  • I follow the scientific/tech progress on climate change and pretty much only get my news from TLDR which don’t do the doom and gloom.

    Yeah, it’s bad and all but there are loads of people in the background putting in the work to avert the climate crisis. “It’s hopeless, don’t even try” is fossil fuel propaganda. We’re pretty close to electric prices catering everywhere which will make going electric with stoves, heaters, cars and the only viable option.

    For personal contribution: Buy less, less plastic, recycle your metals and electronics and bike if it’s safe enough to do so and your commute is less than 10k and buy chicken instead of beef. This alone will reduce your climate footprint by a massive amount.

    Good shit’s happening but it’s not ragebait enough to get clicks.

    P.S. I’m not delusional, it’s all happening way too slowly but it is happening way faster that most think.







  • I use Neovim as much as possible but Jetbrains C# just has a really nice debugging experience (with Vim mode on, of course). I still use Neovim for reading C# and doing some small edits and it works really well when reading what the LLM wrote.

    It’s hard to beat stepping through a method until you hit an exception, go into a catch block, ctrl+O until you hit the last line before the exception, breakpoint, skip to top of method and rerun.


  • It depends on where you live. Building in the Netherlands is a compliance hell hole and you end up with a very large portion of the cost being getting permits, doing environmental assessments etc.

    In the UK you have to go through a local council that will refuse pretty much everything you want on top of the Netherlands issues.

    This is pretty much the reason why builders are focusing on high value and luxury apartments since a bigger project benefits from scale on the permitting side.











  • Since there’s no lack of solutions here I’m going to add one more. If you manage to create bash to update the containers then you can have it run with a systemd service that’s easy to set up. It’s very easy to set up and it’ll work the same as running the command no your computer.
