The early videos of their lab results looked a big enough scam that I couldn't believe people were buying the hype.

This could have been so much worse if a big tsunami was triggered though. Thankful the shaking didn't generate one

Props for bringing up Subspace! What a fun game that deserves more players! (And a new client ui)

Bruh, $200/m for most people in the US is also a hard "no!". That's a lot of money. Plus Anthropic isn't doing good deals with orgs that spend less than 250k a month. It's ridiculous.

skullone — Mon, 04 May 2026 04:07:45 +0000

I went RKE2, k3s is nice, but a little too minimal for my tastes. With a few hundred MB ram used, I've got an internal container registry, openbao for secrets, caddy for edge TLS, rabbitmq, and powerdns for exposing k8s ingress. Plus all the standard network policies, which while verbose, gets me nearly all the way there of traditional firewalls and networking.

New comment by skullone in "Framework Laptop 13 Pro: Major Upgrades and Linux Front and Center"

Don't think that's a fair assessment. They set forth to build modular, repairable laptops you could get parts from 3rd parties with design files available to 3d print or manufacture. They are sticking by those goals. They've expressed interest in open sourcing their firmware or supporting coreboot but that's very much a stretch goal and would take a team of lawyers and a lot of money to suss out

I don't know about "only doing trivial things". I've built a fully threaded webmail replacement for Gmail using imap, indexes mail to postgres, local Django webapp renders everything in a Gmail/Outlook style threaded view with text/html bodies and attachments and a better local search than gmail, and runs all locally. Started as a "could I?" and ended up exceeding all my expectations

My old Lenovo t420 has been running 24/7 pegged as a multi-camera DVR since 2011, no issues whatsoever. Of course the battery is removed, but I don't see many decent laptops struggling running under load for prolonged periods.
