I will likely release a 2.0.0 final edition after Runtime releases (fingers crossed Runtime releases this month) for those who aren't ready to transition to Runtime.

In the meantime, the options are:

- Use v1.1.12 (latest stable)
- Build from source

Runtime A node.js version management utility for Windows. Ironically written in Go. - coreybutler/nvm-windows

It wouldn't do any good right now. Even if I merge, I won't be able to release. Each release costs me about 6 weeks of admin work confirming Crowdstrike reports and other vulnerability scanner reports. I can't take that on right now. I'm busy finishing Runtime.

Good list. One "gotcha".

On Windows, I only use `go build -o ...`. Apps often trigger Windows Defender/AV prompts (protected ports/dirs) on each build. Bypassing this requires allow-listing explicit executable names (answer prompt once), but `go run` generates temp filenames on every build.

I stopped following Eero when they integrated with Alexa. Alexa relies on server-side processing, so your data leaves your network or it doesn't work. That was enough for me to say "no thanks". Not sure if there are other privacy concerns beyond that (or maybe a way to disable that nowadays).

I saw a Jason Fried post earlier. He said Jira's charging by the migraine now?

I think the real point here is we should be describing file sizes in DMs (DOOMS) instead of MBs/GBs/etc.

If you're willing to pay, IFTTT has a Twitter follower action (available on the cheapest tier). For a while, I used this to track malware and post webhooks. Worked pretty well.

Maybe it's just me, but the number of bot followers I have to sift through on this site is drastically higher than the other site. Anyone else have this problem?

Sure, why not?! I added you... seems like it takes a little while to show up. If you're not on the list by tomorrow, ping me again and I'll try again.

I'm feeling snarky. I just replied to a Quora question with "Yo mama".

Stars are kind of silly, but it still feels good to hit certain numbers. NVM for Windows just crossed 40K.

Hopefully in the next week, maybe two. The blocker is ARM64 support. We need an Azure spot instance to compile properly, then link it up to GHA. That should put us back on track.

I'll reach out as that part of our effort becomes more tenable. We're laying some groundwork now (thus stretched thin atm). For now, I just wanted to get on your radar and support your return to this effort. There is so much opportunity w/ standalone distro for JS devs!

It's a bit premature, but we're planning to build a universal packaging tool for Node/Deno/Bun (w/ cross-platform installers, code signing, etc) into our product. I might ping you up if we need help. I'd be happy to share feedback too (even if we don't need help).

I just created an automated apt repo manager w/ GitHub+Cloudflare R2. It's a great workflow enhancement, but oh how I long for a better local GitHub Actions dev environment.

Releases ยท coreybutler/nvm-windows A node.js version management utility for Windows. Ironically written in Go. - coreybutler/nvm-windows

One more last release for 2024: NVM for Windows v1.2.2 was just released to resolve a nasty little bug that prevented nvm install from working if you installed on a drive other than C:\. github.com/coreybutler/...

A lot of work went into this, but it's still a tiny fraction of what's in our pipeline. I'm excited for what's coming in 2025 and I'd love any early feedback anyone has to offer.

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.

NVM for Windows v1.2.0 will have native desktop notifications for @nodejs.org LTS/Current releases, courtesy of @author.io. I'm aiming to release it this week.

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?
