My only possible counterpoint in agreement is whataboutism. Companies make lots of devices designed for "negative" behavior.

Not an excuse but an explanation perhaps?

Has the extra benefit of getting them ready for the workforce. /s

They aren't trying to scale support. If anything, they are trying to throw AI at the problem. The support team is understaffed and overwhelmed.
GitHub support is full of amazing, hard working people.

It is also comically understaffed. This is not because they can't find people to work - it's not given the budget necessary.

Do you have to do PVC or can you just bury the fiber?

What do you use on the house and on the shed side to convert to CAT6?
Thanks for the response - that makes a lot of sense. I wonder how hard it would be to make a compatibility layer in the future.
You mention OTEL stuff in passing (Jaeger, etc). Did you ever consider using an open standard like OpenTelemetry? I admit it's challenging to get it going but standards can be helpful.
Your page doesn't resolve for me.

I've never met Hendrik but the code looks cool :)
That's super interesting - have you written up anything on this? I'd love to read it.
Unless they hire Homer Simpson.....

I was thinking the same thing - wouldn't blob storage or a CDN help?

Yeah, it's a Copilot Business/Enterprise feature
Not trying to be a jerk but how is this different than the Rust solutions listed on https://github.com/anderspitman/awesome-tunneling already?

What makes your solution better or different?

Recently two selfhosted open source file sharing platforms archived their repos indicating no further updates (most recently https://github.com/kyantech/Palmr).

I wanted an opportunity to learn more Svelte so I created Enlace which has a Go backend and Svelte frontend.

It's nearly complete but I would love any assistance with testing.

Re:Surfboard Makers on Wednesday February 25, 2026 @12:41PM (#47154878)
We are a small team that builds deployment software, and we use AI tools extensively to do it. Poke around our repos and you’ll find a CLAUDE.md file right there in the root, sitting alongside a homepage that says “human-centric.” We don’t think that’s a contradiction, and we’d like to explain why.
Re:Running My Own XMPP Server on Monday February 16, 2026 @02:35PM (#47039261)
They do publish https://telegram.org/blog/tdlib so couldn't a client author just do shared key encryption or something?

https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1qfffz5/have_an... is the only correct answer:

Do what you can to support your wife, not your habit.

Any thought of adding the ability to receive faxes too? I notice that most of the sending places don't offer that and it might be a difference if it's not too expensive.
