Any sane crypto miner undervolted and underclocked their GPUs for efficiency's sake; if anything, they went through less wear than, say, regular gaming.

LLVM and LLM are not the same thing

Can't imagine this being better than Effective Go: https://go.dev/doc/effective_go

CS basics.

Wayland modularity is the gift that keeps on giving.

Putting swaybar at the top behind the notch is a great idea!

Secure boot-enabled devices allow you to do anything you want, even enrolling your own keys. What's stopping you from doing that?

Been using my mechanical laptop, an MNT Reform, for a while now, great experience.

Nothing.

Quite frankly, it feels great!

Ah I should check again then, thanks for the tip!

Re: rockbox, I’m not concerned about them, I’m sure the thing sounds good enough already.

Neat! I have A55 as well, I wish I had the time to port rockbox to it. I like Sony OS, but having the thing re-scan my library on each reboot gets old quickly

This post resembles how I’ve been feeling lately at work, too bad it’s been months like this now!

One should choose their bike components carefully. I have been able to service every single component on my mountain bike, excluding suspension since that requires knowledge and time I don’t have time to acquire (yet!). As a general rule choosing mechanical components instead of electronic ones has been rewarding on the longevity and repairability fronts. That said some components are consumable, like the dropper post cartridge you mentioned, but to arrive at the point it requires replacement you either used it a lot (I’m jealous!) or it was simply faulty :-/

Might also be a good idea looking for other bike shops in your area. Mine is always trying to recycle and repair components.

Why?

Single market yes, but VAT changes from country to country

They do for games, which now that Proton works so well are actually a reality.

I explicitly asked for the model/maker of your microSD so that I could :-)

MicroSD are notorious for being unreliable, especially cheap ones. What MicroSD are you using?

The price on noise canceling headphones is usually an indication of how good they do NC.

The vast amount of Bluetooth NC headphones sound like their 100$ wired counterpart.

Sometimes the paywall is nothing more than a couple HTML div’s.

You can programmatically remove them and then return the page.

I backed the smaller form factor brother, the Pocket Reform[1].

Can’t wait to have a small hacking laptop to bring in my backpack!

While I do see the argument against JavaScript-heavy websites, I don’t understand why one would want to build a text only website.

Pizza without tomato is a treat! It’s typical in Naples and Campania in general: makes good olive oil and mozzarella shine.

I used gentoo exclusively for a couple years on various machines, mostly because of need: I had one of the first revisions of the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X which was plagued with a silicon bug. You could mitigate this issue by compiling the entire system with a recent enough version of GCC and some specific flags. Coming from Arch, I found gentoo to be some order of magnitude more stable, while performance wasn’t that much different. I enjoyed it so much that I ran it on my MacBook Pro retina and an old thinkpad x61s, which took almost two days to compile GCC 6 :’)

It doesn’t have cellular network AFAIK.

But again, the target users don’t bother with streaming much, the device just so happens to run android, and that makes running streaming apps possible.

I’m 99% sure you can stream Spotify and similar on it. The last generation of Android-based Walkman can do that just fine.

I think they mention streaming briefly because the target demographic for this device is the kind of people who have their own hi-res files available.

I hope Sony fixed the battery life on those, because the last gen was underwhelming on that front.

Enduro mountain biking and some form of tennis!

Been writing musings on personal projects and biking very erratically for a few years now, aiming at building up some consistency because I have stuff to say.

Love Canary Tokens! I use an HTML one to get notified whenever someone opens the CV page on my static website.

Thinkpad keyboards are great (I own a couple T400’s and used to daily drive a X61s), but the latest MacBook Pros have real, actually good keyboards afaik too.
