It is harder to install fiber in densely populated areas than in some backcountry farm. Imagine tearing open a busy street in NYC for a few weeks to install fiber vs. digging a tre…

You seem to be mixing up e2e encryption with at-rest-encryption? If you have a server in your homelab where you self-host I mich just encrypt the hard drive with LUKS.

We had fathers day on May 14th :)

Hyperscalers buy so many CPUs and so much RAM they can dictate prices (to a point) or at least make an agreement to buy at a much lower price but buy X amount for the next 5 years.…

On mice.

It's ironic that the country that screams freedom loudest is actually not that free after all.

I believe this is what that teamlead in the article comments on as next steps?

Yes, although to be fair we have around 1.8kWp, plus roof installation material, plus shipping.

Hi, sorry I'm late to respond. The price was something like this: 150€ Hoymiles HMS-800W-2t 300€ 4 Trina Solar 445W Full Black panels 100€ Shelly Pro 3em (not necessary but I wante…

I live in Germany, installed a micro solar system in September 2024. Since then, we've been producing 45% of our electricity consumption ourselves. This has saved us 550€, while th…

Why would I ever want to book a course with someone who just realized weeks ago they don't know if the code does what they want if they don't look at it?

What's wrong with the Thinkpad T series?

Great, let's just require biometric identification before posting online, what could go wrong.

Does that mean that you also don't switch to newer Anthropic models? Because they would change similarly, wouldn't they?

You're right, I didn't pay attention there. Still seems that there a many solutions better suited than S3. Probably a classic case of "We need an MVP fast, let's optimize later".

Exactly, my first thought was "Why in earth would anyone think that S3 was the right service to store millions of tiny ephemeral files?" and now it seems they have invented their o…

The propaganda machine is called X and he bought it to brainwash people, so don't feel to bad about it. Good that you realized!

To be honest I have never used Cursor nor do I know their pricing, but isn't revenue kind of a stupid metric if you're just a frontend for a paid API? Like wouldn't almost all of t…

The only thing missing is replacing the head of the federal reserve bank with a mindless puppet so they stop standing in the way of success (inflation).

I just get downgraded to 2.5 Flash after like three prompts and can't seem to find an option to switch back. So much for "60 requests per minute are free".

It is a fungus that is harmless for humans, so I assume not that much. Of course it is always dangerous to artificially mess with an ecosystem. It has backfired more often than it …

That is not my experience with AliExpress. I usually just got my money back when I complained.
