ZeWaka··on Shutting down our public encrypted DNS
Switched to Windscribe at the time, quite cheap.
ZeWaka··on Portal by Spotify cut my Claude Code token usage by 90%
Yep, there's also prewalk.
ZeWaka··on Small Models Have Arrived
I've found Luna to be quite capable.
ZeWaka··on More Tailscale tricks for your jailbroken Kindle
Tried it. Unfortunately /way/ too laggy and unresponsive on my 2015 paperwhite.
ZeWaka··on Online Friends Are Real Friends
Shared interests on small chat platforms. Discords for a niche subject replaced the old IRC channels. Twitch chats for small-medium streamers also work similarly (which was based on IRC!)

I'm just lazy and toggle airplane mode with the send-to-kindle @kindle.com email, though sometimes Amazon isn't happy and doesn't send it.

It does refresh the lockscreen ads for a month or so, though. I have a cover so they don't really bother me.

> I don’t like the “file explorer” view

Exact reason why despite having a jailbroken Kindle, I stick to the stock book browser. It's so tough to navigate on an old-gen Kindle with a low refresh rate.

ZeWaka··on Sleep regularity is a stronger predictor of mortality risk than sleep duration (2023)
Sauna and then a lukewarm shower to cool down is also great.

Interesting, my doctor recommends doing a blood panel every 5 years.

We just use `marked` currently for some light markdown rendering in a game engine. This does look like it offers much better extensibility if we ever needed that - thanks for the clarity!
ZeWaka··on Astro 7.0
How does Satteri compare to a standard library like marked (https://github.com/markedjs/marked)?
ZeWaka··on Tokyo has only two barley tea makers, we visited one to see how mugicha is made
They carry it at my local HMART.

It's very interesting. Why even release a new product that underperforms at the same price level? Why not just lock it?

I guess it's probably a lot cheaper for them to run, and it cuts costs for them. Seems disingenuous, though.

ZeWaka··on Anonymous GitHub account mass-dropping undisclosed 0-days
VLC != VNC
ZeWaka··on US Consumer Price Index up 4.2%
I don't work as a specialist, nor at any "special" company in the tech industry, and my yearly wage increase has met or exceeded inflation. Nor has there been any layoffs at my large company.
ZeWaka··on Show HN: Putt.day a daily mini golf game
Doesn't seem to render on Firefox.
ZeWaka··on AI agent bankrupted their operator while trying to scan DN42
Especially the part where they're asking for Ethereum.
ZeWaka··on US Consumer Price Index up 4.2%
Are you assuming yearly wages not increasing to match/exceed inflation every year?

The logical point here doesn't make much sense to me otherwise.

ZeWaka··on Claude Fable 5
Clearly we need AI to generate more Sanctuary Moon seasons. Quick, spin off agentic showrunners!
ZeWaka··on Major P2P issues in Israel and possibly other Middle East countries
Feature begging on GH has been a thing since forever, I remember plenty of it 10 years ago.
ZeWaka··on Stop Killing Games
I was speaking in the sense that the base game is free and you can buy it with non-ascii graphics for a price.

However,

The "raws" that drive the game are completely configurable and accessible by a user.

It's more like the engine being closed source and the gamedata being source-available. Modding isn't quite the right word - that implies it being less open.

You can delete stuff from being present in your game, add new plants or objects, new diseases, etc.

Also related, the game has been opened up with Lua scripting thanks to Putnam's efforts, for even more powerful procedural addons.

Dwarf Fortress is a modern example of that paradigm.
ZeWaka··on London's Free Roof Terraces
Absolutely, it's just somewhat wild they got permission to build the deck.
ZeWaka··on What if remote working, not AI, is to blame for weak junior hiring?
Maybe in a small office, but certainly not one with a few hundred.
ZeWaka··on Atherton spent $145K to delay train electrification. The rest of us paid $400M
It's absurd at this point.
ZeWaka··on United Airlines 767 returns to Newark after Bluetooth name sparks alert
Doesn't even need to be a speaker. Just a battery and transmitter.

ZeWaka··on London's Free Roof Terraces
However, Tate got the permission to build the viewing deck before the apartments were built.
ZeWaka··on Microsoft Office 2019 and 2021 for Mac view-only conversion
Really? It's been pretty good with a Ghidra MCP at signature scanning for extremely niche undocumented software.

used a lot in legal settings, yes - "bob was trespassed at that time"
