Serious respect to Google here for blocking a bunch of racists from spreading their vitriol

These are so cool. Not always practical, but shows the limit is really your imagination

Is anyone running a beelink mini PC for development and what is it like? I've just upgraded my monitor to an ultra wide 34" and have a 27' monitor, but my laptop won't output to both at full resolution

I get an uneasy feeling every time I try to sign up for something and they limit the length of the password...even if that password length it 30 characters.

Oh dear. I have blog post ideas coming on top of project ideas. Too much to do and not enough time. On the plus side, I have some motivation to do some of it.

Code. The infrastructure bit would be more fun short term, but I realized I was putting off the code because it's at a more complicated part

Choices for tonight... Development work or infrastructure changing. Both have their learning benefits and take me closer to a goal...one seems more fun right now, but that might be because the other seems more challenging short term

New project idea...new domain purchased. I'll have to finish building this one now

So the @tldrnewsletter has an article today about a PDF bigger than Germany. Great fun reading, and finding the author mad a PDF reportedly bigger than size of the universe. I didn't calculate it, but it's BIG! alexwlchan.net/2024/big-pdf/

Happy New Year everyone. I probably should have given proper thought to my goals for this year before...so organisation is going on my list

I can't help feeling that #databreach emails starting "dear valued customer" miss the mark somewhat. Not valued enough for you to use my name, nor to take the time to make them less spammy. On the plus side there were no links to click for me to action so @SamsungUK did that ok

Planning out the #homelab tonight. Got the first 7 VMs ready to configure. Just need to get the network up and running so they can get their updates and install packages. Going to need more network cable

Measure twice, buy once! That has to be my new mantra. I bought a higher POE output network switch, only to find the power lead doesn't fit in it whilst it's in my network cabinet. Going to have to cut a hole for the cable now

My homelab hardware is growing and my network is about to get an overhaul...I need to think of a naming convention I can actually stick to and rebuild

Back to the Ubiquiti Unify or TP Link omada ecosystem debate. Kids need Wi-Fi for school, but I've got a crap ISP router without any management for traffic or VLANS, or additional SSIDs...so is the 50% premium for Unifi worth it? I could go Omada, save money, and create content

Seriously?! I don't get why you would even want to other than to use it to try and breach other sites
