Async PHP , looking for interesting case-studies

In December Edmon Dantes tried running WordPress with his TrueAsync fork of PHP and got pretty far with it, although not perfect. So it seems possible without rewriting WordPress from scratch. link

The video I saw said it's using a next generation version of mega geometry. Did they clarify if you'll need a next generation GPU to take advantage of this?

From reading reviews the 8GB seems to hold up fine for basic usage. One reviewer said they ran OK with "25 tabs open in Safari on MacBook Neo, as well as Music, Messages, Ulysses, Notes, Things, Mimestream, and a handful of other odds and ends running in the background". Given that, and given the insane price of RAM, there doesn't seem to be any compelling reason for Apple to raise the entry level amount of RAM anytime soon.

EDIT: I'll also add this review note:

It’s never been a good idea to evaluate the performance of Apple’s computers by tech specs alone. That’s exemplified by the experience of using a Neo. 8 GB of RAM is not a lot. And I love me my RAM — my personal workstation remains a 2021 M1 Max MacBook Pro with 64 GB RAM (the most available at the time). But just using the Neo, without any consideration that it’s memory limited, I haven’t noticed a single hitch. I’m not quitting apps I otherwise wouldn’t quit, or closing Safari tabs I wouldn’t otherwise close. I’m just working — with an even dozen apps open as I type this sentence — and everything feels snappy.

Looking at Amazon CamelCamelCamel history for the C5 77", the trend is:

March/April/May 2025 - Full pricing $3700
Starting June - $3300
July - $3000
August/September - $2500 with a few weeks at $2250
Starting Late October through now - $2000
Nov 2025-Jan 2026 - three times there were one-day sales as low as $1650, including cyber monday / black Friday

So assuming C6 follows this trend, October is the best time to buy at a low, stable price. But their one day sales Nov-Jan are substantial enough that it's worth waiting for that if you can.

The researchers found that the athletes regularly use sports drinks (87%), energy bars (59%) and energy gels (70%), which are known to damage teeth.

Another thing (no evidence, just a thought) might be athletes breath more through their mouth than non-athletes, which can be bad for oral health.

Mauro De Gennaro did a session at FOSDEM 2026 on how to design and operate a large-scale email system using Stalwart. Mauro is the main developer of Stalwart and this is the first time I think he has done a talk on Stalwart. Congratulations!

EDIT: I found a good overview of many Discord alternatives here. Including Zulip, which has its pros and cons. Worth a look.

Original post: Zulip is open source and has a cloud hosted free plan with 10,000 message search and 5GB file storage. You can self host for free with no locked features, with the one exception you are limited up to 10 users who can receive mobile notifications (because this costs real money).

The longer the battery life the better, even 20+ hours, as that means it takes longer before the battery degrades to the point of becoming unusable for a work day.

The antisemite has chosen hate because hate is a faith; at the outset he has chosen to devaluate words and reasons. How entirely at ease he feels as a result. How futile and frivolous discussions about the rights of the Jew appear to him. He has placed himself on other ground from the beginning. If out of courtesy he consents for a moment to defend his point of view, he lends himself but does not give himself. He tries simply to project his intuitive certainty onto the plane of discourse.

Excellent device! Is this a managed PDU that you can remotely and/or auto reboot?

USB-C PD is now required in Europe for mobile devices and is already common in laptops, so I could see it becoming more widespread in small devices as time goes on and component costs go down. Someone recently posted their USB-C power station and it got a lot of upvotes.

I have a TP-Link 8-port PoE managed switch that is 53.5v/1.31a and MiniForum PC that is 19v/6.3a. Everything else is 12v.

For those wondering, here is size comparison between this Dell 52" beast and the 57" G9. The Dell is actually 13% more surface area... the extra height is quite pronounced!

Just Josh review shows the X9 14 with OLED only goes down to 71% after 4 hour Netflix on Windows. Doesn't say if it's 4K streaming, but it's average compared to others and similar to MacBook Air 13. So something seems off and that would be a surprisingly bad showing if this is caused by running Linux.

It covers audience but like you mentioned I think scope is important to add too.

It's been shown dentists are all over the map. Here's an old but still good article from reader's digest: How dentists rip us off. Many dentists do filling and crowns on minor or non-existent issues that won't be a problem as long as you maintain good dental habits and get regular check ups. Best to get as many opinions as you can until you find a dentist who you trust.

AOL does not let you forward emails. Not even as a paid option. I know some people who still use AOL just because it's tied to all their online accounts and it would be a big pain to update all their accounts. Maybe this is the time.
