I know it's a bit insane, but I do daily LTO-6 backups of my workstation. I was able to get a working setup for around $250 since I was willing to work with an "autoloader" drive, but honestly it works great and is really nice peace of mind to have my critical stuff protected. I keep banking to my iPhone these days -- though I can't say it's for sure safe. I probably should add that to the backup.

One of the first in-browser vibe coded game demos I saw was Half-Life 2, fwiw. Not sure if it was decomped.

One interesting thing that is relevant today -- I generally write drafts of READMEs in whatever model I am developing with, and end up rewriting almost all of it. Today I pasted my readme from claude into Gemini 4 Argon, and asked it to rewrite for natural reading and clarity, and got the current README. I'm impressed!

>These permission prompts are a part of a macOS subsystem called Transparency, Consent, and Control (TCC), although Apple doesn’t seem to use this name anymore.

I have a PiKVM on my Mac Mini for this reason, and I bet the author would be well served by one as well.

Yes, it does work with Fairydust, but you do need to use a USB-C cable in place of the included thunderbolt cable at the moment.

HDMI out works great on M1 and M2 chips, and DP alt mode output is nearly ready, and works if you compile an experimental kernel. I daily drive an Asahi Linux ALARM M1 Pro macbook, and I have almost zero complaints.

The Asahi installer does this automatically, it guides you through sizing. You run it in a macOS terminal. By default, Asahi will be the default boot option, and to get to macOS you hold the power button on boot until it says "Loading startup options..."

I have two M1 pro asahi macbooks, and I only use macOS for VirtualDJ or AirPlay.

Unless you run overnight, you could schedule a cron job to send a basic claude -p prompt such as "reply with hello" using haiku to align your usage windows. That's what I do.

I've been using the 35B-A3B today for some web scraping work, and it has been on par with Qwen3.8 27B at a much higher speed and at a higher quant (q4 vs q8). I'm impressed.

Craigslist?

I found more that weren't accepted than I did that were in the couple minutes I played -- Michelle Obama, Melania Trump, Kate Middleton, Rosa Parks, Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace

Cool idea!
