Ooohhhhh! Yes, I want to see how much more I can squeeze out of pipewire jack interface and real time guitar effects. (It's already crazy low and effectively real time as far as I can tell)

Do you think there are already some official DoD risk assessment documents that mention targeted attacks on us-east-1?

Sigh, the pile on is so stupid there. I'm surprised it's not locked yet. I've been fighting stdarg.h not being found on MacOS/clang this week. It's not like it's this compiler's issue specifically.

Alternatively, I realised most of my office usage is just muscle memory. What I really wanted and migrated to is self hosted:
- Obsidian for notes / graphs
- Paperless-ngx as a paperwork interface
- Grist as a simple database / what lots of Excel usage should've been
Maybe there's some similar/different set of more specific tools you wanna use?

Do you want to not use Google docs, or any cloud solution at all? If you want something online, Zoho has a good office suite. Otherwise, Libre Office is still the least bad one.

Have you seen more context around it? I tried to dig in but I can't tell if it's a "interface exposed to public internet" situation, or a "password on a monitoring console in a locked security room" situation. Is it a massive problem or a meh?

Give it some time... I'm on the 3rd pair of wireless headphones that died (currently the right one just plays ticking instead of sounds; waiting to get home to replace them). My wired earbuds went through the wash 3 times, lost all colour, have cracked plastic, but 15 years and they still work! (I'm using them for work calls because macos is artificially restricted from good sound codecs and switches to weird mono during conferences over Bluetooth)

I hated the recent migration partially because of the screens/icons not transferring properly. (At all) Moved to Nova launcher when and the last migration was perfect - it was all restored without issues. Worth the time investment IMO if you're already setting up something new.

there are some true believers - for example Farcaster has a genuine community. But I think mostly it's been people pushing grift. I moderated a crypto-adjacent discord and basically could see two groups: people doing interesting work and people promoting whatever happened to be popular/profitable, scam or not. There was so much more of the second group - they're probably off to the new things now.

nobody seems to have blogged about the exact thing. But Claude knows exactly what I meant - this looks decent: "Step by step how to setup FTP upload in git post commit hook, in a shell script, with a system notification on success/failure. Only active on main branch. Ignore files not committed to the repo."

2025-06-29 13:07:37 GMT

- reply

pipe success/fail to a system notification popup? Partial failures could always get wiped/overwritten manually.

2025-06-29 12:55:35 GMT

there's post-commit hook in git. You could check if you're on main and put an FTP upload in a background process?

president Camacho not only ran a program to find the smartest people, even including prisoners, but also peacefully handed over the power to the smartest one. We'd be lucky to have Camacho replace the orange one.

you can setup your own Grafana instance and/or discard the IP/login from the data. The performance data doesn't have to include any common "tracking".
It's one of the best things you can start using for debugging weird issues for some random segment of real users. Yes, I'm pushy - it saved my butt so many times already.

2024-12-11 10:22:57 GMT

I recommend Grafana faro, datadog, or any other RUM plugin which can give you the client side resource tree and timing (and js errors) as seen by real world people. It's super helpful for situations like this.

yeah, it's an ADHD thing. On the wiki already https://romankogan.net/adhd/#Delayed%20Sleep%20Phase
I remember dr K explaining exactly why that one happens, but couldn't tell you which video it was. As far as I remember it's basically some level of tiredness working against the common ADHD symptoms.

not sure if it is a satisfying or happy ending, but it's an interesting one. and it's definitely not just a continuous descent into grim, if you're worried about that. it goes... sideways rather than down later on.

When compared to free stock images, I don't see the difference. If one works better than the other for some use case, then no judgement from me. As long as it's good quality anyway - both low quality stock and genai are sad.
