Oh wow ​LLMs are just so terrible. 🤦‍♂️
I made a #systemd service watcher¹ ( :nixos: #NixOS module²³) which regularly feeds systemd status outputs into an LLM (mistral here) and sends me an email if it thinks it found real problems. Well, now I always get alarmist emails with bullshit warnings, suc…

Yay, I finally figured out how to build HTML documentation of my custom :nixos: #NixOS options. 🥳
Some thoughts:
- It still contains *all* normal NixOS options (it's a 13MB HTML file...)
- I don't see a way to filter for only my custom options - be it just by regex for example
- It's the documentation of *possible* options, doesn't include the actually chosen val…

Ja es wurde pseudo behoben und ja es hat offensichtliches den Klartext wahrgenommen. Base64 so wie ASCII ist keine Verschlüsselung nur unlesbar von Menschen und das .env kommt nicht in's Git.

The libxml2 maintainer is basically shrugging his shoulders and saying "deal with your own fucking security issues; libxml was never meant to be used in your projects" to google and the rest of the giant corporations that are using his labor without contributing back. I'm totally on board with that.

Working again on a project with Delphi 1.0 was a pleasure. Few IDEs nowadays are as simple, lightweight, complete, useful, and stable as Delphi was in… 1995.
Le sigh.

Conway in Borland Delphi
Yet another version of my Polyglot Conway project, this time in good old Borland Delphi 1.0 (which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary!) from 1995, running on Windows 3.1, and as usual you can found the source code on my GitLab account.

I didn't know that the value of IPv4 addresses peaked in 2022 and now appears to be declining.
Everyone sitting on a big chunk of IPv4 space is now holding a depreciating asset. If I were them I'd be minded to accelerate their own IPv6 transition in order to sell it off.
But I'd suggest that regardless.
