I have these words roughly memorized. I probably solved in under a minute.

A complicated plugin ecosystem (e.g. Jenkins) makes for a terrible use experience. It’s annoying to configure a bunch of config files. Managing dependencies can be a complete nightmare. these problems also complicate your ci/cd.
So I’ll offer a slightly different answer. I prefer a single file instead of splitting up the config. And I’ll use OpenTelemetry as an excellent example of why. the plugins are compiled right into the app binary. This offers a ton of advantages, including a great reason to merge all of your app configs in a single file.
This really only works well if you have a good app though.
I finally got one!

Oh interesting! The 1106 post was already up when I played. I wonder why it didn’t change over to the new days puzzle for me? I suspect some time zone nonsense
Why are you spamming this post to so many communities? It’s been in my feed 5 times now in maybe 60 seconds.
I certainly don’t have an answer for you. Sorry 🙂
I’m super curious about your motives and goals though. Why do you want to do this??
Uh email? It’s not exactly exciting but there are loads of tools available for automating emails. Definitely asynchronous. Does it fit your needs?
I ditched chrome (chromium + google propriety spyware) some years ago in favor of Brave browser (chromium + Brave stuff). It was a decent user experience but Brave also does some shady stuff, which you can google easily if interested.
Last year, google poisoned chromium with DRM stuff. They rolled back the changes after a few months but the damage was already done. I, and many others, jumped ship to Firefox and other non-chromium based browsers. Firefox isn’t perfect, but it’s an excellent browser. I’m sticking with it for the foreseeable future. And absolutely use uBlock Origin. Between that and proton VPN features, I don’t see ads anymore. It’s fantastic.
As someone who can make some fairly well educated guesses about the programming.dev infra and effort, I find this entire project is kinda fascinating. Keep it up!!!
Do you have any public info available on the operating costs (time + money)? How do you fund everything?
I recently dug into this because I accidentally trashed my wife’s OS which was encrypted with bitlocker. PITA btw and I couldn’t beat the encryption
Bitlocker encryption key hash is stored in 2 possible places. First is an unencrypted segment of the encrypted drive. This is bad because it’s pretty easy to read that hash and then decrypt the drive. The second place is on a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) which is a chip on the motherboard. This is better because it’s much more difficult to hack. It can be done but requires soldering on extra hardware to sniff the hash while the machine boots up. Might even be destructive… I’m not sure.
Either way a motivated attacker can decrypt the drive if they have physical access. For my personal machines, I wouldn’t care about this level of scrutiny at all.
Anyways you can see if any open source solutions support TPM.
While this article offers a nice list of multiplexers, I feel like it misses a subset of them: terminal emulators that offer multiplexing features. For example, when I adopted wezterm into my workflow, I suddenly had no need for zellij and quickly removed it from my dotfiles/machines. Surely, other emulators also belong in this list too
