OTD 1982: Boston #USENIX conference. First "trade show" for #SunMicrosystems. www.krsaborio.net/un...

Live demo of the new camera mode in ChromaMagic 4!

It’s been reviewed and is out there! Phased release to iOS over the next 7 days, and as always Android and Windows versions will come later. We are a one person team, two cats with @micheleclamp.com doing the real work! This is a big one folks. #art #painting #chromamagic

We all have a love/hate relationship with the AI. @micheleclamp.com has used a commercial software ($20/yr) to digitally "frame" her lovely art, so we poked at an AI, and came up with this little python script below. Not sure how we feel about this. github.com/DrCuff/Image... #art #painting

There appears to be a new command-line in macOS 27 for interacting with Foundation Models

Ooohh la la!! BENDY PHONES INCOMING!!!

The hammer is falling biggly and very wicked hard over at my old $dayjob. It’s grim folks. Posting here mostly for @phylogenomics.bsky.social who always has insider info. www.linkedin.com/posts/drcuff...

I had a quarter sheet with a wash on so tried a small version of The Old Manse in Concord (MA not NH). #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorlandscape #art #concordma

Proof that today was more than a bit warm for average Massachusetts in May. Magic puss here was waiting for his mom to come back from painting in Concord. Hot kitten. Toys abandoned. #cats #catsofbluesky #chromamagic

It's been a bit of an emotional evening over here at Clamp and Cuff towers. The internet is amazing! And it is genuinely full of amazing people. We just need to find our tribe. Thanks Catherine! #art #chromamagic

Not a single one of these LPE have been called Fraggle Rock. Yet. Disappointed. #linux #cve

this is proper open source. #zfs #linux #fedora

Also modern automagic cat feeders appear to have more CPU than my first HPC cluster. (Cross posting to my tech account)

I’m predicting some wicked quick marathon times. Best of wishes to all the runners today! #running #marathon #boston

Update on ChromaMagic v4. So, @micheleclamp.com and I went to see Project Hail Mary (open day) 20th March. I sat next to some young high school kids The cinema was packed, they love the Ryan Gosling. I got very sick, Michele now has it a week later. V4 is going to be late, Michele is a trooper!

So. Who’s ready to make mega money here? (Alt text, shonky photo outside our supermarket, plus AI)

Yesterday's news about the Pi 5 16GB being $299.99 was *not* an April Fool's joke (sadly)—DRAM pricing is killing the hobby SBC market, and it's not just Raspberry Pi that's affected. I wrote more on my blog, here: www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/dr...

The bit here is. @jcsalterego.bsky.social hasn’t seen the true power of an open protocol yet.

I encourage everyone to take a print of this image and put it next to your desk. Every time your sophisticated pipeline conks out, you can say with full confidence that this is fine. You got this. 🤣

I’ve been looking for a way to explain to folks what is happening, and why “the AI” isn’t always the big bad all the time. Sure mega tech is trying to ruin it, but real wholesome work is happening in AI. What Jay and team, along with many others are building for us will make our network stronger.

In over thirty years, in or adjacent to data centers, the only tool I probably haven’t thought to use is a hair dryer... www.linkedin.com/posts/drcuff...

This reminds me, I didn’t cross post here.

🚡 Iykyk

Awesomesauce. Peak Fry Pi here. 🤣

RAM is getting expensive, so squeeze the most from it www.theregister.com/2026/03/13/z... Zram versus zswap – two ways to get a quart into a pint pot <- by me on @theregister.com

Everything you needed to know about New England weather, but we’re afraid to ask...

My Posts Order Themselves Beautifully

Technically, this is actually called conversational rawdogging…

Worried about the new California law on age limits for Linux? Don’t panic. Everyone using Linux is already wicked old. /s #unix #linux

Pete Tong is 65.

Worried about escalating storage costs? We so got you covered. 🤣 #btrfs #unix #linux

Starting to think this election may have been tampered with… #chromamagic #magicpuss #chromapuss #cats

Spammers have 100% legit nailed this whole AI thing. This is way better than Dear <insert name>, such progress, much nonsense. Wow. 🤣

Sure, I downloaded random internet png files to support my m3u8 files, and kinda sorta just half arsed it. What more do you want? Yes. This is peak #homeassistant 🤣

Thanks to @lproven.bsky.social, this could come in handy. Why not YOLO this into my profile?

What the blizzard of 2026 taught me about B2B sales. 🤣 www.linkedin.com/posts/drcuff...

Facts detected. See also “scientific” computing software. The 17TB is 100% real, but for science, it needs to be constrained to a single machine. On a single core. No threads. No MPI. With one lock file. On NFS. /cc @boegel.bsky.social @tgamblin.bsky.social for fun (we’ve seen things) 🤣

You have 15 minutes remaining to get the bread, and the milk! Stay frosty out there friends!

I don’t know how you get them, but I feel I’m ready for my BlueSky blue check mark now.

Just sent an email to my dad who used to be a legit professional trombone player about listening to Radio2 playing brass band music, but now with added techno. The opensource tech to send music to the kitchen and the library from England and all be in sync has me quite teary eyed.

For @peeka.blue and other #homeassistant folks who do the #music on #musicassistant We nailed it. github.com/owntone/ownt... Also more thanks for @micheleclamp.com for putting up with me. Wheee. (ABBA is playing)

Facts.

A promoted ad on LinkedIn. Some folks I know here are going to be trillionaires… if this cross posts to mastodon we are basically looking at a new global economy. 🤣

Yo Dawg, We heard you like Claude, so we put Claude in your containers to contain Claude so it contains your containers that Claude’s gonna find a rootkit to bust out your containers. Sorry Dawg.

I did a reminisce… awww it all seems such a long, long time ago now. www.linkedin.com/posts/drcuff...

I just thought of a website for passively-cooled computers called "OnlyFanless". In a roundabout way, you can blame @forbiddenunix.com for this. I will not elaborate further.

Reposting for my life science friends. Sequence pipeline abundance might well be finally here? www.linkedin.com/posts/alexgd...

I know a whole pile of humans in senior roles who would click all these connect buttons. The #openclaw thing has nothing on what corporate midlevel managers will do... www.linkedin.com/posts/drcuff...

I’ve been saying for a while that DRAM has got like wicked spendy… www.linkedin.com/posts/drcuff...

At this point everyone on bluesky is probably already following our good internet friend Rich. Pointless PR, but do follow Rich. Especially if you need to keep up with actual legit data center news. We all do. #hpc
