debian3··on Codex Resets
I just upgraded from Pro to Max 5x and I’m getting about 3.5x not 5x
debian3··on Stripe is friendly to “friendly fraud”
If you keep doing chargeback, then churning is a good thing
debian3··on Gemini CLI will stop working from June 18, 2026
The usual playbook is they rename it a few times first, then they kill it.
debian3··on Codex is now in the ChatGPT mobile app
You have access to 5.5 xhigh on free. Which model is missing except the 5.3 that run on cerebras?
debian3··on GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing
I had some 3x request that I did the math for fun on long running task, and at API price it would have been ~$260 that the in/out and cache. All that for $0.12.
debian3··on Why I love FreeBSD
> Is there anything FreeBSD can do that, say, Debian cannot?

Docker containers is a big one.

debian3··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
I was surprised to learn that they still replace the keyboard on m1 max when they service the battery. Probably you are due at this point. I just had mine done
debian3··on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away."
I’m always surprised when I watch a video that is 9 minutes old and the sponsors segments get skipped automatically. That extension must be getting quite popular.
debian3··on OpenClaw – Moltbot Renamed Again
I’m surprised Google haven’t renamed Gemini yet since Bard. Usually they rename them a few times before shutting them down.
debian3··on Opus 4.5 is not the normal AI agent experience that I have had thus far
Vs code copilot extension the harness is not great, but Opus 4.5 with Copilot CLI works quite well.
debian3··on I migrated to an almost all-EU stack and saved 500€ per year
True, just happened to one of my friend. 10 years old gmail account got suspended because he supposedly sent phishing emails. Which is completely false (he didn’t even understood what pishing was, he had google authenticator for totp). Ofcourse the appeal process was useless as no one reply to those. It’s been 2 months now. Own your domain.
debian3··on VPN location claims don't match real traffic exits
Yes and No. The internet sees it as a datacenter ip and some will degrade the experience based on that. Other are more strict and use a service like ipinfo.io (the op) to know exactly which Ip are used by a VPN provider and block access based on that list.
debian3··on VPN location claims don't match real traffic exits
If you ping it from UK and it ping >10ms then you know its there. And you are triangulating from multiple countries.
debian3··on After delays, Egypt set for lavish opening of grand museum
I’m conflicted. I understand the concept that stolen goods should be returned and it’s the right thing to do, but at the same time it was centuries ago and the preservation was done by them. I have seen well preserved exposition in that museum and then you visit the original country where it’s from and they themselves have nothing or very little left from that era.
debian3··on Power over Ethernet (PoE) basics and beyond
GS308EP or EPP if you need more power budget.

Netgear are hard to beat in terms of reliability/price. They also have a 5 and 16 ports fanless version.

I also got an old Juniper EX2200 24ports and replaced the fans with quiet noctua. It run quite hot, better go with Netgear.

debian3··on What I Self Host
When I read that someone disable password login (rightfully so), then they take additional steps to stop some bots to randomly brute force them with a password…
debian3··on iOS 26.1 lets users control Liquid Glass transparency
I just replaced the battery on my 13 mini (actually I got a brand new one since I still have Apple Care+ on mine and I did an express replacement). I’m good for an other 2 years.
debian3··on Ask HN: As a developer, am I wrong to think monitoring alerts are mostly noise?
You learn pretty quick. Like CPU I don’t alert on it, I do on load average which is more realistic. I’m also solo dev, so I do it on the 15min avg and it need to be above a pretty high threshold 3 times in a row. I don’t monitor ram usage, but swap instead. When it trigger it usually something need to be fixed.

Also check for a monitoring solution with quorum, that way you don’t get bothered by false positives because of a peering issue between your monitoring location and your app (which you have no control over).

debian3··on Migrating from AWS to Hetzner
Same here, been running dedicated servers with OVH since 2009, if anything bare metal server are more stable than before. I just replaced a set of servers that was from 2018, I didn’t have any hardware problems during their 8 years of working under significant load. During that time I had 2 or 3 power outages, a few more network outages. Usually problems come in a cluster. I had a few years that I had nothing to report, 100% uptime. Dedicated are nice, but I guess it scares people. Hetzner use lower hardware quality than OVH on some of their offerings, so your experience may vary. One of the most important thing is to check that your server use datacenter SSD/HDD with ECC ram, it saves you a lot of problems.
debian3··on Zed's Pricing Has Changed: LLM Usage Is Now Token-Based
Still very poor. Not sure why they have so much trouble catching up. I would have expected them to by now. Cursor is still the best by far, followed by Windsurf (free by the way).
debian3··on Google AI Pro and Ultra Plans Get Gemini CLI and Code Assist with Higher Limits
Problem with the free plan is they cut you out of gemini 2.5 pro after a few request. So 1000 sound good, but most of it is with gemini flash 2.5.

If Gemini 3.0 is a good model, it could become a good offering.

debian3··on Hetzner Storage Boxes

debian3··on Debian Upgrade Marathon: 3.1 Sarge
I also started with 3.1 as my very first linux experience. I never felt the need to change distro over the years. Just yesterday I upgraded 3 servers to debian 13, one from debian 11 and one from 12.

I wish I had more stories to tell, but that’s the thing I like about Debian.

debian3··on Hetzner Storage Boxes
For stuff like archive and backup you can use ovh object storage infrequent access. Comes to 5$ per GB but you pay for what you use only and it scale infinitely.
debian3··on iPhone Air
My battery is at 80% after 2 years. Mine is still on AppleCare+. I always do express replacement so I get a « new » one. Hopefully my battery reach 79% soon.
debian3··on Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed
They haven’t. They had time to catch up, but they didn’t. They recently switched their auto complete model from 4o-mini to 4.1-mini. It’s not smarter at predicting what you are trying to do. Nothing magical like last year experience on Cursor (I haven’t tested lately, so it might be even better now).

I heard Windsurf is quite good and the closest to Cursor magic, available on Windsurf free plan (unlimited autocomplete). I should give that a try.

debian3··on A power shortage could short-circuit Nvidia's rise
There is tons of big power producing electric dams in the middle of nowhere (north of Québec province). It’s also cold most of the year. As far as I know, datacenter doesn’t mean tons of technical workers (except during the building phase). Bringing fiber would not be impossible.
debian3··on How I code with AI on a budget/free
GH Copilot is my guess. Not free, but $10 a month or free for students
debian3··on Tokens are getting more expensive
How do you link the openai sub to Gh copilot? I thought you needed to use OpenAI api
