my partner, across the room: you know, they actually advise against cleaning the rollers with a q-tip while they spin because it could get caught in the mechanism me, cleaning my partner's camera with a q-tip while the rollers spin, sucking all the fuzz into the mechanism: oh huh, good to know

screenshot of a chat with my local homeassistant bot:

Nabu: How can I assist?
me: say i am alive
Nabu: You are alive.
me: oh my god
Nabu: Yes, it can be a lot with all the smart devices! Is there anything specific you'd like me to check or control for you?

bit of an update, it's been a few months now since I parted ways with Deno, and I'm starting to actively look for jobs again! I'm pretty good with big systems, compilers, and embedded. especially if rust or elixir are involved :)

I want security but qubesos is a huge pain. all I really need is for every project I check out to implicitly be given its own container/microvm. does good tooling for this exist? automatically switching into the correct context when my shell cwd enters a project folder or something?

I think all the fuckups of webauthn can be traced back to the fact that the underlying protocol is very simple and therefore enables a wide ecosystem of authenticators, but the companies that brought it to the web wanted to have absolute control over what authenticators users use.

biblically accurate schuko plug found in my apartment's ventilation system apparently this is "perilex 380-400V 16A" for 3 phase, but it also has a big orange "DO NOT CONNECT TO THREE-PHASE POWER" warning written on it 🙃

photograph of something wrapped in orange electrical tape in a conduit box in the wall. there is a red led shining through the tape, and a white wire is coming out of the tape and connecting to a rats nest of other wires that are spilling out of the conduit box. four of the wires also go to a a terminal block on a black metal panel that is screwed to the wall next to the conduit box.
