  • agreed on the batterygate thing. ars did a pretty decent writeup on the reasons behind the CPU throttling.

    my issue with Apple has always been their… “its magic!” bullshit. that marketing leads to more and more e-waste as other manufacturers follow the sucessful Apple marketing trend, because, you know… its NOT actually magic and batteries are consumable items.

    “Ford, how am I supposed to operate my [insanely expensive] digital watch now [that the battery is broken]?” guess i’ll just get another one!





  • indeed! had I not posted this, I would be asking the same question!

    so, its quite a bit more mundane than you might have hoped for.

    a mix of…

    • ~40% locally served internal pages (mostly zabbix, mail/web server monitoring, some development pages, etc).
    • ~60% non-local pages - currently lots of retro computing stuff, debian stuff, github (sigh)

    the most recent page I opened was an archive.org page on TI-84 firmware disassembly.

    I make heavy use of Firefox containers for separation. honestly, Firefox is an absolute workhorse for me. if the Firefox ecosystem were to fall into the void, I would be dead in the water.







  • we are not talking about backend systems here.

    we are talking about user devices in the wild, likely in an unknown state, with highly variable usage patterns by the user. someone with experience can usually determine how deeply to poke based on 30 seconds of questioning the user.

    “reboot” is absolutely valid when the issue is trivial, non-recurring and the equipment is not sensitive. if a reboot destroys logs then the device was not important to you to begin with.
