Incus is fantastic. I think Proxmox is where everyone is migrating to after the VMWare/Broadcom fiasco, but people should seriously consider Incus as well.

When the UK was in the EU, hardly anyone I know voted in the EU elections, and equally they weren't covered by the media. I believe there was so little interest in the EU elections and it felt so far removed from the uk that I'm n

I always thought a police state would demand identification at every street corner (perhaps I'm wrong?) and any minor breaking of the law being dealt with severe justice. The UK has always been against a "state ID" unlike a

A properly designed app would leverage multi threading to place any long running jobs in the background, allowing the user to carry on with other tasks. Spinners should not exist in a local first app.

I'm in my mid-40's and I'm in the best shape of my life. However it's taken a lot of hard work and sacrifice, that I weirdly enjoy: * Cooking all meals from scratch (I try and reduce UPFs as much as possible). * No brea

LLMs work on tokens. There's no reason those tokens can't be something other than text.

It does make me sad that in 2025 we still don't have an open real-time chat service. IRC was too janky for widespread use... Everything else that has come after it hasn't been able to reach the "network effect". Too many

Really inspiring thankyou. Although I've not used it, I've heard good things about Khan Academy... Which is aimed at kids/teenagers but would cover any core principles you might be missing: https://www.khanacademy.

Zero days can go for $$$, or you can go down the bug bounty route and also get $$. The cost of the LLM would be a drop in the bucket. When the cost of inference gets near zero, I have no idea what the world of cyber security will look like

3. Focus on leveraging AI to solve real world problems. You don't need to deep dive into the maths. You'll need to understand the limitations, the performance bottlenecks, etc. RAGs, Vector DBs, etc

It feels like all those hacktivists moved to Discord... Which is even more "locked away" than Reddit. I miss the old skool php web forums.

Same. At 40 I simply can't expend any of my limited time or energy with games, when I could be doing something productive/wholesome (which for me is lifting weights, reading and learning). It's a shame as I used to love playi

They are not humans - so yeah I can totally see having to "go to school" to learn how to interact with them.

Prompt engineering is a thing. Learning how to "speak llm" will give you great results. There's loads of online resources that will teach you. Think of it like learning a new API.

Most days I feel the same. Other days I remember that humans like "handmade" furniture, and live performances, and unique styles, and human contact. Perhaps there's life in us still?
