Small computers are more powerful than you think, if used properly. I stick with a bunch of containers instead of VMs and it all just hums along nicely on a Raspberry Pi 5.
Pi-Hole running all the time barely registers as a workload.

If you liked em dashes, you’ll love ligatures.


On top of all the damage AI unleashed into the world, there’s that: it ruined em dash for people who appreciate typography.


Are you sure about that? They sure exhibit a distinct lack of humanity.
That was a long watch, but worth it.
I missed some of the aspects discussed in the video when playing through Soma the first time, because I was expecting Amnesia like scary monsters.
Guess I’ll have to play it again.
Richard Dean Anderson? I think he’s more of a C4 kind of guy.
IIRC, Caldera also had a Tetris clone in the installer, so you could play while it installed itself.
The Trump administration will hopefully be replaced in January 2029, and up to then, it’s not unlikely Dems take back the congress in 2026.
“The emperor does not share your optimistical appraisal of the situation.”
At this point it seems simple for Trump to hold on to power like all the other cleptocratic dictators have done. You already have military on your streets and paramilitary forces cleaning the unwanted elements.
I hope you are right and I’m wrong.


Today I asked AI to remove all the lines in a file that had some string in them.
It worked. I felt awful thinking how much power I wasted doing that when I could have just read the man page of sed or awk.
I did, and it was ridiculously easy to do what I needed with a fraction of the power. And I got some nice knowledge to go with it, that I proceeded to add to my aliases file.
I’m not afraid of AI. I have a local instance to play with. The technology is just too wasteful and fallible as it stands today.
Copperplate Gothic.
Just kidding, I don’t have one but would love some suggestions.


I was expecting Comic Sans.
I’m old enough to remember UML (User Mode Linux). I don’t know if it’s still around, but it was a port of the Linux kernel that you would run as a standard user binary.
Just checked, my local llama.cpp instance is still up. No, you can’t use it.


I see what you mean, and I have that (old PC with a bunch of 2.5" HDDs formatted as ZFS).
For me power consumption is more important than performance, so I’m looking for a lower power solution for photo sharing, music collection and backups.


Just another reason not to buy earbuds. You are sticking a fairly large amount of power inside your ear.


I’m ready for the return to webrings.


My opinion is that YouTube became an unusable mess, and I avoid it as much as possible. I guess that’s enshittification at work.
I don’t think it would be much use other than emulated computers/consoles/arcades.
I heard about Fex for x86 emulation, but never tried it myself.
