their service disrupted by people pirating soccer matches. I can’t imagine the investors of the internet companies in Spain are happy about this either.
I’m just using .home.arpa for my self hosted stuff. Free, just have to deal with TLS root cert trust, but once that’s down; you’re golden.
Re:Epic Games announces Lore version control system on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @02:03PM (#48574214)
How about the last pre-enshittified version of Minio?
Re:Epic Games announces Lore version control system on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @02:02PM (#48574201)
I may not be the first to bring this up, but seeing the name of this program reminds me of Data’s evil brother
I'm game for this, please start with Ubuntu
I was literally about to submit a mechanical watch as an example to the site im them submission, then i remembered I read the site you just linked to. My kid was amazed at all the gears and stuff in my mechanical watch
A 16 year boy apparently named his Bluetooth speaker “bomb” and couldn’t turn it off, as it was probably in checked luggage. Woof.

macos26 is just one big UI regression. Ugh.. so much wasted screenspace.

Re:Days without GitHub incidents on Monday May 04, 2026 @02:26PM (#48012783)
GitHub is not a monopoly. It never has been. You've always been able to self-host or you can use gogs, gitea, gitlab, bitbucket, you get the idea
