Eh, RPI pushes you to use a microSD card which sucks in a few ways. They also aren’t all that cheap.

Used thin client is the way to go

• not every website has the problem it solves
• not everyone who does likes the solution it offers
• web development moves fast but not that fast

These crawlers come from random people’s devices via shady apps. Each request comes from a different IP

I used supermaven (copilot competitor) for awhile and it was sorta ok sometimes, but I turned it off when I realized I’d forgotten how to write a switch case. Autocomplete doesn’t know your intent, so it introduces a lot of noise that I prefer to do without.

I’ve been trying out Claude code for a couple months and I think I like it ok for some tasks. If you use it to do your typing rather than your thinking, then it’s pretty decent. Give it small tasks with detailed instructions and you generally get good results. The problem is that it’s most tempting to use when you don’t have the problem figured out and you’re hoping it will, but thats when it gives you overconvoluted garbage. About half the time this garbage is more useful than starting from scratch.

It’s good at sorting out boilerplate and following explicit patterns that you’ve already created. It’s not good at inventing and implementing those patterns in the first place.

Rust people seem to be focused mostly on identity politics and dividing people into groups that are then supposed to fight each other.

Yeah, this guy can eat my entire ass. This is the same language that fascists use to delegitimize anyone who isn’t straight and white.

Do you remember what kind they were? For awhile they made them with organic dyes and those died quickly. I believe they stopped producing those, and the inorganic ones are supposed to be much better.

It’s pretty dependent on humidity and temperature, so a DVD buried in a well sealed plastic bag with a desiccant pack is actually in good conditions. No light, generally cool, and low humidity are perfect.

A hard drive has a lot of moving parts that must work and are basically impossible to replace. With optical media you’re just storing the platters, and I’m sure you’ll still be able to track down a drive somewhere. You can still find VHS players and those have been obsolete for 25 years.

I’d go with optical media here. Probably multiple capsules.

• M-Disk (DVD if it will fit, otherwise Blu-ray)
• Make an encrypted archive of your data. Strong password - I suggest diceware with 8 or more words so you might remember it in 30 years
• Use DVDisaster to add parity data. You sacrifice some space, but you get error tolerance in exchange
• Wrap the disks up in good jewel cases, well sealed plastic, along with some good big silica gel desiccant packs.
• Put all that in the smallest durable, airtight container you can
• stash somewhere it probably won’t be disturbed for a few decades. Memorize.
• destroy all evidence you did this.

Does what I want and gets out of my way.

I’ve always wanted to write a bot that replies to comments that say „I have no words” with a list of random words
