It's a late development but for the last 6 years I do stuff that my teenage self always wanted to do but never was able to, due to missing knowledge, equipment, time and money. And honestly, when I do those things, I imagine my teenage self loosing his goddamn shit about it while cheering hard for me. And this feels so satisfying!

Cool idea. Two data points here, one: Russia is one of the main sources for uranium, so yes, nuclear power is good for Putin. And two: You have to factor in a solution to keep the spend rods safe for about 100.000 years. Which means either the energy is too expensive compared to renewal sources or someone else pays the bill, for example future generation. And until then terrorists can use it for dirty bombs, if not guarded properly (see: Someone else's bill)

I saw another approach this weekend, which sadly only works with AI agents running on linux: Set up CLAUDE.md and AGENT.md as symlinks pointing to /dev/urandom.

2026-06-21 11:30:51 UTC

I just had "the talk" with my 9yo. He came to me asking "Dad, why does AI use so much water just for generating one answer?"
So I explained to him how LLM works, how GenAI came out of that and why AI is a marketing term and absolutely wrong in that context.
Then I loaded GPT4All on my laptop and asked the thing what the result of 9+7 is. It took my poor laptop cpu 12 seconds to come up with an answer and another 12 seconds to generate the sentence with the answer. I showed him how fast kcalc (using the CPUs ALU functions) comes up with the answer for that specific question.
And then I asked a followup question, which almost take 2 minutes to compute. I showed him how the previous question and its answer became part of the prompt which made the calculation longer more complicated just to emulate a dialoge.
He noticed that my laptops CPU fan stepped up and started to roar to get rid of the core heat. Then I explained to him how AI datacenters solve all this ineffitiency by running millions of servers in parallel and how this generates so much heat that it "uses" cooling water by just boiling it until it vapourizes.
I then explained the current business model and how the companies currently burn through their cash to be the last one standing on the market when everyone else dropped out or became bankrupt. What we user pay for using this and what we actually would have to (and in the future probably will) pay for this service.
Needless to say, my kid is not a big fan now.

An important lession we kids learned in germany when talking to older people:
There might be people who decided to ignore the genocide. And later say "But we just followed orders!" or "But we didn't know anything about all of this. We would have protest, but we just didn't know!!"
And then you go to the archive and check the local newspapers from that time, read through the articles and realize: It's a lie. Everyone knew.

This morning we talked in our team about the exploding costs for github copilot and I said "But it was always clear that the service is too cheap and companies burn capital in an unimaginable scale to push it on the market. Now they have to make up for the losses AND earn enough revenue to meet their insane Return on Investment promises. They have to go full Broadcom now in a way that even Broadcom will say 'Wow, when we did this with VMware, we should have pushed harder!'" which end up everyone to laugh painfully (because we were at that time in the middle of a server migration away from VMware)

So...
- they came to your location personally with one person taking the samples and another person as courier to the lab
- they prepared a PCR test and tested for a broad bandwidth of pathogens
- they send you the result within 24 hours
- they billed you 8-9 Euros for this
Okay, THAT is cool.

I learned that all this is not necessarily publicly known outside of germany and even here many people don't understand if grandpa fell and broke something but refuses to see a doctor about it. A friend of mine brought up that specific example and it blew his mind when he realized why his grandpa was like that.
At least amongst my friends it lead to people talking to their grandparents about this, asking questions but also take their panic seriously and helping them through it.
I lost my grandma because she refused to take her blood pressure medication. Same reason.

For context: Giving "euthanasia" to disabled or chronically ill people ("not lifeworthy") was absolutely a thing during Das dritte Reich here in germany.
Older generations still refuse to go to the hospital, claiming they are healthy, and are shitless afraid that they will be killed there.

Ich habe als unbekannt neurodivergenter Mensch meine Wehrpflicht geleistet für dieses Land und erlebt wie mitten in meiner Dienstzeit Flugzeuge ins WTC geflogen wurden, amerikanische Kasernen sich von jetzt auf gleich eingebunkert haben und mein Batteriechef auf einmal im U-Raum stand und Freiwillige für Einsätze in Afghanistan gesucht hat: "Aber machen Sie sich keine Illusionen, wenn wir nach Afghanistan gehen, werden nicht alle wieder zurückkommen..."
Das hat genug mit mir gemacht um heute zu sagen, dass ich keines meiner neurodivergenter Kinder in dieses Gebilde werfen werde, damit ihnen jemand ins Gesicht brüllt "STILLGESTANDEN HEISST STILLGESTANDEN! DA RÜHRT SICH KEIN SACKHAAR, SELBST WENN DER GANZE HIMMEL VOLLER FOTZEN HÄNGT!"
Übrigens: Rechte und rechtsradikale Soldaten und Wehrpflichtige waren schon zu meiner Zeit ein gerne ignoriertes Problem bei der Bundeswehr. Und daran hat sich heute mit Sicherheit nix geändert. Schaut mal zu, dass das Bundesverfassungsgericht endlich mal prüft, ob die AfD verboten werden sollte oder nicht. Und dann macht mal klar Schiff beim Bund bevor ihr das Aussetzen der Wehrpflicht wieder aussetzt. Denn wir werden da GANZ GENAU hinschauen.

