Last Notes npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann I am getting closer to the point where I’ll write my blog posts in HTML instead of mixing html and markdown. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann A bit late but I found some month appropriate, horse themed decoration for @nprofile…7cv9 :) npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann First yt-dlp, now Electrobun. And a bunch of AI bros confused, kicking and screaming. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…hl5m a friend of mine just got one of those little router PCs off AliExpress with an N5105. He set up OPnsense himself and is good with 1000/500, a bunch of firewall rules but mentioned WireGuard seems slow. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…5qc7 1. That’s very fair. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…5qc7 As I’m not a regular on the Discord server I don’t feel strongly about any option, but three thoughts. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann it's been a long time that I've seen this screen. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…x4wz we migrated our company and friends and family there from Matrix about a year ago and it’s been a pleasure. Not a single issue. Self hosted relay. By now 31 users. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…8ffl IIRC it shouldn’t be down to the play store. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann What are we using these days as bare metal hypervisor for Windows, Linux and BSD guests? npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…ss2n I would even be comfortable with ssh and rsync, but I have some non technical users, so proper file browser integration etc is a requirement. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann So far self hosting the #Syncthing discovery server and relay doesn’t go well. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…x759 @nprofile…t4qe I’ve setup a few geo blocks for sites. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…t4qe does it count if I move decommissioned hardware from my company rack one to left to the private rack? :D npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…h9qy looking good! npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann The whole “AI is causing an education crisis” argument feels very familiar. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann Just a friendly reminder that 54 people with 18 completing the last session is not statistically relevant. At best we can call it interesting enough and require further research. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann “The maxed out MacStudio is a pretty good value for working with LLMs.” npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…typy yes, Linkwarden supports multiple formats including “readable”. (They can be turned of) npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…typy If you don’t care about the social features I can recommend Linkwarden. (I’m running self hosted, not cloud) https://linkwarden.app npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann The more I look into MCPs as they are being build right now the more it reminds me of the time people thought giving everyone a user on a production database for queries was a good idea. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann One week ago we migrated 21 people from Matrix to @nprofile…g4yp and it has been a pretty good experience. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann We are testing #deltachat with 8 users since Friday with a self hosted server. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann [Salty rant incoming] npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…m624 there was something wrong with external SSO for a long time so I had a different calendar on two iOS and two macOS devices. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…m624 my favourite bug that this brought us is that outlook logs me out of the web interface every few hours telling me “your account is locked” till I hit refresh and authenticate via SSO again. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann A surprising amount of realism and honesty considering the amount of money they got in the game and the hype they tried to produce. #llm npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann “It wasn’t foreseeable that Cryptocurrencies are a scam” npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann Construction now cut our neighbors Internet cable. They are on a roll. Two times Internet, one time power within three weeks. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…m624 it feels like Django and Rails sit right in the middle between two generations. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…h9qy why is their browser relevant when it comes to search? npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…t4qe we are planning to go live with a non profit project hopefully providing financial aid to organisations supporting children and animals. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…m624 I enjoy it far more than Overwatch and I was playing since OW beta and got about 4000 hours in the game. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann Marvel Rivals on Linux runs about 40-50fps slower than in Windows 11. It seems mostly CPU bound. And the last update on January 8th was a dumpster fire on Linux. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann I didn’t have “anime waifu jail” being one of the first commercial products that actually seem to be designed to respect a users privacy and allow local LLMs to be used on my bingo card for 2025… #llm #ai npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann Sigh. My oldest friend convinced me to finally build a keyboard… this will be expensive, tedious and I’ll have to remember how to solder. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…t4qe @nprofile…73zh also display nicely in Ivory on iOS :) lovely! npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…32kp the reason I’m asking is Mastodons design around what people consider a direct message and what I’ve seen the expectation for these messages is. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…32kp the read permission will always be required I assume? npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @nprofile…74gf I actually found some pretty good blogs reading through uses.tech and usesthis. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann New article kicking off a small series of posts talking about self hosting authoritative DNS and building a small CDN. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann The new iPads look like a pretty good upgrade, especially the display. But we are five or six years in and Apple still refuses to fix the software side to make them actually useful but for some niche application :/ npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann I’m testing some widgets on my iPad and there are some I really like. But the iBooks one is… confused. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann Bubble Tea for #golang is the first TUI library I touched that doesn’t make me regret writing a TUI. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @npub1wfj…2ewz I see. That sounds like a wild and disruptive concept. I wonder if any VC or PE is interested in funding development in this area. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @npub1wfj…2ewz “real economy”? I think that’s the thing VCs warned me about *scnr* npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @npub198t…hasj Infuse - just tested with AirPods Pro. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @npub19lt…qfjk not sure about the conversion rate but in the ballpark - Stardew Valley absolutely favourite for some casual gaming in the go :) npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @npub19lt…qfjk not sure if this is known or makes any sense, but I’m seeing this toot without following @npub1xa9…7m7p - afaik if I don’t follow the mentioned account this shouldn’t show in my timeline (if the toot begins with @)? npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann One day I’ll write a book „how to build scalable system for the 95%“. npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @npub18yv…xxyn and if they run into you you’ll likely not even notice while their car is severely damaged - these old Mercs were tanks :) npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @npub198t…hasj @npub14cd…zqep oh I absolutely agree. But I don’t think we can roll back most of the laws written because people were upset with five companies.:/ npub1dev6e64lanmeaj8gzg5t2gldnvvda0cju80lug6fnlrcre3fq5rse7nj0z Timo Zimmermann @npub14cd…zqep @npub198t…hasj I understand where you are coming from with this, but I’m okay with the stupid IP blocks companies use to comply with regulations and laws considering alternatives.
