I'm really curious to hear how this shirt project turns out. Do you have a blog going on anywhere?

This source alone - Multiple ads. Overlays. Subscribe nags. What appear to be more clickbait ads. (Yes, I know Adblock exists. That isn't the point.) The way the web is these days, I think I'm actually ok with AI eating it. Using

This is the first I've heard of this and search results have been fruitless. Where can I find more info on this?

From folks I've talked to in real life, it really does seem that way. They're getting their information from Facebook but it's mixed in with the "5G towers are killing all the bees" and the usual anti-vaccine rhetor

Something here about water usage, a small data center, and a swimming pool. Combining the three may either be awesome or tragic! I like this idea. A small cage in an apartment complex would be a huge selling point. Or even a La La Land on t

The funny thing about Tupperware is that some of us have their products from many many years ago and they still work great. I think we've had the same iced tea pitcher since I was 5 years old, for example. Solid. Will we be able to say

Linux will be exempt for now. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them try to slip it through later. Legislators in California have learned over the years, and have carved out exemptions in bills such as gun control bills to get it p

It's been disappointing to see that Toyota, a brand I once trusted, has slipped into spyware/nagware like this. All for the purpose of later selling advertisements. Do we get a discount at the dealer for this "feature?"

I used to joke that we had "Security through Stupidity" - everything was so half-baked that no intruder would think we were being serious.

yet somehow after all these years... Fark is still the same. It has managed to avoid the onslaught of bots. At least to some extent. I'm amazed it's still around. Metafilter too, although it seems to have a LOT fewer comments nowa

This was a lot of fun to see, especially part 3 where it boots up. Us older guys (me, anyway) still find joy in seeing these old machines we learned our skills on being restored like this. Thanks for posting this one. good find.

I'm over 50 now and feel like this as well. Haven't used Claude yet but used Codex a bunch, and it's been SO MUCH fun going over all the old perl & shell scripting stuff that I used to do years ago before I got into healt

As another paramedic that has worked in Texas, they are absolutely correct. What we lack in EMS is the same qualified immunity that law enforcement continues to have.

We have probably 30 of these within 10 miles and it's great. Perfect excuse to go for a walk, get a book, read it, and then return it to one of the others.

They know this, and they know the technology just isn't there. But that's their goal - to make gun ownership as difficult and expensive as possible. I think they've learned from the anti-gun lobbyists and are now pushing to e

Same, and I was starting to feel kind of strange doing anything in html/php in 2026 but then I looked at everything else and realized I'd have to start from scratch again. Plain ol' HTML has worked great.

Same here. While Liquid Glass might be a bit distracting, I don't remember the last time I had an app crash. It's been quite a while. 26.1 fixed a lot of the buggy/laggy feeling too.

I am the same, self-hosting for many years and while I have the occasional question about it, it's easily corrected. I now have a short .com domain I use because my .fyi one was even more confusing to people, and simply didn't wor

We have HomeConnect on our new Thermador appliances. I actually went ahead and installed the iOS app and brought everything into Homebridge. (thinking about switching to Home Assistant, though...) One of the big reasons that I did it is so

I see a fair amount of that here in Sacramento. People having block parties, chairs out in the driveways, etc. One of the newer neighborhoods in the area seems like it was designed with this in mine as well. ' It's been a lot of f

This is awesome. Thanks! Sensible, easy to use, easy to understand the results. I've been trying the google one, for example, and it doesn't even work. "request timed out." Fishy, because yours works great. much apprecia

Add increased labor costs and your profit margin for late night coffee drops significantly. Add a safety factor, and it becomes a more cost effective option to reduce hours. We've been seeing that here in my Northern California city fo

I've been a paramedic for a long time and I completely agree with this. Years ago I may have been against something like MAID, but once I got into healthcare and especially this job, I now fully support it. It's something that I w

I did look into something like that, and someone did accomplish it with a similar model. https://1projectaweek.com/blog/2022/2/8/converting-a-carro-h... I also realized that the skill necessary to accomp

Rogue reminds me of the Zork series. A simple text interface with your own imagination. The best GUI ever.

I loved the days when people could/would set up webcams like this. Just to see outside and share it with others. They're getting so much harder to find. This is quite relaxing, I agree. Here's a couple from Pacifica, CA for y
