Ok, so Google is threatening to close down our GCP account because the amount they want us to pay is literally so low it is well below the minimum transaction of our bank/ the credit card it seems. Yes, we are talking at least an hour of back and forth because of literally a cent or so.

Werden im österreichischem und deutschem #KFC auch die Ablaufdaten vom Fleisch und anderen Produkten gefälscht/ illegal verlängert? Wird auch Fleisch zubereitet, welches schon stinkt? Wie kann es sein, dass in Dänemark und Tschechien so ähnliche Betrügerei und Gefährdung der Gäste auftritt?

Why even bother doing benchmarks, when you use the tools in a completely suboptimal way Phoronix? www.phoronix.com/review/linux...
With OpenZFS it is simple to just do the right thing for most applications. I mean at least change the recordsize to something appropriate for the workload.

Linux 6.17 File-System Benchmarks, Including OpenZFS & Bcachefs
Linux 6.17 is an interesting time to carry out fresh file-system benchmarks given that EXT4 has seen some scalability improvements while Bcachefs in the mainline kernel is now in a frozen state.

Thinner. It takes a ton of effort to do, new materials and processes. Then you realize you actually need all that volume for the battery. So you just shrink the battery and call it a day. Now you can charge more for the cool device and for the thick battery "backpack" that people slap on the back. 🤷♂️

No, you can't just send the same request to the Google Gemini API for token counting as you would for content generation. 🤷♂️

Seems like Gemini 2.5 Pro is pretty good at generating the reverse SQL DDL migration scripts to remove what has been created. That's an easy win in many cases. 🤷♂️
I haven't done anything too complicated though.

Will the various AI assistants that can work with your computer be able to create all the accounts needed for a project? Like the Microsoft 365 stuff, applying for the DUNS number, adding DNS verification records etc.?
Because that setup is a real drag and takes ages.

Wasn't able to setup Proxmox build environment so I could change the number of workers and blocking threads in pbs-restore to a higher number to utilize 10 Gbps connection over 5 Gbps inside the same rack. github.com/proxmox/prox...
Can somebody build that for me or provide clear instructions?

Debian 13 Trixie with newer Gnome feels a bit nicer than Debian 12 Bookworm. However the file selection dialog is still clunky and cannot be moved independently of the window that opened it.

On smallish tasks that fit in 1 day I observe great efficiency gains while maintaining reasonable quality when going from pair programming to AI/ LLM assisted "compete, compare, converge" development model with a colleague. Especially for ad-hoc jobs this delivers good results fast.

Tried extracting the GPG secret keys from the newish SExpr .key format using Clojure and BouncyCastle. I get very bizarre errors and have no result after hours of trying. Most people suggest just shelling out but that is not really the point right?
I had better luck with the Kbx PubKey format.

Just a thought: Vibe coding will not become a thing not because of insufficient agent/ model capability but because it would obviate many processes, tickets and such which is the purpose of many corporate middle managers and software like Jira. They will not let that happen.

To defend against Russia efficiently it's important to find a way to cut their money supply.
Quite simple if you find a technology/ solution that obviates most of the need for oil, coal and gas of direct or indirect russian customers.

Are you sure your blood sugar is ok under all circumstances? Why not verify that with a 14 day continuous measurement?
Found out beer and marmelade with a cake are the only instances where I have been out of the "ok" bounds for a brief moment.
