6 of 8 neighbors in my cul-de-sac dumped Spectrum for gFiber in the *first 4 days* it went live. There are dozens of contractor cars swarming the surrounding neighborhoods. It's an incumbent churn bloodbath unlike any infrastructure adoption I've ever seen.

Running your Unifi Controller app under portainer.io on a Raspberry Pi makes upgrades a three-click affair. With linuxserver/unifi-network-application:latest as your image, click "Recreate" on the container menu, check the "Re-pull image" option on the confirm dialog, and that's it. Done in 30 secs.

Ignore the Temu iPhone at the open, but the design language gag makes for a funny Duet short. Thanks, interwebs. (16 Pro here) youtube.com/short T/qabaXO1IgBE

The enshittification of search marches on. Check my EV for a loose gas cap, Roger.

Well that was a nice little Lancer (B-1) Austin flyover. GE F101 quartet, no reheat. www.reddit.com/r/Austin/com...

AI enshittification may break the attention stranglehold of media, social and otherwise. They can’t help themselves destroy their own platforms following dreams of empty desks. That, or AI knows we need to go outside.

Google Fiber watch, day 3,752. Bootstrappy neighbor identifying missing box work to complete the conduit. After this they blow the fiber down the conduits.

When AI builds your plane. What even is this?

At least GPT pretends to understand.. to be more likeable.

TLDR; AI-train drones to recognize targets, pack them in custom, remote-opening containers, drive flatbeds 4500km, park near targets, click run back home. Defense is about to get interesting. (link, state media, purported pics) united24media.com/war-in-ukrai...

Late-stage Austinism.

Just jailbroke or at least escaped the topics guardrails of a virtual assistant on an ecomm site. Is the future social engineering your way in via enterprise chatbots?

ITOps classic: false alert in a maintenance window. 😂

I'm incredibly proud of my ScienceLogic teammates today as we're again named a leader in AIOps in the Forrester Wave. If you've been involved in AR/PR you know how special it is to rank ahead of larger vendors with well-known, strong offerings. Congratulations to the whole ScienceLogic team. 🎉

Interesting #homelab issue today. 1) My 11 yo #Synology DS1515+ hard died, but I popped the drives in the same order into a DS923+ and it came right up because, Synology is awesome. 💯 but.. 2) #Unifi wouldn't hand out a DHCP lease because its US8 switch needed a power cycle.. what? 🤔

And lo! It has come to pass. Real insider Austin merch, and a symbol of taste to other veterans. Also a sign of your Austin driver Stockholm syndrome.

How many years does it take for something to become a tradition? Ex: First day of Spring Break == Rodeo Austin. Perfect weather helps. 🎡🎢🍬🐂🥤

Once again, AI is us. The article mentions something I’ve been doing to “calm” GPT without knowing it. When it wanders into a tone I don’t like around problem/solution content, I sooth it with positivism and reassurance until it’s more sunny.

Every time AT&T sends email pushing “giga” in my central metro neighborhood: 🤣🤣🤣

Is 10¢ rounding too much? As long as they’re taking unusable coins out of circulation, finish the job?
