I'm blocking the Amazon search crawler, anything coming from Googleusercontent, and limiting AI crawlers to search rather than allowing AI assistants. The residential proxy waves a…

My Raspberry Pi 4 has been used to run both a Jitsi and Trackmania server over the years. I never considered using the SD card since it can boot and run from a USB 3 flash drive. L…

Played around with it a bit this morning. It ships as an AppImage and the launcher opened a browser that allowed me to create an account and bounced me back to the launcher to log …

Anyone in their late 30s or early 40s should be grateful. We got to be stupid teenagers on the internet without any of it going on our permanent record.

A couple of years back I was trying to search a project's Discord for help after they noped their forums. It was a bad enough experience that I set up a forum on my website that ev…

I hope that's the case. Seeing Steam Controller reservations pushed into 2027 tempers my optimism.

I was expecting $1200 for the base model, so $1,049 without a controller is nice to see. Having to enter a lottery to buy one makes it feel like Valve doesn’t have new stock in the…

Tech leaders from this era will not be remembered well.

And XFree86 before that.

I compiled it on Debian 13 and it works with XFCE4. Granted, things are a bit squirrely until you disable the compositor. No luck getting it to play nicely with LightDM so I ended …

“You hear nonprofit and think distributed governance.” Not any more (or less) than I think a BDFL.

I've resorted to lowering the quality of my recordings because of this. People are fantastically bad at discerning AI from properly produced audio. So now I leave in a couple of br…

I'm still a bit perturbed that shortly after acquiring Psyonix, Epic killed off the native Linux client and pulled Rocket League from Steam. We had a great little community that go…

They are powerful little devices. I used a Pi Zero 2 with an ethernet adapter to host an x86 TrackMania² server using BOX64 and it never had a problem. Only swapped it out recently…

These projects are really neat. Last week, I was able to build (and play) the Xbox 360 release of Sonic Unleashed on a couple of ARM SBCs using Sonic Unleashed Recomp.

Is there anything (technically) preventing SBC manufacturers adding SODIMM slots? I was expecting the Milk V Titan to avoid this memory nonsense since it has two unpopulated DDR4 s…

If I could smash a button and get a 1:1 copy of my existing site, I’d do it in a heartbeat. I don’t see that happening just yet due to the integrated forum software and its own plu…

It's 3.60 MB with NoScript enabled.

I exhausted my teenage savings to buy the Voodoo 1 due to the Linux support. Granted, I was running Red Hat at the time so the installation consisted of installing what, two RPMs? …

Ah, this might explain the traffic from Kagi a week or so ago. I've been scratching my head over that one. I just checked, and my wee little blog is listed in smallweb.txt. Neat! C…
