Jason Eckert writes about vintage and unusual hardware like the SPARCbook, plus ARM64 Linux workstations and open source licensing.
HN commenters praise his SPARCbook posts as the only detailed coverage online, and link his Mac Studio Asahi Linux and copyleft articles.
For me, drawing the line as to when you will leverage AI and when you won't comes down to a quote from Kurt Vonnegut: "Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."
Art is where I choose to draw the line, for both ideation and content generation. That work report I leveraged AI to help flush out isn't art, but my personal blog is, as is anything I must internalize (that is thoroughly understand and remember). This is why I have the following disclaimer on my blog (and yes, the typo on this page is purposeful!): https://jasoneckert.github.io/site/about-this-site/
I searched for that laptop and your blog [0,1] is the only result I found. I love it.

These blog posts are from 2023, but they go over the experience with a Mac Studio:

You can use github for comments, I had implemented it on my blog earlier. Currently removed the section completly. Here is an example on this site.

In case anyone wanted to read the article shown in the picture, here's the link: https://jasoneckert.github.io/myblog/copyleft-is-dying/
I facepalm'd when I realized the image itself was in the same article.
