I ended up buying the same KVM switch I had before, a newer model (the one I had was discontinued). Better KVMs are $200 and up and meant for two screens, which I don’t have, so it’s a waste. Besides, the performance of the old one was OK. Meanwhile, I’m using Deskflow.
My KVM switch died -- recommendations?
Well, it looks like my KVM switch finally died. Before I rush-purchase a new one, I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for one, or for a different solution altogether?
Do you like blogs? Have you checked Kagi Small Web?
Yes, I’m talking about Kagi again. But this one is a free service, and if you like individual blogs (or think the small web is dead) you should check it out.
On a trip to Connecticut last weekend, we saw plenty of mushrooms 🍄 and a few frogs 🐸. 📷
In Criticism of Kagi news
Yesterday, I posted about the new Kagi news and shared it with Nat. Nat is very skeptical about AI in general, and reminded me of the main problem he has with AI technologies like this one: the authors get no credit. In this case, the writers of the news articles who are used in the summaries have no idea, and probably get nothing in terms of profit, when I read these articles.
Even if I only read a small portion of the article (the summaries are small, only a paragraph or so) and each summary is made of a mix of many articles, the problem remains. Makes me wonder if there’s a better way to handle this…?
Kagi news looks really good, and I appreciate their principle of updating the news only once a day.
The news section is a “stream” of titles that expand when you select one into a short blurb (another core principal of theirs is that they need to take five minutes to read, no more) for more information. Each one of those “nuggets” of information is curated from several sources, which are all listed at the end of the article. I’m guessing the text is AI-generated, so some sentences may feel a bit odd, but nothing too bad.
On my way for a walk in the afternoon, met a neighbor from a nearby yard.
And for my next Synolog DRM adventure, I decided to… not really adventuring. I’ve been thinking of setting up Owndrive, from there went towards Nextdrive, and after reading a few opinions in general, I landed on Kevin’s review of both. As usual, it resulted in a head nod and a silent agreement.
FreshRSS is up. Kinda.
My FreshRSS server is up. Mostly. With some hiccups. And boy, do I have more appreciation for LLMs now. I’ll expand some more sometime soon, it’s late, I need to sleep…
There Will Be Blood, 2007 - ★★★
It's not a bad movie, but I didn't finish it. It's unsettling to watch Daniel Plainview, played by Daniel Michael, destroying himself piece by piece. I might come back to it at another point when I'm in the right mood.
