I write most of my stuff in vim so use a neither a spellchecker or grammar-checker. I have found that since I started doing that my spelling has greatly improved. My grammar can be janky sometimes, but I have doubt programs will help with that. If I want to be sure of my spelling I might find some textbox on some website and paste the text there.

If you happen to use Vim, I think it has a built-in spellchecker.

That's correct, but I haven't set it up for my native language.

One trick is having an tarpit email adress on your website. It is hidden using CSS so no real visitor sees it but it is visible in source. If your mail server recieves mail for that adress you can just block that IP for 24h.

This sounds like bad advice and would result in blocking google and other major ESPs.

I occasionally get spam from people who took the time to create gmail accounts. Based on this advice, the honey pot email address would get spam from a Gmail account and your script would block Gmail servers.


There exist lists of email providers. Those you can whitelist, ie. they can't get on the blacklist. Even then they would only be blocked temporarily. There also exists postmaster@domain.com which should not filter at all. I am aware that you are able to abuse said system but if you monitor logs those issues would only be temporary.

Yeah, I mean, you can personally vet those domains/IPs?

Similar in spirit to this: https://www.projecthoneypot.org/

My email provider allows me to send from + email addresses, just change the from header.

You can also just use proper HTTP cache headers. ETag and a very long Expires header.


That is a really cool project, thanks for posting


Ai doesn't read it guesses.


For example camera based object detection. People have been using usb Dongel Google Tensors for that previously.

People have for quite some time been using Googles Tensor chip to accelerate AI workloads on the Pi. I doubt that anyone runs Llms on Pis but stuff like security cameras with object detection...


I read somewhere that Google has largely abandoned support for their Coral TPUs? I still use a Coral TPU for Frigate NVR. But not sure how long they'll be supported.


The Coral isn't recommended by it anymore for most use cases. They're going to support it, but it shows it's age by never being updated for years


When gcc was built most compilers were proprietary. Stallman wanted a free compiler and to keep it free. The GPL license is more restrictive, but it's philosophy is clear. At the end of the day the code's writer can choose if and how people are allowed to use it. You don't have to use it, you can use something else or build you own. And maybe, just maybe Linux is thriving while Windows is dying because in the Linux ecosystem everybody works together and shares, while in Windows everybody helps together paying for Satya Nadellas next yacht.

If it's free software then I can modify and use it as I please. What's limited is redistributing the modified code (and offering a service to users over a network for Afferro).
