🖕 my home server disagrees 🏴‍☠️

Also, massive security surfaces.

Any music producer is familiar with 3rd party license managers like ilok that make you use their Shit-ass electron application that gets an update once every few years.

Discoverability issues as per yesterdays search giants methods of crawling the web.

It’s quite clear that companies like Google and Microsoft are vulnerable in the search game right now.

I mean in the end you’re probably right, but if there were ever a time for a well-funded group to take aim at the suddenly low barriered entry, I think this is probably Custer’s last stand.

Their procurement policy is basically “has it been recommended? Is anyone else using it? Is it cheap?”

I work in public sector.

Market to tax funded institutions. If you can market “self hosted” as cheaper and easier than mother solutions you’ll have guaranteed clients for a long time.

Ubuntu is a good idea to get the new one of the best ones in the world and the other one is a little bit of a lot of people who are like a lot of people who are like that and I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do with it but I think they are going to be a good day to go to the store.

Smells like toast.

I’ll catch downvotes, whatever.

Is there too much hype in the AI space? Yes. Is it still absolutely incredible, the advancements we’ve made since 4chan made gpt2 racist?

We got LLMs that can one-shot code up simple games like snake and minesweeper. I can throw 12 pdfs at a single prompt and ask which of them talks about an idea that might not be explicitly mentioned in any of them and not only can it identify it, it can summarize it and expand on it.

Am I sick of seeing it shoved into everything? Yes. Is it basically magic? Also yes.

That’s why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.

I should probably scrape the top 250 from this past year from my favorite 20 or so subs manually or find some automated way that still works 🤔

This is the way.

If they paywall their porn, the site tumblrs off a cliff.

Yeah except I obfuscated details, so Tom M is never gonna get it, because we actually grew up in VT.

This is also inaccurate. 😁

I knew a kid in elementary school, let’s call him Brian S. He moved away in the 5th grade. Bye Brian 😢

6th grade. Spring vacation. My family drives us down to visit an aunt from upstate NY, down in North Carolina.

We have our vacation. It’s now the following Saturday. We’re driving home. We stop at a rest area on 95. I see Brian S and his family just walking from their car to the rest area. Same time as us.

We stop and chat for a few mins. It’s the 90s so we can’t like trade cell phone numbers or anything. I don’t even think we had regular instant messaging screen names yet.

Last I ever saw Brian S.

It does achieve it, as mayonnaise is emulsified.

Aioli, by definition, is ‘garlic and oil’.

Mayonnaise, by definition, is ‘egg yolks, beaten with oil.’

Mayonnaise and garlic is therefore, by culinary definition, aioli.

I invite you to ask any French chef.

Mayo.

Maybe add some garlic, and bam:

Aioli.

These days id prefer a developer produce negative lines of code without breaking anything.

I can stream it from my media server through steam connect, but I wouldnt recommend it.

Okay fine I’ll play city skylines

I’m 36.

Do yourself a favor. Dont drink alone.

Sound like a tall order? Work on that. Your liver is important. You’ll be alone a lot. You get in that habit now, it’ll be with you when you’re 40, and your liver will not be a fan.

“Work on that” what do you mean?!? – you get home from a shit day at work, or you stop at a bar on the way home. You get drunk to numb the calcified agony of the working life. – that’s what I mean. There are other ways to numb thatee less maladaptive, they just take more effort and take affect less quickly. Move toward it for me tak health.

Do you spend hours on the couch scrolling on your phone? Try to go on a 2 mile walk every day. 4 is even better. Your heart will thank you. Your hips, knees and ankles will thank you. Listen to a podcast. You can still binge content, just… Get your body moving. And get your eyes to focus on the horizon every now and then. It’s good for your eyesight long term.

Get yourself out of breath, heart racing from pushing yourself physically at least once a week. Preferably nearly every day.

Take up an artistic hobby. Write bad poems. Write bad stories. Write bad songs. Draw dumb cartoons. Draw bad portraits. Sing your best, but sing. Dance.

Stretch.

Brush your teeth twice a day.

Floss.

Do planks.

Side planks too.

Drink water.

You should be able to do 20 pushups.

You should be able to touch your toes.

Sprint as far as you can at least once a month.

Just don’t get complacent being complacent.

Invest $1 for every $1 you put in a savings account. Put $1 into a retirement fund for every $1 you put in that savings acct too. Oh, and $1 in a Roth IRA at the same rate.

Got an extra $100? $25 to savings $25 to investing, $25 to Roth, $25 to 401k.

Do that til your savings ~= 6 months living expenses. Then stop that fund and split it 3 ways for investing, retirement, retirement.

Use your investment (and if things go south, savings) for a down payment on a house to minimize your mortgage.

Edit: in debt? Have more than 1 source of debt? Focus on the biggest one. If you can make minimum payments on all and have money leftover it goes to the largest debt/worst interest. Pay em off one at a time til your chins above water.
