Correct. I found these numbers for global wealth: “[…] it takes around USD 1.1 million in net worth to land in the global top 1%, around USD 175,000 for the top 10%, and around USD 8,700 for the top 50%.” If you have about 9000 USD you are richer than half the planet. If you own even a moderate home, you’re in the top 10%.

I love this idea. We need more whimsical technology.

BAaaaaaaa also means yes.

Way back when, the observed ABAB sequence could be explained by one server using outdated data and another having the new data and visitors being round-robined to each in turn. I have investigated issues like this and this has happened. Not sure how many companies still use a setup like this, though. It’s been K8s clusters everywhere I’ve worked for many years now. This does indeed look like a proper AB test, the HTML already looks pretty clear.

Feel similar to NothingEverHappens, now we get EverythinIsAI. That fucking garbage just further erodes trust.

Oracle has a free tier where I run my Wireguard.

I think they do this to promote their new SynthID.

Used Manjaro for a while, gave EndeavourOS a try and have been happy there for a few years now. Before that it was Ubuntu, Mint and Debian. Also had OpenBSD on my servers for many years.

Coolers are forever. Unlike men, coolers linger.

I first installed Linux in 1995, before I had a second computer where I could look for help. Compared to that experience today’s situation is paradise. So you won’t hear me complain.

Just like God intended.

What the duck.

I was asking myself this about the big cable box. I have a large box containing a wide assortment of cables. Cables I acquired over a long career. So many cables, that they have become a nightmare for people like me, searching for a specific cable. Does anybody have ideas how to fix this?

Apparently there will be a way to disable this crap: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html?m=1

Still fuck Google, but at least there’s a way to opt-out.

I mean, this is a more complex issue. We actually need to change transportation and not just the type of motor and Western car makers like in the US or Germany are idiots for sticking to combustion engines. But… It’s difficult to compete with Chinese companies that can utilize slave labor and heavy government subsidies.

SNL made a sketch about it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn8pwoNWseM

Cool, thanks. I’ll look into it.

How do you do the AI tagging? That is something I need right now.

Where else can you get a 2TB USB stick for 8 Euro for when you need a 16GB stick?
