RE: https://mastodon.chrispelli.fun/@hnbot/116060523294054738 Well this took.... <checks watch>... a while.

Github... Gitlab... doesn't matter, they all go down at some point during a workday. 😅

An eloquent and long discussion from @TechConnectify about solar and the political climate. 👏🏻👏🏻 Hope alone won't get us there, we need more voices like this and loud ones. https://youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?si=g37c76lSgvZ3x56y #uspol #solar

Ah, found my match.

I picked a good weekend to want to drive across the US. #storm

TFW you buy a car at auction and your buddy helps you fix the aftermarket head unit at 10pm in another friend’s driveway.

So too, America is unrecognizable today. https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/greenland-trump-tariffs-trade-eu

This article should've led with this paragraph instead of burying it: “Over the years, Adams had disputed the death toll of the Holocaust, said ISIS supported Hillary Clinton for president, celebrated those who resisted getting the COVID-19 vaccine, reasoned that society looks upon women in the […]

Very good question. Why are Grok and X not removed from the App Store? https://www.wired.com/story/x-grok-app-store-nudify-csam-apple-google-content-moderation/ #apple #appstore

RE: https://mastodon.chrispelli.fun/@hnbot/115725860295127812 Bummer, but it couldn't have been a big surprise that a $75k+ electric truck that only has about 150-200 miles range when towing and is equally a huge pain to charge when towing wasn't a big seller. When I tow, it's usually a long […]

Garage doors, #enshitified with wireless. The home I bought has some 10 year old Liftmasters that work with #ratgdo controllers. Even the fact that those workarounds are required for the utterly horrible MyQ devices was enough to swear me off of intentionally buying #chamberlain products, but […]

I’ve been trying to clean up my desk cabling. I have an #LG 5k Ultrawide going to a #Level1Techs #DisplayPort 1.4 KVM which in turn plugs into a Mac mini and a #CalDigit TS4 dock for a MacBook Pro. TS4 sits on top of the KVM, so it only needs a very short […] [Original post on mastodon.lqx.net]

With #macos 26, #apple now has full first-party support for #containers that leverages Kata with a very #docker like CLI available. This is still running a Linux kernel, but hopefully this will evolve into being able to run native macOS containers too. Here's a great primer and some benchmarks: […]

lol okay, thanks for the email. > Your access to GitHub Copilot will expire in 3 days on 2025-10-28. I'm not sure if it was always time limited or because I haven't used it in a while, but 3 days notice feels kind of short.

I’ve taken trips to #lasvegas many times (probably more than 10). It has truly past a tipping point now. It’s the Denny’s of cities at this point. Everything is mediocre. Even terrible places have gobs of fees. It’s just not worth it anymore. https://youtu.be/cZ8C_qsuEg8

I’m kind of surprised how much corporate social media is promoted at #allthingsopen. Fediverse is getting no mentions on people’s contact slides. 😢

Coming from an organization that (rightly) bans AI meeting assistants, I really like this. It's self-hosted, private, and free for individuals. But they charge for organizational / enterprise installations and support. A perfect open source business model. https://meetily.zackriya.com/

There are so many propaganda gems in here, but the reason political violence seems to be escalating is because of the administration's unprecedented systemic removal of rights from citizens and non-citizens alike, and its never-ending destruction of government and protections it has established […]

This is clearly a pretext for many things, but the most obvious and immediate one is surveillance. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/countering-domestic-terrorism-and-organized-political-violence/

Trump has ordered the military to an American city that is not under any threat except from his regime. Here’s #oregon Governor Tina Kotek on the situation in #portland, posted on Bluesky at about 10 am pacific time.

By the way, where did all those "ready to defend America against tyranny" militias go from years past? Seems like it was all talk and cosplay.

#trump, honey, look at yourself, you're the terrorist. The use of fear tactics, strong arming, going after your political enemies with force. Text-fucking-book.
