no worries :). I plan on remaining on personal plus anyway until such time as you stop letting me give you money (making this the second plan you'll have kicked me off of :P), but there's not actually any difference between the (now) state of that and the free plan as far as I can tell. (also is the plural of Tailscalar Tailvector?)

counts huh. well, I'm at 14 (which were previously just tagged "devices"), I guess at some point I get to find out what the hard limit is :).

Why I love NixOS 4 months ago

nix & nixos are by far the worst way to manage system configuration, except for any other way that's been tried. imagine if there was something with declarative system configuration _not_ written in an insane undebuggable recursive nightmare of a language/stdlib? oh well, I'll keep using it, because what other options are there?

that is _purely_ netflix's decision; they have decided not to integrate. in fact, earlier this year netflix accidentally rolled out their internal version which has full integration with the APIs and then said "oopsie" and removed it again.

that's not mostly what car enthusiasts care about, especially somebody buying a 150k porsche; they care about handling and road feel and a fat pig of an EV will never match a lighter car (well set up) on that; you can't beat physics when you're slinging that much weight; even set up as well as can be, a 5000lb taycan doesn't come close to the handling feel of a 3250lb 911.

yup, I ended up implementing that myself via a coredns extension that does DNS for both tags and hosts. obviously not zero effort, but it ended up being quite straightforward, and has been working flawlessly since then.

13-14 minutes at 75C (in shell), shock in ice water, crack into a slotted spoon to drain runny white. I realize this is not technically poaching, but the result is effectively a poached egg, and that's what people are referring to (afaik) when they're referring to poached sous vide eggs.

I have an APO as well, and use it extensively, but I'd note that a) they have never released an API as originally promised (and eventually scrubbed all mention of the promise) and b) as of August of last year, new purchases will be charged a subscription fee for using the mobile app, which is necessary for most of the things you'd get an APO for.

Ghostty 1.0 2 years ago

there's a flake in the official repo that works fine for me (nixos unstable)

40Gbps is not enough to run the screen for one eye at the resolution/framerate/HDR it's running at. You'd have to chop the bpc to 8 or the refresh rate to about 80hz. And then you'd still need another one for the other eye, and a third one for the cameras.

the breville/polyscience control freak does this, as a single burner, _very_ well, though it's not cheap. I use mine for anything requiring fine temperature control over time & deep frying, but just use my gas range for more general cooking tasks. the control freak certainly proves that it's possible to make a non-gas burner that performs acceptably for me (also no touch controls, which is mandatory), but nobody else is making one. My ideal range setup would be something like 2x control freaks and then a 30k BTU gas burner with an electric combi oven that can do temperature & steam control as precisely as anova's countertop one, but there's zero chance of anyone ever making something like that.

9754 is 128/256 now, so 256/512 for that.

That supermicro system is 8-way; it's 4 dual-socket motherboards but they're one system, hooked together by backplane boards. You can price supermicro's complete-system-only stuff (all of it now, alas) out on thinkmate or similar sites, but a minimal config (and you'd never buy that for a minimal config) hits around $60k.
