An amazing video about programming and computers from 1971. Writing pseudocode with chalk on blackboards, with pencil on paper and finally using typewriters. Even if you don't speak Polish, watch it just for the visuals, it's beautiful

@npub1z6j…3hlg For me agrivoltaics are a gray area. I would much more prefer to see PVs installed on existing buildings only, and not take up green fields

So, for certain reasons I have bought a Logitech G515 TKL wireless mechanical keyboard.
And I cannot change the lighting pattern. Just no.
It is not possible under Linux. Piper does not see the keyboard, OpenRGB does not see it as well.
So I installed Windows 10 in a VM.

OK, now I am excited. A 45Drives NAS server smaller than the HL15. It has 8 3.5" HDD bays in a relatively small form factor. I'd prefer to get the larger rack mounted version, but this one would also fit my needs perfectly and for less money. Thanks @npub1z3y…kep0 for sharing!

I think the area of IT where you can see progress the most clearly is storage. CPUs moving from 100MHz to 5GHz is nice, but hey, storage is something different.
I remember PCs with single MBs of RAM, I remember PCs with 512MB of RAM, and today I sold 16GB of DDR3 RAM for 15 USD

New blog post!
Another episode in my homelab series. This time an update on the current state of my NAS/homelab/server. I write about the hardware I'm using, how I have set my ZFS storage, and the self-hosted apps I am running on my server.

Mastodon's (at least I think it's Mastodon's?) option to mute retoots from an account is a life changer. I feel there is too much traffic on my timeline lately, but I don't want to unfollow people, so muting retoots from some accounts will be a good first step to calm things down

Sooo, PiHole running on my NAS suddenly decided that it cannot handle my laptop's traffic, because the laptop is on the same local network. Which it is. It's on the exact same WiFi network, in the same 192.168.0.xxx space.
For now I just turned on handling non-local DNS requests in PiHole settings, I'm too tired today to go deep into the problem.
