I offended an open source maintainer with an @-mention on my PR. I got a stern response but his points were valid.

I got thinking on how AI tools are creating a new "Eternal September" for open source with more contributions, but more noise for volunteer maintainers who are already stretched thin.

What if AI could help their side too? Triage, first-pass review, quality gates, etc to protect volunteer time instead of just consuming it. A few already discussing this and putting it into practice.

I am skeptical of this. Look what it did for recruiting. AI reading AI generated application squeezed all the real information out of the channel. It's a form of model collapse. Even without AI, look at dating apps. There's not bandwidth between humans like human interaction. There never will be

So I'm confused. You agreed that the "@" mentions were "unnecessary" and said "I understand" the criticism. But you seem to suggest otherwise in your joking response above. https://blossom.primal.net/9690ef7ad1bfac31fa09b3aefce5ff3fb2dfcdeb2db95230ccb4122090a33dfa.png I usually try to balance har...

SeedSigner doesn't support message signing for multisig keys — it throws "Not implemented" for any m/48' derivation path. I raised this as an issue two years ago, no fix came, so I patched it myself.

The change is small (21 lines) and the actual signing function already worked — it was just the path parser blocking multisig paths unnecessarily.

I use message signing for key ownership and control verification in multisig SMSF custody setups via Gatekeeper (https://gatekeeper.dpinkerton.com). Coldcard handles this fine, but SeedSigner users were stuck.

Based devs fixing broken things. SeedSigner gets a small, but vital, patch.

Great work! I'm so sorry you had to actually experience getting this response. 🤯 https://mibo.eu.nostria.app/64f1952849b878134751d3d0a1d490901f3864c775f53ed263f438db3de0e0fc.webp

I think that the BIP43 purpose fields were a mistake adding complexity. It attempts to track script type, but breaks down in many multisig applications.

Build better home network. Potentially build out commercial networks, using tailscale, or other Foss stuff.. So many comma businesses just rely on Ubiquity for everything..

Wrote up how my homelab proxying strategy evolved over four phases — from port forwarding with DDNS to a VPS running nothing but HAProxy for L4 passthrough.

The key insight: keep the VPS dumb. SNI inspection, encrypted passthrough, nothing else. TLS termination belongs on hardware you control.

Comparison table of L7-on-VPS vs L4-passthrough vs direct port forwarding, plus thoughts on Traefik for automatic Docker service discovery.

That's pretty helpful! I have a couple of parked domains and my isp is behind cgnat so I am eventually going to want to set up a vps... this was a handy overview of what I am in for when I get there. Thanks.

Thanks Dave. Really appreciate that Waking up to lower and lower levels tests even the strongest of resolved 🫣😅
