It would be a shame if someone put some advertising stickers on it.
- Comment on ROCm on older generation AMD gpu 2 weeks ago:
I run it on a 6650xt just fine. I have to explicitly set what version I want, but no issues.
You should be in a better spot with a 6700xt.
- Comment on Does Prusas textured sheet...work at all? 2 weeks ago:
I chipped so many glass beds back in the day with PLA and Elmer’s glue stick. I’d often put them in the freezer in hopes that they’d just release on their own. Alas, they chip there, too.
- Comment on Does Prusas textured sheet...work at all? 2 weeks ago:
Grease is bad for those PEI sheets. I wipe it off with alcohol before every print. They need to be hot, too. Around the glass transition temperature of your material. I exclusively print PETG. 70°C will fail, while 85°C will stick great.
- Comment on Hard drive prices have surged by an average of 46% since September — iconic 24TB Seagate BarraCuda now $500 as AI claims another victim 2 weeks ago:
It sure is!
In my case it’s vulnerable while I re-balance.
btrfs can work with mixed-size disks and change RAID-levels on-line, too.
- Comment on Hard drive prices have surged by an average of 46% since September — iconic 24TB Seagate BarraCuda now $500 as AI claims another victim 2 weeks ago:
I’m on RAID1 on btrfs, so I just rebalance and remove the disks as they break.

Damn. 2/8 drives in my array have died. I was going to replace them, but at this price point I might just delete some porn instead.
Or buy cloud storage.
- Comment on How many of you are using everdrive? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve got three. Master system, gameboy and NES. I’ll probably get a SNES one eventually.
I bought my first well over 15 years ago, and my most recent last year. They were good then, and have improved since. The ones I have list as many as it fits on a screen. You can skip ahead page by page. You could also just put them in folders on your card to ease navigation.
Buy only original everdrives from krikkz.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 5 weeks ago:
My jr developer will eventually be familiar with the entire codebase and can make decisions with that in mind without me reminding them about details at every turn.
LLMs would need massive context windows and/or custom training to compete with that. I’m sure we’ll get there eventually, but for now it seems far off. I think this bubble will have to burst and let hardware catch up with our ambitions. It’ll take a couple of decades.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 5 weeks ago:
It’s like having a lightning-fast junior developer at your disposal. If you’re vague, he’ll go on shitty side-quests. If you overspecify he’ll get overwhelmed. You need to break down tasks into manageable chunks. You’ll need to ask follow-up questions about every corner case.
A real junior developer will have improved a lot in a year. Your AI agent won’t have improved.

It used to be 20. But my wife claims I leave skidmarks on the sheets.
Now it’s 17.

They’re sold as “Thomson streaming stick” in Europe.
Mine works well.
- Comment on Your Smartphone, Their Rules: How App Stores Enable Corporate-Government Censorship | ACLU 2 months ago:
imagine if Microsoft made it impossible to install apps outside of its windows app store, no would accept that, so why do we accept it for mobiles OS’s
I felt like Apple was going down that route. You have to jump through so many hoops to run programs that aren’t signed by one of their $99/y certificates.
The final drop for me when I was unable to remove Music.app. it’s on a shadowed read-only partition that rebooting updates write to. Extra many hoops to unlock the same to do changes to it (that might make stuff flaky).
- Comment on Do you guys know how awesome a printer is that is just working? 2 months ago:
My original Průša i3 mk0 has been going for 11 years now. It did receive a mk1 upgrade at some point when 3mm filament was getting scarce.
The IEC heatbed connector melted twice. But it’s been solid since I replaced it with an XT60.
Looks like I’m finally getting some metal fatigue in the heatbed temp sensor. I’m considering a new printer. The rest of the components are probably close to giving out after all these years.

I wonder if those DevOps cost $72M/h.
Otherwise I have an idea that might save AWS some money.
- Comment on New Study: Global Fertility Rate Decline Now Linked Directly to the Commodification of Housing 3 months ago:
I’d also bring in the ripple effect of this. We know there’s not enough children being born.
There’s not going to be a workforce to pay our pensions when we get old. I’m less likely to spend my money on a dependant, when I should be buying property as a commodity so that I can have means to live at old age.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 3 months ago:
GPT has been quite hit and miss for me, but Claude is usually quite solid.
It needs micromanaging, otherwise it will do bad design decisions and go off on unrelated side quests. When micromanaged it’ll get you to that MVP very fast.
The trap is that you need to be able to find the errors it makes, or at least call them out immediately. Trying to have co-pilot fix it’s own mistakes is usually a neverending prompt-cycle.
It can summarise big code bases fast, and find how things fit together a lot faster than me. It’s been very useful when being thrown in head first into a new project.
- Comment on Do bots/scrapers check uncommon ports? 4 months ago:
They do scan and try all ports.
I have a tiny VPS as reverse proxy with SSL termination for my fiddling. That one has a wireguard network to my hardware at home to which it forwards some hosts.
The tiny VPS is definitely the bottleneck in the equation, and if I were to have loads of traffic I’d probably go with cloudflare or -front in front of it.
- Comment on FYI (opinion.) don't buy an MMU 4 months ago:
Memory Management Unit was the first thing that came to my mind when I read that title.
I don’t know what that says about me.
- Comment on emergency remote access 4 months ago:
I had a 4G modem with a web interface many years ago. It was flaky and would often hang. I just had a raspberry pi on my network pinging some known address, if it failed for long enough it’d replay the commands to restart the web interface.
If I’d have the same problem today I’d probably have home assistant power cycle the router with a smart plug.
- Comment on What is the current state of Matrix? 4 months ago:
I set it up during the outage last week.
Easy enough to just pull in the synapse docker container and run it on my home server. I wireguard it to my VPS that acts as a reverse proxy.
Both federation and push notifications work.
- Comment on Even households earning $150,000 a year are struggling with credit card and car payments 5 months ago:
I, too, need a car. But I choose not to go down this route.
I bought my current one five years ago for $4k and spent another $2k to get it reliable. Minimum liability insurance is like $20/mo.
I’m looking to trade up in a bit for something twice as pricy, and I’ll skip the loan part then, too.
- Comment on Even households earning $150,000 a year are struggling with credit card and car payments 5 months ago:
Struggling with car payments, you say.
Our EU household doesn’t make $150k/y even if you’d consider the hidden supergross taxes.
I’ve never had a car loan in my life, nor anything beyond the most basic insurance.
If you can’t afford to buy a car, then you can’t afford to wreck it.
It’s better to send that extra money into my savings account or stock portfo rather than waste it on interest and extra insurance. Then I’ll at least get too see that money again some day.
- Comment on Prototype of RTX 5090 Appears With Four 16-Pin Power Connectors, Capable of Delivering 2,400W 8 months ago:
I live in a 50 year old house. All the breakers are 16A, so 220V x 16A = 3.5kW
The electric sauna does three-phase @ 400V. My energy tracker usually peaks around 9.5kW when it’s heating.
