Do what you will from this information, but my birthday happens to fall on World's cheese day.
I don't want to be a "akshualy I'm a prompt engineer" type of person, but my impression while coding with Claude is that knowing what you're doing and managing this as you would do a real dev project immensely helps at writing relevant prompts and giving right directions.

I just read something on printer tech and how that's the most unreliable computer tech ever made, mostly because it's made of moving parts and in a predatory consumer business. Last week, my gf thanked me again for gifting her this used inkjet printer that I recovered from my late parents' house. It seems that this particular Epson inkjet model wasn't crap after all.

This confused me for a while because my dad was notoriously making very poor choices in inkjet printers. He had a good experience with an HP Deskjet 510 in 1990 and since then believed HP was a reputable brand. He even brought a brand new (unopened box) HP printer to our family vacation place, in case the previous HP printer ceased working.
I trashed both printers in the same afternoon when I couldn't make them print anything from my mac. btw throwing a printer on the floor is a very great stress relief exercise, just check that it's not left plugged to your computer when you do it.

So I dug a little bit and now remember how this Epson printer ended on his desk. In around 2018, he asked me to research and buy a printer that wouldn't fail after one year. I guess I did a good job.

The systemd project is under attack by a trolling campaign orchestrated by fascist elements, accusing it of implementing "age verification".

I wrote more about the facts on my blog: https://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_473 .

systemd has not implemented age verification

Thought: now that AI tools understand code that well, wouldn't it be a good idea to write documentation with AI?
Inner thought: now that AI tools understand code that well, does good documentation even matter at all?
OMG
The whole setup is a little bit heavier than I expected.
I tried ditching Linux+ekos for astronomy and try Nina on Windows. I had to install ASCOM drivers for everything and even a 3rd party driver for a USB to serial port FFS!
I don't think this hobby OS is ready for serious professional use and Desktop.
