well I probably shouldn’t say I’m manic, that’s probably stolen valor or something, but rather I feel like a bad bitch because my 3 antidepressants/anti anxiety pills kicked in.
Yesterday my boss told me corporate is cracking down on uniform code and I had to take my 10+ pins and keychains off my work outfit. However comparing myself now to photos of how I looked when I just got the job before I got my pins 2 years ago, oh I got curves now 🫪

Turns out a lot of “competition” is the same company under different names, and it shows up in the price data too.

Borlänges somalier oroas över att drevet mot de somaliska riksdagsledamöterna kan göra att färre vill rösta på somalier i framtiden.

Kanske sänder det fel budskap att gå så hårt åt Muhammed Ali och hans medgärningsmän i media? Det är ju lätt för andra somalier att tolka det som att de helt enkelt inte är välkomna i maktens korridorer.

Throughout my Apes journey, I kept coming back to this not-so-odd thought: that Christopher Nolan must be a big fan of these movies. The time travel shenanigans fit to a T, and chunks of the first film’s opening act feel right out of Interstellar. It’s also the themes at play: man’s inhumanity to man, the unintended consequences of actions played out across time, and the moral weight of choice. There are also moments, like this one about nuclear weapons in Beneath the Planet of the Apes, that had me recreating the Leo Pointing Meme:

It was back in the mid-‘00s that Christopher Nolan got himself attached to direct Troy, the film that would eventually be directed by Wolfgang Peterson to not much acclaim. “As part of that process I had to work out how I wanted to treat the Trojan Horse,” Nolan told Thomas Duke in an interview on TikTok. “I was very influenced by seeing The Planet of the Apes when I was a kid. We had the Statue of Liberty half destroyed. That idea of a fallen monument.” It was an image, an idea, that Nolan held on to for two decades. The Horse, an offering to Athena and a gift to the Trojans, serves as the foundational sin of Nolan’s The Odyssey, and its connection to the Statue of Liberty is more than superficial. “That idea of a fallen monument,” sounds simple enough, but a monument is vested with meaning, and the Statue of Liberty bears more meaning than most. At the end of Nolan’s Homer adaptation, Matt Damon’s Odysseus sails off to the Unknown West with his wife, Penelope. “Civilization will rise again,” she says, to which he replies, “A new dawn will break over the darkened world… And our mistakes will once again be forgotten.” The final images of the film are Odysseus on the steps of the Trojan temple to Athena, staring up at the Horse, destruction and fire all around. If the Trojan Horse is the Statue of Liberty, here at the end the connection feels apt. More than just an aesthetic similarity, Nolan reveals the diabolical gift to be just that, a breaking of the covenant between men and the gods that has sustained civilization. The maniacs, they blew it up.

Hey all, I manage a number of domains and homelab services, and keeping track of certificates becomes annoying once there are more than a handful — especially for services and appliances that don’t support ACME.

So I built a lightweight iOS app that periodically checks the certificate actually being served by each endpoint and alerts before expiry.

I’m giving away a few promo codes if anyone wants to test it: 👉 https://getfree.app/app/ssl-certificate-monitor

Would love to hear your thoughts or feature requests.

Disclosure: I’m the developer.

i have been following Chinese models for about two years now because they are open-weight and qwen is fun to run on my kubernetes cluster, the news about this Apache licensed model complete with a recipe to make it again with potentially different ingredients is making we want to abandon them for something more ideologically sound and way more interesting

this new model, couldn’t universities rebuild it with different contexts and study it in ways you can’t reproduce in other models? like, is k2 horizons a good scientific foundation on which to study machine learning?

or am i just lacking way too much context and falling for hype?

I also fixed up this torn off furry one

I made a quick gallery of my recent adventure taking apart two remotes which is shared below:

Sony Bravia TV Universal Remote

Onn 4K Plus Streaming Device Remote

Procedure: Both remotes had plastic tabs holding them together. I was able to pry them apart with a guitar pick (credit card would work too) and separate the body from the internal remote board. The Sony remote (Green circuit board) was kind enough to label the component as “MIC1” with the screen printing so I flipped it over and removed the black adhesive covering over the Mic hole. The Mic hole is very small and I did try a few things before settling for a #1 flathead screwdriver from my iFixIt kit. The irony of using that kit to destroy something is not lost on me here. Anyway, I placed the screwdriver into the empty Mic hole and applied firm even pressure and let the flathead dig into the board. I went slow and could tell I was making progress when the Mic component on the other side of the board lifted away. At that point I backed out the screwdriver and used tweezers to pull off the Mic. Then quick reassembly and testing and all functions were good!

For the Onn 4k Plus Streaming remote (Black circuit board) I was able to follow the same procedure above where I used the pick to open the remote, used the screwdriver to apply even pressure to screw into the Mic hole and lift the component from underneath until I could get tweezers under it. I did however encounter an issue where a copper trace lifted with the component. It was very thin and I peeled back only enough to get a razor blade under it and sever it from the board. Then re-assemble and tested with no issues. All in all, for me with experience taking electronics apart it was about 20 minutes of working. I have one more Onn remote and a Samsung remote with a solar charger on the back to do next.

To get ahead of the comments on why I didn’t use a razor blade or heat gun to remove the mic: I tried a razor blade at first on the Sony remote but discovered that the component was soldered so close to the board that I would have to destroy the screenprint to get underneath it. Unfortunately I don’t trust myself with a heat gun either since I didn’t have Kapton tape to protect the other components.

If there is enough interest I can post the reassembled remotes for matching them or images of the Samsung remote surgery when I do it as well. Hope you all find this encouraging for how to do it on your own!

We are all tired of hearing the same tune: “the far-right is winning.” Yet, it keeps happening.

Far-right parties are topping polls across Europe’s biggest democracies while already sitting in cabinets and even leading governments in several EU countries and beyond.

As much as I love Google (not even a little, my love for that company is negative and becoming more negative per second) I would love to run far far away from it. Here’s another ball and chain I need to break.

When Croton-on-Hudson’s youngest students returned to school earlier this month, a familiar — and increasingly controversial — classroom tool was missing from their desks: iPads.

A new districtwide policy prohibits the devices in kindergarten through second grade with few exceptions. Instead, teachers are emphasizing traditional, hands-on learning through activities like games, puzzles, and pen-and-paper assignments.

The screen-free classrooms arrived after a grassroots effort from local parents in Croton-on-Hudson, an affluent, highly educated suburban village on the Hudson River, 40 miles north of Manhattan.

Formed in July 2025, the Croton Community Collective has amassed more than 400 local members, built a network of parents who’ve tried to give their children a screen-free childhood, reshaped the school board, and secured several changes limiting the use of educational technology in instruction

It’s part of a larger push by the community, where many parents have pledged to delay giving their children smart phones. Volunteers have stocked scores of local businesses with boxes of books and magazines, so that kids have a screen-free way to pass the time while waiting for a haircut or sitting at a diner. And over 100 families have installed landlines in their homes to help children stay connected sans cell phones.
