That is so awesome! I’ve been thinking of the exact same thing for years. I already have a cheap source of heat, so there’s no need for a project like this. However, if I did live in a house with electric heating, mining crypto is exactly what I would do.

I would probably make a dedicated server room, blow the warm air to other rooms through pipes etc. it’s a bit of a gamble though, because mining hardware costs something, and I don’t know if the coins would really be worth it. As long as it costs less than traditional electric heating, it should be fine.

Cries in mobile…

There’s also a flat version.

The original was from 1997. Maybe it was about time we switched to an updated version.

“I was a Trump supporter,” he said on Wednesday. “I voted for Trump last election, but, because I thought it was going to be like … against criminals, not every Hispanic, Spanish-lookalike.”

Water. The hangover will last till the next inauguration. You won’t even notice what’s going on while you puke.

Elon would probably point out that it’s cheaper that way. Burying dead soldiers is expensive.

Pretty much everyone has, but that’s not the problem here. What if you don’t really want to give them a unique identification number like that? What if you don’t want them them to know you that well? What if you’re not even planning to use your real name at all.

Back in the old days, you could register an account without giving your phone number. Nowadays, pretty much all the big social medias won’t let you register an account without a number. I guess that’s not a big problem for people who don’t care about privacy, but for me that’s a total deal breaker. This means, that there’s a huge barrier to entry.

Before clicking, I already knew this would lead to NextDNS. Turns out, my experiences were quite similar. Sadly, my beloved RPI is just sitting idle these days. Maybe I’m just a bad admin, and that caused my problems. Probably…

Anyway, I really prefer to use SAAS for this purpose. You could use any DNS you like, doesn’t have to be this one. If you’re the kind of pi admin who has the time and energy, running your own pi-hole is still probably the best option though.

Message in a bottle is the way to go.

If hackers don’t know where the bottle is floating, they can’t read the message. It’s also completely disconnected from the Internet, further enhancing the already robust security. This protocol also supports all encryption methods you can fit inside the bottle. There’s no central authority, no servers, no licenses, and no EULAs to accept without reading.

The only bottlenecks are bandwidth, packet loss, and the physical dimensions of the glass container.

We are one step closer to building the AI that can determine which one is cuter: a specific photo of a kitten or one of a puppy. Just imagine what you could do with such technology!

I can’t wait to hear UK announce some changes to their official maps.

Does New England sound better than Virginia? How about New Albion?

Speak for yourself. Here in the NULL island, we’re all born on January 1st, 1970.

Here’s a bit of code that’s supposed to do stuff. I got this error message. Any ideas what could cause this error and how to fix it? Also, add this new feature to the code.

Works reasonably well as long as you have some idea how to write the code yourself. GPT can do it in a few seconds, debugging it would take like 5-10 minutes, but that’s still faster than my best. Besides, GPT is also fairly fluent in many functions I have never used before. My approach would be clunky and convoluted, while the code generated by GPT is a lot shorter.

If you’re well familiar with the code you’ve working on, GPT code will be convoluted by comparison. If so, you can ask GPT for the rough alpha version, and you can do the debugging and refining in a few minutes.

An AI can also do the job, spend the money on Netflix and watch the movies for you.

“It’s also worth reiterating that despite its name, OpenAI is a closed-source and for-profit company — while DeepSeek’s AI models are open-source.”

Smells like there’s a lawsuit just around the corner. How do you license a model as open source if the training data was stolen?

That’s what happens when people don’t know how to use the system properly. They just throw their files and announcements into random places without any thought, and expect everyone to be able to find them.

In cases like that, you just need to ask a more experienced user for direction, because nothing else works. It’s not your fault you can’t find your way around a labyrinth like this. It’s the fault of everyone who turned that place into a labyrinth.

Can we also blame the software? Maybe, if the marketing was misreading. Mostly though, this sort of mess emerges as a result of ignorant people abusing the system.

Now that’s a properly meta headline. Are you sure this wasn’t written by The Onion?

This is big news. Why isn’t everyone already talking about SIBs? Also, the 145 Wh/kg sits neatly between LFP and NMC. As long as the other properties are reasonable, it should stand a chance against NMC.
