I currently do about 45K stars worth, serving an estimated 12-15M users. github.com/coreybutler

Sounds expensive.

The successor project we're working on at @author.io supports macOS too (Linux too, eventually). The pictured notification comes from the small part of the new app that we embedded in NVM for Windows to help begin transitioning folks to the new app. TLDR; there will be a macOS version too.

Thanks!! This is just a teeny tiny bit of what we've cooked up for the successor project.

I see it as a risk v reward model capping the reward w/o capping risk.
Businesses can't earn until someone does the early legwork. The NFP model might work once that point is reached, but I don't see how it gets there to begin with unless there is an imbalanced reward for imbalanced risk/effort.

I said profit too.
What attracts investment w/o profit? Who seeds a non-profit at that scale on principle alone?
Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I can't see anyone rallying enough support to underwrite/establish this.
Nothing wrong with profit. The problem is greed.

What motivates anyone to provide insurance if there is no profit?

I've had this issue with other accounts too and they eventually show up. The problem, for me, is just remembering to check again 😅. I'll try again, but if I haven't pinged you about this by the time the US holidays are over, feel free to remind me.

Did you just setup a new bsky handle?

To be clear, I want to add people who are actually posting about software, hardware, development, etc. If I scroll through your feed and don't see any tech posts or something about tech in your bio, I'm not going to add you to the list.

Got it - I'm trying to keep the list focused on people posting about tech who happen to be in ATX.

Posting about tech? I didn't see anything on your feed, so it's hard to tell.

My pleasure, you're on the list now.

I think that is essentially the goal behind atproto.

The real question is how much staying power these will have. Meteoric rises in popularity are worthless if they're followed by a meteoric fall.

Edit button. Also, every time I add someone to a starter pack, I have to do it twice before they show up on the list.

Eero has been decent, but I'll only use the older devices. Amazon bought them, integrated w/ Alexa, and stream data back to Amazon. If I go mesh again, it'll be an Ubiquiti network (ui.com/us/en/wifi).

This hits the nail on the head.

NVM4W sets a user agent of "NVM for Windows" for this purpose. Thankfully I put that in the code base many years ago, so the old versions should have that. In the release coming this week, I'll add the version number too (or another header if it helps).

I have to head out for a bit, but which channel in slack? I'll try to pop in there when I get back.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for such quick feedback. Really appreciate it! The bug appeared in a patch a few years ago, but was never detected because the code looked correct. It's already resolved, but I'm concerned for users who can't immediately upgrade.
comment in response to
post
This has already been fixed, but the problem is existing installs for users who cannot upgrade immediately. See my last comment at github.com/coreybutler/...

Gah - still getting use to Bsky. I posted the thread in reverse order. Sorry!

Here's the open issue: github.com/coreybutler/...

At some point in early November, the servers started responding with a 404 instead of the file. That's when I got a flood of issues about failed downloads.
The issue has been patched in NVM for Windows, but there are a lot of users running old versions as critical infrastructure.
comment in response to

There is a bug in NVM for Windows download URLs (for most old versions) where an extra slash ends up in the URL, i.e. `https://nodejs.org/dist/v14.21.3/win-x64//node.exe`. Apparently, this always resolved, because the bug went undetected in the app for a couple of years.

Welcome to the list, fellow Go developer!

I haven't either, but my co-organizers and Expedia (our venue sponsor) brought things back to life this year. I'm hoping to be at more meetups in the new year.

Happy to help. I co-run a meetup here in ATX called Bleeding Edge Web (edgeatx.org). @pfrazee.com actually gave a talk about protocols at one of the events like 8yrs ago :-) We've got about ~4K members, but not many on bsky yet. We're off until January, but the next time you're in ATX, stop by.

We did them (edgeatx.org) this whole year at Expedia's offices in the Domain, but we break during Nov/Dec for the holidays. We're lining up speakers/sponsors for next year right now.