Honestly, I hear so many storys and I see them myself in team meetings, etc. And I always realize: "That's not me, I don't do that."
But I do. In my case it is related to my ADHD, that I feel the urge to burst out whatever I have in my mind before I forget about it because there are butterflies on the window!
After I realized that I started to observe myself, try to suppress impulses. Medication helps and I think I have this more under control than ever before.
Not because I count my self as "not all men", but because I realized "actually, me too". So thank you and everyone else who spoke up. Please don't stop. And everyone, please don't stop listen, even if you are not all whatever. Because it could be you anyway.

Wir waren mal wer. Das Land der Ingeniere, der Innovationen. Dann hat die Union die deutsche Solarindustrie zu Gunsten der fossilen Industrie ruiniert und nach China verkauft. Seitdem verpassen wir jede Wende: Verkehrswende, Energiewende... wir sehen wie China davon zieht und uns industriell abhängt. Und immer hat die Union ihre Hand im Spiel, setzt technologieoffen auf Lösungen der Vergangenheit, baut unsere Arbeitswelt zum unqualifizierten Niedriglohnland um, verschachert Daten und Wissen.
Wir waren mal wer. Danke, Union.

I think it's important to learn how to use openssl to do certificate operations. So many admins scratch their heads and struggle on creating a self-signed certificate to test something or a CRL to send to a CA for enrollment. But if you know how, openssl is all you need. And it's literally everywhere available in the linux world.
You will eventually come at the point where you type endless openssl commands for the n-th time and decide to write a script to automate stuff away using a cnf config file to set the important parameters. And when you did that, you eventually wish for a gui tool to manage a CA or something similar.
...and the answer to the question you want THEN to ask is XCA: https://hohnstaedt.de/xca/
(I think about 10 years ago I was exactly at that point and I wish someone told me back then.)

Fair. I also have my modular default configs I can just copy-paste into new installations if necessary. But again: We might be those old sysadmins from back in the days. Them young wippersnappers prefer nginx:latest and mount their stuff straight into /var/www/html. Then set a service ingress to the container on :80 and done. If you're fancy, set NGINX_PORT=8080 and use the unprivileged nginx container image... 😅

Oh, I was talking about MPM Prefork. But in my experience two usecases make like 90% of all cases: "Provide these files hosted in that folder there" and "Terminate TLS, reverse-proxy the requests per http to that hostname". Both are things that are easy to set up in Nginx. And if we talk in container, the TLS termination/reverse proxy case is handled by an ingress service like Traefik, so it's basically just hosting a website.
Apache can be an option if you want/need to run stuff like php directly in the web server process (mod_php) but even that is nowadays provided by php-fpm as a separate service, hence it's once more just reverse-proxying time...

Nginx scales very good, way better than Apache. But Apache has the better plugin landscape. On the other hand: To really get the best out of Apache you need an old, experienced sysadmin. You know, people that have been replaced by SysDevOps similarly like SysDevOps are being replaced by LLMs right now.
So, sticking to Nginx is not a bad choice.

You know I have to check the settings on my server but I think I remember the RasPi 4 is set to Renderdistance 64 too. Although that is just the amount of chunk files the server sends to the clients.

I have several server running almost everything in docker containers. I have restic set up to create nightly backups. Databases have sidecar containers that dump the entire database into a file before the restic backup starts. Backups go centrally to a NAS in my basement.
From time to time I pick one server and restore the backups on a VM running on my laptop and try to get everything up and running again. Usually when I see that my server hoster offers newer systems or better prices I cancel servers, order new ones as replacement and do the migration as a backup-and-restore test to see if everything works in case of a desaster.

Aus Erfahrung muss ich dem beipflichten. Für ihn ist das Chaos okay bzw er wird es zu deinem Problem machen, weil wenn die komplette Bodenfläche vollgestellt ist mit Spielzeug, wird er aus seinem Kinderzimmer herauswuchern und den Flur vor dem Kinderzimmer sowie Wohnzimmer, Küche, etc in Beschlag nehmen.
Und spätestens wenn das Kind nachts im Schlag aus dem Bett fällt und mit dem Kinn so blöd auf einem Duplostein landet, dass du mit ihm morgens um 3 in die Notaufnahme fährst um die Platzwunde nähen zu lassen, ist es zu deinem Problem geworden. Ich sprech da aus... ERFAHRUNG. 😩

Hey #music folks of Mastodon. I'm a DAWless synth guy and I'm looking for a delay pedal that I can sync to my setup. My idea is something either with a midi interface to read the clock signals or with a separate tap tempo input I could feed my midi clocks click track output into.
I saw someone on youtube doing that with a EHX Canyon and I think the Boss DD-8 can do that, too. Both are not EXACTLY in my price range thou. The Boss RE-2 is another idea. It's also expensive but it's a Space Echo, so I could probably talk myself into that price tag... not sure but we'll see.
An alternative is using my Korg NTS-1 with this plugin https://github.com/hammondeggs/NTS1_BPM_pingpong
But the NTS-1 is powered by MicroUSB and that is noisy as shit. It's quite tricky integrating that one into my mix so I tend to not use it.
Any other recommendations?
