Readit NewsWhat I mean to say is that there is a type of person that will never click on an ad, even if they want to buy the product. Worse yet, most of the time I do click on an ad, it's a misclick.
But I don't see this as a failure of the ad industry. I just think I'm the edge case.
Is this surprising? My model is that keeping with the new versions is generally more dangerous than sticking with an old version, unless that old version has specific known and exploitable vulnerabilities.
Love notepad++ and will continue to use it.
A) easy access my other, older machines from my phone or work laptop to:
- self-host a Coolify server (a "vercel-lite" control panel)
- remote connect to my older laptop to run tests/longer coding tasks for work (e.g. large browser test suites, sandboxed claude running in bg to answer longer code questions, or build fire and forget spikes/experiments)
- control my home cinema remotely (remote+ app bc it's easy and Remote Desktop).
- use w. Mullvad VPN as an exit note (Tailscale has a really easy UI for it nowadays)
B) use it like ngrok to expose my dev servers to the internet (e.g. when sharing a quick demo/pairing with a coworker)
C) cheap NAS - I the old mac is connected to an external HD (the HD itself is archived to Hetzner)
I haven't (yet) tested it as an alternative to Hamachi (is it still a thing?) but I'm planing a LAN party with my brothers who live across the continent.
Like you, I also didn't know what the fuss was about, and I'm generally cautious not to get sidetracked.
As a single guy, I just cook the oats in the bowl that I intend to serve them in and, since it's basically water just water in the base of the instant pot, there's not much cleaning required. The oats cook without manual intervention during the cooking process.
It takes a bit of time, but in theory you could set up your instant pot on a delay timer and wake up to freshly-cooked steel-cut oats.
Also, using ice cream as the benchmark is misleading, as people might view it as a junk food and think that its glycemic index is higher than they otherwise would, but actually its glycemic index is low/moderate, depending on the type.
