I’ve been explicitly told not to use any open source for a project. I don’t even know what language I’d write it in. We ended up not even quoting for it in the end.

Yeah this only makes sense if the builds start diverging from the open source code, extra features that are closed source.

Hertzner storage box. I think it’s €13/month for 5tb. Just storage with ssh interface. I use restic but most backup systems should work with it.

Also happy with them. Might not be relevant but you can have all 50 aliases be different domains and wildcards count as 1.

Switched from protonmail because i wanted a second domain which was lots more expensive with them. I also didn’t like having to use their app. With mailbox i gave them my public key and they still encrypt everything on receipt but i just use Thunderbird as the client.

No. They handle that. You get so many credits that get used at different rates depending on the model.

You can burn through your months allowance in 10 minutes using Fable then your employer just gets billed the coverage. I think it’s based on the provider’s API pricing so just using Claude or codex directly is probably cheaper.

If you have it do the work entirely and make PRs itself then Copilot is listed as the author regardless of model. E.g. you can assign it an issue and it’ll go and do it itself. I don’t use that though because it’s bad at it.

I tend to just prompt it to write snippets as part as whatever I’m working on to save some typing.

Github copilot is a totally different product from Microsoft copilot. Github copilot is just a harness for any model. I can use openai, anthropic, google, etc. models.

I have at least 1 colleague who does this. Has a Claude subscription despite being provided with github copilot.

New outlook is awful. When I first got forced to switch it didn’t show you tooltip with where a link was actually going before clicking on it - you know, the thing literally every mandatory phishing training has told you to do!

They have actually fixed that now but it was ages without it.

My current pet peeve is it doesn’t tell me about new emails in shared mailboxes. We have a shared support mailbox and I have to remember to go and check it manually. It doesn’t even update the unread email count until you open the inbox.

Recently had to go to A&E (ER) in UK.

I was seen by a triage nurse in under 5 minutes. I had a wound on my leg that was only not bleeding due to a tourniquet. Was sent to the waiting room. A women there was complaining they’d been waiting 6 hours for her kid who was running laps of the room.

I was seen in under 20 minutes.

2 hours later as I was on my way home having had my leg stitched up and they were still waiting.

Unless it has local maps like mine that are now a decade out of date. It’s completely useless now but i refuse to pay several 100 for the update.

Yeah, i agree. You can cut the benefits bill by reducing payments and making lives worse, or you lift people up so they no longer need them. This seems like an attempt at the latter and I hope it works.

It was around 2017 my questions just stopped getting answers. Even if it wasn’t closed, I’d just get nothing. Eventually gave up asking.

I took an existing thing and put it inside another existing thing. That’s a novel idea, right?

We could put card terminals in everything! Put card terminals in the fridge to pay for food?

I can’t think how this is any better than just using the card you already saved on the account. Even from their point of view, this is an extra step in the payment process.

That’s why all these microtransactions are in their own made-up currency.

She tried that but then it leaves a 5 year gap

Yeah my wife was the same. 2018-2023. Delayed a little over a year because they shut the labs for months and limited occupancy when it opened. Basically 3 years she hardly saw anyone.

Sometimes if I hit the voice typing on my phone, which I’m pretty sure is whisper, and then don’t say anything, it just comes out with nonsense.

Just did this and also got…

Thanks for watching!

I hated when i had a long commute. There was a toll bridge on the way as well just to annoy me more. Wasn’t allowed to work from home until covid hit and suddenly it’s possible. Now 6 years later and I’ve never driven that commute again.

My wife went back several years after under grad for a phd. Biochem. It’s probably had a negative effect on job prospects. Either over qualified or under experienced. She’s currently making minimum wage doing care work. Never got a job where a phd was an advantage.

My bank has the inverse as well. If i open the app while on a call there’s a huge banner across the top stating they are not calling me.

I remember talking to family in Australia from UK on the phone in 90s and it costing multiple £/min with noticeable delay.
