Lost access to a hard drive that’s still physically there but not showing on Windows 💻. It holds some irreplaceable data, though I have an outdated backup. Hard drive prices are sky-high 📈, so I’m trying another PC to recover the data before considering replacement. Fingers crossed! #SelfHosting

I’ve been seeing all these new blogging platforms being built on top of ATProto, and it got me thinking: why haven’t we seen more full-fledged blogging platforms built on Nostr? And what about other things like email or chat? #Tech #ATProto #Nostr

TV Isn't What It Used to Be I don't watch this series, though it has interested me. Still, its general theme fits what I want to talk about here. People wonder why TV viewing and TV series are dying. Well, when you...

It’s been a productive weekend. I got my Tempest Weatherstation set up 🌦️ and moved the Nest TowerCam to the backyard for better views 📸🌳. Now I’m focusing on refining the software side of things in my homelab.

I know this might be controversial, but ChatGPT 5.6 SOL is really, really good. The tables have turned now, it’s Anthropic’s new model, Claude 5, that reminds me of when ChatGPT first introduced something that felt like a step back. Even in coding, it seems to be outpacing Claude, probably because they hobbled it for the government.

I really like Amethyst’s edit-post feature on Android. I just wish more clients displayed edits consistently. I wish there were an Amethyst app for Windows desktop. It would be great to have a more unified NIP or standard approach for editing notes so clients handle it the same way. Thanks to the Amethyst author for all the work on the app: nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hs844lyj
