How to crash the #Windows 11 file explorer:

Step 1: Insert a CD-ROM

Fin.

For about two months, my computer would completely glitch out after about 30 minutes of moderately graphically intense gaming. I reinstalled drivers and did updates, but nothing helped. When I checked the UEFI settings, I noticed that my CPU was running at 100°C even when idle. Turns out my CPU cooler fan somehow got stuck and didn't spin. 🫠

A quick spin in the other direction unclogged it. The problem was instantly solved. This could have turned out pretty bad!

I really love diffdiff.net for quickly looking at diffs -- it does a great job of highlighting diffs inside a single line

used it yesterday to debug a networking issue by diffing two tcpdump outputs and it was SO helpful, it made it immediately obvious that the MSS was different between the two connections

(the screenshot isn't the actual bug, just a diff of two tcpdump outputs)

@b0rk git-diff can be used with the files outside of the repository and you probably already know about its --color-words option.

Otherwise there's github.com/ymattw/ydiff and is multiple forks called cdiff.

bew :nixos:​:neovim:

@b0rk `git diff --no-index before after` can be nice too, if you have configured a nice diff pager like delta!

I like the term "mental AI fog" coined by @garritfra. A very similar thing happened to me, so in the classic Indie Web fashion, I blogged about it.

This is the most 2024 quote so far. "Sometimes Logitech's web service is down do I can't copy&paste for a few hours".

#TIL watching random street interviews with bilingual subtitles is the best way to learn a language:

a) the interviewees often repeat common phrases
b) the topics are often very basic

The term "AI Slop" is currently on the rise. It describes all the AI generated images and texts we see on the internet. I'd like to propose a term that basically describes the opposite of AI Slop.

@garritfra Nice article! ⭐ *bookmarks*
Super random nitpick: I'm not sure "opposite" is the right term there...perhaps "other side"/"reverse" would fit a bit better?
For me, opposite hits way "closer" to logical inversion/negation, so for opposite of AI slop, I expect that to be genuine human content; yet what you describe as AI fog seems to be more along the lines of the converse of AI slop.. πŸ€” (Though, I'm ESL, so feel free to ignore my brain spasm.)
Keep up the good work! (:

#Google #gemini as an assistant is really not cutting it for me. It's all but a seamless experience.

@garritfra I had the same experience with Gemini. I came a cross this plug-in for the coding tasks and it's been working very well: codegpt.ee/

The positive #HackerNews #RSS project now uses an ML model for sentiment analysis. It's far more reliable than the previous rule-based sentiment analyzer used by NLTK.

@garritfra I just switched the Hacker News RSS on my daily news digest to your feed.

Thank you!

What's the least creepy home surveillance system? We do want cloud integration to be notified about activity (without constantly having to tunnel through my home network), but we also don't want the Chinese government spying on us. Does such a thing exist, and what's the price?

mvyrmnd :PUA:

@garritfra mild compromise? Local camera system + Tailscale? The tunneling bit will be nicer at least

@garritfra you'll probably have to build that yourself. One way to start would be a standalone NVR box with a few cameras and then add notifications to it, either self-hosted or through a privacy-friendly service.

If you don't want to build the NVR yourself you could have a look at the Linux-based offerings on the market and start hacking into it.

@garritfra I didn't realise you had to do all the lakes in a single week(!)

Seems like great progress, btw.
