  • KAGI search returns:

    Bukkake (ぶっかけ) means “to splash/pour over,” referring to a common cooking technique of ladling broth or sauce onto noodles or rice. You’ll see it in everyday dish names like bukkake soba (cold buckwheat noodles with dashi poured over them) and bukkake meshi (rice with broth/sauce splashed on top)

    The etymology breaks down as bu (an emphatic prefix, “with a bang”) + kakeru (to pour, splash) → “to hit/pour hard”

    TIL: I like to bukake pancakes, waffles and french toasts.







  • Maybe it’s because I am in tech, but not a single person in my friends group drives a pickup truck. Even now that I’ve moved to Wyoming, there are no truck owners. To be fair, pickups suck in our weather. A lot of Subaru and vans though.

    I guess what I am saying is that maybe gas guzzling pickups aren’t an American thing asuch as they are a specific type of American thing.








  • Our IT infrastructure is woefully unprepared to guard against the frontier LLM models we have now. I cannot even imagine what the infosec landscape will look like in five years.

    Example: I built (as in me, by myself, on Vi) some scripts to backup my GOG library. I added alerts, throttles and a scheduler. All in all, pretty cool functionally but not at all user friendly. So, I asked Claude Fable 5.1 to build a gui app based on my script, and it did. It also tested it and verified it workes by login in and starting a few downloads from its sandbox. Except that I never gave it my GOG credentials. I’ve never logged into GOG from that environment. Claude went out, got someone else’s credentials from somewhere, and initiated a few downloads to make sure the app it built worked. Thank you, I guess??







  • I use Proxmox as a VDI server. I understand that this isn’t homelab territory, but selfhosted VDIs have proven exponentially more reliable and easier to manage than cloud based ones (after the initial PitA setup). Flawless copy/paste, screen resize, and most importantly, file transfers. When you connect to 12 different clients, each with a different set of security requirements, system hardening, monitoring, and VPN access, being able to console amd fully interact with a sandboxed desktop becomes priceless.
