Shipped a thing! triage.syn.horse My memory is terrible. Pathologically bad (syn.as/sdam). So I capture everything into Linear, in Triage by default. This tool makes it easy to go through the triage queue on a phone. It's all client-side - you need an API key, but it never leaves your browser.

Does anyone else have this when grocery shopping? An inability to buy ONE of anything? It always feels more comfortable to buy two, and it feels actively worrisome - for some reason - to buy one. Brains, man. Wonk.

Today in things I was wrong about & you should understand: AI does use water in a wasteful way. What should happen: closed loop cooling. Take water, run it through heat exchangers, evaporate it, condense it, return it to the pool, run it through heat exchangers, evaporate it, repeat forever. 🧵 1/2

PROTIP: if you have a lot of small files you want to put in cloud storage on a Mac, use iCloud. It handles it like a champ. What I WANT to use is Dropbox, so it's not tied to an ecosystem, but Dropbox absolutely chokes with lots of small files. Really badly. Which is why I'm having an rclone party.

I managed to delete the secret key material for my GPG key. Well, piss. Let me tell you about revocation certificates. This doesn't contain your secret keys, but can be used to revoke the key. I had one, and thus it was easy to revoke the key and generate a new one. Generate one. Trust me.

The worst thing about a nut shot is that in the instant of it, nothing happens. You have a brief window where you know what's coming, you know how bad it's going to be, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Then someone spends the next five minutes inflating a balloon in your abdomen.

"Name one school district." "Name one school." This is what you say to every single person who makes this obviously idiotic, bogus claim. You place the burden of proving it on them, and when they can't, you tell them they're full of shit and you're done with them.

The biggest con in the world outside the White House is delivery companies' "leave in a safe place" feature. It's not about making things more convenient for you. You essentially sign away all rights to complain about the state or loss of your parcel when you choose it. Watch the fine print.

It should be obvious, but if you're considering an XTEINK e-reader, the X4 Pro is the way to go. Other than the backlight, while they don't discuss the spec, the X4 Pro is an ESP32-S3 while the older devices are ESP32-C3. The big difference is the PSRAM; the older devices choked on large books.
