  • I have a memory consumption issue with Ubuntu, because I stupidly set up the system to have 0 swap. This means under high memory pressure, the entire system could suddenly crash.

    To be fair, Windows isn’t a shining beacon either because whenever I attempt something very GPU intensive like running local LLMs the GPU overheats in a split second before the fans have time to spin up and the entire system shuts down.



  • During my long motorcycle road trip to the twisties, I saw this huge white structure looming distantly in front of me. I wondered what the heck it was, first thought it was some kind of coal processing thing and then thought it was a wind turbine under construction. But as I got closer, I saw that it was a freakishly large dish. During my next stop, I confirmed it was this telescope. Should’ve taken a picture of it.

    I got one used, and not specifically because it was curved, I just wanted a monitor and it was available for a good price. The curve is mild and the monitor is only 24" so I don’t notice it very much. The monitor feels a bit flatter to my eyes than my laptop screen due to field of vision.


  • I already have 2 monitors (including my laptop screen because I’m primarily on laptop) but recently I tried using Google Earth on a desktop with a fast i7-13700 and a 1440p monitor and it was so immersive. If each pixel was 100m, I could see 256km, all with minimal hiccups.

    It reminded me I want a big 4k Monitor for this stuff, maybe even of TV size.
