I just donated to the kdenlive (video editor) project. I try to do this once every year to support open source I rely on.

Consider supporting your favorite open source tools. Choosing to support open source creates a public good that every human can benefit from.

I'm swapping 4 drives in my NAS. It's going to take weeks (new parity dries, then take old parity drives and swap for individuals) but hopefully the extra 46TB of space is worth it.

Bingo

Every year at Christmas the Fluin family plays bingo using bingo.fluin.io. We play for prizes at first, and then to steal. Updating to #angular v21 was cutting it close tonight, but it took about 8 seconds.

Is the Internet experiencing another storm? I have a bunch of random services struggling right now but I don't really trust random status pages.

Sorry I missed this somehow. Experience is terrible for me lately. Drivers are directly in apt and on latest version, but the experience is bad. It's a bit conflated with me switching to a new pc so I don't know the real problem.

Angular - Never-Ending Support (NES) | HeroDevs Never-Ending Support for Angular from HeroDevs is a drop-in replacement for Angular, which means you can stay secure, compatible, and compliant without migrating away.

Huge props to the @angular.dev team & security researchers. There have been 3 new CVEs in the past couple weeks. This shows that the ecosystem is actively being scrutinized and protected.

Silence isn’t safety. Visibility is. πŸ›‘οΈβœ¨

> how do I install another mcp server in the gemini cli?

✦ I'm not familiar with an "mcp server." Could you please provide more context or clarify what you
  mean by that? For example, where did you hear about it, or what is it supposed to do? That will help
  me understand and assist you better.

If the government shutdown continues for let's say, 2 more years. What does the government look like at that point?

I had to close every app on my computer to get this to run (128GB of RAM and a 5090), but interacting with such an advanced model locally was worth it. Such interesting and deep thinking about the intent and purpose behind each of my prompts. #ai #qwen3
