In case you are unaware, make sure to override DNS on any web browsers or other programs that might be skipping OS configured DNS servers to use hard-coded DNS over HTTPS servers.
If you’re running your own DNS resolver you can hint this to some applications in your network via a canary domain
Cool news, I hope it’s able to be reproduced!
I appreciate this approach to science writing. Gives context and conveys excitement about the science being done, without resorting to hyperbole about how this is guaranteed to change the world as we know it. And very well distilled for someone like me with no background in materials science!
So obviously this is a very confrontational post, but tone aside, I kind of get it. I think it’s good that the author is up front and has made an explicit decision that they don’t want to put in the effort to build a public community around their software. They’re providing it as-is as a service to the public and they even indicate that they are open to other groups forking and putting the work into building a community. And crucially I’m not seeing an expectation that the community contributes back. I don’t think there is anything wrong in deciding where your interests and limits are, and I’ve seen other open-source projects die or rot when the maintainer runs out of time or loses interest, but without this being clearly communicated.
I agree with you that I personally wouldn’t try to contribute to a project like this since I also have no interest in building a community myself, but at least the project is up-front and clear about all this.
It worked great for me years ago, but all the US-based banks I use have since killed off their OFX Direct Connect programs.
