  It’s a been a week. LinkStack hasn’t crashed again. Maybe I fixed the CPU issue?

  @billinkc@beige.party @pmpjr@techhub.social IIRC the meeting maker can do that. I want it function like Zoom, Slack, Discord, Matrix, Mattermost, HipChat, etc where I can override the meeting settings to always be muted when I join any meeting.

  @prime@mastodon.gamedev.place The large majority of recent grads I've worked with and even people who are in their early 30s now barely know how to install software.

  Experimenting with Claude and OpenClaw locally now. Seems to work fairly well using the more recent open models from China. I've gotten more used to the Claude workflow from work, though I can definitely tell a degradation in accuracy from Sonnet and Opus at work. But Qwen3.5 seems pretty damn close.

  @User47@vmst.io while I did enjoy the ecobee I had, at least as a Nest replacement, mine had A LOT of weird issues that someone who isn't versed in spotting software bugs would probably have trouble with. Like sending a stupid alert before checking to see if the HVAC is even on first. Or in one case for me ALWAYS reporting terrible air quality unless a desk fan was pointed directly at it blowing full blast. Or having the motion detector randomly spaz out.

  The only companies that participate in "Best Place to Work" surveys are those that are so insecure that they feel the need to "game" outside recognition to make themselves feel better about building a hostile and non-inclusive workplace. Every company that participates makes the list because you pay to be nominated for it and there's usually enough HR people to 5 star rate everything that you'll get in regardless. #employment #jobs #workplace

  I’ll always have a soft spot for metalcore and Erra absolutely knocked it out of the park with Silence Outlives the Earth. #erra #metal #metalcore

  @bss@social.coop Another point here too is that Proton was forced to turn over the payment information, they didn’t just give it up. With a paid account I’d think it would make sense to use email aliases for nearly every communication you have so your actual proton email isn’t exposed. This is built in to ProtonPass. Might not have stopped linking that alias to a payment but it couldn’t hurt.

  There is nothing like the loneliness of autism. Desiring some form of connection but finding it too painful to even pursue anymore. Sure, I can manipulate anyone into being my friend. My masking is off the charts when I have the energy for it. I can be anyone you want me to be just by reading you and contorting myself into the perfect doormat for you to walk all over. But I don't seek connections with people that would never accept who I actually am anymore. Which unfortunately is the...

  Not that anyone working at Snowflake would even be aware of the Fediverse or Mastodon but I'd love to formally request they keep their fucking Terraform resources up to date with their actual platform updates so shit works a little more consistently. #snowflake #terraform

  As WWIII continues to ramp I think we're going to find out moving everything to the cloud was a huuuuge mistake.

  Do I want to pick a fight on here with someone responding to me with barely any cohesive sentence structure? I'm really tired of seeing people with real profile pictures that look middle aged with a profile showing them as being educated and employed but their responses to me are BARELY English and understandable. It didn't happen like this on Twitter in the before times. What is going on with people?

  @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org I think its likely ChatGPT or Claude chose obsolete targeting data. Lets not pretend that this entire thing isn't being managed from the top by an LLM for people who can't force themselves to do even 5 minutes of actual work and not by the actual military.

  Anybody else abstain from their favorite bands the week they have a new album coming just so the new tracks hit harder on release?

  @User47@vmst.io Just install ollama. Then you can use it to pull and run all kinds of models. I just generally use Deepseek-R1 as it's a decent reasoning model and a little more focused for my use cases. You just have to find the right parameter size for your hardware that gives you a reasonable compromise of complexity and utility vs performance. I generally use the 8b model on a mobile 3060 in my laptop.

  Have you ever worked anywhere that actually encrypted sensitive information at a column/field/table level? Or did your credit card/loan/insurance/etc processing service tick the “encryption at rest” checkbox and move on? #data

  I’m moving to my own Matrix instance and leaving Discord AND Signal.

  I will say, building out a terraform project from scratch with some help from Claude has taught me a whole lot more about terraform project structure and abstraction than I ever got from reading blogs. Still not a fan. It still tries to do stupid stuff but its at least been useful as a teaching tool in this instance.

  I’m an admin on a pretty large and very active Discord server but we’ve spent the weekend getting a new self hosted Matrix instance setup. Things are mostly working so far. Having some issues with device registration on mobile and user sync ATM but signups are working and the bones of the services seem to be all functional. I’ll be getting our server sync scripts running this week to start syncing the Discord and Matrix instances to fully pave the migration path. We plan on likely shutting th...
