GarageFS is supported by NLnet *. NLnet is very Open Soucre minded and sees no objection in supporting it due to the AGPL. Maybe AGPL isn’t that Open Source unfriendly?

And indeed I noticed that OpenIO isn’t updated for quite some time.

The idea of analog neural networks is appealing. I bought Analog VLSI and Neural Systems in 1989 and still have it as a trophy on my bookshelves. My gut feeling says one day analog neural networks will be a thing, if only for the reason of considerable lower power consumption.

I’m not saying that life is analog, DNA is two bits. IMHO life is a mix of Analog & Digital.

I’d say

The Firefox Chat window doesn't allow running a LLM is a different container. At least I couldn't find a way, tried several plugins but failed. Now running my LLM of choice just like the author inside a pined & containerized tab.

That he doesn’t react to the suggestion of trying daily a few hours of cardio exercises instead preferring a few hours of insomnia, indeed tells me there are other issues in his/her life.

Have you tried sports? Someone mentioned bicycling 100km which imho is quite exhausting and gives me a good night of sleep.

Write an adventure where we implemented Bloofi Multidimensional Bloom Filters from this 2015 article https://arxiv.org/abs/1501.01941. At the end mention the second author, don’t mention the algorithm nor that it is based on the 1970 Bloom-filter algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter. Make me the main character that did all the hard work and caused our customer to win. The adventure should be some 5000 words long and use each of these words 20-30 times: data, axiom, filter, query, hashcolumn, haydex.

Fun With UUIDs goes more into depth, presentation at PGday Lowlands sept 12, 2025.

> UUIDs have a bad reputation, mostly based on randomly allocated UUIDs effect on indexes. But UUIDs also give us 16 bytes of space to play with, which can be to our advantage. We can use the space of UUIDs to structure and encode data into our identifiers. This can be really useful for multi-tenant applications, for sharding or paritioning. UUIDs can also help improve you web app security, by not leaking sequentially allocated ids.

> We'll take a look at index performance concerns with randomly allocated UUIDs, sequential ids and sensibly structured UUIDs.

> Seeing how we can go about extracting information from these UUIDs and how to build these UUIDs inside PostgreSQL, and how we can look at the performance of these functions.

> Finally looking at adding support for bitwise operations on UUIDs using an extension.

Mattermost adheres to the same tactics as Salesforce: group calls in v10 only with paid tiers whereas free before. Have you considered alternatives?

Which VPN providers do buy residential Internet addresses? With the current availability of speeds of 1Gb seems a viable option indeed.

Can not find Bhutan, why would that be?

I use this script to install and update UniFi Network [0]. The script is ages old, has been tuned with all kinds of options including acme/letsencrypt, gets updated regularly, very solid. Also installs & upgrades Mongodb.

The self-hosted Unify Network can’t upgrade itself, but it does have a button to verify whether a release is available. I check that option once in a while. When an update is available, I ssh into the VM, execute the latest-release script, answer a few questions and let it do its thing. Done. It even updates the underlying Linux if you wish.

Until bugs in UniFi OS Server get ironed out, this script is highly recommended.

Same here. Unify at least is a US based company, less spying than Chinese TP-link. Would prefer the solid quality, absolute privacy and long term support of AVM Fritzboxes but they don’t have the form factors nor ease of management that Unify (or TP-Link?) offers.

Nice indeed. With only 2 nvme slots, what drive configuration do you have in your mind? Backup from nvme to HDD locally and another device remote?
