I very much want the story behind this pic.

I am absolutely in awe of the skill of these people, reverse engineering Apple hardware in their free time.

Straight up just defunding schools.

I love this because these are literally my two primary personal computing devices. It’s a kind of yin / yang dualism that I really enjoy.

I had this weird intuition

Absolutely classic music player. The iTunes 1.0 UI pattern, which was pre-enshittification. To my eyes, I still don’t think I’ve ever seen a more overall efficient and descriptive way of browsing a local music library.

I don’t know what the conditions are inside, but I’m assuming that people need light in there to work, and that if it’s designed to be disaster or attack resistant, there would be a need for climate control, ventilation and flooding mitigation. I get that the venue is chosen because it should keep everything frozen and preserved, it just depends how fragile / robust they’ve built it.

But I wondered because I can see light coming from inside and it looks like there’s a fancy light show on it.

I wonder what the power source for that vault is.

I use passkeys through 1Password and it’s vastly less irritating to me than anything involving passwords, especially 2fa. I really don’t like having to wait for email to arrive or copying down digits from a text message, which seems to be how 2fa typically works 90% of the time.

When people are free to choose the best editor for them, we ALL win.

Just wanted to share some love for this filesystem.

I’ve been running a btrfs raid1 continuously for over ten years, on a motley assortment of near-garbage hard drives of all different shapes and sizes. None of the original drives are still in it, and that server is now on its fourth motherboard. The data has survived it all!

It’s grown to 6 drives now, and most recently survived the runtime failure of a SATA controller card that four of them were attached to. After replacing it, I was stunned to discover that the volume was uncorrupted and didn’t even require repair.

So knock on wood — I’m not trying to tempt fate here. I just want to say thank you to all the devs for their hard work, and add some positive feedback to the heap since btrfs gets way more than it’s fair share of flak, which I personally find to be undeserved. Cheers!
