ohnoerik!

the ol' classic "don't feed the trolls"

finally got a new robovac that is supported by valetudo. works quite well so far.

this is pretty good

I am not liking this seemingly increased trend of some drivers *speeding up* to try beating pedestrians about to enter a crosswalk.

jailbreaking my TV and trying to kludge up a patch for the way I got in now that I have root

Less than ideal. Highly recommend Kagi and Fastmail if you want to switch out and are fine paying a few bucks a month.

Actually being able to stream media on the internet. Dialup could kind of do it if you liked small squares. DSL (368k or whatever) was better, but sucked. 1xRTT could squeak out some excuse for video but it sucked. EvDO got a little better but sucked. Fiber to my home *and* 5G? Now we're talking.

I think I just want to live in the woods for a bit blog.calif.io/p/iphone

The uncertainty is what's getting to me. I have a lot of fun with these tools in my free time, but there is so much uncertainty about what jobs will look like in 2 years. I suspect that's the uncomfortable tension I feel from others right now at work.

look maybe terry davis was onto something by not adding networking into templeOS

Lmao

BREAKING: The PHP programming language was found to be written in C. Sources recommend never using the internet again. More to follow at 12

This feels correct. I’m at a place now where lots of folks want to improve workflows with Claude but everyone’s jumping to write skills and wants other teams to install them. It’s just not a great paradigm. The effort would be better spent on finding ways to make the raw information accessible.

I really want a way to say “I trust these CAs for these TLDs/domains” as a client, and a way to explicitly define which CAs I trust as a server. My brain could be drawing a huge blank but to my knowledge I don’t think there’s a good approach for either.

hot take: the people who think X mattered/matters spent too much time on it and are as obnoxious as redditors about reddit

this ain't good (and also we are *extremely* fortunate to have a number of open source maintainers taking this seriously)

seems suboptimal

The Fairfax City Hall had a pretty busy stream of people voting early today

rubio looks rough lmao

having a lot of fun this morning. set a thing up so i can toss a PXE-bootable machine onto any port of my mikrotik switches, flip that switch into a provisioning mode, and re-deploy linux/whatever. never having to ever copy an ISO to a thumb drive or my IODD again

search your cameraroll for "boat" and post a pic of a boat you like

It should be a crime for a utility company to send emails that insinuate a service/payment issue when they're actually trying to upsell junk.

uh holy crap this is kind of unexpected and neat for a map app to just build in

Homeward Bound for Tax Purposes

services revenue, baby! mastodon.social/@marioguzman...

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your CV? Person who wrote the layout engine for Microsoft Word: absolutely not

finally, a nice autumn morning

Not only is this not real: if you take a long, hard look at who told you it IS real without doing BASIC due diligence first, then I think you should take some learning from that about source reliability going forward. Because it’s going to get more confusing, not less, until November 3.

I didn’t need that money in my checking account anyways

I’ve been having so much fun forking open source apps and tweaking them into behavior and a UI I like to replace commercial apps. I’m extremely grateful for the foundation that others have laid for me to do this.

the precedent that’s being set is wild. not feeling great that The One Easy Trick to Just Do Crime is to proxy it behind a corporate entity, a couple of funding rounds, and a LLM.

part of the fun of having a homelab is having a never-ending list of things to do with it. i've basically caught up on a multi-year backlog and idk, the feeling of "complete" with it is strange.

holy crap AWS has spend limits now??? docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/lat...
