rathole - ngrok alternative
Some time ago I tried to make my Nitter instance available on the Internet from home via Tailscale, Caddy and an own building block in between, but stopped it again a short time later because it didn’t work that well somehow.

The Impacts of an Insecure Software Supply Chain
Today, software regularly integrates open-source code from third-party sources into applications. While this practice empowers developers to create more capable software in a shorter time frame, it brings with it the risk of introducing inadequately vetted code. How aware are we of the security of our open-source code? Most of us use pip or npm […]

@benk@kwiecien.us I haven’t actually looked at the original twtxt client, which means the following is ill-conceived speculation, but I believe that it only fetched feeds when you “refreshed”, with a minimum time between feed fetches. Sure, you’ll fetch feed unnecessarily now and then, but not nearly as often as polling every 5 minutes ;)

How Docker Desktop Networking Works Under the Hood
Modern applications make extensive use of networks. At build time it’s common to apt-get/dnf/yum/apk install a package from a Linux distribution’s package repository. At runtime an application may wish to connect() to an internal postgres or mysql database to persist some state, while also calling listen() and accept() to expose APIs and UIs over TCP […]
