The iPhone 11 was released almost 7 years ago and is still supported by the latest iOS.

For context, that would put it at the same release as Pixel 3 or Pixel 4. Those devices stopped receiving updates in 2022-2023.

I thought this was going to be related to the excellent libghostty based iOS terminal client: https://github.com/kitknox/rootshell

Seaweed has been around for a long time. I think you just discovered what legacy codebases look like.

I'm struggling to understand how something like this can be reproduced consistently across environments. How would you package this inside a Git repo? Can it be managed through GitOps?

I manage my podman containers the way the article describes using NixOS. I have a tmpfs root that gets blown away on every reboot. Deploys happen automatically when I push a commit.

Thanks for that. I thought my Vivoactive 4 battery was just shot so I bought a new watch since it was only lasting a few hours.

I keep waiting for the Apple Watch to last multiple days so I can leave Garmin.

The final cost of the bill matters more than anything. A server at a higher-end restaurant where the bills regularly exceed hundreds of dollars will earn more in tips serving fewer tables than a server that works at a cheaper casual-chain restaurant (IHOP, Applebees, etc).

This article highlights why Bambu has been eating Prusa's lunch the past few years. Imagine spending over $1000 then needing to print parts to get it to work properly.

I swapped my Ender5 for an X1C two years ago, and since then, I have only had to do whatever maintenance the X1C tells me. Using my X1C feels much closer to using my laser paper printer, whereas my Ender5 ended up being a hobby in itself.

At some point you'll want to upgrade the hugo generator, and then you'll need to wade through their release logs. I neglected my personal site for years and I had to hunt down various errors and deprecations. It's out of reach for non-developers to do. A 1.x compatibility promise would go a long way.

My wife's site runs on Squarespace, and she's been self-sufficient since it was set up.

Eno? Up until recently, that was the only way to generate virtual cards. It's a useful feature for retailers that are too small for me to trust their security. I guess I'll need to start using their website now that it is an option.

Those people aren’t enabling ADP to begin with.

The counterpoint is how many children would love their own stuffed Hobbes to be sitting next to them as their parents read a few comics to them.

You can merchandise things without going overboard and losing your soul.

That’s because all of those safety engineering improvements have caused the average cost of a vehicle to skyrocket.

We shouldn't even be doing that for cats.

Domestic cats are an invasive species that decimate the native wildlife. "free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually."[0]

Since we're talking about Florida, this is what their Fish & Game department has to say on the topic:

* Domestic cats are not a part of Florida’s natural ecosystem. A single individual free-ranging cat may kill 100 or more birds and mammals per year. Scientists in Wisconsin estimate that cats kill at least 7.8 million birds per year in that state alone. Even cats with bells on their collars kill or injure birds and small mammals.

* Cats compete with native wildlife and can spread disease. Outdoor cats have been identified as the primary host in the transmission of toxoplasmosis to wildlife, a disease which has caused death in manatees and other mammals.

Garmin's own product webpage highlights the biggest problem with Garmin.[0] They have too many options, with very little distinguishing features. Instead of making hardware to justify the number of models, they cripple watches in various ways using software.

For example, on my Vivoactive 4, recording a "Hike" activity is impossible. Instead, I have to record all my hikes as "Walks".

They should trim their offerings down to fewer than 10 models instead of the 28 currently listed.

Those are regulated industries, where as software development is not.

An AI spitting back bad code won't compile. An AI spitting back bad financial/legal advice bankrupts people.

I disagree. You lose out on granular permissions and magicdns.

I run a tailscale instance per service, even if the services are colocated in the same VM. This lets me take advantage of tailscale serve, and I can also move services between VMs without changing access or dns.

Fortnite isn’t available on the iOS store, so at least Epic is putting their money where their mouth is.

Somehow I don’t believe your Pentium 3 (1999) or your Pentium 4 (2000) processor is still your main computer.

Windows and Ubuntu have dropped support for 32 bit processors.

Here is the EFF Take Action page on FISA Section 702:

I thought CUDA was NVIDIA’s moat. Is that no longer the case, or did AMD come up with a good alternative?

They were probably surprised because the insurance company would have paid the fair market rate for the replacement (parts & labor based on various quotes), regardless of if a professional did the work, if you DIYed it, or even if you never decided to repair it.

You likely talked yourself out of additional money.

Since house cats are one of the biggest threats birds face in the wild—they kill somewhere between 1.3 and 4 billion birds every year in the U.S.

The Audubon society lists domestic outdooor cats as one of the biggest threats to birds.

Building a hydroelectric dam and flooding some habitat

There has been a large movement that has been working towards tearing these down due to their ecological impact. Additionally, Lake Mead has a risk of the water level falling too low and stopping power generation at Hoover Dam.

Some concerns that solar plants could have on wildlife are:

- Increased human presence in areas that previously were not frequented

- Maintenance roads will need to be built

- Migration corridors could be severed, leading to less genetic diversity in an area

- Unknown impact on wildlife. For example, maybe the solar panels make it difficult for local hawks to hunt. As of 2021, scientists have generally agreed that more studies are needed to determine this. [0]

I don't have any of these on my 2013 vehicles, and the only one I truly miss is CarPlay.

I've been in nice cars with these features, and I'm happy I don't have most of these. Adaptive cruise control brakes are too late and hard for me to trust, lane assist is nice on straights but is annoying when it bounces between the sides of the lane, and automatic high-beams are infuriating with the constant on & off.

I wish Apple supported that in their Airpod case.

My time machine share is backed by ZFS. I have a separate dataset for each laptop, with snapshots retained for 30 days. As long as I know roughly the last time the backup worked, I can restore that snapshot so I don't need to start fresh.

This potentially opens up boat location tracking to FOIA requests, which would betray what boat captains believe are trade secrets (where they fish).

iMessage already has that, by falling back to SMS.

It’s part of the danger of having a public “dotfiles” repository. It’s very easy to check in your .zshrc, only to discover that some script added an ENV var that contains a secret. Alternatively, the employee could have checked in a script that contained some secrets.

Very nice. I only use LaTeX for my resume, but I have my resume written in JSON so that I can easily keep my website and PDF in-sync. CI auto-builds and publishes both.
