> That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point


I duckduckgo'ed "nose gear collapse" earlier and it seems it may be an issue that's more common than expected? At least there were lots of images of airplanes with broken front wheels and the nose touching the floor.


This is a joke about "The Front Fell Off", a classic comedy video from a few decades ago.


If you haven't experienced the awesomeness of "The Front Fell Off", do yourself a favor and seek it out on youtube... you won't be disappointed.


Also check out All Birds Are Cats by the same duo.



I learned something new. That also explain why it was a quote and I didn't found the quoted part in the news item itself. :)


Congratulations, you are one of today's lucky 10,000! https://xkcd.com/1053/


Joke ? Those people were serious.


From the picture and the text this aircraft was parked at the gate. During a hard landing the nose gear may collapse but not while being parked. And while parked there are protections to prevent retraction. However, these can be overridden by maintenance.


Well this time it at least didn't fall into the environment.


Very impressive work, WireGuard is a phenomenal piece of software, congrats on getting to 1.0

I can see Raymond Chen’s eye twitching at some of those (clever and necessary!) undocumented workarounds though :D

Windows is just a different world I guess


People forget that macOS and even Windows (well, pre-11) excel at swapping. There are all sorts of hacks and tricks they do to make sure the system remains responsive when under severe memory pressure.

This compared to Linux, where desktop environments seem to get noticeably bogged down and stressed out when swapping (the cursor starts stuttering and the shell becomes unresponsive).

Although even KDE does OK on 4gb of RAM in 2026 as long as you only have one instance of Chromium loaded.


I feel like a lot of this is that Macs come built in with very fast SSDs (although App Nap, when implemented by apps, is one of the best low-RAM features to ever exist)


It's definitely the software. My M1 Pro macbook running Fedora behaves very poorly under memory pressure.


Win 11 is actually way better at memory management than Windows 10. It's just more bloated.


That's only true for M Macs. Intel Macs with 8 GB of RAM perform pretty poorly.


My Intel Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM has always seemed fine on the rare occasions I use it.


Other states that do this well don't start counting mail in ballots until after polls closed. They know if someone voted in person, so their mail in ballot is rejected before being opened and verified.


I ought to complain about YouTube more often, #47 with an average of 1200 points per post


Technically correct, the best kind of correct


Unfortunately I don't have pictures from before this change, but you used to get 5-6 videos I believe. Now you get two (and maybe one is an ad).

The point is that I made a joke projection in my last post in April that by next May there would be only one video on the homepage, because obviously that would be ridiculous, right? Then I turned on my TV and it happened.

See the previous blog post: https://jayd.ml/2025/04/30/someone-at-youtube-needs-glasses....


On my Apple TV I get 2.5 thumbnails per row and 2 rows. I honestly think that's appropriate for a TV interface and I basically like the UI. I find YouTube's Apple TV app to be the least clunky of all the carousel-of-videos apps that I use.


Satire is dead


1070 TI works perfect on Arch for the past ~6 months with latest drivers (better than Debian stable!). This card is old enough that only the closed source drivers are supported, but it seems to work fine.


Tangentially related: once I bought a no name Amazon HDMI switch that would cause FM interference but only when the screen was mostly white: https://youtu.be/n2DPLEvwO-k

Another reason to use dark mode I guess


What's interesting is that HDMI is supposed to have a scrambling system that prevents any repeating pattern from causing EMI. I wonder if there was an unshielded, unscrambled raw data path somewhere in the switch.
