We won. https://research.swtch.com/telemetry-opt-in

@prologic From Russ Cox: "note that if you set GOPROXY=direct, the go command still uses the checksum database to protect against supply chain attacks. If you really want the go command not to use servers, you also need to set GOSUMDB=off."

lol it has no end

Whelp, @prologic, Google can't help but be Google, and I shouldn't have believed you... Russ Cox wants to build telemetry directly into the core Go tools: https://github.com/golang/go/discussions/58409

You can't remove the Google stench from anything Google is involved in.

Oh, shoot, it's 13 UTC now? I just... got on the call... whoops. I knew the second call was 7 hours after the first one, and I didn't actually look at the time of the first one in my calendar, and made a daylight savings-inspired screw-up.

Can we please get rid of daylight savings time as a thing?

Wooo! I'm back! And the app has a new name!

Hey @prologic, are you planning on switching git.mills.io over to Forgejo when it launches?

On the call we were talking about how Mastodon servers DDoS websites when they generate link previews: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/11/mastodon-stampede/ There's some interesting questions about how to do this more efficiently without a bad user experience.

Switched my Sandstorm dev box from an Ubuntu machine to a Debian one this week. Night and day difference in performance, once you get past the part where Debian fresh installs broken in various subtle ways.

Wrote a new Sandstorm.io app tonight in less than an hour called Sum: https://apps.sandstorm.io/app/uw6vkwgwkeqv9fdkh94hqwt6nh4jfm02hzf3mkth1qfntkfx8cjh?experimental=true

It's extremely simple (basically an old tape adding machine plus a memo field), but it'll save me some time and make a process i do mobile friendly.
