  Acquiring a company and immediately laying off all redundant roles is a great way to lose even the people you wanted to keep. Just axe everyone and live with the consequences.

  I’ve almost got Home Assistant rigged up for me to yell “Red Alert!” and have it change all my hue bulbs in my office and the hallway outside as well as all of my rgb fans in the server rack to dark red. I still have to come up with a way to have it sound the red alert klaxon from TNG but I’m working on it lol. #homelab #homeassistant #selfhosted #homeautomation #startrek

  One thing that sucks almost more than anything living in a neighborhood with a common mailbox is when you get a package delivered to one of the parcel boxes but the mailman puts the key in the wrong mail box. I’ve lost hundreds of dollars to this over the past almost 3 years now. Whichever neighbors get the key seem to always keep whatever package I was supposed to get instead of just dropping it at my door at the very least. Caught the mailman today to get my package from yesterday though. 👍

  @randahl@mastodon.social I have bad news for you about every CEO for every other car company…

  Medical stuff drains me. I took the entire morning off after an 8:30am appointment so I could just come home and crash for a few hours. We had some migration work finishing up last night at work. I knew there’d be issues today but I wasn’t moving my appointment just to be available. I really need other people to pull their weight. The entire enterprise can’t be dependent on me being available to troubleshoot systems I don’t have anything to do with or any expertise in working with.

  My god the new 156/Silence record is so dense.

  Taking advantage of my rewards from driving back to visit my mom got me a 3 night stay in Vegas to see the Chiefs play the Raiders and a concert for one of my favorite new bands over the last couple years. I just had to call the rewards line afterwards to stop trying to get me to book this trip a week after I booked it.

  Never fails. It’s either the deviation of having more/different food or the stress from the interaction but team lunches always destroy my stomach for the rest of the day.

  The way the GrapheneOS mastodon account is ran makes me lose trust in the project. Does anyone else feel this way? Sure does seem like a place to mostly air petty grievances in addition to actual platform information and updates.

  @panda@pandas.social Maybe, but it heavily turns me off and reads as unprofessional to me. If it was me I’d be wading into drama away from the official account on a personal one. People who want the drama and to be involved in that could follow both.

  @panda@pandas.social If you use the “company” account as your personal soapbox you’re only ever going to invite more friction with your actual project. It’s a losing strategy long term. Which is exactly my point here. I lose trust in the project as a whole right now instead of saying hey there’s this one guy who works on GrapheneOS that’s a little too online for my tastes. Because the surface area is exactly one account that represents literally everything. Anyway. My opinion doesn’t matter.

  Would be nice if they could get the covid and flu vaccines to not actually give you covid and the flu for 24 hours afterward.

  Literally built hardware for local LLMs just to do my own self hosted voice commands for all the IoT shit in my house because none of these companies can design a decent app to save their god damned life and I’m not letting Apple or Amazon know when the fuck I watch TV or what my thermostat is set to. #selfhosting #homelab

  I get why, I’m not really complaining, and I’m just happy for the access to the data. But man backfilling my local music library with lyrics from Genius and fitting in around their API limits is painful. I’d happily pay $50 or whatever to lift the guardrails for a week on my personal api token to get this finished. Ultimately I wish I wasn’t so anal about getting everything impeccably tagged but here we are. 🤷‍♂️

  @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org @mattgriffin@masto.ai @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I only listen to music on my phone speakers playing loudly in public spaces.

  @maklem@social.leuchtstark.dev It’s just a way to expose an internal site to the public web without opening ports locally. Also useful if your ISP blocks TCP 80,443.

  I don’t care what Codeberg does because I firmly believe you should just host your own source code if you’re someone doing dev work anyway. Don’t depend on anyone else to host your work. #codeberg

  Since I moved my primary music listening to my Navidrome server I have been getting a kick out of my old collection while I backfill everything from the past 15 years or so from Soulseek. Remember Army of Anyone? Or that excellent Dave Navarro solo album? #navidrome #subsonic

  I lose connection with other “millennials” because I’m just too old to have given a shit about HALO or Pokémon. I was playing Magic, Battletech, and Warhammer and was simply hardcore into PC gaming and had no interest console games like HALO in 2001. I was playing Quake, Diablo II, and Starcraft.

  The only thing I was hyped about in the Doomsday trailer is seeing the X-Men again because for a lot of us in the 90s Marvel was only X-Men and Spider-man. Otherwise Disney is insane for launching this steaming pile directly against Dune.

  Kind of seems like OpenAI just wanted to breach another site hosting open source competitors to their own platform and then blame it on their agents because how could they ever be expected to control the tools they’re building? #openai #llm #ai #huggingface https://apnews.com/article/openai-gpt56-sol-hugging-face-63ab84fed5612af04d8a160d60f6def3

  I’ve finally convinced the Youtube algorithm, the only algorithmic social media I still use, to serve me not just dog videos but schnauzer videos and this makes me extremely happy.

  I generally do not invite people in for interviews that have for profit universities on their resume. Is this unfair? I think it shows a lack of sound judgement with a predilection to seek shortcuts in life instead of putting in the work. Especially when you can usually attend a public university for cheaper and they aren’t going to give you a diploma just for paying on time and showing up. #getfedihired #education #resume

  GroundNews has NEVER revealed their financial backers and has actively refused to name their backers when asked, but their founders came from Bain Capital. They outsource their “bias” detection to 3 different companies. Biases that can be manipulated by simply using less/more inflammatory language. No data has ever been released about how their AI summaries are generated. Don’t give this shady fucking company your money. #groundnews #news #data
