Great write up! As for wired headphones I can wholeheartedly recommend the KZ EDC Pro. Very reasonable price and they have removable cables with both a 3.5mm jack and USB C Cable. KZ are great value for money - I’m not affiliated with them or anything.

Looks really nice!

It depends, but for me one use case is decoupling the end device from the application. We have laptops, desktops and phones in our household and rather than installing/updating every single one of them I have a central point for management, with all of the downsides of course (if the thing fails, it fails for all).

When I add a new machine to the network, every functionality an data is already there so I don’t need to copy or install anything everywhere.

I use vaultwarden/bitwarden but I’ll check it out.

Was trying to be a sport and use GPT5 exclusively to write a python script that I could have whacked out in about 2 hours. The task was simply authenticating to an on-premise instance of sharepoint, reading a list of folders and documents recursively, authenticating to a cloud instance of confluence and recreating the structure as confluence pages while converting every docx to a confluence page and generating a link to the other ones.

After 4 hours of correcting and babying it it managed to successfully authenticate and parse the file and folder structure, but didn’t implement any of the conversion and linking logic correctly. I know gpt 5 is not geared towards coding, but it’s the only thing my company has (copilot) and I had to spoon-feed it on details for the auth mechanism and parsing for example so much so that it would have need easier and faster to just do it by hand.

You guys use editors? Real programmers only need a mechanical hard drive, a magnetized needle and a steady hand.
