Today I learned about ESP-NOW over here: Forget WiFi! This Wireless Method is WAY Better?
This looks like exactly what I need for a project I’m planning. I want to connect my WiFi router with a relay between its power source. I can then trip the relay to reboot the router. I need to do this every couple of months and doing it manually is a pain because I have to walk into the other room to do it.

In this video I unbox my new Kingston FURY Beast White 128GB (4x32GB) 5600MT/s CL40 DDR5 XMP DIMM | Overclocking | Plug N Play | Intel XMP 3.0 | Kit of 4 | KF556C40BWK4-128.
This is the replacement RAM I ordered after the Corsair RAM debacle (wherein they sold me scrap metal, not RAM, really, you wouldn’t dream of it!)
You can read about Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 Memory and find the KF556C40BWK4-128 specs (PDF). There is also warranty information and memory installation instructions.
You can learn more about memory timings, particularly CAS Latency.
Today I managed to double the RAM in ‘charisma‘ from 64GB to 128GB and also double the RAM in ‘treat‘ from 16GB to 32GB. A productive day!

I read an interesting article today Handling Cookies is a Minefield. It’s basically about what characters are supported in cookies across browsers and servers.
As a rule I only use two cookies: a session cookie, which identifies the session, and a persistent browser cookie, which identifies the user and their browser.
An interesting video on the history of the Debian distribution: Documentary – Debian “The Distro”.
Today I learned about Firefox troubleshooting mode.

Thanks to my mate @edk from IRC I learned of the compose key. I configured my KDE Plasma desktop to use Right Alt as my compose key in System Settings -> Input Devices -> Keyboard -> Advanced. Then I updated the firmware and deployed a .XCompose file that I generated, and now I have a symbol keyboard on my Debian Linux workstation!

I wanted to use Subversion to checkout one of my GitHub repo branches, because an svn checkout only downloads the files it needs, not a full copy of every file ever added. But I discovered that GitHub sunset Subversion integration earlier this year. Sad face. Still, I suppose the economics justify that decision. As a consequence of my research, which was a bit sketchy because there is still heaps of documentation out there referring to the GitHub features which no longer exist, I did happen to learn about:
