I used to use them, yes. It’s a pretty solid setup, especially like you say, if the tang server itself requires you enter a password to unlock.

A while ago I moved to tpm and secureboot to auto-unlock my servers on boot. It’s definitely slightly less secure, tpm vulnerabilities or a severe enough vulnerability in one of the network services on the machine and a hacker could get into them. But it’s quite a bit more secure than storing the unlock key on usb, and requires at least some degree of hacking skill to break in.

sbctl makes the process of signing boot files pretty easy, systems-cryptenroll for setting up tpm auto-unlock

Opencode Go is a pretty good value for the amount of credits you get and the TUI and web/desktop client is pretty good.

I’m really happy switching to opencode after copilot got ridiculous with their pricing bullshit this month

I start to wonder if we need something sitting between extra and aur, few more trusted maintainers and well secured update process that’s more than the aur Wild West

Also, some sort of yay hook to do some scanning for suspicious diffs and warning or skipping those packages…

I don’t want / need a system where I can blindly update everything, but something to help me avoid having to visually check every package diff would be nice

I was still using my copilot account, figured I’d see how the new pricing worked. I blew through 60% of my max+ limit in 1 day on absurdly light usage, promptly cancelled rather than upgrade from the $39 / month plan to the $100 /month plan.

I do think there’s a productivity help from AI but vibe coding everything is miserable and gives awful results. Targeted AI usage makes sense and I’ll refine my local AI usage and tooling for that.

As an American, all I have to say is…. Yep

Start “open-ish”, gain traction, start abusing market position, start closing things off, become hostile to your customers…

That was intentional. They were trying to word the announcement to not make it sound like you’re now getting 1/5-1/9 as much AI for the same price.

I love that their email made it sound like it was a wash, like “we’re just changing our billing model, you’ll get credits now, samesies!” but then this pricing chart buried 3-levels down from the announcement lays out just how much less you’re going to get for the same price.

I wonder about all the startups who were bragging about their $10k/month AI coding bills being the best money they ever spent. When this new pricing kicks in and pushes it to $40k/month right around the time all the vibe-coded shit blows up their codebase, I wonder if they’ll still be so happy with their choices.

I interviewed for a place a while back and started asking about quality and velocity and how they balance it with AI developer tools, he said something like “One of our developers closed 400 PRs last month” and I instantly knew it was definitely not the place for me.

This dude thinks aspirin causes autism but then complains we’re not approving enough drugs. That tapeworm really did a number on this guy.

This is like The Washington Post (owned by Bezos) with articles about how billionaires shouldn’t be taxed

When you’re deranged they let you do it.
