And in today's baby-sysadmin/homelab adventures: tailscale is indeed extremely easy to use and really just worked. Goal is to eventually move to bare wireguard when I learn more, but dang if this wasn't a good first experience.

How’d you cut them? I usually dip a pint glass in flour for round biscuits and they topple over and I love them. Squares would be way more efficient though.

Immich is such a great intro to self hosting. Their docs are fairly straightforward, I don’t think I did much of anything to customize the docker install other than throttling the ML container resources because it’s running on a 4Gb Raspberry pi 4. The mobile app is also excellent for casual backup.

The short answer is “yes”. Especially if you’re willing to build it up to what you want. I haven’t even touched the new “bases” features but my understanding is it pretty much puts it on par with what folks like about Notion.

Wasn't successful in my first IT interview, so I'm labbing hard at home and going to make one of these interviews stick soon. If you are looking for an experienced communicator, fast learner, knowledgeable nerd/developer/tech support guy, please reach out. I'd love to chat about how I can help.

You’ve been like 9 hours ahead of me for this entire todoist saga. I’ll just start looking for your commentary before the emails, should save me literally minutes of my time going forward. 🫡

I stopped using most meta products, but I get 1-3 emails a day about someone trying to reset the password in my instagram account. If there’s one thing I’d teach the youths it would be the internet doesn’t just remember the embarrassing things, it makes you have to defend

Remento has been invaluable for documenting my dad's life while he's still able to recall the details. I know it'll be a wonderful gift to our family, including him, eventually.

Having to tighten the belt with subscriptions now that we're down to one income (I'm available for ericraslich.com/hire/! Put me at your help desk!) I absolutely cannot budget for DOUBLE the price for Todoist. Really grateful they're keeping the Legacy Pro pricing for now. But wow $60/year is a lot.

So that's a bad example of personal surveillance, but yeah it seems like you can't just make a better todo list, you have to then use that data to help a bigger fish eat your customers.

Every time I hear a pitch on the podcast..."The Pitch" it's something like "we'll help hotels know when the room cleaning staff are out of toilet paper sooner!" and also we will act as the middleman to take a cut of that transaction and create a third party market for rooms that are ready early, etc

Gonna be interesting to see what happens when this tech is deployed in countries more ready to cause disruption over disparity and corruption. Our titans of industry in america are truly out of touch with what the day to day is like for most people here, but lucky for them we are truly complacent.

Really love the random quotes on the @adafruit.com website. Haven't gotten one that didn't seem curated for shoppers like myself.

For a lot of stuff like don’t rob or kill each other, but I don’t think enough people run into first amendment issues in their day to day life (yet!) that even the Kimmel thing is flexible depending on how aligned to the party with power you think you are.

I agree with you and OP, but I think a complicating factor is that principles are weaker now so “it’s illegal” and “it’s a stupid law” are concurrent beliefs when it goes against what someone wants reality to be in that particular moment.

I think the ethical responsibility is to understand your usage of AI and ensure it is bettering yourself and society. That last sentence is kind of confusingly written, but all of those bulleted questions seem to be the opposite of what you're claiming it says.

I'm thinking @livestore.dev might be something I want to try for a little @nuxt.com app. Does anyone know of an example repo I could check out for inspiration? I think the todo app might get me pretty far, but it's the Nuxt integration I'm curious about.

You are going to drive the prices up for all the cool things I've been learning about but have been too poor to try out yet. Mostly kidding... The fun thing I've learned about radio so far is some really barebones pieces of electronics can get you pretty far. It just doesn't get you very *good*.

We’re beginners ever helpful contributing to open source? Maybe im too cynical but aside from docs, most open source contribution isn’t for web developers, it’s for software engineers. If I could meaningfully contribute to Vue, I don’t think I’d be building front ends hah.

My last flight experience it differed by *line* in the airport. And we were flying with a kid in a stroller so they had us cut everyone, then just let us flounder around with no further direction. Where am I taking this stroller? Does this come out? Do I take it apart? Baby through X-ray? Hold them?

I wish the idea of crypto wasn’t so tainted in web dev circles. Brave’s basic attention token is a good idea, the “monetary policy” of a token that’s not a primitive like ethereum is just bad. I’d gladly accept browser level ads and profiling over every sites particular shitty ad implementation.

I’m not convinced that’s not a bot… what real person would write a bio like that? Basically all blue anon retweets? It screams “follow for follow” accumulator account trying to cut you down and convince others it’s from a “left” perspective.

I always hear that “whales” keep the game profitable, but man I am just so skeptical that they haven’t somehow milked all the addicts dry by now. Unless you can reskin a puzzle game so cheaply and addict enough finance bros that the business model is sustainable???

When I heard her on pod save American I thought “hell yes”. Then when she, with all of her supposed intel bonafides, voted to confirm *any* of the unqualified cabinet members but especially ones involving intel and security, I lost a ton of faith. Not sure what she actually stands for anymore.

Was arguing to wife thatwith the EV infrastructure investment from last admin we could swing a ford lightning even with a hurricane evacuation, that it’d be a good investment the other 99% of time. This really sets that purchase back.

I love how *practical* the content you brought to @syntax.fm is. Not that their demos weren’t always good, but these longform videos dealing with detailed topics are so so good. And I’m biased but very excited for more vue and nuxt content. Thank you!

Definitely experienced the same thing. I got into ham radio recently and if you want a topic that’ll send you right into prepper/antigovernment hell, that’s it. Also the new backpack -> EDC -> militia pipeline is way too short.
