Probably the same reason why Windows 10 wasn’t actually the last Windows you’ll ever need to get. Because they said so.

"Magda Goebbels made a great strudel"
ID: A post on Twitter by @NickyFrank30 reading:

My grandfather used to say "and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel" and I never knew what it meant until after he died my grandmother explained some magazine did a fluff interview with Magda Goebbels a few years before WW2 that included her strudel recipe and my grandfather, who hated the Nazis with the passion of 10,000 suns, thought it was an example of the media sanitizing evil people and would use the phrase when someone asked him to overlook a bad person doing bad things and focus on the good.

I haven't played it yet, but that was hands down one of my favorite parts about reading Fabula Ultima. How do you solve getting player buy-in into your world and not burning yourself out building said world? Don't do it alone.

Agreed. Yet another milquetoast platitude that has the essence of truth, but is so diluted that the statement has no meaning. The "motivational poster" of political rallying cries.
A motivational poster depicting a kitten hanging on a bar. The image is captioned "Hang in There, Baby!"

After one of LastPass' shenanigans, I went to self hosting a Vaultwarden instance. It's been pretty solid for the family. If you're up to self-hosting things, I've found it to be a very solid and well supported project, and you get all the benefits of the Bitwarden frontends.

I did have my old MIDI Fighter 3D wired up against a Raspberry Pi to use as a controller for other things, and it worked without any additional work, so I think you're probably okay. I imagine any work you have to do is all controller mapping.

Cody Wilson @belthesar.com · 28/08/2026
I haven't had a working MIDI controller for a bit, so no practical experience to really go off of. That said, so long as the MIDI in isn't esoteric (IE: not USB -> MIDI devices like a keyboard, or reasonably modern audio interface with MIDI in), Pipewire should pick them up fine.

I've had mixed success with yabridge (yabridge.org). Some work great, some are a little rougher around the edges, and some require a _lot_ of work to get reasonably functional.

Got a kitchen scale? On the bottom number, I see a period before the 25, making me think that this might be a graded weight, or graded amount of a material. If it weighs close to .25 grams, that might be the ticket.

I have a lot of empathy for the PBS affiliate here. Stations are woefully underfunded, even moreso now thanks to the loss of federal funding. They likely made a choice driven by cost as much as it was a lack of on-hand talent.

As much as the fan in me doesn't want to agree with this take, I do. I know I personally approve of transformational remakes (hence why I love Darkness and Starlight), but I'm always shocked when I find folks that don't like FF7r because it's not FF7.

Going to agree with other folks that this looks like panel damage to me. Is this on a laptop? If so, any chance the lid was shut with something in the way there? Regardless, the evenness of the points on the display look like something caused some pressure point damage to the display.

I saw some posts of folks adding heatsinks to the SFP cages + adding additional fans to their CRS309s to be able to keep the adapters within temp tolerances. I elected not to do that mod until having 10 GbE was a necessity, and even then that might get deferred to a switch with 10 GbE built in.

Cody Wilson @belthesar.com · 09/07/2026
I recently picked up a CRS309 to replace my 10G TP-Link core switch at home. Based on my pre-purchase research, I think your suspicion that the 10 GbE SFP+ adapters being the culprit is spot on. The Mikrotik forums have tales of others' woe when using 10 GbE adapters in it.

What is Kernel Level Anti-Cheat actually protecting in games? | Cody Wilson
I recently read a blog post entitled Kernel Level Anti-Cheat is an Overreach. This blog post is a solid technical dive into the underpinnings of what kinds of personal data privacy too many gamers willingly sacrifice for an experience that is essentially substandard - one that catches too many innocent folks in dragnet-style surveillance and doesn’t protect gamers effectively enough. It got me thinking a little more though about why game cheating has become so prevalent.

I remember reading about Om years ago and thinking fondly of his actions, but the lens I looked at the world and tech and ventures was quite rose colored 15-20 years go, so I questioned whether my recollections were naive. Glad to know he was one of the good ones, and saddened at his departure.
