I run nginx which proxies into a few personal web projects I work on plus Forgejo. I also run irssi and immich.

I do pay a little more, 16 euros per month, but this is largely to have 1TB of space.

I have had my own VPS since around 2010. Before that I was running an old Sun machine as a home server, but it was so heavy and unwieldy I gave it away when I moved.

I'm sorry, I still don't get it (I did assume that was the Muse you referred to first).

How would Muse do that?

Op is saying that everybody's wage is suppressed to the level of the H1B holder.

What I meant by it was that I read every line of code generated, made sure I understood its purpose and either manually rewrote it if I felt there was a better way or asked Claude to do it. E.g. there was a bug where the password could end up in a configuration labelled as a username. Claude's initial fix was to simply exclude 'username' in a for loop, but I asked it to find examples in similar code in other codebases to see what the best practice was and ended up basing to fix on what is done in Gnome.

I had a PR in flight that got closed because of this. I had an issue with passwords in the network applet for the VPN and had used Claude to help me identify and then come up with a fix. I did spend a lot time handcrafting and making sure the quality was good, but I respect their decision and no hard feelings, but as someone who have struggled to find time and opportunity to contribute to open source it was a small set back.

I had begun the 7th Expanse book, Persepolis Rising, but got distracted by a copy of Joseph Conrad's Victory I found lying around, so I'm half way through that.

I recently finished Gibson's Mona Lisa Overdrive.

The Expanse have been great, but I think I will be good and ready to say good bye when I'm done with the mainline novels.

I don't really read long form non-fiction, which is probably a character flaw, but for me reading is a form of escapism. I love Sci-Fi very much (both classical and modern) and I try to mix and match so I read about equal amounts sci-fi and non-sci-fi.

Unless you think they are outright lying, the press release does say it will be immediately deleted.

I find it significantly harder to cook with electric than gas, and the first hurdle these days is always that for some reason all modern stoves use awful touch interfaces instead of just plain knobs. I don't understand how we got there. It should be obvious to anyone that it's a terrible interface when you are trying to multitask several pots and might also have greasy hands

You can not improve on perfection!

Instead of just various penis challenged nation leaders doing so...

I agree Thimbleweed Park was a little rough, a bit like Maniac Mansion if you like. What gives me hope is that Monkey Island 5 was really really good, so I feel he's back in his grove.

I did that, and had to take a bollocking from the HR guy at the company I took the first offer from, but I don't regret it.

It might not work in your scenario, but I too listen to radio a lot and found the signal issues annoying. My car is pretty old and doesn't have aux/bluetooth input so I can't plug in my phone and use the Sounds app, but I got a bluetooth to FM signal transmitter and now listen to my phone through my car radio, including a lot of streaming radio.
