I couldn't believe it either but when you enable it the settings of macOS you get this popup:

When you dictate text, information like your voice input and contact names are sent to Apple to help your Mac recognize what you’re saying.

Very neat idea! I implemented it into my self hosted remote coding agent: https://stanislas.blog/2026/02/netclode-self-hosted-cloud-co...

Unfortunately Hetzner volumes have pretty low iops for databases

Maybe https://github.com/spinel-coop/rv will be the answer when it's ready

It doesn't seem like they are available with `import Darwin` indeed

I merged https://github.com/angristan/MacThrottle/pull/2 to make it work on macOS 15. macOS 14 probably works, feel free to try it out and open a PR to lower the required version if it's the case

My M4 Max Macbook Pro can run for a while at like 105°C and fans to the max before throttling, when it starts throttling it doesn't exceed that threshold, and then the temperature goes down for a while before throttling stops

Interesting, yeah iStat Menus reports the wattage of the charger, sometimes I've charged my mac with like a 5 or 10W charger and I didn't have that issue But now that rings a bell, I think a coworker had that issue recently. I wonder why that happens

This one is my bad, I've exceeded the 100k free reqs/day (for https://stanislas.blog/2025/02/redirect-dead-links-hugo-imag...), and I didn't enable the setting to bypass it over that limit

Agreed, half of these questions are answered in the post. Also, looking at the account's comment history confirms that it's karma-farming with comments or something like that

Oh really? TIL, I thought it was dependant on the app developer. I can look into it, thanks!

Oops, I fixed it, I have not very important Cloudflare Workers in front of the blog (which is on Cloudflare Pages) and somehow they were in fail closed mode and not fail open :(

Indeed, that's why apps like iStat Menus, Stats, Sensei etc (for macOS at least) are very useful, I keep the CPU usage and power usage in my menu bar at all times, this is very useful on battery. For example I know that my Macbook Air idles at ~2W-5W, so if I'm doing nothing special and it's using 15W, a process is doing some funny stuff

Thank you for the kind words :)

Yeah! That's how I initially suspected that it was thermal throttling because I saw in iStat Menus that my wattage was going down for a constantly high CPU usage

Ah! Yeah I did notice that using `ProcessInfo.processInfo.thermalState`, the state didn't update unless I restarted the process (reproducible even with a swift script). But this issue doesn't happen with the technique I use right now (the thermald notification)

but what are you able to do about it?

On Macbooks with fans, I started tuning my fan curve with iStat Menus (https://bjango.com/help/istatmenus7/fans/#custom-fan-curve) because I noticed the default curve was lagging behind and thermal throttling kicked in before the fan even reach max speed.

For Apple Silicon specifically, I recently discovered that there is a "high power mode" (https://support.apple.com/en-us/101613) that allows the fans to run at higher speed. So I don't use the custom fan curves anymore, it helped me a lot (but it does get quite noisy on a 14" M4 Max)

For a Macbook Air, not much you can do besides closing stuff, or elevating the macbook and pointing a fan at it or things like that... but yeah it's a bit desperate!

It's for my blogs, so it's mainly just for fun :) Seeing what's read over the years.

Apparently the module is there: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-adds-wireguard-vpn-and...

But you need to be rooted to use it: https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2022-September/0...

I found it very useful for proofreading. It's easier than copying/pasting the content into ChatGPT or similar, as it's right in the editor. I disabled the autocomplete though, as I found it breaks my flow of thoughts

Weathergraph is the best weather app I've ever used, thank you so much for it!

All new buckets are using Hive as their backend.

It's 24h, as requested by Apple's EULA

I've been using s3ql for a while, but this looks great. After testing it for a few hours, the performance seems solid. I'm glad it has a data cache feature like s3ql.

How do you do that?

They just proxy it on the fly with camo: https://github.com/atmos/camo

Since the new AMD VMs from Hetzner have similar pricing to Scaleway's DEV instances, I did some Geekbench tests:

- Hetzner EPYC Rome: 600/1900 - Scaleway EPYC Zen (DEV): 526/1844

Not much difference for a generation bump. But still, good value!

Other offers:

- Scaleway EPYC Zen (GP): 826/2887 - Hetzner Xeon Skylake: 673/2325
