  • don’t get the negativity towards copilot in other comments.
    it’s a really smart autocomplete, and this is exactly what i wanted for the past 5 years.
    (yeah it’s not going to replace programmers or whatever people’s exaggerated opinions of it are)

    wanna quickly create a wgpu bind group?
    let texture_bind_group = <tab> <tab> and it’s smart enough to understand the context and pull in texture and texture sampler that are already defined as local variables.

    too lazy to type this obvious thing in?
    (like of course the next opcode islet op = self.fetch();) just press tab and move on with your life.

    wanna quickly refactor something?
    select, ask CP Chat to “replace all if statements with match”, check if it’s correct and click confirm (it will even show git-style diffs, so it’s hard for something unexpected to slip in)

    it’s not perfect, and it’s suggestions do not match your intention like 50% of the time but when they do match or your intention is REALLY obvious (like you already wrote a clear and concise variable name and need to complete the value), you’re a single keypress away from completing those 2 lines of code

    It’s not a total deal breaker but it’s definitely very useful. (especially for me, because of my very short attention span. unless i can quickly complete a thing I’m currently working on in less than a minute i will forget about the next 10 things I was thinking of doing)

    also i don’t believe the price is justified, but it’s free for students so of course I’m gonna use it.

    (you just need to verify your student email and upload a photo of your student id on education.github.com, and you get a free gh copilot subscription, gh pro account, priority support and promos on loads of services like heroku etc while you’re a student)





  • zerotier is open source and free with up to 25 nodes per network, and supports custom ip assignments (in custom ranges, with option to have multiple subnets per network), custom dhcp, managed dns, and custom, multiple managed routes (with option to point to a custom gateway), and traffic flow rules.

    for example here are the rules i have set up for my “gaming” network that i use to play LAN games with my friends (only allows ipv4, arp and ipv6 traffic and prevents clients from self-assigning ip addresses)

    route settings page:
    my “personal” network (which just links all of my personal devices together) exists in 172.16.0.0/24 and auto-assigns ipv4 addresses in 172.16.0.101-172.16.0.199 range using dhcp (but i have configured custom ip addresses for each device anyway), and ipv6 is auto-assigned using RFC4196.
