  So I was in the big city because I needed some new clothes. I walked past a MediaMarkt and hopped in to see if there were any interesting video games at a nice price. Guess what. No price tags. You have to fumble scanning the bar codes at a terminal. So I didn't buy anything.

  Yes, keep buying shady internet connected "smart" devices. At some point in time you will participate in attacking websites in an attempt to massively steal content to train another shitty AI.

  Created diskette dumps of MS-DOS 6.22, Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, MS Office 4.2; all Dutch versions. I did not have any fatal reads. It was great hearing the sounds of diskettes being read. And the fear when it suddenly made a different sound. I think I'm going to spin up an 86box environment emulating the PC I had in early 1995; and then install all these things. Insert disk 13 of 25 :D I saw 86box also has sound effects for reading diskettes: https://86box.net/2025/10/26/86box-v5-2...

  Took quite a bit of effort but I created a usable Gitlab CI/CD template to make container images using buildpacks without needing any Docker daemon. Yes it has limitations (only "trusted" builds; no extensions). But this setup does not require a DinD service in Gitlab which is slow and insecure. This template provides two base jobs which with only a tiny bit on config covers almost all our application images.

  Updated Zawinski's Law: "Every program attempts to expand until it contains an LLM agent. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can."

  If Al is so great, then why can't it recommend me a movie on the streaming services that I have which fits the mood and taste I currently have? The best I can get is "you'll like this movie which you watched only a few months ago"?! I can assure you, I am not a goldfish.
