I wonder how this evolved, as the links are from fall 2022:

On the TODO list is to write more about the origin of “grief doesn’t shrink we grow around it”. For now, this is good enough:
The theory is from the influential 1996 article “Growing around grief—another way of looking at grief and recovery, Lois Tonkin TTC, Cert Counselling (NZ)”
Nowadays most people refer to it as the “grief jar”, see image below, but these weren’t the original images: those are on the right. Initially everyone thought that grief would shrink as seen in Figure 1 and Figure 2, but in fact we grow around it as shown in Figure 3.

When “Open” Dutch Fiber (ODF) builds a fiber network, the internet provider Odido (ex T-Mobile Netherlands) gets a year exclusive use of the infrastructure.
In practice that is longer (see below tweets why), and for me it might become almost 2 years after ODF announced they would start building the local fiber network in the area where I live: [Wayback/Archive] [Odido Glasvezel] Ervaringen & Discussie – Internet en hosting – GoT.
You really do not want Odido, as they do NOT support IPv6 (I have Does Odido (the old T-Mobile Netherlands) which took over Tweak Internet (they supported IPv6) already support IPv6? scheduled on that).
Currently Odido does a lot of colportage, even threatening that copper will be phased out – yeah, that is going to take years! – likely because their exclusivity period is about to end. Which is a reminder for me to check if other providers can already deliver over the ODF network.
Dates to remember:

For non-Windows systems, I have used TeamViewer in the past and when they started being obnoxious reverted mostly to VNC derived alternatives. For Windows, I’d usually combined VPN with Remote Desktop.
Recently, I found out that during my first rectum cancer year (and for others, the first COVID-19 year), the development of RustDesk – which can be self-hosted – started as an open source project on [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – rustdesk/rustdesk: An open-source remote desktop application designed for self-hosting, as an alternative to TeamViewer. with their first commit being [Wayback/Archive] Initial commit · wabarc/wayback@650ea87 · GitHub.
I got pointed to this in [Wayback/Archive] Your Remote Desktop SUCKS!! Try this instead (FREE + Open Source) – YouTube.
One of the main things to figure out is how reliably RustDesk does firewall hole punching*.
Another personal interest is to learn more about Rust and Dart, the main programming languages in which RustDesk is written.
Here are some links:

After moving, I wanted to install new UniFi access points and upgrade the firmware of my existing ones.
The Cloud Key running the UniFi Controller software had long died (bringing that to market was a really bad idea from Ubiquiti in my view), so I started looking for UniFi controller software I could run locally.
From past contacts with other UniFi users, I knew there was some kind of Docker solution, but I hard a hard time finding it.
It looks like UniFi has been busy though and have three download lists coming back with essentially the same software, heck even point to the same release notes ([Wayback/Archive] UniFi Network Application 8.6.9 | Ubiquiti Community)
The actual download of the most recent version is at [Wayback/Archive] Software Downloads: Download UniFi Network Server – Ubiquiti.
If I understand [Wayback/Archive] Self-Hosting a UniFi Network Server – Ubiquiti Help Center correctly, what they mean is that the UniFi Network Application is an implementation of a UniFi Network Software that runs on MacOS/Windows/Linux.
You will likely have to download by hand as – especially on Windows – the package managers are versions behind. At the time of writing the version available above was V8.6.9 released 2024-11-06. This is what was on the package managers:

Een paar jaar terug kwam dit interessante bericht langs van [Wayback/Archive] Lars Boelen 🍃 on Twitter: “Dat kan! En wel door je woning ‘s nacht voor te koelen. Dat doe je door ‘s nachts beneden een raam of deur inbraakveilig open te zetten (dat zal soms wat creativiteit vragen) en zo hoog mogelijk in huis een raam. Het huis gaat daardoor als schoorsteen werken”

This post covers some topics around one of the retro machines I have. They helped me form some thoughts on additions I might want to add to mine.
The RGBtoHDMI interface converts the “digital” RGB video signal from the BBC Micro or Electron to HDMI compatible with most modern TV/Monitors. The interface comprises a Raspberry Pi Zero and a specially designed Hat containing a small CPLD. Custom firmware on the Raspberry Pi, in conjunction with the CPLD, is able to correctly sample each of the Beeb’s video modes to give a pixel-perfect rendition.
Needs a Raspberry Pi, but looks very interesting.
Back in 2022, someone started doing an amazing thing: reverse engineering and rebuilding a 256-grey/color video card for the Macintosh SE/30 PDS (Processor Direct Slot).
A very interesting start of a long journey with the result that a few people could actually play around with it. Hopefully by now more have been produced, but be aware: this is a hobby of the designer, so unlike some other hardware: do not expect high numbers of these boards to become available.
Long thread in – for now – 14 pages of which I think below are the most important excerpts:
