imagine if Microsoft made it impossible to install apps outside of its windows app store, no would accept that, so why do we accept it for mobiles OS’s

I felt like Apple was going down that route. You have to jump through so many hoops to run programs that aren’t signed by one of their $99/y certificates.

The final drop for me when I was unable to remove Music.app. it’s on a shadowed read-only partition that rebooting updates write to. Extra many hoops to unlock the same to do changes to it (that might make stuff flaky).

I use my dog’s name as password for my WiFi.

Ed&1e.78x!

We call him Eddie for short.

I wonder if those DevOps cost $72M/h.

Otherwise I have an idea that might save AWS some money.

What’s next? Soon you won’t be allowed to call it baby oil unless it’s made from real babies.

On a more serious note, I did order a “flexi” burger at Max by mistake. I thought it was a gateway burger with one patty replaced by halloumi. All I got was veg.

GPT has been quite hit and miss for me, but Claude is usually quite solid.

It needs micromanaging, otherwise it will do bad design decisions and go off on unrelated side quests. When micromanaged it’ll get you to that MVP very fast.

The trap is that you need to be able to find the errors it makes, or at least call them out immediately. Trying to have co-pilot fix it’s own mistakes is usually a neverending prompt-cycle.

It can summarise big code bases fast, and find how things fit together a lot faster than me. It’s been very useful when being thrown in head first into a new project.

It’s been a while since I meddled with FreeBSD. It shouldn’t be hard - it’s just a web stack with some command line ffmpeg. I think the only thing that might be a challenge is hardware encoding.

There are sweet docker images, but I guess they might require virtualization on FreeBSD.

Plex bad. Jellyfin good.

I thought we solved this for good in the 80s?

I guess that particular question didn’t age so well.

Get your own domain. Don’t host your own.

I’ve had the same domain on gmail, proton and now purelymail.

I went over to purelymail, but it’s in .us

It’s not fancy encrypted like proton, but it’s very affordable and straight forward to set up for your own domains.

This is more like that incel who repulsed girls in high school, and is now in his 40s

Don’t forget that he used to be a moderator of r/jailbait

Over in Sweden it would be hard to replicate these results. Gasoline is ~18SEK/l ($7.5 per gallon).

My electricity production cost changes by the hour, so I can steer my cost by charging when it’s costs are low. Taxes and transfer costs give me a minimum of about $0.07/kWh. A smart charger that picks when to charge based on price can probably average you a cost of $0.10/kWh over the year.

Three years ago, I bought my wife a laptop with Windows 10 to replace her 10yo windows 7 machine.

It had hardware issues out of the box, and went in on two repairs. It works fine now, AFAIK.

But, she still doesn’t trust it, and she doesn’t think that she can move her Adobe CS6 license over to it…

I even bought her the affinity suite.

I’m starting to think she’ll never move on from Windows 7.

I think the major browsers stopped supporting it sometime during the last year, so my best hope is that some included certificates will eventually make her favourite websites stop working. That has to force her over to something more recent… right?

I use arch, btw.
