Interesting argument for leaving your HDDs spinning
Spent the weekend mostly coding and debugging, next I'll start preparing to upgrade my TrueNAS to 25.10.
Removal of some of the builtin SMART features is a bit surprising and seems to be an unpopular move. Hopefully there'll be no more false positives in Scrutiny.

Didn't realize how easy it is to crash a tab in mobile browsers just by scrolling a simple website. You don't even need any memory leaks or heavy JS computation.

Time for some overdue optimizations.

Found a concerning comment on HN from a Bluetooth firmware dev. Didn't expect things to be that bad.
It's also concerningly easy to find PoCs of Bluetooth exploits and use them on devices that no longer receive updates. I know because I tried one on my old Android, successfully.

Seeing more orgs switch to private npm registries lately. Guess it took the recent npm hacks to spark the change.

Slow weekend, read a couple of articles, watched some TV shows.
I’ll start dedicating more time to side projects.

"On October 27, 2025, Jiro Ono turned 100. A month before, on Respect for the Aged Day, Ono said he wanted to continue working and making sushi."
I may not live to 100, but I imagine myself having a similar mindset, never wanting to stop creating, learning or maintaining things.

My Tesla S400W air purifier is back in action, replacement filters are in stock again after months of waiting.
Now it's time to replace the leaky windows on my house, otherwise it'll freak out every time smoke drifts in from outside.

I mentioned the term "AI slop" to my manager today. Anyway, here's what I ended up reading about last night:
• Trusted Types API
• Angular Composables
• When returning from a constructor actually makes sense

Keep spotting posts on HN about bypassing airplane WiFi restrictions lately. DNS port used to tunnel traffic, spoofing SNI with a whitelisted domain. People find a way.

Just found out that Medium reading history goes back only 1 year. Apparently I've read 1798 posts in that time, that would be around 5 per day. I do read a lot though, mostly technical content.

Thinking about projects that happily go for years with hardcoded credentials in package.json, no lockfile = random build failures from "unexpected" package updates, all the while using the public npm registry.
People come and go. Nobody worried. It just works.

Was watching a Chubbyemu short about lead in protein powders and saw a comment pointing out a "2+ programming error" in human bodies.
Imagine being so advanced that we could patch this one.

Not surprised that many satellite comms are still unencrypted. That tech feels like it's stuck in past decades.
Satellites Are Leaking the World’s Secrets: Calls, Texts, Military and Corporate Data
With just $800 in basic equipment, researchers found a stunning variety of data—including thousands of T-Mobile users’ calls and texts and even US military communications—sent by satellites unencrypted.
