For many years I wished I had a setup that would allow me to work (that is, code) productively outside in the bright sun. It’s winter right now, but when its summer again it’s always a bit. this weekend I got closer to that goal. TL;DR: Using code-server on a beefy machine seems to be quite neat. Passively lit codin...

Posted by Daniel Lange on Friday, 31. January 2025 Apparently somebody managed to resell Seagate hard disks that have 2-5 years of operations on them as brand new.
