Poor XMPP, no one will just let it die.

I think this is part of some effort to destroy the last of the public's confidence in these institutions after their COVID handling fiasco. The health risks and elevated risks of dying is true, but in a couple studies were similar to cycling or walking on city streets, and nowhere near the risk from sedentary lifestyles and social isolation.

All he people I've known over the years with alcohol problems weren't fretting over 5 'standard drinks', they were drinking well over 15 drinks every single day. Also, they didn't think they had a problem. Except with sleeping, a couple ounces for a nightcap, or shakes in the morning, a quick swig or so for that.

Someone has a drinking problem when they can’t stop. Doesn’t matter how much someone drinks in one sitting or even during some horrible week at work.

True, I think I've played more Mass effect on my PS5 than PS5 games. I assume it is leading faster at least.. not a good investment. I should have stuck with my PS4 Pro.

Not knowing about Incus (LXD). It's a life changer. Would never run any service on bare metal again.

Using GenAI to develop my Terraform and Ansible playbooks is magical. Also, use it to document everything in beautiful HTML docs from the outputs. Amazing.

The article is clear, the market is reacting to Argentinians voting against Milei in mid-term elections, which also wasn’t in line with expectations. His policies are very popular with the market.

Argentina is a financial basket case from years of corruption and government overspending and printing money. I’m not surprised that the enthusiasm for his drastic fiscal restraint has waned quickly. There is no easy way out of these messes.

Toffifee. After eating the first layer, I immediately want to eat the second set underneath.

Would you believe Oracle OCI? They have an always free tier, as in you never pay. You need a valid regular credit card. At first I thought it was for a slow x86 instance, but it includes Arm hours equivalent to 4 cores, 24 GB RAM, 10TB of transfer a month, I think 200GB storage. Divide it up for an nginx reverse proxy in front of it, or HA Proxy if you are feeling ambitious.

Consistency between devices. Android isn't android, everyone mucks with it, especially Samsung.

TBF, Motorola is a bit misleading. Nothing against the product, (I love my RAZR), but they were basically diminished to a brand-name that is now owned by Lenovo.

Rebates shouldn't be on vehicles, but on charging infrastructure. The current infrastructure is woefully inadequate, and the infrastructure will last many decades, a car lasts maybe 1 to 2 decades.
Electric charging being cheaper than fuel should be the primary financial incentive. HOV Lane access, and other benefits should be enough to bolster demand.
The subsidies on luxury vehicles, Tesla's specifically, were a harmful policy mistake that have given idiots talking points that will be used years from now.

VIC-20 still going strong in 2025 with a MegaCart from Denial. I think my parents bought it for me in 1983. 42 years.. crazy.

Trump definitely has visions, but TACO!
