I'm hearing more news of people around me dropping TikTok for new privacy popups. Whatever gets them off the app makes me happy as long as they don't switch over to Instagram instead XD.

Bummer. I was really hoping to have all my monitors back this week but the dock I ordered was DOA. I also still need to order a PS2-usb adapter so I can get back to using my old keyboard.

It really looks like big tech is, once again, extracting money from oss devs/teams with LLM products that only run on centralized walled garden platforms. Other note: the OpenAI api is the only thing actually open, just let me put my own api url into it. That's all you have to do. Thanks.

Unless I'm missing something the step from free Letsencrypt certs to small PKI with intermediates is outrageously expensive no? Digicert and Verisign want a few hundred $ per month, and providers only offer managed solutions. What if I want to manage my own intermediate CA bundle? Who sells that at a reasonable price?

We used to call this client side scanning. View quoted note →

I was able to finalize some business closing stuff in 2024 and 2025 and I will finally be letting some unused domains expire. Some of these domains I've held on to for over a decade now. It's a weird feeling, good feeling though. Good to get stuff out from over my head. Ill get to save about $42 this year XD
