Love mailbox.org. Had it for 5 years at this point. I have a custom domain, and a wildcard address, so anything before @ goes to my inbox. So whenever I sign up for anything I use a unique email. This way I know both where mails are coming from, and can easily block any compromised email addresses, and update my password. Good stuff!

Definitely has become more expensive, but I assume this is intel trying to sell units to consumers with existing systems that otherwise would not be upgrading, due to the cost of moving to a DDR5 platform.

WINE is not an emulator.

Anecdotal: I have wanted to replay a game that was a core part of my childhood. It was only really popular in Scandinavia. Nothing I’ve tried in the past many years worked (to be fair, it was also beyond my skillset). Couple days ago I just gave AI the task to make the game work under wine. Couple hours later and I’m playing it on Linux without issue. Even discovered and patched two bugs related to video decoding in wine to make it work. I would not find anyone else with the interest to make this game work I think!

Agree. With homelab being a hobby but time being a scarce resource; with AI I’m able to get past the things I hate that are mundane and that I would never find time to improve while still doing the things I enjoy with the hobby.

Also working in a job where there were never enough resources to do the tasks that were high priority, meant we also never improved on technical debt. Now that has turned: we are able to use AI assistance to deliver a higher throughput while fixing more tech debt. Just a different take than the “AI produces low quality code” position.

Totally with you on that. I would not live anywhere else than Nordic countries myself. The rain also makes you appreciate the sun a lot, when it’s finally there.

As a person from Scandinavia, “perfect weather” sure is a relative concept. See: Bergen.

I find SSD for images on Immich not to be needed. Just keep thumbnails and database on ssd and you won’t notice the “lag” opening the detailed image from HDD. At least HDDs are cheap(er than SSDs)

And gynecologists. I remember seeing a news segment when they were discontinued that interviewed one, and she was bummed out.

NOYB (non of your business) is great! Not so much a primary news site, but an Austrian NGO that focuses on data privacy in the EU. They have taken some of the biggest cases related to EU:US data transfers against the EU.

Moving to a new house soon where it will be in a rack, but this is the current setup. Mini pc for opnsense, UPS and server. Behind that the spaghetti includes a kvm, switch and AP.

As a parent: 100% agree
