Misusing words like “setup” vs “set up”, or “login” vs “log in”. “Anytime” vs “any time” also steams my clams.

I use Fossil for all of my personal projects. Having a wiki and bug tracker built-in is really nice, and I like the way repositories sync. It’s perfect for small teams that want everything, but don’t want to rely on a host like GitHub or set up complicated software themselves.

I had this set up the day it was available in my area. Never got an alert. I find it difficult to believe I wasn’t “exposed” during the pandemic, so I assume this didn’t really provide much value.

Google cases always seem hit-or-miss. I just buy the same Spigen case for every phone. I know I like it.

Briar and SimpleX seemed decent the last time I looked into this.

• briarproject.org
• simplex.chat

I ended up using neither because I don’t need privacy when talking to myself.

Got it. So more for data at rest rather than handling the sending too?

SimpleX does file transfer pretty well, not sure about Briar now that I think about it.

I have all of my important electronics (computers, entertainment center, network equipment) on CP1500PFCLCD. They’re scattered around the house, so there are multiple CP1500PFCLCD.

…then there’s a 22 kW gas generator that handles everything once it switches on.

I can recommend Kagi. Happy customer for over a year.

Nice, I like this one. Disappointed the units converter doesn’t have pounds and ounces as a target, though. It only does pounds or ounces, not both. I tend to see a lot of quantities specified as pounds and ounces at the same time in my day-to-day activities.

Playing devil’s advocate, I’d be worried you’d avoid doing work you don’t want to do, but is core work that needs to be done. Not all employers want or are set up to employ wildcards. You may have to make your own path here, too.

Kagi’s verbatim search does this. You will actually get no results if nothing matches. It doesn’t change your search and give you something you didn’t ask for.

Quoting in a normal “All results” search works, too.

What the heck did you just say about storage, you little newbie? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in Computer Engineering, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on terrible cable management, and I have over 300 confirmed SSD installs. You’re complaining about space on your PC like it’s some sort of divine mystery? Listen up, sailor.

You’re whining about dropping $120 on BG3 and Starfield? You could get a 1TB SSD for as low as 35 bucks, you scallywag. Don’t even get me started on HDDs; a 1TB one is practically a steal at 22 dollars. And let’s go big or go home: 2TB HDD for 40-65 dollars, or if you’re feeling ritzy, a 2TB SSD at 60-90. Still less than your precious games, maggot.

You’re out of SATA ports? Son, have you heard of a PCIe SATA card? Load that baby up. You’ve got more slots on your motherboard than you have excuses. Talking about running out of space with a setup that should give you 2-4TB at least? Don’t make me laugh. You’re telling me you can’t find space for your precious BG3? That’s only 150GB, sailor, uninstall it if you’re so keen on playing Starfield.

And if you’ve hit the limits of both onboard SATA and PCIe, then I have one word for you: USB 3. Worst case, you get an external drive and run Starfield from there. Don’t act like your OS drive is the final frontier; there are many ways to expand your digital seas, you landlubber.

So before you cry about storage again, maybe do some basic math and stop acting like you’re navigating uncharted waters. Get another drive, or walk the plank.

Hashicorp recently changed the license of Terraform and its other core products from MPL to BSL, restricting commercial use and preventing competitors from offering services based on the code. While this makes business sense for the now-public Hashicorp, it upset many users who saw it as undermining the open source nature of the projects. In response, the OpenTF project was launched to fork Terraform and maintain it under a truly open source license. While Terraform is not as likely to cause vendor lock-in as databases, its dominance as a developer tool could be impacted by this change and emerging alternatives. Interestingly, the video ends by humorously discouraging viewers from supporting the OpenTF project in opposition to Hashicorp’s licensing change.

I think this is a problem the frontends will eventually solve. Doesn’t seem too difficult and it would have a lot of value to combine these cross posts.
