Needed to figure out why my actions weren't working as I expected, so I decided to write-up my findings. Hope it helps out someone.

Coding is also not the same as engineering.

This repo and accompanying website have a pretty high vibe-coding look & feel.

How is this at version 3.0 in just two months?

Tried installing Cachyos yesterday, was playing Arc Raider like 15m later (mainly because I had to wait on the 30GB download). Zero issues so far. Next up is to see if Rocksmith 2014 wants to play ball.

New comment by ariejan in "An update to our pricing"

ariejan — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 20:42:23 +0000

With Windsurf I'm able to pick any of the premium language models. I.e. Claude 3.7 Sonnet costs 1 credit / prompt, whereas the thinking model costs 1.25 credits, and o3 costs a whopping 7.5 credits.

It's simply passing on the cost of respective model's costs, I think. I can image it's hard to come up with an affordable / interesting flat rate _and_ support all those differently priced models.

ariejan — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 15:34:10 +0000

My theory is this: the washing machine uses residual heat in the washed items to get them to dry. Plastic cools down too quickly to dry them completely. Mugs, plates or metal items stay hot longer.

I've been running mailcow for a long time to _receive_ mail. Sending was hit and miss. For a long time I could relay through my ISP, but that got me into delivery problems as well.

Now I've been relaying through Mail.baby/Interserver for 18 months or so and it works great. $1/mo base fee + usage. With the <100 mails me and my family send that adds up to $1.01/mo.

Not sure where you are, but 30kmh sounds Dutch. Filming the public road from your private residence is illegal.

In practice, no one cares. Cops will even ask you nicely for footage if something went down in your street.

Anyway, best of luck with your project.

From the article it appears that there will be an optional "pay-whatever" feature soon.

Meh, this feels more like marketing than open source. The "free" on premise hosted version is limited. Also, no mention of "apps", like inventory, stripe, PoS, etc. for the self hosted version.

Edit: it seems the on-premise version supports apps: There is no app included in any plan. All apps must be purchased separately from the App Store.

It's not uncommon for solder joints to get damaged due to heat stress. It happens to BGA compontents too when not properly cooled. The hair dryer may or may not have provided enough heat to fix a small crack (I didn't look up the temperature a hair dryer provides).

Did kind-of the same with my Philips TV a while back. Still going strong.
