Taking a week off the week of July 13th. My job has me burnt out, physically and mentally. Take care of yourselves people. At the end of the day, companies are just paper.

Trying to find a better tool than dependabot for managing Kaneo's dependencies. Dependabot is just noise and I would like to strike the balance of upping dependencies for security reasons vs "just because." Anyone have any recommendations? Preferably Open Source friendly 😎

My month long test has completed. blog.randoneering.dev/blog/3mpd2ra...

I need a shirt that says "it's not a DBA problem". Or mug. Or both

kinda funny how the spotify engineering team just wanted to talk about how much they push the claude button and now the spotify PMs have a million datapoints of feedback flying at them from everyone

This is the way. 🤟🏻

Hey Mother Nature. I love you and Earth. I know, we as humans, suck and still can't figure out how to agree on reducing our impact on you. But the current weather in the Treasure Valley is why we left Illinois. Also, it's giving me a headache.

Any homeschooling parents on here? Looking for where you prefer to get your materials you use for your curriculum. This can be worksheets, premade (or a guide line) curriculums, etc. Just trying to find ways to keep our kids minds sharp during summer (and during school)

I look forward to giving back to the community that helped me get where I am today! #postgresql

Hey y'all, putting out the bat signal: I'm looking for full-time, part-time, or contract work in product design or frontend development. ("Design engineering" if you're trendy.) Over a decade of experience building design systems for startups, healthcare, civic tech + more. ky.fyi

As a maintainer, this was a great read.

Just a few more days left on my month of only using local models and/or free tier models in opencode. I don't think the results are going to be shocking to anyone, unless you have or were able to purchase devices with GPU capacity to handle higher parameter based models.

@samwho.dev just listened to the episode of @overcommitted.dev where you were a guest and I just wanted to say, from a dad to another dad, you are doing great. We had two kids during the pandemic and it was challenging on many levels. I am happy to see other dad devs being real in the community.

I've been wanting to watch Critical Role from the beginning, but I honestly cant imagine how long that would take me. Since Season 4 ended of the Vox Machina series, I'll kick off around episode 103 of the campaign. I miss playing DnD so dang bad.

Shouting into the ether. Looking to find my next challenge as your Data and/or Infrastructure engineer at your startup/small business. It anyone is looking for someone who genuinely loves to learn and build amazing things, please let me know! www.linkedin.com/in/justin-fr...

Anyone else just take a shower and immediately have "oh crap, I need to write this idea down!" I really think shower thoughts are powerful and absolutely gives me the right to take multiple showers a day.

To celebrate companies that pay maintainers, we've created a new website, featuring @danielroe.dev and folks from @ag-grid.bsky.social, @sanity.io, @sentry.io and other great companies. Let's support the tech we depend on. Here's to the next $7 million! 💃

Hey! Today I joined Kaneo's as a core team member! I love contributing to Open Source and working on Kaneo has been a blast. I look forward to all the awesome things that are implemented! github.com/usekaneo

test post to see if invalid handle is fixed

I look forward to the time when I don't get a weird look when I read docs to see how something works....

This is a great idea. I don't have a spare Mac (I run nixOS, btw)..but I'd be happy to add my current AI workstation (using a 3060 12gb, nixOS) to the compute pool! I have a few laptops too....

Successfully self-hosting pds thanks to @justingarrison.com YouTube video walkthrough. Thanks man!

Me: "What is the plan for today hun?" Wife: "Not a thing" Normal People: "Aw yeah!" Me:

Typical events past 21:00 every night. "Oh, I need to learn more about devenv"... Clicks on video, sees thumbnail for another tool "hunk dif code review tui....interesting. Wonder if it's in nixpkgs already.." "Wait, what was I doing in this project?"

Latest release of pgFirstAid provides examples of CI workflows with pgFirstAid baked in! Great for DevOps, Devs, or any engineer looking to add value to their CI pipeline. github.com/randoneering...

What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is about to give up on their search for a new job after almost a year of interviews(sometimes even multiple rounds) but has yet to land anything? They still have a job, but that job is destroying their love of the work they do.

It's a shame that the app that is supposed to help connect various industry workforces and help find new careers has become a constant stream of just nonsensical media on the "three things I am not doing and why I am not a billionaire." Cool. I'm just trying to get out of this life sucking job.

If anyone is looking for an Infrastructure engineer or data engineer that can be full stack, let me know! Seems it's about who you know now a days.. www.linkedin.com/in/justin-fr... Or email [email protected]

I realized that I desperately need a new/better headshot. Should probably get on that eventually

@justingarrison.com Saw your LinkedIn post and couldn't agree more. Also, I guess I never followed you on here. If I wasn't looking for a new role/challenge, I would spend less time there. However, I haven't really found a better place to do that yet. Either way, +1

@jimsalter.bsky.social Just listening to 'Ask the hosts' and your experience with Ann Leckie's first book in the original series. You hit it perfectly. Once you have that moment, oh boy you are in for a friggin trip. I love her writing!

This Tuesday (June 9th) at 6:00pm, come to CWI Ada County campus for this months BSDG meeting. I will be giving the same(ish) talk about pgFirstAid. Usually I pick some self hosted services using Postgres as a backend, but happy to try a new one. Any ideas? www.meetup.com/bsdg-meetup/...

Something I am researching right now is deploying and managing fleets of NixOS servers. I already manually manage these with specific flakes, but there are other projects out there. Going to check out deploy-rs, colmena, and nixos-anywhere. Anyone have any preference on this? #NixOS

Looks like I have a fishing partner 😎

I've been a 2-3 monitor person for about 6 years. I always wanted something like the LG Dual Ups (get two, have them side by side). As my scoliosis progressed, I find myself having a difficult time moving my neck to look at monitors. Time to start looking for the monitor. Looking at you Benq RD320U

Afraid to tell you how long it took me to do this....

I guess it was time to come out of social media hiatus and join this.
