Since then, I've also deployed an AI crawler tarpit ( technically a maze - it generates an endless number of pages) to serve "content" up to crawlers who ignore my "No Entry" signs. I thought that it might be interesting to take a quick look at trends for both, so this post provides high-level analysis of the statistics that my… ## [What the Odyssey Teaches Fathers about Raising Sons](https://www.theascent.io/p/what-the-odyssey-teaches-fathers) _2026-08-07 · The Ascent · The Ascent_ Raising Telemachus: 7 Lessons on How a Boy Becomes a Man ## [Which Platonic Dialogue Should You Read First?](https://www.theascent.io/p/which-platonic-dialogue-should-you) _2026-08-04 · The Ascent · The Ascent_ How to start with Plato ## [Browsing the Web with Helium](https://opensourcemusings.com/posts/helium.html) _2026-08-04 · Open Source Musings_ Taking a look at a Chromium-based web browser that runs on the Linux desktop ## [De-Risking Into Earnings + Portfolio Moves 3rd August](https://sixsigmaresearch.com/p/de-risking-into-earnings-portfolio) _2026-08-03 · SixSigmaCapital · SixSigmaCapital: Navigating the Financial Markets_ I have several portfolio companies reporting this week, so I am going to be de-risking several positions ahead of the print plus booking significant gains. ## [Monthly Portfolio Update: +461.48% TWR Since 2023 (+356.48% Outperformance vs. S&P 500)](https://sixsigmaresearch.com/p/monthly-portfolio-update-46148-twr) _2026-08-02 · SixSigmaCapital · SixSigmaCapital: Navigating the Financial Markets_ Market Thoughts | +356.48% Performance Since Inception | 2026 Position Plans & Outlook. ## [Preview of the Week Ahead: W/C August 3, 2026](https://sixsigmaresearch.com/p/preview-of-the-week-ahead-wc-august) _2026-08-01 · SixSigmaCapital · SixSigmaCapital: Navigating the Financial Markets_ Situational Awareness LP Gets Forced Liquidated while Hyperscalers Rebound Just another normal week on Wall Street! ## [Web Coding With AI, Live (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/GTrpawEhoeps) _2026-08-01 · **Sponsored**_ Collaborative screen sharing with simultaneous remote control, open source. ## [Are You Living like a Cow?](https://www.theascent.io/p/are-you-living-like-a-cow) _2026-07-31 · The Ascent · The Ascent_ Plato's warning about a tyrannical life of pleasure ## [New Position (Monopoly like business in the Healthcare space)](https://sixsigmaresearch.com/p/new-position-monopoly-like-business) _2026-07-30 · SixSigmaCapital · SixSigmaCapital: Navigating the Financial Markets_ Each time I buy a new position or exit one completely, I will send an email and also update you in subscriber channels. ## [The Next Texas Pacific Land (TPL)?](https://stockpicking.substack.com/p/the-next-texas-pacific-land-tpl) _2026-07-29 · Nat Stewart · Nat Stewart - Stock Picking Newsletter_ Strategic transaction creates an under-the-radar Permian land/royalty juggernaut ## [Introducing the Remontoir "Store"](https://remontoirblog.substack.com/p/introducing-the-remontoir-store) _2026-07-29 · Marcus Henry (Remontoir) · Remontoir_ In which your intrepid editor immediately sells his soul and spends the entire rest of his writing career writing articles about watches in the shop.

The van itself has done a lot of miles, but the interior really is quite beautiful.

I maintain projects to track things that need doing round the house, maintaining cars, the LAN and even financial planning. The ability to add comments (a link to previous issues) makes issue management far better than a simple todo list. However, I've always been a little concerned… ## [Migrating From Gitlab to Forgejo](https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/blog/software-development/migrating-from-gitlab-to-forgejo.html?utm_source=rss) _2026-07-10 · Ben Tasker · www.bentasker.co.uk_ About five years ago, I migrated my project management from JIRA to Gitlab. There were some initial teething problems but, over the last half decade, Gitlab has served my needs pretty well. The urge to replace it, though, has been growing. Gitlab is pretty resource heavy and I've previously had to migrate other workloads off the host because they were impacted by Gitlab's RAM gobbling ways.

The Secret Agent The film is gorgeously shot, beautifully paced, superbly well-acted, and the sound design is impeccable. The story was a little lackluster for me, but that didn’t take away from just how exquisite this movie is technically, and how well crafted the entire… ## [Replacing The Blower Resistor And Fan On A Citroen Relay](https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/documentation/vehicles/replacing-blower-resistor-on-citroen-relay-van.html?utm_source=rss) _2026-06-25 · Ben Tasker · www.bentasker.co.uk_ I recently acquired a 2009 Citroen Relay van. Driving it home, though, I discovered that the cab cooling fans didn't work. Turning the switch to 1, 2 or 3 did nothing, going to 4 led to a whiney fan noise with very little output from the vents: default /\> There are generally 3 possible causes for this Burnt out resistor Knackered Blower Fan Broken Switch The resistor is, by far, the easiest and… ## [The Knicks, and perseverance](https://www.inthemargins.ca/knicks-won) _2026-06-23 · 2026-06-23 - Knicks Won.txt · Flashing Palely in the Margins_ The Knicks won! It’s old news by now, but I’m still riding the high of the Knicks winning the NBA Championship. The last time they won, I wasn’t alive, and the last time they even came close was twenty-seven years ago. This is truly a historic and exciting win. We moved to New York when I was really young, but those early years were formative in my sports fandom.

However, I recently realised that I screwed up when deploying it: I'd assumed that de-duplication of data was a given, but actually dedupe is disabled by default.
