I tried using omp, and really like the interface, but I found it used tokens much much quicker than the Claude cli. Some simple tasks would use all the session tokens in less than an hour, as where I could get easily get 3-4 hours with Claude. Both set to use opus 4.8 auto effort. I tried tweaking the models for agents down to haiku and sonnet in omp, but didn't notice any real difference in the speed tokens were being used.

Checked my Pixel 7 XL Pro and the app is installed and running (Version 1.0.866414232 com.google.android.verifier). I was able to force stop it, and disable it. Will check later to see if reenables itself.

Wonder if the Yogscast Jingle Jam will use v16 in this year's stream. Might stop Duncan crashing so many trains if they're all driving slower backwards.

I've had a Golf from new since 2016. I love it. It's the only car I bought new (only car I've ever bought actually), and wanted one since renting cars when I lived in the UK (had no need to own a car (cycle/public transport), so only rented as needed). I recently started looking for at EVs just to be prepared in a few years and know where things are at, and I honestly doubt I would get an VW car now. Unfortunately, I'm not expecting there to be anything much better, with most companies locking things down more and more, adding more tracking, etc.. Perhaps it'll just be better to buy a several year old EV.

Not ashamed to say that visiting the UK again for the first time in about 12 years, getting some Boots/Tesco/Greggs meal deals was on my to-do list. Something I missed moving to Australia. Not that they are _good_, just that they are so readily available, cheap, and have a lot of choices. Woolworths in AU have started doing premade sandwiches, but they are just bad, and don't come in a deal. I doubt they would even try to hit the A$10 price range if they ever did introduce deals.

Exactly the same. I haven't played an Persona game but hear it come up on some podcasts and wanted to try it out. In fact, P5R is on sale right now for 80% off and would happily pay the A$20 for it, but it still includes Denuvo.

I was genuinely surprised just how easy it was to get a fully working RAG set up with Postgres. It was a few hours over a weekend to get something "working" and then probably a bit less time a following weekend to have a nicer database structure and rebuild it learning from the mistakes during the first attempt. The harder part comes next, because that involves multiple tables of user provided data, multi tenancy with a shared core vector schema, and all the actual business logic, so I've put it all on hold for a real breakdown now, but I wouldn't expect it to be much of a problem with what I've found so far with pgvector, and Postgres in general.

If you need to store vector, surely the easiest solution is to run `CREATE EXTENSION vector`. When, or if, you need more, then look at alternatives, but I'm sure most people will have a much easier time just adding it to their existing database.

There is a fork called PipePipe[0] too, that also implements SponsorBlock

Well, I was already thinking we need to move away from localstack, I guess this gives me a deadline for when I need to have it done by. Open to recommendations to replace S3 and SQS for local/CI tests.

No. Please don't. Contribute to something like Heroic Launcher instead. Don't create something new just for GOG. Help make the existing tools better. It'll mean GOG has to do less work, and the programs people are already using will get better. Or even just sponsor Heroic so they can send more time we can working on it themselves.

I too was looking forward to Ladybird, until the main author revealed his political alignment, which is alas, not something I can support (https://drewdevault.com/2025/09/24/2025-09-24-Cloudflare-and...).

Not sure I'm at the regret stage, but the 3D printer has been sitting mostly unused, and I'm not sure that'll change. There have been a few things that were good to print, but mostly used to print fidget toys for the kids and their mates.

Like many others here, I was excited to hear pebble return, and have a Time 2 on preorder, but will be cancelling it if I don't hear a positive outcome from this.

Been using Yaak for 6-9 months now, initially built from source, but now a paying subscriber. Recently saw that you post open metrics[1] on subscriber count and revenue, and love getting a little look behind the curtains.

Might be harder to keep running ZFS on Linux after 6.18

I got the app wrong, it was Uber. I have my phone set to English (UK) and change the measurement system to metric. Uber doesn't respect that though, so it keeps using miles.

Ah, thank you, this was it. I had the language set to English (UK), but changed the distance setting to KM. I got the app wrong, it was Uber, and Uber doesn't respect the override, so it always uses miles. Changing it to English (Australia) and Uber switches KM.

Wait, there's a setting for this? I've lived in Australia for over 16 years now but everything is still in miles instead of Kms and I have never been able to find a setting to change it (although it sounds like even if I did find itz it would be mostly useless).

With the number of interstellar objects being detected only going up, it would be amazing if we could get some probes to hitch a ride on them. Imagine something lasting as long as Voyager 1 but travelling 3.5x the speed as it leaves the solar system.

Or Australia?

My dryer doesn't have a delay function accessable via the front panel, it's been "app gated", and the only way the app can talk to it is via WiFi, so if I ever need to set a delay, I have to use the app. All IoT devices are on their own VLAN though, and where possible firewalled off too. I can easily imagine more features being locked behind the app for future models.

Looks like he didn't get time to finish

Terry Pratchett has one I'd like to think he'd approve of. Just a shame I'm unable to see the 8th colour, I'm sure it's in there somewhere.

Some kind of statement piece

Just and FYI, whilst they are supporting it, they only provide source. If you want the images you need to be a paying customer, or build them yourself.

I believe it's either live chat, or comments with a timestamp, I'm not sure. I don't personally use that option, unless I accidentally touch the wrong icon.

I've been trying and learning TanStack Router with a new project and it's been really nice, so nice that I then added TanStack Query, and then also added TanStack Form.

How does Tubular compare to PipePipe (https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe). Both seem to be forks of NewPipe + SponsorBlock, but PipePipe seems like it might be a bit more active.

Can confirm. My son wanted to visit Texas (and other places) for his 10th birthday present, we've told him we're not welcome there, and trying to explain the US political situation to a kind under 10 is not easy. But there is no way I would want to put our family in any kind of situation like this, basically at the whim of the border person we happen to get.

For version managers I've switched to using mise - https://mise.jdx.dev/ - supports pretty much everything, all in one place. I have it managing java, node, php, and even tools like awscli, gitleaks, and anything else that might be needed to get a project up and running by a new developer.
