Interesting writeup! Today I learned about TCXO. If anyone else are curious, that component cost about $2 per piece.

I guess that is a valid interpretation. I was thinking about tech and maths, not "everyday life". "Life" is also a skill that needs practice.

I want to learn it all... But what will happen is that I use my working days writing code/producing software, evenings to make dinner and be with family, and nights gaming with fri…

Fascinating and well written article!

ChatGPT will happily generate coloring pages.

What is the difference between this, and a LLM query like 'make a coloring page with a fluffy cat made of hearts'?

Factorio. As a developer, I'd never thought I'd like to solve for getting off the planet, fighting monsters, building trains and tracks while trying not to pollute too much.

I haven't had any checklist for a couple of months, due to holidays and so on. Earlier I've tried various formats; post-it, small notebooks, notes, paper, trello, notes (iPhone) an…

Thank you for noticing me :) My interests are many, maybe too many. In tech, I'm interested in native systems programming, at the moment with C++. Outside of tech, I do quite a bit…

I believe I can do and build anything, but I'm out of juice. Working as a consultant, but no extra energy or will to create anything outside of work. Kids are getting bigger, and I…

If boredom is fun... is it boredom then? /s PS: the phone tried to autocorrect "boredom" to "Boston". Any truth to that? :)

Thanks. RT-AC5300 is End of Life, but there are other wireless routers that are also EOL mentioned in your link. https://www.asus.com/event/network/EOL-product/

It seems like RT-AC5300 is not affected, this time? And it does seem like it's not supported by OpenWRT either?

Will OO-shutup stop this nagging? Other two cents; when installing Windows, to skip Microsoft account creation / setting up ann internet connection, use shift-f10 to open a termina…

I am Norwegian, and I use (running) shoes with ice spikes when conditions are icy, even though I'm just going to the store. Currently I'm happy with Icebug shoes; https://icebug.co…

Does anyone know what is the equivalent for TortoiseGit in Windows? What path should go into gitdir if the repos are at S:\Repos\ ?

I've got the same setup. SSG and free tier on Netlify. The only "free" metric is bandwidth usage. I paid for stats for a while, but it was depressingly low. But I'm chugging along …

Not sure if I should publish my "blog" here or not. It's been in a hiatus the last 6-7 years due to life and because I don't "feel" qualified to publish anything. Anyhow, lately th…

Try Consent-O-Matic instead of IDCAC. It is possible to reject consent instead of blindly accepting them with IDCAC... and also the Avast thing

I was searching for this (ironic) idea, and both DuckDuckGo and Google kept it well hidden. I thought it was a story submitted before on HN, but it was a comment. https://news.ycom…

> The downside is you can spend 80+ hours tracking down a bug that results in a one line change (don’t ask me how I know). We don't need to ask, we've all been there :)

I've been trying to get podman working with vscode and the docker extension for a while now... Only to find out yesterday I had to downgrade the extension due to differences betwee…

I remember changing the weight of some of the cars in the game, making Stella a 20 ton beast. It was not fun when you played against the modded cars. I got totally crushed when I f…

Is it just me, or does the site make Firefox on iOS go haywire?
