Snippet: I’ve played some of these before, albeit a very long time ago. But I thought it would be fun to revisit them after playing most of the games that came later. Note, I didn’t do the Master Levels. I completely forgot about them until I’d finished all three, by which point I’d had enough.

Snippet: Good morning! I need some advice from you guys. I was originally planning to build a high-end PC when the next Nvidia SUPER cards are released, but WoW Forever has ruined my plans 😂. I can't get much more than 30–40 FPS with my current PC, so I'm seriously considering upgrading now. This is my current shitty build.

Snippet: I basically replaced old phone with a new phone because my display got bad. My old phone is Moto g62 5g - a little low end mobile for performance) but it was staying idle just because some display damage. so I figured why not use it for my private files or file system, you know large files like movies or whatever. then I thought maybe I can use it as server, so that where ever I go I have extra space to work with.

Snippet: Won’t specify my country so I can stay anonymous, but basically I was in a group of ~15 students and I was the only one who didn’t graduate…. I cried like hell when it happened bc it was my childhood dream and I invested so much effort, sweat and literal years of my life trying to achieve it.

Snippet: Concordance: keep your place between an ebook and its audiobook (KOReader + Calibre-Web-Automated + Audiobookshelf) I read on a Kobo and listen in the car, and I kept losing my place between the two. Whispersync solves this if you buy everything from Amazon. I don't, so I spent a while building something that does it for a self-hosted stack.

Snippet: There's a data point I recently just saw today and I think it's being badly misread, and the misreading matters if you're trying to work out where the AI money goes from here. Vercel's AI Gateway, which routes real production traffic for a lot of developers, showed open weight models hitting about 78% of token volume on September 18, up from roughly 11% in April and 62% in late August.

Snippet: After loosing data a few times through sheer stupidity, I decided to give Longhorn a try. My conclusion : If you want a simple and lightweight solution for small clusters to make your data more resilient on kubernetes, Longhorn provides you with all of your basic needs. Nonetheless, for bigger clusters and more complex operations, longhorn fails to scale and lacks features. As always I wrote a detailled guide coverin…

Historically, I have used a mixture of paid cloud AI services (ChatGPT, Gemini, OpenRouter API) and my own local inference.
