@skinnylatte fwiw this kept happening to me with Budapest in my glory days of months of back-to-back travel. And more than anything, my favorite spots kept closing, so yeah I can relate (funnily enough, this also happened to one of my fav places in Singapore when I'd return after couple months and find it closed, place was called Artistry cafe, it did western/cosmopolitan brunch (and pancakes!) phenomenally well, still miss it to this day — wonder how many of my old frequents will find when I eventually get to visit again...)

@cwebber it's like a chatbot, except it does precisely what you type it to do (for better or worse)

@skinnylatte (tbf they do make pretty decent pancakes too! :D)

I am already looking forward to live vicariously through your escapades back home 💖

(I looked at the video you shared and I was like "if I put this on I will either die of FOMO or dehydration as the last drip of moisture escapes my continuously salivating body)

@neil sounds like a "vim-vim situation" tbh!

@nickyttrpg "it won't stop here." it better not, Linda, it better not!!

@dalias @aud oh, I didn't know, do you have a link handy?

I tried it a couple months back and, despite all the boosterism, you can turn all the "AI" crap off upfront with a single "kill-switch", and after that it's just a much better Sublime Text, I've been using it as my main editor since.

Okay #lazyweb fedi, can someone explain me what's Bad Bunny and why it's a big deal? 😅

I got limited screen time today and this keeps popping up and is irking me :D

Started seeing more US YouTubers using their platforms to try to counterbalance the billionaire-captured mainstream media, as they should be. We will see how long it will take Google to take notice, until then I'm glad they do and truly hope it makes a difference. The more people realize it (and faster) that "this is not normal" and also it won't just "go away" on its own, the better.

Oh yes, Apple is, of course, doing it, too.

…and when Apple doesn't do it, it allows your corpo overlords do it instead:

Cyberpunk is not pretty neon lights and flying cars. Cyberpunk is is corporations owning the air you breath and the synthetic blood in your veins, then renting it back to you, a wage slave (h/t Neofeud @silverspookgames ). Cyberpunk is resisting. Cyberpunk is reclaiming your digital sovereignty, by seizing the means of computation (h/t @pluralistic, and particularly Unauthorized Bread)

@soatok does awoooo!ing count? (do dholes awooo? 💭)

@killyourfm https://blog.briancmoses.com/2025/11/diy-nas-2026-edition.html is a good start if you are thinking of building your own, which is generally a great idea, in a post-AI-capitalist-manufactured-scarcity world (this one) buying new will be 💰 and going TinyMiniMicro will serve you well. It's better to start off somewhere and improve from there, than not start at all (that's what I did just a couple years back).

I went full SSD on my server (you could buy fairly cheap Samsung QVO quad level cell flash at some point which is good for "bulk" archival storage but is not a speed champion) for the power and noise advantage, but spinning metal is still cheaper and better if you have a lot of storage need (e.g. for video), ofc. a mix is nice and throwing in an NVMe or two will get your VMs blazing.

RE: OS I wenth through many of the usual suspects, Proxmox, TrueNAS and just ended up with vanilla Debian & containers. It works.

I like https://www.hardwarehaven.media 's content, very down-to-earth homelabbing stuff

@jessie despite the overflowing doggie toybox, @iris is adventurous and likes to occasionally steal random things like rolls of electrical tape or other appetizing gadgetry (lying around in the boxes waiting to be unpacked) to gently nibble on them (which usually end up intact but just profoundly unsuitable for their originally intended purpose following the encounter)

Google has been doing it for years…

Microsoft has been doing it since forever…

Amazon is, of course, doing it…

Yet every single time it happens, people are surprised, outraged and—most of all—helpless. It keeps happening because we allow it to happen, over and over again.

I'm proud of you Budapest :rainbow_heart:

"The situation for Tesla in Canada is even worse than in Europe right now. It’s not the largest market in terms of size, but it has a significantly higher EV adoption rate than the US and has helped Tesla in North America." love to see it :burning_poop:
