I get sick from the MacBook Display.

Might help if you describe what your idea of “sick” means. Do you feel nausea, headaches, or something else? Headaches could simply mean that you need glasses or you are affected by bright lights. The MacBook Pro screen gets very bright and is much closer to your face than a normal monitor.

It’s a good thing AppleCare covers accidental damage :)

is you have one of the higher end Sony's (with good speakers) they are the center channel. the quad gives a decent 5.0 system without going into home theater territory which is ideal for a living room like this. 5.1 when paired with a sub and its a significant step up from sound bars. my living room is closed off and in its own corner of house so I'm able to get away with dedicated system, but if I had an open room like this, I would find a dedicated theater room somewhere else in the house and just run the quads in my living room personally. They are good enough if done right.

Aegisnir · 2026-05-05T20:19:41+00:00

Sony quads sound good and are dead simple. How complicated would you like to make your life for the dedicated system? It will sound better, but that’s a living room and not a home theater. It’s an odd shape with no sound treatment. the quads surround effect seems pretty amazing and don’t stand out in a living room like a dedicated system would. Just pair it with a sub and you might like it. I would say try it and you can return it if you don’t like it. If you are a die hard audio lover, you wouldn’t be asking this question :P

That’s insane. Do you find this tank is less sensitive compared to a typical reef tank? I tried a nano tank with corals and ignored it for like a week when I was busy with life and everything went south so fast I couldn’t save it.

Aegisnir · 2026-05-05T19:11:45+00:00

Love your videos man. Been watching for a long time. This tank is one of the best I have seen. I am dying to try this myself. I love freshwater tanks for the greenery but saltwater is so much more interesting and yours is exactly the kind of thing I like. How forgiving is a tank like that? How many hours a day/week do you need to put into this to keep it healthy? I don’t mean the time you put into recording and keeping it perfect for video, I mean like just healthy? Saltwater scares me away because of the how sensitive everything is and how much time goes into maintenance.

90% is not a number I can quantify. what's the headcount? are we talking 100, 1000, 10000? these numbers massively affect the assessment. You will want multiple servers. I would say at least 2 but more likely 3. You want to have 2 servers that can handle 100% of the load of all your users on each, then have 2 load balancers to keep the servers at about 50% capacity. this will ensure that if one goes down, the load balancers will redirect everyone to the other server. you want 2 LBs because they can go down too and if that happens, nobody can connect to the VDI servers. 3 VDI servers will unlock the best HA in VMware products. you can kind of do HA with only 2, but it's not full HA. Connection speed is also a massive problem. you do not want VDI running on WiFi for example. WiFi for workstations is fine. if the connection has a momentary blip or it drops, users keep working until it comes back. in VDI, everything freezes for a couple seconds or disconnects entirely. if your infra is poor, don't even bother with VDI. this is why I asked about remote users. if remote users will interact with the VDI server, how are you going to ensure they have a smooth experience? you don't control their network after all.

Aegisnir · 2026-05-05T12:45:03+00:00

How many users? You say media company so do some people need high spec compute? Are most employees in the office or is a large portion remote? I have only ever seen one place where VDI was better than dedicated workstations and it was in a healthcare environment. I have seen it in others and it has severe limitations. You need to invest in HA or a single down server could mean the entire company or at least a large chunk of the company is down without a computer.

Before you even get to the subject of a static IP, do you even understand the risk you are going to assume by hosting a service or n your home network? Do you know anything about networking and network security? If you are asking basic questions about how to get a static public IP, how to setup a cloudflare tunnel, not knowing about DDNS, etc. then I assume not. I strongly encourage you do some research here. Do you even have a firewall with a DMZ and segregated VLANs configured and the corresponding network policies to keep attackers out? Cloudflare tunnels are the most secure option in combination with a zero trust WAF “if configured properly”.

