I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

Doesn’t work for signing in to web sites or apps.

I’m on this bandwagon. Have my own keyboard (literally just finished soldering and 3D printing one) and still have to have the Apple keyboard cluttering my desk for biometrics). Have been thinking abo…

Neat. I just started using bun as my default "batteries included" JavaScript engine, so it's nice they're getting this boost.

This is pretty awesome, regardless when it was originally done.

PSA: Claude can also use .github/copilot-instructions.md If you're using VSCode, that is automatically added to context (and I think in Zed that happens as well, although I can't verify…

I must confess I clicked through hoping to see a comic of Garfield the cat using pizza slices to approximate right triangles.

At last, one of my uses for https://github.com/rcarmo/ground-init is gone.

Ironically, most people I know are now using alternative YouTube front-ends not for the ad blocking, but just for tracking their subscriptions in a proper list and skipping the junk in the home page.

For the time, it was OK. Audiences needed the time to digest some of it.

Dat guitar. It lives rent free in my mind.

I have a site generator that won’t run on workers. Can I just use a storage bucket in Pages and be sure it will survive that migration?
comment
Pretty accurate. I just submitted a link to Dropbox, and the first comment read “isn’t this just SFTP with a pretty UI on top?” https://news.ysimulator.run/item/2045 I suppose th…

That's weird. I've been running it for years and it's been rock solid--but I've done so on Ryzen mini-PCs with very standardized hardware, and am not using it as any kind of deskto…

Best thing we did two years ago was to set up Bazzite on a mini-PC. It’s been flawless.

You should rebuild the Wine environments. Or just use Steam.

Incus has a pretty bare-bones web UI without nary any metrics, which is a bit of a pain when you're trying to track down CPU hogs. Proxmox, on the other hand, makes things very much visible and e…

Still no way to use clound-init for LXCs (apparently). But upgrading from 9.0 on my four servers went fine, zero issues (including ZFS).

* Node-locked (up to 2 machines) Hard nope.

What is worrying is that distributed systems don’t seem to be that distributed in practice.
comment
Actually, MCP wastes a lot of tokens when compared to regular tool calling. You might not notice it on more trendy models with large contexts, but for those of us trying to use locked down/local&…

This is great. I did a similar thing when my kids were young (revived an old, dead Kawai synth with a Raspberry Pi and sound fonts), but doing it with semi-discrete circuits seems a lot more fun.

iFixit had a kit for the Air. Not sure about other models.

Actually, I use my iPhone with a Remote Desktop app and a Bluetooth keyboard fairly often (as long as I remember to take my HDMI adapter when traveling). It’s perfectly usable for checking your corpor…

This would be a great thing to use with an external display when traveling, but of course it will never happen.

If you have an old Intel MacBook Air, they work beautifully with Linux as well: https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2025/11/05/2200 …
