No it's the Word app which is included in your organization's Copilot 365 .NET SharePoint license assuming you know how to trigger the download. The chatbot the license is named after doesn't have a clue either so good luck.
This is one of those slippery slope things where Grammarly did "just" Grammar and then slowly got into tone and perception and brand voice suggestions and now seems to more or less just want to shave everything down to be as bland as possible.
I tried using an LLM to help me write some stuff and it simply didn't sound like I'd written it - or, it did but in a kind of otherworldly way.
The only way I can describe it is like when I was playing with LPC10 codecs (the 2400bps codec used in Speak'n'Spells, and other such 80s talking things). It didn't sound like me, it sounded like a Speak'n'Spell with my accent, if that makes sense.
No? Okay, if not, if you want I could probably record another clip to show you.
All you have to do is prompt your AI with a writing sample. I generally give it something I wrote from my blog. It still doesn't write like I do and it seems to take more than that to get rid of the emdashes, but it at least kicks it out of "default LLM" and is generally an improvement.
One feature I greatly appreciate is the new default output mode in the SQLite shell in interactive mode. It now defaults to qbox with reflow and line limits enabled, making a fairly pretty output on the terminal. It even does rounded corners. :-)

I know some MAGAs. I promise you they believe it 100%. They often talk of ice walls and one asked me if the Artemis mission would "break through the firmament"?
There is a huge side of TikTok and Reels that most of us here would never find on our feeds which is dedicated to insane conspiracy theories and constitutes a large amount of the media that MAGAs etc consume.
One nit about the site: the screen elements forced me to make my browser window more than half the size of my screen, and I use a 3840×2160 monitor. My windows are normally about ⅕ the size of the screen and roughly 4:3 ratio shaped. It was nearly unusable like that (I don't suffer issues from almost any other site.)
On the game/bracket: it narrowed me down to Noto Sans Mono and I'm honestly not surprised, it's one of the few fonts that comes with my operating system that I find acceptable.
That being said, what I actually have my terminal and Emacs set to is “AcPlus IBM VGA 8x16” from https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/. I've always been fond of the VGA font and it tickles all the right usability marks for me.
OpenWrt has a generic x86 PC build that can also be used to turn basically any random PC into a router, complete with an operating system actually designed and developed for that purpose.
OpenWRT is great if it fits your use case. If one has reason to stray from the happy path a disadvantage is that the OpenWRT uses a single binary like Busybox and doesn't use glibc. This is great for embedded/low power machines like the OG WRT54G, but not as optimal for when you have an entire random PC. I don't recall the exact things I was looking for but I moved on to pfSense and didn't look back.
It doesn’t have to be. I have a proxmox homelab, running x86 openwrt in a VM. It has many other services running including home assistant. It idles at 3% CPU and consumes around 5w. I’m using a Levono thinkcentre.
Otoh it would make sense if you could combine it with a home server, then it's just a side process and you actually save power by not having an extra device.
Though you'd still need a switch or two. And a fiber modem which already has a router and a switch built-it. Oops.
Until the place you're VPNing to happens to use the same RFC1918 network address as your LAN (that is, your LAN is 192.168.10.x and the network on the other side of your work's VPN is also 192.168.10.x). Or either of them use the same RFC1918 network address libvirt is using for its virtual network. Or you want to route between several LANs (for instance, after a company merger) and some of them (but not all) were using the same RFC1918 network addresses.
All of this is avoided by using public addresses for LANs, but address scarcity makes that hard with IPv4 (unless it's a legacy LAN from the 1900s which happens to still use public addresses form the pre-NAT era).
Don't confuse "simple and good" with "flawless" :-)
There are indeed only a few private-reserved IPv4 ranges, and almost everyone prefers to keep things memorable and easy to type; you get a lot of 10.0.0.0/24, 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24 as a result. That, and common household routers tend to default to one of these three /24 subnets. (Hardly anyone seems to remember that 172.16.0.0/12 exists, feel free to use that if it happens to work for you.)
IPv6 does solve this issue in a few major ways, one of which is the greater expectation to rely on globally routable addresses, of which every one of your devices will have at least one such address. There's also fc00::/7 which is fairly equivalent to the IPv4 private ranges, though to avoid conflicts in random VPNs you should generate a random /64 prefix inside of this, otherwise you run the risk of everyone picking fc00::/64 because it's easy to remember/type (I'm guilty of this myself, but the VPNs I've configured just go into a random 172.16.0.0/12 subnet and no v6 assigned. I have the liberty that I currently don't need/use any VPNs that I haven't personally configured, and that may not hold true in the future.)
Huh, I have matter devices working here and IPv6 is off on my router and DHCP. And on home assistant too which does the matter router. Does it use link local or something?
