The new container tool is also very nice on MacOS

That did not age well.

That sounds like an awesome concept. However, I'm restarting Linux usage after 10 years on Mac, and I am surprised on how much less annoying the Shift-ctrl-v is compared to what I expected.

Do you happen to know similar queries for Oracle?

Lovely. Do you have some tips for that? Something you put in bashrc?

I think DHH compares them because they are both the latest, top-line chips. I think DHHs benchmarks show that they have different performance characteristics. But DHHs favorite benchmark favors whatever runs native linux and docker.

For local LLM the higher memory bandwith of M4 Max makes it much more performant.

Arstechnica has more benchmarks for non-llm things https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/08/review-framework-des...

I've thought about this too. But I can't even tell what would be the good default. At low load events seem nicer, but at high load polling seems necessary?

Yes. That mainboard repurpose is awesome! A dedicated mini can probably have better/quieter cooling. Fingers crossed.

Are you considering some quiet NUC-type machines? I have a very nice Starlabs Byte v1, but even more competition for the Mac Mini would be great.

Lovely writeup. Making that webpage must have taken quite some time also?

A question out of curiosity. What are your thoughts on re-writing in Swift?

If it were me, I am sure my tech-fingers would itch for a rewrite, but my business hands would slap those thoughts away.

Thanks for the great posts. Will you also do a post about MacOS this year?

Traffic is bad, but fossil traffic is strictly worse than EV traffic. So again, it seems possible to advocate both less traffic and that the remaining traffic should be better.
