The animated bird, the kea is absolutely fabulous. I appreciate the effort and detail that went into this.

For the first time I bought some new hardware, didn't bother to look at manufacturers site and just wrote what I wanted from scratch.

I just moved from github to vodeberg then to my own self hosted forgejo on hetzner. I may wait awhile and then try yours.

Thank you very much. I have a Voroni Clan map of Scotland which I have improved with this and I now think it looks better https://www.tartandictionary.org/ Making it accurate will take time but this is great.

Like others I migrated from github to codeberg. But since lots of my projects are coauthored with Claude I moved to self hosting Forgejo on a small Hetzner instance which also does some static hosting. So far working well. I think some cross platforms stars and search would be good.

I was inspired by Nicklaus Wirth when he wrote his own language opearting system and CPU. LLM allow many more to do this like you so am seriously impressed. It is also fun.

I have done this with the help of Claude. codeberge first, using static host for my pages and a Hetzner woodpeckr for a tiny amount of testing. working well so far.

Me too - I am 65 and coding all hours. At least half the time on tooling to encode the way I want to do things. I have ideas and implement them. I think it is fun as you make more progress. I do think it is a temporary phase and not sure if the next one will be as much fun or once I have drained the accumulated ideas that would be nice to do someday.

I feel selfish in that I am towards the end of my career rather than right at the start.

My son wrote this (no AI), he got the lectures tab (written by the latest Codex 5.3 rampant for 2 1/2 hours) with Codex 5.3 of which ca 70% is written by itself. It feels like the singularity is now. It is remarkable what you can get done.

New comment by hum3hum3 in "The Synology End Game"

hum3hum3 — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 08:38:40 +0000

It is sad. I liked my Ds with ecc. It has been great but it complains about the non synology memory. So it sounds like it will be my last after about 20 years

I am thinking about replacing my Synology BUT I have had three and now ECC over the last 20 years and they have done their job faullessly. There are stupid things now like complaining about non Synology ram modules.

Me too. It works really well now that I have a silent version with SSD and passive heat sink. This avoids my son turning it off because the fan noise annoys him. I am thinking about adding kubernetes for failure resilience but that is a work in progress.

I am happy to start digging into Authelia.

Are you using the gokrazy router as well?

New comment by hum3hum3 in "The Influence of Japanese Archaeology on the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild"

hum3hum3 — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 07:19:30 +0000

I know virtually nothing about gaming culture. But eons ago was interested in Japanese pottery. My understanding then was the start of Japanese culture in 300 ad with importation of styles and language from Korea. I have no memory of the Jomon period. But now that long stable period snd uniquely Japanese culture from the Jomon period seems a vital strand of Japanese culture. Do the article is interesting to bring that to life in a gaming context.

hum3hum3 — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 06:54:01 +0000

OK I have been writing code for 50 years but can only use cursor for home use. From my experience, I echo the authors comments. You do have to be careful with larger suggestions that it makes sense but the syntax will be right. It is just faster.

You should never use floats for money. In python Decimal works well. TigerBeatle uses 128 bit accounts and amounts which I thought was interesting although more than needed gor many cases.

I have used and liked FastHTML although I was going in a different direction (not very modern and no javascript) https://github.com/drummonds/lofigui. It works well.

The counting/estimstion technique is rather like a floating point number. An integer exponent k and a mantissa of a population.
