This is the beauty of Unicode in production.

Activity Monitor for macOS showing Ghostty using a lot of energy

I'm not going to use Ghostty as my terminal until the energy usage is addressed. I don't use Quick Terminal and don't know how to enable/disable it.

I'm not reading Altman's singularity post. Instead, I'll have my new VC-backed AI notes summary tool (still in stealth, we're hiring!) tell me that it's absolutely drivel.

My three-year-old was reading Wired when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why are the shitlibs doxxing the nice DOGE kids?" And when I told her "Because they are luddites who fear the AI revolution," she started crying.

I upgraded my monitor since tariffs were going to set in. No idea what tech will cost in the near future. Anyway, this isn't about the monitor or the tariffs, but the amount of stuff I pulled off my desk.

BEHOLD!

That was the second thing! First was my SSH key.

My default Flox pulls down home-manager and helps setup the rest. Works well across my machines.

Then there’s the folks who don’t understand that 100% CPU utilization is, in fact, utilizing your resources at-capacity.

Brought to you by the same people who think a load value of 4 on a 56-core host is high.

Proton having impactful – all services – outages twice in as many months is becoming an issue. I understand and read the first incident report from December 18th, however I want to see a more detailed one regarding what occurred along with future risk mitigation in both this and the last incident.
