It's nothing new to make a DNS service free, but still kudos to Bunny. I moved to Bunny CDN couple of months ago from CF and it's been great so far. They don't have all that fancy things that CF has, but I guess it's also not their target. It's a great and extremely fast CDN that makes it easy to host many kind of websites. They also have things like Edge Rules, WAF, Cache Control etc.

I deploy my website using their API. So on every push, GitHub Actions builds it and copies the dist/ to Bunny and purges the cache afterwards. Everything has been working perfectly. I can only recommend. It's also quite easy if you don't know about the modern way of doing things and just want to use an FTP to put your website online. Especially attractive for IndieWeb folks.

Correct. In Bunny you have a $1/month minimum cost. I guess that's so low for them, that it's kinda nothing.

I thought the same. I like the idea of it and probably use it to find nice blogs, but it looks like AI-coded.

Well, maybe I should have used relativity unimportant. And yes there should be a way to turn them off. In OrbStack it was not possible to do that until lately.

“What“ might be a long answer, but why anyone might want one is to have increased torque density for the given volume and diameter. So they are thin motors where the generated flux is parallel to the shaft. And they are like the standard PMSMs where you apply the same driving algorithm from the inverter side to use them.

I remember when YASA announced it and when MB bought them. Amazing technology and advancement in electric motor design. Good to see they somehow try to commercialize it.

Understand. And yeah that‘s annoying. I use containers only for development and to keep my main system secure from supply chain attacks. I have almost no build tooling in my Mac anymore. No npm, no cargo, no uv. Nothing. They all live inside the container which is completely isolated.

I guess my use case is not that important for the main user of these tools.

I see. Why this interests me is the similar stuff I have been reading lately. All these supply chain attacks regarding npm, Tanstack etc. Therefore I wanted to create a totally isolated sandbox and while considering options I have seen they all by default mount the $HOME. I needed to explicitly tell colima to not do that.

But yeah, I guess my use case is not the main use of such tools or their purpose in general. Thanks for the link, I‘ll take a look at it.

I don‘t understand why these tools always advertise about mounting the $HOME inside the container. Isn‘t it better to have a complete isolation? Isn‘t that the point of using such a thing?

Pardon my ignorance, but isn’t this more or less a fancy goto?

Good to hear they added true isolation. I had immediately moved to Colima when I was considering options because of this.

I think so, because it's created in Meta, thus having a huge developer base already and spread its way out of there. If you earn your life writing it, because your employer forces you to do so and you never try other stuff that long, you end up liking it.

I have never found the idea of having a Virtual DOM and diffing in runtime a good solution to the problem, maybe that's why I never liked React. I mean if you are writing a lot of code, have an enormous build step already and use a bloated library, why not have it compiled too anyway. That's why I like the thinking behind Svelte.

I knew it was going to be ugly, but did not expect an abomination. You surprised me indeed Ferrari.

Every now and then I see similar posts and people move to Proton from Gmail, because it is European. Well, it’s fine if that‘s the only reason you switch, but if you switch because US became weird and lost your trust, you might want to check their CEO‘s comments on political issues.

Electronics engineer here. I use my HP Prime G2 daily in the lab for basic things as well as quickly calculating complicated stuff, since you can pretty much program it to do whatever you want.

You might say why not use Python or Matlab?! It‘s true that you don‘t need a small handheld device to do engineering calculations where there is a ton of other much stronger and free options out there. But the thing is, a calculator is a pure dedication to one thing. You turn it on, you do your calculation, get the answer and move on. It gets out of your way. Plus it is a better feeling to type stuff using the dedicated buttons in a calculator than using a keyboard.

Just out of curiosity: what's the point of having a zettelkasten/digital garden type of a system if you don't synthesize your own thoughts and outcomes by yourself? I mean what is the expectation out of this? You sort of prompt something there and it generates a probably long form stuff which is saved somewhere deep in folders. Are you going to read them at some point or your main use case will be just again talking to LLM while your vault being the context?

Some excellent advice there. I can also confirm them from hardware engineering perspective.

Isn't it better to have light on the back of the screen? Like illuminating the wall slightly?

- I use my HP Prime at work almost daily and I love that it has a touch screen where I can quickly copy paste past calculations. This in my opinion is better than using a stack calculator and RPN. There are also some small programs I wrote for like calculating parallel pairs for a given resistor value, based on E-Series since calculating resistors for stuff is quite a standard thing for your day as an hardware design engineer.

- I also have a Casio fx-991ES Plus which I bought during my student years and love to use it, because it is way faster for quick stuff than my Prime and I changed its battery in the past 10 years just once. This is not the case for Prime where I have to charge it every week or two. But doesn't bother me. Prime is an amazing calculator.

Not writing as much as I wanted to, but nevertheless it‘s my space on the grand scheme of things.
