Damn this VAnessa is hitting my feed with hard topics, I’m not sure whether to subscribe or to block. These top websites only feel worse every day, when I post on twitter and I get 4 likes by accounts that were created 5 minutes ago with racy profile pics it feels obvious. I wonder how larger accounts deal with it. Now that llms have made making these bots mimic humans easy It really makes you want out. I’ve really become a curmudgeon and leaning on rss over the past year, I dont like it, but idk what to do.

This is a crazy theory I did not realize was out there, but damn power just keeps costing more and more. She does not mention it here, but there are many sources of power for the grid that cost vastly different amounts to produce, generally “clean energy” solutions are harder and more expensive to bring online and don’t just turn on and off at the flick of a switch. Anyways, how are the power companies divying this power out to users, do some get preferred rates or supply? My rates just went up for the summer period “temporarily”. Our infrastructure is aging hard to upgrade and needs something done to it. Who’s really going to pay for it, these AI companies are throwing big numbers but do they have any real money? Do they have any real revenue after building out massive data centers filling them with the most expensive hardware? These guys are burning cash like crazy.

seriously cool dumb app that no one asked for but is really creative and unique.

Today I learned that its spelled “Rite of Passage”, and is short for ritual. Mac has so many of these things that are just different, but do not let you reconfigure them and you are stuck with it. copy / paste I don’t get, the 3 times I’ve touched a mac since I was a kid its frustrated me. Is it lock in? or is it them actually thinking this is the right way and you all shall do as we say.

Interesting longhorn storage performance test, author does highlight right away that this is a simulation and not a REAL test. I did not fully understand the storage semantics before reading through this.

This is an important distinction for applications that use sqlite or a tool on top of sqlite such as diskcache. With sqlite it is not recomended to run over nfs due to missing required file locking mechanisms.

Longhorn storage still provides a lot of benefits to these applications as the storage is automatically replicated, if the node that your application is running on goes offline a new pod will start on an existing node. If you have planned downtime, you can cordon and drain a node. Since the data is available in another location you will be able to start a new pod on anther node. barring your PodDisruptionBudget settings, taints, and affinity, this may happen automatically.

If you’re into interesting projects, don’t miss out on obsidian-livesync, created by vrtmrz.

I like syncthing’s project syncthing.

Open Source Continuous File Synchronization

David’s got me looking at Forgejo. I’ve seen a lot of GitHub jumpers just this week, and I’ve been tempted for a long time to self host one anyways, so it might be time. I don’t have hard issues with anything, I just like self hosting my own personal stuff.

On the flipside, I hope this does not turn yet another thing to shit. I lived through the download software from sourceforge and hope you get the right download now button and not the one from the virus ad. I’m not putting my really public/useful projects on a self hosted platform… well not as the only source, I see how that comes off edgy. I like having some trust in the platform. Currently theres a lot of issues with M$ and GitHub using you for your data, but I don’t think injecting virus, malware, bitcoin miners is a worry I have coming from a GitHub release, unless it was put there by the author.

Great list of self hosted markdown editors. Looking for a good one for my wife and family to use that does not look like editing code.

Check out pythops and their project impala.

Justin has such great feeds on his site, I love how the main feeds are so prominant just to the left of the article you are reading. slops in particular feels like a great category. Saving this chat for later, or found it particularly interesting, but don’t really want to make a post about it.

iodine by yarrick is a game-changer in its space. Excited to see how it evolves.

kinda wild, you can chat with an ai bot over a dns request??
