I keep my ARRIS SURFboard SB8200 modem in my TV cabinet next to my MikroTik hAP ac3 router, which sits between my work desk (two monitors, speakers, mouse, and keyboard) and computer and wireless access point (NETGEAR WAX 202 running OpenWrt). I previously only had two electrical outlets behind my desk, attached to...
I have been running the Arch Linux-based EndeavourOS on my desktop workstation since the summer of 2022. I use Calibre to manage my ebook library. I had previously installed Calibre from the main Arch packages repository. While it always worked as expected, I would often (if not usually, or almost always) see a nag...
Quoted Grizzlies' Ja Morant mum on feelings after return from ban (espn.com) They all might have negative value. How can a talented NBA player have “negative” trade value? Because the NBA has a salary cap and various rules making it impossible or financially punishing to add players beyond a certain threshold, the...
From Reuters on Pope Leo XIV’s recent trip to Beirut: Five years after losing her daughter in a devastating chemical explosion at Beirut’s port, Nelly El Helou said Pope Leo‘s silent prayer at the site on Tuesday was enough to renew hopes that those responsible for the blast would be held to account.

According to NoteBook Check, it will have a 5.3 inch display with a resolution of...

Had you asked me before November 17, 2025, I may have tentatively guessed it was. But I now know better thanks to Sterling Dudley writing for Internet Archive Blogs:...
I recently read a November 23, 2025 Morning Brew report by Adam Epsttein titled America’s oldest sport is drawing up new plays. The artticle is about a new professional lacrosse league called Premier Lacrosse League (“PLL”). To be sure, I had not previously heard of PLL, but PLL is not the focus of this things I...
I just published a short post on The Vending Company’s 2025 snacks and drinks survey focusing on my surprise that Pepsi took the first place ranking over Coca Cola (see survey). I focused on the top two in that post, butt I found another point which surprised me. Diet Coke came in 4th place on the soda ranking,...
The Vending Company surveyed 1736 respondents about their favorite snacks and sodas (see survey summary and article about the survey).
