You can’t get them on economy cars anymore. You pay a $10-20k premium for them on a top tier, low volume model of the economy car.
Go anywhere in Europe (or most of the rest of the world) and try to get a rental car. The first question I got asked in Iceland was “can you drive standard?”
I’m a millennial, and I’ve been driving a manual for 22 years. I taught my friends, 2 past girlfriends and my wife to drive a manual. My oldest sister drove a manual, and her husband drove a manual.
2738 kWh last month, my bill was $568. This is a 4 bedroom house though, and your bill feels rather outrageous.
You can fix that. support.system76.com/articles/des...
I gravitate towards Arch based distros, but they aren’t for everyone. Ubuntu is a default for many, but I don’t like their data collection (although you can disable it). Linux Mint is a great all around distro for starters and long-term users alike. Pop!_OS is another good one. Find what you like.
Just make sure to disable all of the telemetry. www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/com...
TrueNAS on a Pi is happening! Next up: Trying it on a new CM5 custom NAS build... I'll post a full guide later after I make sure I've documented any quirks
GPT-OSS is the talk of the (dev) town. This visual-heavy newsletter is a great breakdown of: – Reasoning modes – Message formatting – How GPT-OSS compares to Qwen, DeepSeek, and others 👀: bit.ly/45EjKl3 And yes - you can run it locally with Docker Model Runner. #GPTOSS #Docker #LLM #AIInfra
My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives. Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library! Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.
How is this breaking news? We all watched this happen repeatedly in real-time.
I used Wunderlist back in my sysadmin days to organize my work, before we had any system of record / prioritization. I might give this a shot to organize myself even as a tech leader.
This place is somehow filled with all of the content I tried to escape in leaving X, and none of the good content I was looking for. Doesn’t anybody have any hobbies outside of politics and hatred?

Solid homelab dashboard.
I’m a sucker for a good looking keyboard. www.8bitdo.com/retro-mechan...
Well, that’s all perfectly f*cked.
Bet it was delicious though.
Everyone loses.
“Sniper instructors teach their students to aim for two triangular-shaped areas on the body – from the chest to neck, and the hip bones to the pelvis.” Children’s heads are approximately the same height as an adult’s pelvis. They’re murdering civilians either way. www.defense.gov/Multimedia/E...
It’s about time for my annual disappearance into Escape from Tarkov.
There’s potentially many innocent Pauls now in trouble… include a last initial at least and narrow down the pool of destruction.
Exclusive: Apple, racing to add more AI capabilities, is nearing the completion of a critical new software tool for app developers that would step up competition with Microsoft
The greatest day of my life was the day I realized I can go buy a cake whenever I want, and nobody can stop me. Strike that… the greatest day of my life was when I got married. But the cake thing is a very close second.
Security experts say Ubuntu's package suggestion feature can be manipulated by malicious snaps 'impersonating' legit packages

An overly complicated tech stack can create more problems than it solves. I've seen this, and it drives the architecture of my homelab. I see many tech execs / senior leaders consistently make decisions to adopt new and shiny for the sake of being "fast," in turn delaying execution.
What balance do you strike in your homelab between self-hosting and SaaS solutions? Do you use cloud providers, or your own hardware? Would you rather leverage GitHub and other services to orchestrate your build / deploy / release, or do you like to own all of your data internally?
I’m a huge fan of lightweight, basic looking editors… but I’m not hardcore enough to just use Vim. Lite-XL seems to fit the bill, but I’m open to suggestions. I’ve also used (Pantheon) Code, and that one’s not bad either.
Just curious - what's stopping you? Like, what are the hard dependencies you have? I switched to #manjaro full-time on my Desktop PC back in April of 2023 for gaming, and I've not looked back. I still supplement with an M1 Pro Mac for video editing and audio work.
I'm not sure if I should be impressed with how much my Raspberry Pi 5 can handle, or if I've really just massively overspent on the rest of my homelab gear that it's rapidly replacing.
