Amazing, from a pi to a full blown rack, my dream homelab journey.

Also, the article about you joining canonical links to the homelab instead!


Thanks for noticing that! I'll try to fix right away (of course it is not happening on my local dev environment...)

It is insane that this is happening in one of the most essential piece of software. This is a much needed step to decrease the increase of slop contribution. It's more work for the maintainer to review all this mess.

Hello this is my first blog and my first submission! Please go easy on me

I wish they could give more clarity on whether its hosted in a professional server or someone's bedroom, because just saying that "it's held by a long time contributor with a proven track record of securely hosting services" is not very reassuring.

really good post thanks lorentz :D

This had me hooked

The entire page was amazing, but holy shit that art in the middle that shows how the current system works where kids are sent to school to study and then they graduate, get crushed into becoming mere tools instead of the human beings we are meant to be.

As someone else mentioned this is a reference to the Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall, most likely this music video[0].

I think it is “Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall” reference.

edit: Ha! Actually one can double-click on objects and get more info about their origin.


Single-clicking is sufficient :)

Also there are a lot of special clickable actions (mentioned in the FAQ > About section, or just keep clicking until you find something, there are 20+ special actions).


Is it just me or is the phrase "human beings" used more often than simply "humans"? I've just started to notice this: the next word after "human" is very often "beings". Whenever someone wants to emphasize our humanity (as opposed, say, to a horse's horseness), they almost always say "human _beings_" instead of "humans". Somehow "human beings" seems to emphasize the "human spirit/soul".

Yes. There are lots around; whenever the original word becomes too short for the importance people want to give it.

Tuna fish, chai tea, Enter the room -> enter “into” the room, French: hui (today) -> aujourd’hui (day of today)

Keyword: pleonasm


I'm sure I've even heard French people say "au jour d'aujourd'hui"

I'm pretty sure I've seen that one in a list, by a French person, of things they wish other people wouldn't say!

Yes, we had an epidemic of that about 10 years ago. It was everywhere. Thankfully it's mostly gone now and we're back to "aujourd'hui".

Also French: je ne sais (I don’t know) → je ne sais pas (I don’t know a step)

And recently even dropping the negation itself while keeping the meaning: “je sais pas”

I never thought about that. Interesting. This negation related cycle is apparently called Jespersen’s cycle and happens in many languages. The English equivalent

I say not -> I “do” not say -> I don’t say. -> ?

Lived experience

really cool stuff!

Amazing that how much python's pip was so bottlenecked, it was basic design problem damn

Merry Christmas everybody may this day bring you joy and happiness :)
