Sick. Particularly stoked for the 10gb network card ($100 option) when using the Mac Mini as a server. Just wish the memory + NVMe prices could come back down to pre ai-goldrush prices. As $2999 for the M5 Pro with 64GB RAM feels painfully

Very cool lightning->USB-C case. Does the internal lightning connector last well or does it die after a few months?

Top comment/thread in this topic is about Synthesisers which great. But focussing on the watch; does anyone know if they integrate with Apple Fitness?

Meta = Dystopian Nightmare Disguised as Photo Sharing and Life Updates :-( It’s taken 2 decades for most people to realise this but “Zuck” is a Bond Villain.

People who are payed by taxes should all be required to use time-tracking apps and justify their time. This is smells of abusing a broken system for personal gain.

Very simple: just block all Meta domains at your local DNS. Nobody needs Meta. And if there is something you desperately need to see on one of their platforms temporarily switch your DNS.

Author doesn't give any concrete examples of where Claude 5 Opus was "rude". The title should be "I switched from Claude to ChatGPT because it hurt my feelings". Super subjective.

Don’t think anyone except Peter Thiel and Hasbro will argue that Monopoly is a good thing. ;-) SpaceX has made the investments/innovation to better-serve the satellite internet market that already had players in it; HughesNet, Viasat,

“Juice?” As in they have the best product by a wide margin and are charging a totally fair price for it that reflects demand. Nobody flying private cares about the price of Starlink. It’s worse if they are squeezing people in underserved r

100% looks like a BYD/Hyundai; the front (exterior) is hideous. Surely this isn't the production version of the vehicle? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Makes sense. Great use of the Switch controller for flight sim! Sounds like you’ve got your system dialed in. ;-) For others who cannot live without Bluetooth on their main machine, consider a USB Bluetooth adapter. see: https://

This announcement thread really isn’t the place to discuss or debate the data. The OP stated they couldn’t find any data to compare the relative security of Linux vs. OpenBSD. CVEs are independently, objectively verifiable and provable da

Is the code you ran on your OpenBSD available (e.g. on GitHub) for others to test? Curious what async issue you faced, did you report it? Or ask for help addressing?

Yeah, time is finite and fleeting and the older I get the faster it seems to go! As a teen I had infinite time to compile Linux and debug stuff. Now I just want to spend time with family/outdoors and not be stuck in a windowless room n

Ah, losing the 2.4ghz USB dongle ... Sucks. Feel you. :-( Wireless Earbuds/Headphones are a legit use case. (Still use bluetooth with iPhone every day, sadly, still addicted to the convenience of AirPods ...) But I've got decent w

You are correct; OpenBSD is secure by default. And it's not subjective at all. The homepage of https://www.openbsd.org proudly states "Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!" if th

100%. I put off learning/using OpenBSD for a decade until a breach at a client (we weren’t responsible for DevOps/SysAdmin) made me pick it up because I don’t have time to be a full-time Linux Sysadmin anymore. Just want the ser

Qubes OS uses the Linux kernel. Without wanting to start a flame-war and with all respect to Linux, it’s not even close. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBSD_security_features

Ah, we have all connected via Ethernet. Side-stepped the WiFi issue. ;-) But have read of others successfully navigating it.

FreeBSD has the same roots as OpenBSD but the former has a “compatibility” focus whereas the latter has the security focus. Having a background in security, the choice was obvious for me. But each person/org should decide based on thei

How long did what take? Learning the essentials of OpenBSD, budget 4-6hours. Switching over servers from Ubuntu, an hour for the first one then 10mins each after that. You can copy config with your favourite tools; most have ports for OpenB

We use OpenBSD for our VPSes on Hetzner, bare metal (for security focussed clients) and older (but still good) hardware in our Home Lab. OpenBSD is excellent on older (no longer supported by Cupertino) Apple hardware. We have an Intel Mac M

With all the security issues constantly being uncovered in other Operating Systems - which will only accelerate with Ai - it’s time everyone considers OpenBSD. Their decades-long security-focus is second to none. We have fully converted f

OpenBSD for the layer where you need the highest security. We use it for hosting our Postgres clusters. You could easily use it for your VPS. There is a learning curve. But if you’re already comfortable with Linux you’ll pick it up in a few
