My hope for more reasonable pricing so they sell all units is then perhaps naive?

It's not a matter of time. And i dont want cloudflare to track me across many different sites, nor my website visitors.

I'm surprised to read they had an actual physical office you _could_ show up :)

was it a very distant location to head out to?

Creating aliases for the addresses you are actually using, e.g. a netflix@ signup is preferred over a general catch all, .. and all that spam senders can generate approach.

RAG, or Retrieval Augmented Generation, is an AI technique that improves large language models (LLMs) by connecting them to external knowledge bases to retrieve relevant, factual information before generating a response. This approach reduces LLM "hallucinations," provides more accurate and up-to-date answers, and allows for responses grounded in specialized or frequently updated data, increasing trust and relevance.

I was unaware what RAG referred to, perhaps other too.

Should the acronym not be 'PSPSP'? Or that sounds too much like luring a cat?

Does give you more things to 'hack' for the club. Not all bad I guess, and saving that amount of money is worth creating some 'new projects'.

"I’ve not seen any file corruption when importing to Darktable, so I am convinced this is a problem with the Photos app."

Yes this argument is a bit unconvincing for me. Not saying Apple photos doesn't corrupt his files, but this is not real proper investigating either.

I personally think it's fair if they charge by weight. The post office does it, why not airlines?

New comment by mobilemidget in "Ditching Obsidian and building my own"

mobilemidget — Mon, 19 May 2025 11:45:23 +0000

Even setting up your own couchdb + livesync should be a small task if one can consider to 'write a whole app' to replace obsidian

edit note, if you want to build something :) please expand livesync or a new plugin to allow easily sharing of self hosted obsidian notes :) All the ones I tried use some 3rd party hosting which I don't like even if its encrypted.

8 of the 10 Gbits I meant :) sorry I see it reads a bit weird yes. So 8 gbit for single line is the max currently. But huge competition on the horizon, so I expect soon more :)

Or.. Why on earth you need to check for updates 288x per day. It sounds and seems more like 'usage monitoring' rather than being sure that all users have the most recent bug fixes installed. What's wrong with checking for updates upon start once (and cache per day). What critical bugs or fixes could have been issued that warrant 288 update checks.
