Last Notes npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ @nprofile…tkx6 that’s what you get when you do that stupid stutter step npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ Got a #RIF notice today from our CEO. She’s reorg-ing the whole damn company and making everyone reapply for a shallower pool of jobs. Either reapply & be selected, or be RIF’ed effective 8/1.

It’s not a solution for everyone and certainly shouldn’t be needed, but it does work. npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ lol I forgot I changed my name in the #Ring app. #FuckBezos https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/116/312/590/311/291/100/original/c6e8b7af16936b90.jpeg npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ Aaaaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh #Dexcom WHY DO YOU GO TO SHIT ON THE 8TH DAY EVERY GD TIME #T1D #Type1Diabetes #Diabetes #DiabeticProblems https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/115/945/004/474/999/628/original/1a56b4a335010699.jpeg https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/115/945/004/950/049/011/original/7457d83f55ec8740.jpeg npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ Stop.

I’d been eating mine regularly the last few years but this year my stomach decided it can’t tolerate the jalapeños anymore 😢 Seems to tolerate the hot sauce though 🤷♂️ npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ @nprofile…fult yum! I made hot sauce with mine! npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ @nprofile…0qm5 yeah that bridge is burnt, and over such a stupid thing that could have easily been avoided. https://toot.community/@VTDARKSIM/115295706033499581 npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ @nprofile…0qm5 indeed. Local ordinances permit you to trim a neighbor’s tree up to the property line, which he exceeded by a foot or two. But it’s not worth litigating. Even so, he should have mentioned it. It’s so much worse just discovering it on your own. As for the #tulip tree, not sure how he thinks this was on his side or hanging over his fence, but the damage is done. https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/115/295/660/346/784/636/original/8ff9e10ce70b9686.jpeg https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/115/295/665/112/985/589/original/355cdef5c58b8b5e.jpeg npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ So my neighbor is an asshole. #neighbor #nextdoor #tree #garden #gardening https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/115/295/414/641/024/227/original/5194b3a4f13ccea5.jpeg npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ #GeorgiaTech just sent an email out saying our cloud storage is being reduced to 50GB per user. From 5TB. A 99% reduction in storage space. For an analytics program that relies heavily on large datasets. 99%!

I am running #ProtonVPN & #AdGuard on my home router; I think I’m generally good there but I’ll double check the AdGuard DNS servers to be sure. My mobile devices have #VPN on at all times. npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ @nprofile…2s4u I’m mostly off Google products at this point but you bring up an aspect I hadn’t considered. I haven’t really tooled around in that area… any recommendations for a better option for DNS? Pretty sure I can figure out how to do that on my home router; not as familiar with how to change that on my mobile devices. npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ Anyone used #Friendica? My wife @redbunhead.bsky.social discovered it when I told her about #Pixelfed. I left #Facebook ~8yr ago & then #twitter for #mastodon. She’s on #FB & #Instagram & is exploring #BlueSky. We both just joined #Substack. We’re looking for good decentralized social networks that aren’t owned by billionaires. I miss the FB feel sometimes, so any info on Friendica is appreciated. Wife would also appreciate tips on choosing a Pixelfed server. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendica npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ I'll get a ton of #Python this semester. In the meantime I'm trying to get #ChatGPT to help me w/ some coding for a personal project of mine that is well beyond my expertise at this point. Unfortunately, it is pretty stupid & can't remember more than a few things at once, constantly forgetting specifications & overwriting good code w/ bad. I feel like I'm herding cats, trying to keep it on track. Yes I will do this myself when I am skilled enough, but any ChatGPT alternatives until then? npub1036pxcjyggvdcy068a603fh8rf4u2628xuz8rtwczsl5a2n46jsqzfn8eg Chris Geoghooligan ✊ The top 4 richest Americans are now worth a combined $1T. The top 3 own more than the lowest 50%, & the top 1% more than the bottom 92%. We must invert our perspective & stop viewing billionaires at the top. Money trickles down as Reagan proposed, but it trickles down to the scumbags at the bottom willing to exploit labor & abuse the law. It only stays at the top - with the working class - with rules, regulations, & social programs meant to foster & sustain economic parity. #uspol #capitalism
