If I was letting some random person rent one of my servers without oversight, I'd sure want to see some ID first.

I don't think it's naive, I often do the same in Vue. A pretty useful subset of vue-router can be implemented in less than a tenth of the bundle size.

I don't think 1, 2, and 4 apply to many high profile open source projects.

That's what the GP was saying, I think. Once they get the MAC address, they can find you. Not via software on the phone, from exfiltrating and using shady third parties that collect data from access points, etc.

Okay, but if there's collusion between the app developers and external routers then it doesn't matter if the MAC is randomized. The app can still see the current MAC address and report it, and you can still be located, if nothing else, to within the range of a wireless router. Nothing is solved by randomizing the MAC address.

Do you use AI agents on repos without version control?

Then aren't most forms of investment based on a "gambler's argument"?

A risky investment is obviously akin to gambling, but to get things built and make a profit you have no other choice.

Are you now equating an investor with some guy in a casino? Sorry, but that seems like a stretch.

You are quoting and responding to a rhetorical question from a person with essentialy the same criticism as you, to respond as if they are making the claim.. why??

No I am not, you took the opposite of the intended meaning.

I'm saying the risk aspect is similar, but I take issue with equating (product) investment and gambling, since one has a potential to create, and the other just shifts money around.

I remember periods of time when GitHub was down every few weeks, my impression is that it's become more stable over the years.

I don't even travel that much, and still have trouble. Tethering at the local library or coffee shops is hit or miss, everything slows down during storms, etc.

One problem I've found in my current house is that the connection becomes flakier in heavy rain, presumably due to poor connections between the cabinet and houses. I live in Cardiff which for those unaware is one of Britain's rainiest cities. Fun times.

I ran headscale for a while and can confirm local devices could still chat when the internet went down.

I'd agree with you in the past, when KiCAD didn't work as nicely with git. And for a professional project, I'd still at least keep snapshots of every milestone with "compiled" output.

But for a hobby project I really don't see the need. It takes a few extra minutes to install KiCAD, clone the repo, and view the schematic at any point in time.
