Out of curiosity, why put "router" in quotes?

There are several different, sometimes overlapping markets for them. Reptile and amphibian keepers use them, along with live plants, to set up a bioactive tank that is relatively s…

Interesting! To join the cavalcade of others sharing their experiences: I first asked it "how big are geckos". It gave me a cool comparison diagram between three gecko extremes (le…

Prior to 2016, he was better. Since then, he regularly posts about Trump, and whatever you think of Trump, those posts are seldom more than random ranting: devoid of substance or i…

I assume you mean Kobo, not Roku?

If you've never played it before, Dark Castle really is worth looking at. Its artwork is incredible even before considering the constraints, and its gameplay holds up remarkably we…

As I scrolled down, one of the animations started and brought up a subscription modal. "Okay, that one would be enraging," I thought, delighted, as I waited for the animation to lo…

Claude's willingness to poke outside of its present directory can definitely be a little worrying. Just the other day, it started trying to access my jails after I specifically tol…

The raft of outages lately (my company was disrupted by I think four last week?) have certainly (and deservedly) created some pent-up frustration. I'm personally frustrated with it…

fish is a bit insonsistent on it. For instance, `git add ` will only autocomplete for modified files. It will also fill in wildcards, e.g. `cat *.txt ` will expand to show all .txt…

ZFS will happilly (and intentionally) gobble up available RAM for ARC. On my 64GB system, ARC is using 42.4GB, but this memory is quickly reclaimable if it's needed. That said, I h…

I've used password-encrypted keys on a Mac plenty of times. It was easy to add them to the SSH agent to not require a password after initial authorization, if that's what I wanted.…

I recently started a blog to document some service migrations and other random musings as I adopt FreeBSD (after a decade-long hiatus). It's fun to write and think about this stuff…
