Since you can still build your own binaries from the source, how well is linkerd’s strategy working?

Block AI scrapers with Anubis I got tired with all the AI scrapers that were bullying my git server, so I made a tool to stop them for good.

If self hosting you can stop AI crawlers with Anibus

Writing generalised code is hard. I’ve been trending towards writing specialised code instead. LLMs make this easier to do for well-contained problems, when you can verify the code they produce is good. And they’re useful for writing tests (providing exisiting tests as examples helps). Great post.

TIL transaction isolation and durability in ACID are orthogonal.

eg: when synchronous_commit=off then COMMIT in Postgres doesn’t mean a transaction has persisted durably to disk, just that it’s in the WAL

see this fantastic thread and the linked PR comments.

Would be nice if the Bluesky app could be still be used with stale content when there’s no or low data available (eg: in-flight wifi). Doesn’t seem to boot. Whereas Twitter works.
