The difference between fiber module and RJ45 is massive. I found it funny that Ubiquity own switches (at least my Enterprise 8 PoE - the one they call "vintage" - I kid you not) will set the fan default to 35 (whatever that value

A hidden cost of self-hosting. I love self-hosting and run tons of services that I use daily. The thought of random hardware failures scares me, though. Troubleshooting hardware failure is hard and time consuming. Having spare minipcs is ex

I am not sure it's meant to be a negative thing. Obviously, a lot depends on the context here. But, I've developed a dozen or so projects with Claude code. I am meant to be the only user. I am maintaining a homelab setup (homelab

I noticed some of my hybrid repositories were slow on regular git commands (eg log) and running garbage collection manual resolved it. Perhaps, jj created a lot of unreachable objects?

I really loved jujutsu for the few weeks that I used it. However, I did find all my tools that rely on Git (eg Gitlab CLI that can open merge request from the current branch) breaking because JJ operations result in detached head in Git. In

Cline is a great alternative to Cursor if you are not willing to switch over to another (forked) editor. However, it's baffling to me that by default Cline ignores `pkg/` folder that is common in Go projects. Check this issue - h

I use syncthing to sync from paperless data folder which runs on Kubernetes (k3s). It's a one-way sync. Paperless is the authoritative location. The only reason I back up to Google drive is so that my phone has easy access to the docum

I ran over a 1000 searches as an early adopter last month and this is a welcome change. I also notice how often I search for the same thing over and over, or use product name searches using Kagi as a gateway. I think this shows how poor my

On a scale where one extreme is buying a refractometer to optimize every last aspect of coffee making, and the other end is instant coffee from Lidl, there is a wide range in the middle. V60, Aeropress (only one needed, but I like both for

I actually had a lot of fun playing Stadia games. I think FPS and reaction type games are not it's strengths, but some third person action / adventure games have been super fun. Sometimes I forgot it was not running games locally.

I went to see his live performance in Amsterdam a few years back. The show had been postponed due to back injury but it ended up happening a year later, and it was mesmerizing.

I love the experience of firing some adventure games on my Macbook, grabbing the controller and chilling on the sofa. My xbox one x and a 4k screen in the office room, but I can't be bothered to sit in the chair and wait until everythi

It says it right there in the article. > Apple’s chip-development group, led by Johny Srouji, decided to make the switch after Intel’s annual chip performance gains slowed. Apple engineers worried that sticking to Intel’s road map would

I agree! You know what takes it to the next level? Sticky keys! Accessibility feature in macos where modal / control keys will "stick" for the next keypress (non-modal / control) and then release. Double tap will stick i

I found that living with a native English speaker in the same house does teach you a lot of intricacies of the language - pronunciation and grammar. However, it's a deep territory of diminishing returns. In Europe, everyone's Engl

wrt point 2. I always assumed that it's not only chip performance or efficiency, but ecosystem and software compatibility that's a larger issue. It's not trivial to port x86 software to ARM, or even run an energy efficient em

A year or so ago I had an issue with my one year old pair of headphones (QC35 II). They wouldn't turn properly on anymore (light goes on, but no sound). Reached out to the support. They asked to do basic troubleshooting. After everythi

I damaged my shin bones because I was running too much too soon and currently taking 2 months break. Side note, I used to run 20k every week, then stopped. Be careful of the problem on the opposite side of the spectrum: your body might not

It's near impossible to enter autobahn without a car or other motorized vehicle. I am not sure what kind of road the victim was following but it surely wouldn't compare to autobahn. Was it a highway with free entrance for bicycles

It was unusable for me too, afaik it had to do with scaling more than anything else, so if you toy around with scaling factors it might help.

Thanks! I should mention that my interest is in workings of everyday things: cars, engines, fridges, etc. I assumed that most of these are some sort of combination of electrial, mechanical engineering and thermodynamics being a small part o
