I spent the last few days alternating between reading, thinking, and muddling around with NDQ using Claude Code. About 50% of my time involves cleaning up the data so that I can do more sophisticated analysis with this text. To get a sense for what Iāve been working on, check out the post on Tuesday.

Hereās one reason why. While it is somewhat about increasing costs, itās about more than that. I do technical support with a...

If you want it then you have to want it.Nothing can stop this. Nothing is allowed to get in your way and nothing, no matter what it is, no matter how big the obstacle is and no matter how thick the walls might be and no matter how high you have to climb and how hard you have to work, nothing is allowed to get...
OpenZFS Mastery is starting to pick up momentum. Donāt look at it too closely. You might scare it. First, note how ridiculously wide this VDEV is. A fourteen-disk VDEV will have suboptimal performance and experience slow death by fragmentation. Also, the devices were named badly. Now that drives have failed, it...
