I was about to post about how nice the last 10 months of OpenFreeMap have been. The architecture has really proven itself to be great, Cloudflare has agreed to sponsor the bandwidth, Hetzner servers are super stable as always, serving tiles from Btrfs proved to be a great choice, nginx is amazing, and life is good. Then, out of the blue, I'm getting reports that some tiles are not loading, which normally means tile generation bugs, but not this time. I look into the nginx logs and see this: 20

Sweet treats can make excellent mid-day pick-me-ups or after-dinner desserts, but they can also add a lot of sugar to your daily diet. If you're trying to eat healthier, there's no need to cut sugar out of your diet completely or ignore your sweet tooth. The important thing is to be conscious of the types of sugar you're consuming daily and whether you're eating a balanced amount.

Framework Desktop (2025) Review: Powerful, but perhaps not for everyone

The most obvious question is “Why?” Framework builds modular , repairable laptops that anyone can take apart and put back together again. It’s a big deal in an era where laptops are regularly sold as a single unit that, should one part break, goes in the trash. Since every part of a Framework machine can be swapped out, you can keep one going for as long as your patience, and the supply of spare parts, allows.

Framework Desktop Review: A Delightful Surprise

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-12-07 08:00:00

The Framework laptops did something no other laptop could. With the ability to upgrade or swap out nearly every internal component, they are sustainable, unlike any other. But the Framework Desktop isn’t so unique. After all, one of the primary reasons people buy (or build) desktop PCs is the ability to upgrade the system on their own. This 4.5-liter mini-ITX PC isn’t so different from many of the compact PCs you can already buy. And yet, Framework’s distinctive approach makes this stand out.

Framework has built a name for itself by taking the locked down world of laptops and making them modular, upgradable, and repairable. So it’s surprising — and maybe even controversial — the way that Framework has approached its first desktop: it’s made a PC that’s actually less modular than most. Don’t worry; this isn’t a Mac Mini situation, where mere mortals are not meant to touch the innards of such a brilliant little computer. But it’s not a traditional small form factor PC, either.
