Tahoe has been giving spinning wheel on Firefox browser since updating it. You switch from spotlight to Firefox, there's the wheel; leave computer alone for sometime and comeback there's the wheel. I want this mess fixed.

Similarly on iOS, Safari bookmarks don't expose all folder names but only "Bookmarks" and "Favourites" as default. Why do I have to do another extra tap to expose a single folder that I have to save bookmark in? Why cannot at least five folder names be exposed? Another absurdity is while saving a fullpage screenshot after cropping it, you have to click the checkmark "emoji" which is otherwise blank with no description, and then comes a sub-menu to save as pdf or photo; why cannot those four options be presented as is on the main menu?

"Yellen’s concerns start with the idea that capitalism depends on the consistent application of the law — regardless of individuals’ or businesses’ wealth or political connections. Undermine that, and businesses, both domestic and foreign, will begin to think twice about making investments."

Law upholds capitalism? Can law be bent towards socialism?

First, allow anyone to sign up for the blue check mark for $8. Verified accounts loses its value and Twitter gets flooded with fake accounts and foreign run accounts. Now, try to fix it with by showing users country of origin. Now, these users will try to figure out ways to bypass it.

After this change, accounts created in US will be sought after. Operate them through a US VPN. Voracious appetite for consuming content will be filled by outsiders. US effs up the world with violence, now world is riling up Americans with similarly worded content of their own politicians.

Why couldn't you get any other news media than the HindustanTimes.com; a plainly unhealthy Indian news blog to be consumed. We Indians have to suffer it because we have few options, it's amazing when these unreliable sites are given SEO boost on here too...

iPhone screenshot and cropping doesn't work. I take a lot of full page screenshots and need to crop them, but sometimes the button is visible and sometimes it isn't. Saving the page as PDF or photo is not intuitive either, you have to click a button that only has a checkmark with no writing on it, and then it says whether to save as photo or PDF. Cropping and saving has become a chore.
iamshs commented on Leveling Up My Homelab   cweagans.net/2025/09/leve... · Posted by u/cweagans

I down-leveled my homelab due to energy costs.

It now only consists of a Intel n100 with a big SSD and 32GB RAM running Proxmox. These China TopTon-boxed with their 5x Intel i226-IV network cards are great and can be passively cooled.

Every night the Proxmox makes a backup onto a Raspberry Pi which runs the Proxmox Backup Server.

Space and energy costs are a factor for me too. My current Mac Mini SMB is really good but DAS consumes lot of power. Ideally, I would really love Mikrotik's RB5009UPr+S+IN next iteration to have antennas and a 4-Bay Rose Data Server merged. Gateway, Switch, Access Point, PoE for CCTV and NAS - all in one.

Hit me in the feels. There used to be an amateur Russian beatmaker who I used to follow, it was so sad to see him drop off similarly. His paypal was cut off. I used to watch his IG lives a lot, loved the way he used to develop his beats. Very novel.

See also the Image Capture bug from several years ago where it appends a ton of empty data to imported photos:

(I'm not sure whether this bug has been fixed or not yet, though I think it has been fixed.)

Image Capture did me dirty once. Macbook ran out of space while importing photos but it never stopped and kept on deleting photos from my iPhone. Lost 5K photos of a wedding... submitted a bug and hopefully it has been rectified.
