  Spending 2 weeks with my mom literally destroys me for a month.

  Just grabbed a cheapish rowing machine online. Can't stay healthy doing any of my normal routines at this point. Have to remove basically all impact from my workouts unfortunately. At least for now. Its a weird spiral. I've been injured so much and so frequently in the past 3 years or so that I'm now more prone to injury. It's awful.

  I can't wait to finally see Backrooms in theaters even if a part of me wishes we just got another "Found Footage" installment on Youtube instead.

  This is frustrating. I built extensive monitoring and alerting procedures for the majority of our data platform. So today we got a slew of failures overnight. Everyone scrambles to figure out the issues and do nothing but spin out with zero clue what’s happening. Every single member of the team has put a rule on the alerts so they never see them. Then when issues come up if Claude can’t fix it for them they have no idea because they aren’t looking at the alerts that tell them exactly what...

  Snowflake doesn't do anything a well designed and provisioned postgresql database doesn't do. As a platform its such a gigantic waste of money and resources.

  I'm going to hazard a guess that all that HA/DR infrastructure I've built over the past year is going to all be rolled back to save money any week now.

  Happy league launch day to all who observe. Remember kids the people that tell you to follow a build guide make money from providing build guides. #poe #poe2 #pathofexile #pathofexile2 #gaming

  If you run your Google searches through DuckDuckGo Google's results are still substantially better than DuckDuckGo's Bing fed results once you scroll down to the actual links. #google #duckduckgo #bing

  I want to be inside the brain of someone who’s so gadget brained they are excited about Microsoft hardware announcements. Like wtf is wrong with you that it all doesn’t send you running away screaming?

  @mttaggart@infosec.exchange Seeing the absolute shit shoveling going on that counts for producing content at Ars over the past well...10-15 years at this point... I'm not sure anyone should be following them let alone paying them subscription money. That they are now using AI to write their articles is the least surprising thing ever. What a catastrophic fall from grace.

  I've been told that I'll be required to return to the office several days a week starting this month. I have a vulnerable partner who would likely not survive #covid. I am fighting this but it would be irresponsible of me to not start interviewing. If you have a remote data engineering or architect opportunity, preferably Senior to Principal level, I can provide my resume. I have a ton of #Snowflake and #SQLServer experience as well as over a decade building in #AWS. #fedihire...

  RE: https://twitter.com/Chiefs/status/2047817247650189496 Are they mean-mugging or did they get a look at what has been reviewed as the worst locker room and facilities in the league and realize they had it better in college?

  roughly $1300 to resurrect my behemoth server and get it into the rack. Not sure I want to do that just yet. Rack mount cases are so expensive. And so are PSUs that can run multiple GPUs.

  @jarinks Why on earth do you care what services I choose to host? I've been building software since the late 1990s. I don't need anyone on Mastodon to explain how things work to me. Matrix doesn't meet the standards for usability with the users I'm trying to off-board from Discord. End of story. I'm not paying money for hosting this every month to have nobody use it.

  Wait the Allbirds AI pivot is even more stupid than it seems on the surface. They want to sell GPU compute now instead of shoes. #allbirds

  After running TrueNas for a while now I'm considering only using it for storage going forward. I think I'd rather have something else running Proxmox or maybe just Debian with some containers running all my home hosted stuff. Maybe do a 40gb DAS setup between the app server and storage. I am not a fan of the "app store" model for maintaining external services. In TrueNas they're frequently several versions behind and I can set up this stuff myself with...

  @paninid@mastodon.world I'd seriously take a Hong Kong remake of Blues Brothers. Can you imagine how insane the car chase in the mall would be?

  They're spending thousands on Macs at work to run OpenClaw with cloud models. I feel like I'm going crazy. You buy the unified memory Macs to run OpenClaw on local models. Does literally nobody understand how this shit works? #openclaw

  I’m blocking every area code that I get a spam call from that I don’t know anyone in. Since I started doing this I’m now seeing many more area codes coming in with spam calls. I will continue blocking them. I am curious how far I will have to go. #spam

  I don’t have high hopes for Star Trek post Ellison takeover but I hope Paramount gives the franchise a rest for a few years after SNW and SA finish digging the grave for this iteration of Star Trek. That new Voyager video game is great though. #startrek #starfleetacademy #StrangeNewWorlds #startrekvoyager

  The signup workflow for my Matrix instance is giving even my more technically adept friends issues. I shouldn’t have to also host a wiki for people that work with technology to be able to use my instance. That and the fact that Matrix was born out of the IDF have just soured me on the whole thing. I’m probably going to scrap it and give Fluxer a try next. #matrix #fluxer #discord

  I finally fixed the weird networking issues keeping me from hitting the miniPC in my mom’s house. I want to use it as a web server since it’s sitting on a 1GB fiber line that’s only used when I’m visiting.

  @User47@vmst.io oh for sure. I just want to point out there's like real accessibility things that LLMs can address. And hardware is my hobby so I don't need much motivation to build new systems hah.
