The sheer amount of internet disruption that goes on in Spain during soccer matches is just absolutely insane. People who pay for internet service and use it responsibly should not have their service disrupted by people pirating soccer matches. I can’t imagine the investors of the internet companies in Spain are happy about this either.

I’m just using .home.arpa for my self hosted stuff. Free, just have to deal with TLS root cert trust, but once that’s down; you’re golden.

How about the last pre-enshittified version of Minio?

I may not be the first to bring this up, but seeing the name of this program reminds me of Data’s evil brother

I was literally about to submit a mechanical watch as an example to the site im them submission, then i remembered I read the site you just linked to. My kid was amazed at all the gears and stuff in my mechanical watch

A 16 year boy apparently named his Bluetooth speaker “bomb” and couldn’t turn it off, as it was probably in checked luggage. Woof.

macos26 is just one big UI regression. Ugh.. so much wasted screenspace.

GitHub is not a monopoly. It never has been. You've always been able to self-host or you can use gogs, gitea, gitlab, bitbucket, you get the idea

I really wish that 1Password wasn’t an electron app. Or Spotify. (Maybe I should just use Spotify in the browser).

We need to advocate and evangelize for native apps, like RapidApi on macOS and also Tower.

I spend all day in a terminal multiplexer (zellij) with neovim and other splits. Using things like k9s / btop / lazygit / lazydocker helm / stern / whatever that systemd TUI I saw in here and started and will check out later just keeps me focused in one window, and that’s pretty cool

This is inexcusable. Just because sports right holders are worried about piracy doesn’t give them license to break normal internet operations. Spain, get your act together and put your equivalent of the content cartel in the penalty box.

I think Max Howell created Homebrew. I think McQuaid is the current maintainer

Sometimes I like a web page to bring information to me rather than having to go on a command line use those tools to find the data I want. YMMV.

samgranieri — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 23:02:12 +0000

I use this in my homelab. I really appreciate the systemd logging functionality in Cockpit.

It’s miles away from like Webmin, which I used god knows how long ago.

samgranieri — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 22:58:37 +0000

I used to use dnsmasq and etc/resolvers for stuff like dot dev or dit whatever back in the day.

These days I’m just using Caddy to do ..localhost for my web dev and it works like a charm.

This is exceptionally sloppy on Apple’s part.

New comment by samgranieri in "AirPods Max 2"

samgranieri — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 17:46:57 +0000

I really enjoy my AirPods Max. nice and seamless and good audio and good noise cancellation. Now, I also have a Schiit stack with HD6xx or the AKG k371s when I want to some serious listening. But these Apple cans work just fine and sound great. If the current pair I have gets destroyed then I’ll think about getting a new pair.

I think I'll just stick to simple games on iOS/iPadOS or just use my Nintendo Switch. These anti-cheat systems are far too invasive for my liking. I also worry about those things being hacked! The last time i built a gaming pc was 20 years ago, and i was playing Doom, FEAR, and Half Life Two.. Then i did some simple gaming on macOS
