Create one of those Uses pages. Still a work in progress, but there's a good chunk of the stuff I use on there now.

The fox continues to prowl around our chickens. This morning we caught it in the GARDEN a few feet from our favourite chicken. Luckily the magpies warned us and we were able to scare it away.
It's not nice keeping the little cluckers cooped up in this heat, but needs must unfortunately.

I've talked about LLMs a few times here - the TL;DR is that I find them useful for certain use cases.
Searching something complex? Great.
Checking my code, or helping me with a problem in said code? Count me in.
But summarising a page I'm reading? Absofuckinglutely not.
One of the things I really enjoy about the web is surfing it and reading. Reading is one of the great joys I get from the web, and in general. Why would I want a bastardised version of your words presented to me by a computer when I can read the actual words you took time to write?
LLMs have their place and are useful tools in my opinion, but I'm getting sick of them being crammed into every facet of computing.
Hopefully the bubble will burst soon and we can all enjoy an LLM enriched web, not an LLM hijacked web.

It's handy when your riding buddy is a photographer. You end up with some nice photos.

Some goats, just goating around, watching me mow the field.

I was listening to Late Night Linux 390 during my evening walking with the pooches tonight, and they were talking about (among other things) Kagi search.
I've tried Kagi myself, but ultimately cancelled my subscription as I didn't really see the point in paying for it when I could get similar results with DuckDuckGo.
This isn't because DDG or Kagi are inherently bad, it's because no matter which service you use, the web has been SEO'd to within an inch of its life, so we're fucked either way. That's why I stopped using Kagi as I didn't see the point in paying $10/month for a service that can't fix the web despite having some interesting options to help filter the noise.
What I've started doing instead is to use DDG for simple queries that I can quickly and easily get the answer to. For anything more complex, I go to my LLM of choice (currently Gemini) and I ask the question there.
This is because it saves me a tonne of time sifting through all the SEO crap, and I can ask follow up questions too. Win/win.
