Ramblings
My Steam library cost around R$9k, isn't property, isn't inheritable, and isn't going anywhere. This is the accounting of why. And why the answer is everyone else.
An ATA, some Asterisk, a tunnel to my reverse proxy, and Linphone, all so I could answer the front desk from my desk at work. The condo had other plans.
Codeberg's new anti-'AI-code' Terms of Use confirmed I was right to distrust it, Tangled turned out to be public-only, and my private infrastructure-as-code repo is now the elephant asking to be addressed.
A decade of tunnels and coordination servers: Hamachi, OpenVPN, Tailscale, Headscale, and reluctantly Tailscale again, and the SLA math that keeps making the decision for me.
I had a painless way off Microsoft Copilot — same autocomplete, same price, a different company. Then SpaceX bought said company.
Oracle quietly halved the Always Free Ampere A1 tier: 4 OCPU / 24GB down to 2 / 12. Free-tier VMs over the limit get stopped. PAYG VMs over the limit get billed. Resize before they resize you.
I was somewhat wrong about ATProto. The protocol decoupling mostly holds. I still do not trust it 100%, and the asterisks are where I live now.
In 2019, a Discord bot crashed on Java 12. The crash was in the JDK itself. I was 18.
GitHub is bad and the only alternative I actually want is gated by Bluesky moderation. So nothing.
I asked Claude to take the RAADS-R. I expected a polite refusal. I did not get a polite refusal.
