    I rebuilt my PII system last year and really wanted to run SAH on it for old time's sake but sadly that hasn't been possible for a long time. I miss watching that old screensaver a…

    I recently picked up a Threadripper 3960x, 256GB DDR4 and RTX2080ti 11GB running Debian 13 and open web-ui w/ ollama. It runs well, not much difference to Claude etc but still lear…

    As a neurodiverse British person I tend to communicate more directly than the average English speaker and I find LLM's manner of speech very off-putting and insincere, which in som…

    welcome to the 4 digit club! I'm on day 1,360 and still today gaining new insights into my drinking habits and learning more about myself without it.

    I had a dog, then kids and now just got a puppy and I think there is perhaps some truth to it, dogs are certainly much much lower effort/stress/cost but provide a good amount of co…

    I used Tiddlywiki for years, never stopped liking it but eventually migrated to LogSeq which fit my note-taking style better. Looks like things have moved on since then though so I…

    Games that start with the Bongcloud attack are fun to watch if only for the facial expressions that follow.

    I've only seen this happen when the plug was fitted badly (pinched or damaged wires inside the plug) or someone use a nail in place of the fuse. People do stupid things like that a…

    My wife is a huge Disney fan and I accepted my fate years ago that eventually we will take our kids to Disney world when they are the optimal ages to get the most out of it. That t…

    I met my wife at 21, married at 32, I was a hard sceptic about marriage in my 20's after seeing my parents divorce in my late teens, they married too early and I didn't want to mak…
