Listening to a drunk patron butchering a recipe for an old fashioned. I am not about to be the “actually” guy, so you all have to suffer my inner rage.

Fully migrated Home Assistant to a new proxmox VM on a short lunch break. Next up, find an APC data cable and setup UPS safe shutdown. What are the odds I didn’t throw that away years ago?

Imma go the other way on a few things. Apple’s 26 line has many wonderful improvements for me in QOL that get brushed aside in all the criticism. I’m not mounting a defense here. There is plenty of cringe. I just want to acknowledge it’s not all bad.

Not even a full 24 hours into proxmox and already getting connection reset issues that come and go intermittently. I’m starting to suspect my shitty mesh router.

Saw my first citation for ChatGPT as a source in some training material. Am I the only one who finds that problematic?

In anticipation of my new (to me) Wyse 5070 being delivered, I’m contemplating what flavor of *nix I want to load up to a flash drive. Very much used to debian distros, but open to suggestions.

Why do I constantly insist on using old laptops to run things like home automation? Ask me how reliable they’ve been.

A few years ago during the Google Apps debacle, I created a Zoho account on one of my domains before Google reversed the decision to end free-for-life. Yesterday I discovered Zoho has an invoices feature to help me track a few odd jobs. Pretty sweet for $36/year.

That is ABSURDLY stupid. You cannot seriously believe that pausing on-call during a highly uncertain and alarming transitionary period is a good idea.

How do you reconcile admiration for a person or their work who later become absolute dirt bags, or fundamentally violate a core value of yours. Don’t worship your heroes. They will let you down.
