I changed the way I wrote my y's (now very curly) and z's (now crossed) in college while studying math after realizing I was making silly mistakes changing y's to x's and z's to 2's.

Love seeing stuff like this on old laptops!

I recently built https://linuxlaptopprices.com/, inspired by diskprices.com.


Hi! Big fan of linuxlaptopprices - it's exactly what I've been looking for. Have you considered adding a "ships to" filter? I live in Alaska and I'm looking to replace my T14s with bad soldered memory, but a lot of the listings don't ship to AK/HI.


Any chance it could have a region filter?


I've been using Jekyll for my blog for nearly 10 years now. I also recently wrote a little plugin that uses SQLite, though I'm using it in a minimal way as a vector database rather than storing content in it right now.

Who's eligible for IRS Free File?

> Taxpayers, including active-duty military, with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $79,000 or less in 2023 can likely find an offer from an IRS Free File provider that matches their needs. Some providers also offer free state tax return preparation. Those with an AGI over the limit can still file their return for free using Free File Fillable Forms.


VS Code takes an opinionated view of this with "dev containers". Other IDEs (including JetBrains) have support as well. It's probably worth looking into a little, whether you decide to use them or not, to understand why they made some of the trade-offs they chose. I wrote a little blog post as an intro a while back: https://www.mikekasberg.com/blog/2021/11/06/what-are-dev-con...


Thank you so much! Ive been needing to set this up for a project of mine and this helps a ton.


On a related note, the number of HTTP 404 errors I see to /wp-login.php on my static website is ridiculous. (But absolutely not security risk.)


That's what you get running a webserver. This is what should happen (but you could choose not to log those...)


You could also temp-ban those IPs for a few hours and save yourself some CPU and bandwidth.

It may not seem like much, but I spent a year or two adminning a >1 million reqs / day cluster, and it does add up. Auto-banning this type of obvious offender (with fail2ban, as it happens) did result in a noticeable improvement for us.


You could indeed (temp-)ban them based on logs. Of course it is a huge improvement, if you catch offending IPs early, they never hit any app.



Shift-click (on the last photo) to select bulk photos works in the web interface. Not sure you can do all at once but you can probably do hundreds at once.

Same thing happened to me. 10 years ago using Linux on the Desktop was tricky but worth it for me. Now it's almost the opposite, my Linux desktop feels smooth and unobtrusive compared to Windows, and rarely has any problems!
