My ongoing quest to self host, I finally added freshrss and capyreader to the services in my home lab. So far immich, gitea, paperless and calibre-web are the ones I've discovered through friends and mentions in various articles. What all are people out there using?

Sony PS Portal update for 4.00 to 4.01 caused the device to soft brick. This is probably the last time I will ever give money to Sony for a portable device. The experience has been shoddy at best. @playstation.com

I started using futo on Android and it was pretty good but somehow it was always a bit off until @em.vg showed me how to turn off key borders and I turned off arrows. Now it feels great. Just like gboard without the spyware.

I spent my family holiday reading Redshirt's, Old-Man's War, Ghost Brigade and The Last Colony. A very pleasant way to pass the time. Scalzi really is a entertaining author.

Just finished printing a custom mister pi case by @retrofrog.bsky.social It came out absolutely beautifully after a couple of tries. Galactic purple PETG by protopasta. My first time using one of their metallic filaments.

Multi day power outages really suck. I'm seriously getting a generator now.

Grinding leetcode while babysitting a bad spool of filament. So far I'm loving the Bambu A1, the most reliable printer I've ever used.

As you grow older you spend more time doing maintenance than the things you find fun.

Loving the bambulabs A1 experience. I hadn't used it for a couple of days. Powered on. Test print. Now I'm printing a plate of the same model. No recalibration. No setup. Just works. Magic.

A bambu labs A1 arrived today. Self calibration is based. Most impressive moment so far, it notified me the spool was tangled, I fixed it and the print continued.

Framework moment. My trackpad was sticking. Googled some ifixit repair pages and followed the guide. Working trackpad. That is all.

Stayed up way too late playing Spiderman 2 finally. At first I hated the controls, but eventually something clicked and I am now back in the groove after 5 or 6 hours. The story is pretty great, and even the missions are interesting. The city is spectacular.

Hardwired PS5 connection definitely makes a big difference to the PS Portal. One less wifi hop, more consistent latency.

I dug the PS portal out the first time in quite a while to see if things were any better. After doing a bevy of firmware upgrades on the PS5 and portal (v3.0.1). I Installed Spider Man 2 and 1.5h later... It's actually pretty damn good, even over wifi.

The Apple USB-C to 3.5mm audio dongle is incredibly powerful and clear on the framework 13". Even at 50% volume it's dangerously loud.

At my local library and I noticed a voting box. It's cool to see people dropping their ballets off and taking selfies. Democracy in actuality.

I started playing with genaiscript from msft last night to see what all the hype was about. It's a nice wrapper around what ever flavor of ML you want to use, and are familiar with JS/TS. It was easy to use a private ollama instance on my laptop.

@voidlinux.mom showed me lsd-rs/lsd recently, and I'm really enjoying it. The whole rust ecosystem of replacement cli tools is impressive and feels like a genuine advance in UX.

You can control Kodi video streamer over HDMI using the stock LG TV remote with no mods. Mind blown.

I finally found an excellent use for all this RAM. Aside from a file cache. There's an experimental version of ollama which can run on laptop APUs, and can take advantage of up to 40G of system memory. Offline private LLMs for all.
