That guy in the corner meme here…

Not a sysadmin, but a programmer. My work machines have been:

• 2003-2008 Windows 7
• 2008-2011 Ubuntu
• 2011-2019 Arch
• 2019-2024 NixOS

Probably going to keep using NixOS. This is a very cool OS.

Yeah. Although what if half of the country is intolerant? What then? Divide the country into two?

Been watching a movie per day for quite a long time now. There are many great ones. Just watch all the genres from all over the world and from different decades, you’ll find them.

Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won’t stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.

A big monitor with 100% AdobeRGB is going to be very very expensive. And if you want it to be 65", you just can’t find them…

And it is a monitor, meant to be watched from a close distance. It will not be such a great experience for movies and such.

That is correct.

That thing which makes Meta and Apple so scared they do not release their new products in AI anymore in the EU to pressure us to loosen up the laws. That has already been costly to these companies.

That prevents Paypal from doing this change in the EU.

The law that has been awesome so far.

The winning strategy for us who do not want to gamble but save some extra for our retirement is to stop looking at the daily values, and invest the same amount monthly to a low cost ETF, such as VUAA.

Now, the S&P 500 has been coming up about seven percent yearly if you look into it for a longer period of time. Repeating the monthly investment until you retire is a good way to get enough to retire comfortably.

Yeah, the perks of the Android ecosystem. There’s also a version for Android TV such as NVIDIA Shield. Again just works and filters out ads and sponsor segments.

I’ve been using this one for years, which filters out ads and sponsor segments:

Only for Android though. If you use iOS, switch to Android and you’ll also get a really Firefox browser with ublock origin that blocks all the ads compared to that 30something% what every iOS browser does.

Rust and Cargo enters the room.

It is also not really beer.

A random hacker news comment. I’m in EU, where this kind of tracking is not legal, so I cannot validate…

If it is a Samsung tv, they have been automatically connecting to any open wifi, maybe your neighbor has one. And there goes the data.

Avoid Samsung.

Autechre’s NTS Sessions. All of them work great, but start with the fourth one.

We’ve been using Linear in my latest company and it is actually quite good. No bullshit fast UI, boards, issues linking with Git, a support that can take a feature request that is often implemented in a week or two after asking it.

Just need to ranch them up.

Every christmas…
