Im curious can't your use case be done with Github self hosted runner ?

Or, like, a cron job.

>scripting and automation

I cringe at my old boss’s handiwork in Claude and power automate sometimes and go “you know I could just do that in a script and a cron job and it would be completely bullet proof, right?”

Then he just shoots back with, “yeah but now I don’t have to ask you.”

This is my kludge, there are many others like it but this one is mine.


Does the boss not understand that they could get Claude to write them a script and a crontab entry (so they don't have to ask you) -- and then run it forever (so they don't have to pay Anthropic, or risk temperature randomness)? Best of both worlds...

Boss might not even know what Bash is, let alone a crontab.

crontab yes, flavors of shell, no.

But I actually did appreciate the one time he handed me a Cisco config that was 90% perfect and took me all of 5 minutes to fix. Sometimes the three of us make a hell of a team.

Sony just relanced their streaming service this month with on paper better spec than Microsoft (4K streaming)


Latency is 90% of what matters in these products. Does higher resolution impact the latency?

But kindle is The cheapest e-ink afaik


Last time I looked the Nook simple touch (6 inch android eink tablet) was about £30 delivered 2nd hand. Love mine. I spent a long time (a few years ago) setting it up with all sorts of android fun, but now I just use it as a epub reader and it fits that niche perfectly for me.


The cheapest e-ink is a $5 2" Waveshare EPD plus an ESP32.


this remind me, our university use google workspace for managing emails for all the student, I'm using the iOS mail app to consult and send emails,

but last year google increased the price (or) reduced the storage so the IT in the university removed the inactive account, they removed my account so when I went back to the university to fix the issue in the console it showed him I didn't connect for more than 2 years (yet I show him the then last week email that the IT department sent it which talk about the new storage limitation
