Codex does this too, I've noticed. LLMs seem to love documenting irrelevant implementation details in what should be user-facing text. I guess because the context is overwhelmingly…

Except on that page there's immediately a claim that isn't backed up by any of the citations, eg: "The hunting-safety effect has been substantial. The non-fatal hunting accident ra…

OP here. I thought this was quite interesting as it's built around the RP2040, using GPIO to communicate with the DS - the firmware is completely open source and reprogrammable via…

This is an awesome idea and really resonates with me. I did something similar for my site: https://stratts.au/_editor/?preview=%2F&file=_site%2Fcontent... You can edit and rebuild …

Daily isn't the only option - you can still get monthly lenses.

The idea of writing a draft on paper, or cutting out squares to prototype layouts on a table, sounds like a nightmare to me. But I never did like pen and paper much and have lived …

I think this is a risk with anything that promotes itself as "unlimited", or otherwise doesn't specify concrete limits. I'm always sceptical of services like this as it feels like …

It was always possible to write large amounts of crappy code if you were motivated or clueless enough (see https://github.com/radian-software/TerrariaClone ). It's now just easier,…

Not only that, but so many people are reluctant to pay for anything so your average installation is chock full of freemium plugins. I've worked on plenty of sites whose admin page …

It is, but OP said you need both a NAS and a mini PC

You don't need a NAS, really. My setup is a second-hand i5-7300U fanless mini-PC I got for $90, 2 x second-hand 4TB HDDs, and 2 x USB 3.5" enclosures. It's messy but it works... I …

Both my wife and I are reluctant to upload our entire photo collection spanning 20+ years to the cloud. Immich has been working really well for us, the experience for her is just a…

It's a spectrum, isn't it? From targeted edits that you approve manually - which I think you can reasonably take credit for - all the way to full blown vibe-coded apps where you're…

> Ubuntu in 2026 is pretty much the same as Ubuntu from 2006. Well, Ubuntu MATE perhaps :) Windows LTSC I find comes pretty close to the less intrusive Windows I remember from the …

Beyond the pricing part of it, just having media that isn't dependent on an external device is so nice. But for TV series in particular, watching on disc is quite clunky after a de…

Making homebrew for the Nintendo DS was how I got into programming in the first place. Devkitpro was too confusing for me back then, so I used something called PALib, essentially a…

But there was (and still is) a flood of amazing indie games. Due to the lower barrier of entry it was just naturally accompanied by a deluge of crap.

GitHub seems to be the worst of both worlds - partially rendered on the server, but then the frontend inexplicably pulls in additional data like... commit messages?? It's a double …

Android already has this strict oversight, in theory, in the form of the Play Store. And yet. Personally I feel much more safe and secure downloading a random app from F-Droid, tha…

My understanding is that the current plans are to implement async in userspace, as part of a broader IO overhaul. This would involve removing async/await as keywords from the langu…
