My friend @meistermeier.com wrote a nice post about #SpringBoot #Actuator meistermeier.com/2024/12/28/S... and why it is *not* insecure by default, in contrast what the folks at CCC implied. TL;DR: #VW apparently enabled it on purpose, opted out of security and went straight to production.

I got a new idea for a small pet project. But it looks like I need to look into running Python as WASM for it. Sure, super interesting, but both are more or less new to me. Let’s see if I can make it work.

Cognitive load is what matters
Cognitive load is what matters
There are so many buzzwords and best practices out there, but let's focus on something more fundamental. What matters is the amount of confusion developers feel when going through the code.

I tried building a personal finance analytics app with Copilot. Kickstarting was really quick and I got something running only with minor tweaks. But the domain knowledge of the business code logic was just plain wrong?!
I don’t have an MBA, so I really had to think twice to catch it, not cool! 😮

Coincidentally, this is a great reminder of how expensive it can be to maintain infrastructure at scale - and maybe more importantly - with proper privacy.
It costs around $50 million every year to ensure Signal is robust and available all over the world for anyone whenever they need it.
And as a nonprofit, that money comes from all of you; the people who believe that we all deserve a place to speak freely.

Finally had an hour to fix my homeserver's backups. Perks of a hobby project, but it's still a weird feeling to not have working backups for some days.

I wrote up how my NAS is now just a big initramfs based on Alpine Linux. words.filippo.io/frood/
It's been pretty great. Immutable, declarative, and very very simple. Just some files, a list of packages, and a short script.

frood, an Alpine initramfs NAS
My NAS is just one big initramfs containing a whole Alpine Linux system. It’s delightful. Here's why and how.

I really like the idea of block lists and I just used some to block hundreds (?). But looking at how this works in practice, giving random people power to propagate blocks to thousands with a click: what could go wrong? 🫠
