  • I’m obviously a fan of LE but a simple self-hosted option with a custom CA would be great for local machines:

    • I don’t want every Raspberry Pi/laptop/temp VM/whatever published into the cert transparency record
    • Configuring the router to forward every local hostname to the machine’s .well-known would be awful (if my ISP even allowed port 80)
    • Exposing local machines to the Internet is an unnecessary degradation of security



  • Using more than one monitor was the first “Why would you want to do that?” moment. Window management on Macs is awful but adding screens makes it way worse. Coming from i3 and sway, with rich hotkeys and fast, straightforward window manipulation, it felt like someone forgot to finish writing the OS. It seems most people use only the laptop screen or have a single external monitor as an auxiliary? They just genuinely didn’t know why or how you use multiple monitors.

    Tiling in macOS can be polyfilled with apps but there are tons of edge cases where it fails and the app’s hotkeys don’t flow well from the a handful of native keys, so it feels disjoint and bodged together. Also, if you “bump” a window, it’ll stay dislodged because it’s a poor mimicry of the real thing.

    Ugh, sounds like some of my coworkers and MacBooks. Then you discover that MacBooks are seriously crippled compared to the Linux machine you were using and you get told one of:

    1. “What do you mean by $feature? I’ve never heard of that.”
    2. “Why would you want to do that?”
    3. Run a badly performing Linux VM in a janky hypervisor to do that
    4. Pay $10 for this little 3rd party app to fix the problem

    Throw in some serious RSI pain from that tire fire of a keyboard and yeah, I have no idea why I switched.

    Edit: Work machine. No way I’d pay for Apple with my own money.
