I, for one, have grown exhausted of these surveys so haven't participated for a couple years now.

I feel the same. I have, however, discovered joy in running my own personal cloud with Tailscale, some Raspberry Pi's, Mac desktops, Jellyfin / Plex, and lots of personal mini web apps.

While, to me this feels like edging towards IoT, it's not something the layman home automation enthusiast understands (their eyes gloss over when I talk about it).

Why is Bill Gates a red flag? I am under the impression that he's done a lot of good for the world, especially around AIDs research.

I haven't read books in years. I read an incredible amount of code, does that count?

Probably one gets there first, then the other rush-releases theirs.

When you need to disable data retention, you cannot use subscription plans.

Is this a bigger problem on iOS 27? Should I continue to stay on 18?

I still prefer the Amazon shopping experience to anything else, unless I already know the product is available locally. The primary quality problem I've run into is the quality of the products themselves.

I pay Tailscale nothing, why switch?

I don't believe this is true of the past, but it'd be quite the twist if the extinguish phase was really just pure incompetence this whole time. It certainly seems that way right now with GitHub.

Even if it's not necessary, it brings more money.

That's too bad! Which Pi version and RAM configuration did you try?

That's it. I'm done with Google search. I just found you can add Kagi to Safari: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kagi-for-safari/id1622835804

I've gotten frustrated enough with my Apple TV that once my gen of hardware is no longer supported I'll replace it with a Raspberry Pi. I don't need fancy apps, just a browser for Jellyfin and (sometimes) YouTube. Any other incidental streaming service usage can also be done through a browser anyway.

There's a different bar for maintenance though. Many games exist in a single point in time, they ship and are done, whereas the goal with SaaS is to support the code forever.

money

- Default: Codex with Terra Max (because it's crazy cheap)

- Preferred: Claude Code with Opus 5 Medium

Many of the day 1 game breaking bugs still exist and every time I play it every couple years, they’re still there.

How do we know that they're not already putting 5G modems in them?

The FrontierCode 1.1 Extended benchmark is the only benchmark that aligns with my actual LLM experiences and Astra isn't significantly better or cheaper. All this celebration, and yet it's only on-par with an already existing model? I don't get it.

I use Safari for nearly everything and it's my favorite browser. It has some oddities, but I find just as many Chrome and Firefox bugs as I do Safari bugs. I use Firefox on everything else though.

Do you know this isn't vibe coded? (Idk if this is or isn't.) I don't mind vibe coded apps that are still good experiences.

I'm a lifelong Apple fan but my kids have Steam Decks and Raspberry Pis. I hope they grow to love Linux.

it is not going to end in 2 years

As a subscriber to GitHub Enterprise Cloud I assure you that it is not isolated from outages, not in any meaningful way that I have ever noticed.

To be fair, this is the best thing that can happen for the founders. I don't blame them.

Except for during Biden, they've been asleep for almost 50 years.

> I think it's commendable that they're not limiting access to the site or (intentionally) throttling newcomers.

I don't think this is commendable at all. I give GitHub a lot of money and I'm tired of it being wasted with downtime.

Do you have any meaningful level of faith in GitHub's ability to deliver on stability? At this point, I have none.

ssh in terminal and/or through VS Code. When needed, I also use Apple's Screen Sharing app.
