    Computers always have the best timing to install updates that take an eternity right on that day where you have stuff to prepare for the first meeting of the day... Any other day this thing would have been done 10 minutes ago. But today it tells me &amp;quot;100% already done&amp;quot; but keeps on doing... something?

    I don&#39;t think there are many people who can talk about how computers measure time for 20 minutes and keep me engaged. But something about @mattgodbolt@hachyderm.io doing it just works for me. Surprisingly interesting stuff. Especially the very end how CPUs can trick you when trying to profile stuff! https://youtu.be/xs5iOwkX9fU?is=u_ncD1s7JjteDtDi

    Building some #Docker images on my machine right now and just watching it gobble up gigabyte after gigabyte of disk space I am wondering if this is really the right tool just to set up some build environment for a software project... Let&amp;#39;s see if the remaining disk space is enough to get through all the layers that still need to be built.

    I am in the market for a new #ereader. Is there a recommendation from my fellow nerds here? I have a #kindle that is 15 years old (literally!). So that one has no backlighting or anything. If I trade it in, I can get 20% off a new paperwhite from amazon which makes it a kind of nice price (~144€). But I wanted to consider other manufacturers. Is the #pocketbook era worth the extra price? Would be like 60€ extra. Any others I am missing? Any input welcome.
