I haven't written a blog post in a long time. It's been a tough year. Mostly from a health perspective. One of the highlights was when I cracked four ribs from coughing (yes, the doctors were just as shocked as you are). Before that, I used

I’ve been using 5G Home Internet for well over a year now, and honestly, I love it. For my lifestyle and day-to-day Internet habits, it has hit the sweet spot between performance, convenience, and simplicity. If you’ve ever wondered whether 5G Internet is a realistic alternative to cable or fibre for your home, I’m going to share the details and my experience in this blog post.

Running apt upgrade on hosts with rootless Docker services can break them. A version mismatch occurs between the running user daemon and the newly upgraded system binaries, causing containers to fail on restart. This post provides an ansible playbook that detects critical package changes and automatically restarts only the necessary rootless user daemons, preventing downtime and manual intervention.

The alergy attack appears to have past, took almost the entire day. It can be completely debilitating when it happens. Very hard to concentrate on anything. It's sort of difficult to describe, not entirely disimilar to how it would feel to have stinging nettles rubbed all over your face, and right into your eyes. Sometimes I describe it as being punched in the face. It really drains your life energy. Roll on tomorrow :) #

The classic TCP client/server interaction When a TCP client calls connect (2) , it usually gets assigned a port number from the ephemeral port range which is not used yet. The server, on the other hand, usually calls bind (2) to set the port that it will listen on.

Okay, maybe this only news to me, but still, sharing my experience. So I've been renting a VPS for quite some time. There wasn't much going on there, so I decided why not run a Tor relay and use some of those free resources. Ofc I decided against making it an Exit node due to legal concerns, so it's just a basic relay. It's been running butter smooth for a month or two as a Middle, and at some point network decided that my relay is very goo....

The internet as we know it is dead but simultaniously alive. The only real threat left to the internet is AI, ehrm, "AI." The Surface level internet is dying a horrible death. More and more people are begging to ditch phones and social media and the trash heaps at the center of the internet. they are unhealthy and can even be out right dangerous. Wouldn't this mean that the future of sites like this one should be pretty bright? It would be ..

When using an AI model, one of the things that you need to pay attention to is the number of tokens you send to the model. They literally cost you money, so you have to balance the amount of data you send to the model against how much of it is relevant to what you want it to do. That is especially important when you are building generic agents, which may be assigned a bunch of different tasks. The classic example is the human resourc....

I managed to get a very minimal example of the Github Actions social media auto-poster workflow working. It proves that in theory the necessary sequence is possible. The reason it’s tricky is because I am trying to run all the auto-poster jobs in a job matrix in order to parallelize them. I’ve almost run out of build minutes this month, so here’s a summary, so I can pick it up again next month. It’s not really intended for anyone in parti....

Just as I manage to finally clear the decks this morning, and about to get back to finishing the rebuild of the Github Actions auto-poster, the internet connection disappears. Literally within a few seconds. Looks like the world is productivity min-ing again. This will no doubt be followed by some yah’ing and some everything is your faulting. Hard not to wonder whether reality should have a .cause property . At least my blog is a website..

Leading to a place (obviously not spam or meaningless promotion). Whether you enter or not is up to you. Or more accurately — up to your essence, your cognitive limits, your biases, your beliefs. But if you still have the capacity to recognize these words — for what they are. Wi..
