I have just let it grow organically. The front page is an index of various topics from personal things and particular games to household information. Then below that there might be just a page or an index to a bunch of pages often starting just as a list of links. I am often refactoring once a page has a bunch of sub headings of related topics but ultimately now needing multiple pages and replacing the original with the index to those pages. I don’t think I could have designed an index system from the start without the content because I wouldn’t have known what I was going to store.

Puts a lot of evidence towards his claims that Microsoft was behaving badly from the outset and the reason why he started doing this. They keep escalating. Its a war they started.

The death of Stackoverflow is one of these events where the site has been completely killed by AI and yet its contents is completely necessary for AI to know about solving programming problems. Its death will mark the end of AIs ability to learn how to solve programming issues. Its cannibalizing itself in the process, as it destroys its sources it destroys its own ability to learn.

Standard USB 3.0 is 5gbps, which is quite a bit faster than a hard disk drive so if you get a basic USB adapter it will perform about as you would expect a hard drive to perform just a bit worse. Direct Attach Storage will be many drives connected over USB and then you might run into limitations as the number of drives increases as USB tends to top out about 350MB/s with drives.

There are already companies mass producing solid state batteries with ~380KWh densities for a Litre, substantially better than Li-ion and safer as well since they don’t ignite. They just aren’t at the sort of scale yet where a lot of the market will be using them.

One possibility is to leave the Github available but just have it as a project page that points them to where the development is really happening and then host it where ever you want. In the near term this seems like a solution that at the very least makes the project visible and findable for those that go looking just on github.

They aren’t yet putting up barriers since their sole purpose is people connecting to each other. There is every chance they do move to restricting access but I think it would be the death of Twitch and certainly Twitter if they started doing so. Social media doesn’t require us to trust some group of people to choose our content for us and as such is a lot less prone to that bias and billionaire control. That isn’t to say the billionaires don’t have an effect, on Twitter what people are exposed to by the algorithm is very intentional and controlled as is the front page roll on Twitch, but unlike mainstream media its still possiblr to see and connect with the unfavoured content and grass roots movements can still form. I would prefer this was all on the fediverse but its not where the people are yet.

The mainstream press, being owned by the mega wealthy, hasn’t exactly been platforming and fair in its reporting of left wing candidates in general. This has now morphed to a strategy by left wind politicians to go directly to their voters on social media. Zack Polensky, the Green party leader in the UK, has drastically improved his parties standing simply by delivering their policies directly on Twitter and other social media. This is quite likely to become the way that left wing politicians operate in the near future. They potentially seek to gain leverage to fairer representation and presence in mainstream media, although that might not even matter given the mass exodus and distrust of the people of those old platforms.

The just stopped working was the client stopped syncing? NextCloud decided to stop allow private made certificates with its client in 2025 and its what made me switch. I went to Syncthing which works well and is a lot faster and less resource intensive than NextCloud. I also had to move my calendars and chat as well.

Takes a little bit of setup on some sites where you want to narrow the text to article headers or such but its a really versatile tool for tracking websites without RSS. What I wish it did a bit differently was how you subscribe to the actual feed and how it presents the changes, I would like to be able to customise that presentation more.

My ISP provides a /48 for IPv6 via prefix delegation so all internal machines that support it have a ULA and DHCPv6. I have disabled SLAAC . In docker I assign a /64 of that prefix to docker containers. The local addresses is what most of the internal network stuff is based on (DNS etc) rather than the globally accessible address. The PD addresses are only about going onto the internet.

SLAAC actually is just fine, I just didn’t really want to be exposing the manufacturer information of the addresses online so preferred DHCP, but either or both together works from OpenWRT prefix delegation.

I have never killed an SSD with wear. I have had their controllers die long before they should (OCZ drives!) but even my original 80GB Intel Gen 1 SSD is still kicking along working happily with about 70% of its wear remaining. All my modern era gen 3 and above drives are still working and nothing below 93%. Its enormously difficult to get SSDs worn out on a desktop or home server.

If someone chooses to do that then yes its a better option, but 4GB of LLM shouldn’t just be shipped in a browser.

Indy and small budget games are where all the innovation in game mechanics is occuring. The AA/AAA industry has become a conveyor belt of ever more expensive graphics on the “omni game” mechanics.

This AI bubble is going to take so much of the economy with it and I can’t help but think we are all going to be paying to keep “too big to fail” businesses that clearly knew it was a bubble but invested anyway because the public would pay if it went side ways.

apt dist-upgrade is a necessary change to your process in place of just upgrade.

Definitely worth waiting a few weeks and letting the post release patches roll through. I tend to start looking at it for my server upgrade about a month after its officially released, anything earlier is usually under heavy updates. IIRC do-release-upgrade on the server releases typically doesn’t even allow upgrades for at least a month.

Or hosting your own services. 25 gbit/s is a lot of potential to scale up to a pretty decent sized web business before you need to get dedicated hosting.

I wish this was just in the USA but numerous countries in the EU handed out billions upon billions to private companies to roll out VDSL and then fibre connections (GPON) and the public owns none of what has been made despite paying for it all and the bonuses on top. Now the higher speeds are grossly more expensive than the old DSL lines used to be and they are turning those all off and getting to pocket the increased prices.

Item 3 is even shovelling more AI into more places. About the only thing that is real in that list is the taskbar being able to be moved, and this was something they have promised would happen since they rewrote the taskbar and crippled its functionality.
