Wanted to reboot my blog and was pondering the options. Self-hosting a static site would be okayish, but I also don't really want to yak shave the whole thing.
I used to like Substack, but it just is becoming an increasingly weird platform thingie. So maybe giving Ghost a try?

I don't really know what to do about all the different social media sites. More and more folks are following me here, but I am not really using it.
Maybe I should rotate through the different networks on a weekly basis :D (bsky, X, LinkedIn, Mastodon...)

Turn Your Mac Into an AI Playground with Docker Model Runner
Docker's Model Runner enables developers to run large language models (LLMs) locally inside Docker Desktop. This makes it easy for developers to start using LLMS, eliminates cloud dependencies, reduces latency, and gives developers full control over AI inference.

This project is key to Java. We need a notebook to bring Java towards students, scientists,... and help them doing research/POC's in the same language that can later be used in production systems where performance/stability/scaling/security is key.

Google Gemini for Workspace requires an enterprise tier subscription to turn off. It's the best economic story for their AI.
I didn't expect them to find it, but they did because after billions of dollars and decades of ML work Google has finally created a self-aware product manager.
