    Anecdotal data coming in hot. I use Siri daily for controlling HomeKit devices. She's not always on point though. I've named a light basically "Radiohouse", because that's what the…

    Well, I may be an oddball, but I never really find myself having the need for snapshots, I have a tendency to not really delete files. Once upon a time i recall Dropbox having vers…

    I don’t know, it’s my workstation so everything is in Dropbox/Onedrive/Github/Gitlab, making the machine itself ephemeral… Come to think of it I should probably get a NAS and mirro…

    Fedora is really good though. I’ve daily driven Windows, MacOS and Linux, Fedora is by far the best developer experience I’ve had so far. But then again, I tend to setup my devbox …

    Well, I once got a notice from Hetzner, that I needed to either stop running or harden some random open service I wasn't aware of running on my dedi box (I may have forgotten to in…

    Maybe it’s not the engineers that need to grow up, but the indecisive product people incapable of sticking to their principles for more than a week at a time. That statement may be…

    Hibernate is not just for laptops though. I have a workstation with 128G of memory, and it’s annoying that the file allocates the full 128G even though i may only be using like 32G…

    Pretty anoying when you have more than 64G of memory though.

    I think you’re right, and even though it scares me a lot seeing my portfoilio down like this, I still try to see it as an opportunity to buy at a discount. It means I have to hold …

    Wow, had not read that before. It seems really offensive to ordinary programmers that just want to get stuff done. I also find my peak productivity when using the .NET ecosystem, w…

    Building without VS is actually really easy with the dotnet cli, and msbuild was also doable. But now a days you get a long way just doing a: dotnet build

    Even smaller nit: Isn't it basically two sides of the same coin in this context? I'm not sure what the intent was in the previous post, but it could just as well be from the perspe…

    I’m not saying my insurer uses AI, but I recently had two dental claims processed entirely automatically by just providing invoices, and answering some questions online. This is in…
