Still find it wild that a browser tab uses 20x the RAM an IBM mainframe had circa 1996, which served >500 users spread across the globe, for a company which owned >50% of the world's shipping containers (plus the Orient Express, ferries and other businesses).

Though admittedly the CEO was not a technology fan (preferred trains and ships etc.) and the overall IT setup was a bit wild to say the least. But still.

The Zed editor is so nice and almost feels like it could be a Sun Microsystems product. It's making me want to switch to using Open Look desktop environment. Thanks to dev hipster @treb0r for the tip!

Taking a moment to appreciate the utilitarian chonk and beautiful UX of the British Mk.328 clandestine ("spy") receiver.

So having increased their prices Sept 2025, @Xero are increasing them again < 1 year later. Increases of ~20% in less than one year. It may be time to start looking at alternatives, which is a shame, but they're clearly taking advantage of perceived inertia.

That's right, you wouldn't want mains interference coupling on to your fibre data cabling. Thanks, Google AI!

Turns out DisplayLink supports run length encoding, and now, so do I. This is EGA from a Pi Pico 2 on the ISA bus, using DisplayLink over USB 1.1 as the output device.

I seem to have a habit of picking the hottest days to do the least suitable tasks. This weekend it's metal bashing. A few years ago it was running a multi-day AI model training job on 2x GPUs in the office server in the midst of a heatwave.
