Looks interesting. Definitely needs a mobile client to become a viable alternative.

If they somehow manage to make Musk sell his shares, Tesla might become a viable company again.

Until then: I don’t care.

I have gotten a year Perplexity pro subscription for free somewhen in summer last year. Guess, I won’t even think about split second about paying for this service or even using it after my free year has run its course.

How does it differ from paperless?

Jeff Geerling is great. I really love how he tackles and breaks down even the most complicated things to make it understandable.

My old Samsung printer can enter a state where it consumes ~100W without doing anything meaningful. It’s not obvious what is wrong, but without power monitoring I would have never realized this.

CO2 levels raise astonishingly fast when people are present in a room.

I have mice visiting my garage and I can tell when by looking at the motion sensor history.

My uninsulated roof stays frost free even at -15°C.

I run a Proxmox cluster with 2x Dreamquest pro, each with 2x10TB had in an IcyBox, plus an external Raspberry Pie with a 12 TB disk for backup.

The disks are refurbished to keep the costs down but run in a mirror setup. So if one fails, I’m fine. I use an old laptop as a 3rd node and the main nodes replicate their load, so I‘m fine even when one node is dead.

It is for quite some time.

It could be much better if they would finally release an app for mobile devices. At least for me it’s the major showstopper.

The climate goals are meetable.

If we want to.

Unless AI forces us to do stuff that we know for decades to be necessary, nothing will change, except a massive amount of additional energy that we need to power the AI.

Someone got cold feet, as it seems. I guess OpenSearch started to eat their lunch.

My guess: The reputation is already ruined and this change won’t make much of a difference.

End of an era.

Thank you for providing a lot of high quality content for so many years!

I only see Apple TV+ as a bonus to the Premium subscription. But if they really fuck it up like this, I will unbundle my subscription and cancel Apple TV+.

Fuck ads!

I sold my watch because I was so annoyed by the bad battery life.

I expect a watch to run for a couple of days at least. Charging it while taking a shower must be sufficient. And I do not shower for half an hour.

As long as the Apple Watch is not able to do that, it’s a no-go for me.

The stupid shareholders are financing Musk’s Twitter-disaster.

I would like an app for desktop and phone/tablet that are syncing, just like Authy did, before they abandoned the desktop app.

So, for me that means: iOS/iPadOS and macOS

I do not see a desktop client.

I’m more surprised that anyone bought this nonsense.

After Authy scrapped its support for the desktop client, I’m looking for an alternative. Sadly, this does not look like it.

No own domain - instant KO from me.
