OK #hugops to the MTA TrainTime team this December 1st when everyone’s monthly pass expires.

Props to the delivery van driver blasting REM at 8 in the morning in the middle of the city.

While I'm thinking about work, a piece of advice for startups thinking about security: fix your project management and roadmapping process before/at the same time as bringing someone in to help with security, especially if that person is not getting put in as a peer to the CTO with the swing to […]

I'm exploring setting up a persistent linux place for me and I just found https://rootloops.sh/ and it's the kind of silly I love

Since this seems to come up a lot, especially now with Windows being replaced by Copilot and Tim Apple being a frequent guest at the White House, I thought I'd write up my quick and objective guide to choosing Linux distros: I just want something stable and easy to install that's still being […]

Oh dip #proxmox can now import docker into lxc containers!

I took some photos on the train this morning.

Listen I’m sure Adam’s farms is great but I can think of a lot of things that top stock photo pizza

Strength, Utility and Delight as three pillars of design is kinda a nice framework. (More or less according to an old roman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmness,_commodity,_and_delight)

After building a small tool with JMAP I can say that I like it as an API. I've never worked with IMAP so I don't know how much has held over, but I found the docs, and concepts quite straightforward. #jmap

Windows 3.1 on the gameboy color review https://retrododo.com/gbs-windows-review/

I’ve had a really wild ride emotionally this past week and it’s probably due to the changing of the season and the amount of direct sunlight I get. That didnlt make any sense to me a few days ago but it’s clear as daylight to me now. So if you’re feeling worse than usual, try to get sun in your […]

Tailscale identity on network connections :kirby: https://tailscale.com/blog/building-tsidp I mean the connection is backed by a peer to peer vpn so that makes sense I suppose. I’m still a little flabergasted.

#til about Jean Giraud "Moebius" an artist who obviously influenced me and I didn't even know it https://www.thecollector.com/moebius-artist-pushed-boundaries-our-imagination/

If your big tent includes fascists, then it doesn’t include many many more people.

It looks like @gvy_dvpont does it again (4 years ago) with a T9 keyboard that’s actually pretty useful. Well maybe not the rotary version.. https://youtu.be/6cbBSEbwLUI

so maybe when making Instructions, show the valves you need to turn off BEFORE the part you need to remove! The next page is not acceptable or helpful, god dammit! Thankfully the "server wall" stayed dry and the 3dprinter only got lightly splashed. I still have a lot to clean up but thankfully […]

Why does my Prusa have to cool down to level the bed? Makes small back to back #3dprints take forever 🫠

A friend wants to get a doorbell camera so they can tell if ice is about in their building (founded concern) needs a safe cloud hosted option. Anyone have any recommendations?

The “soft singularity” or as I’d call it “the cozy singularity” https://bitbang.social/@NanoRaptor/115275402545184801

I've moved to fastmail for my email and it's fantastic (and also fast!) but I'm not enjoying apple mail on the mac, on ios it's fine, but on the mac, the backspace key is "delete" not archive and all the keyboard shortcuts are wrong (for me). So I have to ask; What's a good osx email client? […]

The fine people at @panic have created what I can only describe as “Alien Public Access TV: The Game” they call it Blippo+ https://blippo.plus This looks enjoyable to me.

Foone is a treasure that I’m better off for following. If you enjoy learning from reasonable people sharing their passions to make stuff who are actually pretty nice, then check them out, and consider helping them out. https://digipres.club/@foone/115289601022332947

Robby Duguay has done it again! Virtual Space Lord is exactly the right amount of neon vector video game music that I desire. https://robbyduguay.bandcamp.com/album/virtual-space-lord #neonvector #allgenresaremadeup #youknowehatthissoundslikewithoutmeexplainingthenameimadeup

I’m a CTO as a small business (legally defined as less than 500 employees) and AI has come up a lot with our clients and we wanted a real answer to tell them. So we started testing tools. I’m very mad at “ai” the industry, you know why, I quit my last job over it. So to say I’m skeptical by […]

The Onion on point with their fake ads this month.

Where do people get news these day? I’ve bailed on all forms of media and I’m looking for a little more than a single person but a little less than a billionaires propaganda machine. I’d pay for it.

I got a crypto recruiter reaching out to me and for the first time it was for cryptography!

https://pyodide.org is a Python distribution for the browser that is so freaking cool https://marimo.io/ uses it to export python notebooks to stand alone html files that you can share around!

nobody designed a diy daisywheel printer yet?!

I mean the fact that Dade can come back from a 7 year computer hiatus that started when he was 11 years old just shows how good he is.

#enshittification Next month, Microsoft will begin automatically installing the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on Windows devices outside of the EEA region that have the Microsoft 365 desktop client apps, Bleeping Computer writes. "The Microsoft 365 Copilot app integrates the AI-powered Copilot […]

I'm scared to run external services that I didn't write myself, or that I did. I just don't like running external services.

if your avatar looks like a friends avatar I'll probably think you're that person for wayyy to long

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door. Source code and a downloadable app to try it yourself […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

Recently there has been a lot of discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol which has been quite dividing and heated. Yesterday at the Social Web CG meeting (the group that maintains the ActivityPub and related specifications), I proposed releasing a statement that counters the narrative that […]

I wish #jellyfin let me save videos to my phone. The signal during my commute is not enough to consistently stream. 🙃
