There’s quite a few KDE apps that work on Windows. I think they’re trying to position KDE as a provider of high-quality cross-platform open-source apps, rather than being limited to just Linux.

ECC (and other methods) write the corrected value back to memory

That was my understanding (it corrects the error and writes the good value back to RAM), but now I’m not so sure! I imagine it must do that, otherwise a second bit flip would actually corrupt the RAM, and the RAM manufacturer would want to reduce that risk.

Regular ECC adds an extra parity bit for each byte. For each byte of memory, it can correct an error in one bit, and detect but not correct an error in two bits, so they wouldn’t want a one bit error to linger for longer than it needs to.

A better use of your time is to improve documentation. Developers generally hate documentation so it’s often in need of improvement. Rewrite confusing sentences. Add tutorials that are missing. Things like that. You don’t necessarily have to be a good developer or even understand the code of the project; you just have to have some knowledge of the project as an end user.

At least for that we have replacement names that make sense (like primary and secondary or replica).

HTML isn’t compiled, and unknown attributes are allowed. The best practice is to prefix non-standard attributes with data- (e.g. <div data-foo="test">) but nothing enforces that. Custom attributes can be retrieved in JavaScript or targeted in CSS rules.

In California the property tax can only increase a maximum of 2% per year, so at least there’s that. (this law was put in place so that older people don’t get priced out of their house due to house values going up a lot)

there was about 22% inflation

I’m not disagreeing with you, but I just wanted to note that inflation numbers (more specifically, the CPI) is an average across multiple industries - supermarkets, rent/mortgage, furniture, cars, flights, health care, and several more. It’s possible for inflation to affect some industries much more than others and I wouldn’t expect everything to all go up at the same rate.

In California at least, houses made with a wooden frame are usually on top of concrete (either a concrete slab under the whole house, or a concrete perimeter under the exterior walls), and the frame is bolted into the concrete along the entire perimeter.

Older homes often aren’t bolted into the concrete, but it’s common to retrofit this to improve earthquake resistance. Without the bolting, the house can move around during an earthquake. The government here has a program (Earthquake Brace and Bolt) where they cover part of the cost of doing this work.

Masonry (houses made of bricks, stone, etc) are much less common here, since they perform much worse in earthquakes.

I left a bowl of candy out once, and some teen boys took the whole bowl.

For DNS challenges, I personally prefer using acme-dns. It’s a separate DNS server that only serves ACME DNS challenges. I felt a bit uneasy using an access token for my actual DNS host since it grants full read/write access to every record. acme-dns reduces the attack surface.

Let’s Encrypt follows CNAMEs and supports IPv6-only DNS servers, so you could just run acme-dns on a spare IPv6 address (assuming your internet provider has a static IPv6 range, or you have a VPS with IPv6).

I think it’s all read-only access through, so you can only use it to import data not make new transactions.

That’s alright. Even read-only access is useful. I could write a script that pulls my current investments, prompts for the amount I’ll be investing in total, and prints out the buys (eg “buy 10 x VOO, 5 x VXF, 20 x VXUS”) that’ll keep the account balanced based on some percentages.

It’s the same in SmartTube. Age-restricted videos haven’t worked for a while, even if logged in.

Does SimpleFIN use OAuth to log into bank accounts, or do you need to enter your bank’s username and password?

Unrelated to this post, but do you know if SimpleFIN supports investment accounts? If it does, it seems like an easy way to let me write a script to help rebalance my investment accounts. I might look into it.

I didn’t see a docker image

Definitely a possibility! It’ll be interesting to see what happens.

It probably accepts other key types and it’s just the UI that’s outdated. I doubt they’re using an SSH implementation other than Dropbear or OpenSSH, and both support ed25519.

id_rsa shouldn’t exist any more.

They’ve never been profitable and current estimates say they won’t be profitable until at least 2029: https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-profit-funding-ai-microsoft-chatgpt-revenue-2024-10

A recent report estimates that they won’t be profitable until 2029: https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-profit-funding-ai-microsoft-chatgpt-revenue-2024-10

A lot can happen between now and then that would cause their expenses to grow even more, for example if they need to start licensing the content they use for training.

In the article, Linus explicitly said that it’s not just a US thing:

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.