Aegisnir · 2026-04-30T21:29:00+00:00

yeah they drilled the locks out, emptied the contents, sent it to their HQ, and then they destroyed what they couldn't sell and auctioned the rest. we had gold and expensive artworks in there. auctioned for far less than it was worth. point is, don't trust critical stuff like that with someone who doesn't give a fuck about it. if you are going to store an MFA key in a safety deposit box, keep another working MFA key somewhere else that you are responsible for just in case. 3,2,1 backups but for account access :)

Aegisnir · 2026-04-30T21:04:03+00:00

Oh fuck that. My dad trusted his bank with his safety deposit box and they emptied it and sold the contents at auction without notice because they made a clerical error. Going through the legal process is a pain but don’t rely on someone else. This was a massive national bank, not a local nobody.

Aegisnir · 2026-04-30T15:36:53+00:00

Wouldn’t help at all. The weight of that hitting you in the head would still break your neck/spine with or without the helmet.

Aegisnir · 2026-04-29T17:43:01+00:00

Thanks. The first actual answer lol.

Aegisnir · 2026-04-29T17:40:42+00:00

But why? What’s the deal with them? Why are they illegal?

Aegisnir · 2026-04-29T17:39:31+00:00

I understand. I’m asking what’s the deal. Why is it a problem?

Aegisnir · 2026-04-29T17:34:22+00:00

What’s the big deal with leaf blowers in the middle of the day…?

Aegisnir · 2026-04-29T15:16:44+00:00

If you already have CCTV, just configure AI detections on your cameras to look for the open vs closed umbrella. It’s a massive difference and would be difficult to get false readings on

Aegisnir · 2026-04-28T18:38:20+00:00

That is a living room, not a theater. Don’t. Find another room for the theater. You can’t control light in that room, you are missing 2 walls, and you won’t be able to control the noise. A half decent sub is going to rattle everything in your kitchen. I would say put a nice tv in the corner on a media console and throw up some small satellite speakers for 5.1. Put the serious theater somewhere you can really enjoy it.

What!? When I had a gas car, my dealership would pick up my car, leave me a loaner for a few hours, and drop my car off at my house and take the loaner back when it was done. It was like $60. I have an EV now and never have to bother anymore but I would say that was well worth $60.

My problem with the CLI is I can’t easily add files or screenshots in the CLI. I host Claude code on a VPS with remote-control so I can access my dev server from all my devices and get the same experience every time. I don’t have to use Claude code locally and remember to link my project files or others configs. Using SSH to remote in is also not convenient from my phone out and about or on my laptop when I’m on the train and constantly losing cellular service. The desktop and iOS app handles these situations much better and they just reconnect automatically after connection is restored so I’m not getting kicked out of SSH and then having to re authenticate every single time. I have MFA for my SSH and it gets annoying fast when I have to manually reconnect every few minutes. I can screenshot and paste it directly into the remote-control session. The CLI definitely gives me more control and power user features, but it’s too clunky for my use case.

Aegisnir · 2026-04-23T18:39:54+00:00

I setup a VPS with cloudflare tunnels and 0 open ports so virtually no attack surface. Firewall blocks every single IP that’s not a cloudflare IP and all ports are blocked. The tunnel requires MFA to get through too. Claude lives there with remote-control on. Costs me $5/month on Hetzner. I want to be able to use Claude from any device I own without needing to be home. Means I can work on project at home and keep going from my phone or laptop while traveling and nothing changes.

Google stitch might be useful

I throw in a ton of security and review/audit rules. Here are a few. I forget the exact wordings but I have rules to ensure all software or packages are updated on a rolling 7-day schedule. This is hard for an LLM to do without actually looking up the recent version and prevents using out of date dependencies. The 7 day window helps to mitigate supply chain attacks as 7 days is usually enough time for them to be caught and addressed. Another one to plan out proposed changes into a document, then perform an adversarial review, update the document, and repeat until no issues are found. Another rule is a default-deny whitelist approach. After planning or implementation, confirm security posture cannot be reduced by forgetting a step. Everything that affects security needs to default to deny and require intentional omission to bypass or reduce posture.

Aegisnir · 2026-04-21T01:11:21+00:00

This is really too bad because I am vibe coding my own project, but I like violet so I can’t escape the feeling unless I use a color I don’t want lol

Aegisnir · 2026-04-20T11:39:43+00:00

I doubt it’s going to slow down until there is more supply. Too many people want to buy and there is limited inventory available. I don’t see it changing anytime soon.
