I have been running an old HP thin client (I think either a t510 or t520). It’s holding up surprisingly well as a general purpose home server. It is low power, completely silent, comes with 16GB onboard SSD and loads of ports. I’ve added tw

This article reminds me a bit about a core theme in Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, which I'm coincidentally reading (mild spoiler warning). The science of psychohistory that is used to predict the future and create the Seldon P

That sounds like a lot more work than just allowing <img src=“my image.jxl”>. Are you proposing that every website comes with their own set of WASM libraries to allow its content to be rendered (each with their own bugs)? Why stop the

I'm hoping this takes off (unintended pun, but I'll leave it in). Nibble away at use cases for hydrocarbon-powered jet flights with alternatives like these until there's nothing left and/or we have a sustainable alternat

My preorder (the first game I preordered in 20 years) came one day early. It was the closest I've come to that childhood feeling of a birthday or Christmas present. Spent a few hours on it after putting my kid to bed and it's defi

I think I was in my late twenties when I found out I had been tying my shoes wrong all my life. There is a correct and an incorrect way to do it. This affects not just how the knot looks (straight vs crooked), but also how easily it becomes
