"I did my best" comes across as exceedingly hollow when the post itself is :
1) : 'circus freaks of open source' isn't some clever pun or double entendre; it's just a jab.
and
2) : "Hey everyone , this list of folks have troubles, let's talk about them by name and make a gentleman's pact not to bother them while we analyze the meta situation of 'people with troubles' more broadly!"
"Let's not bother this <full name of person>, internet!" is about the most naive net take one could imagine. If you need to make an example, or use a person as an example, at least try to anonymize the premise and identity.
If your doctor got an ig nobel for his pioneering technique for removing cucumbers from patients' rectums you'd be damned sure you'd prefer a Bob and Jane style anecdote rather than full name credit and a press interview as a frontier patient.
Yeah, Terry is long gone. Other folks aren't. Let's not pretend we're all just unwitting spectators here, and let's not ascribe fault or reasons behind Terry's tragic end.
Ok, but it's a freak show tho! The title promises circus freaks and two are on display, with their freakiness aired out for all to see. There's some "aren't we the villain here" hand-wringing but it's hard to take that seriously in an article that's organized around the display of two freaks!
The "bad news" about Tahoe is largely overblown unless you hang out in the control center (or whatever they call that notification area) all day, which is the only place you'll actually notice Liquid Glass on a Mac.
What does that even mean?
This AI-coded extension uses a Cloudflare worker to generate API keys for the proxy service "webshare.io". It then uses the Chrome proxy API (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/p...) to set up a Webshare proxy server.
QuickVPN is not a system-level VPN that installs OS drivers it’s a browser proxy extension that uses Chrome’s proxy API to route only browser traffic through proxy servers. When I said “runs entirely in your browser,” I meant exactly that: it works inside Chrome without any external app or driver, unlike most VPNs that need system access.
Currently, I’m using a trusted and well-known third-party provider (Webshare.io) for the proxy network. They are a genuine and reputable service I’ve personally reviewed their platform, checked their privacy policy, and read user reviews before integrating them. I don’t believe they have any bad intentions or do anything suspicious with user data. They’re a legitimate company offering rotating proxies for developers and businesses.
The extension itself does not log, track, or store any user data. I don’t run any backend database or analytics system everything works locally in the browser. The proxy connection and rotation are handled directly between the user’s browser and the third-party proxy provider.
My main goal with QuickVPN is to offer a lightweight, one-click connection without signups or complicated setup. It’s meant for users who just want fast access to proxy connections directly in Chrome without installing software or paying for heavy VPN apps.
In the future, if I see good traction and more active users, I plan to set up my own proxy servers and manage the infrastructure myself. That way, I can ensure complete control, privacy, and logging transparency. Right now, I’m focusing on building a solid user base and gathering feedback.
I think it shows that there is a persistent dislike of yaml. I would like to read about the history of why yaml became so popular, despite all its flaws.
