Finally got my Ayn Thor. It’s been great getting to replay games that defined my childhood. No multiplayer, no online notifications, achievements, in game micro transactions. It’s quite freeing.

Every day my cat hides my AirPods somewhere. Today, they were underneath the couch alongside two of his other favorite toys.

If the AirPods didn’t have find my support, I would never see them again

I am thoroughly enjoying learning SvelteKit! (AI helped me get here) I think next I'm going to try a UI library like Skeleton to give the frontend a go on my own.

Using AI at work, I've had to really be thoughtful with the prompts/information I feed it. Without me explaining proper context and follow up information it simply can't do what I ask of it.

At this point, AI still needs skilled operators to know what to ask/evaluate if what it says is valid.

I finally found a side programming project to work on that is engaging to work on, will help me learn a ton, and( if I finish it) could be a a cool contribution to the self hosting community. 😬

Finally got around to playing and finishing Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

Withholding one gripe, the story was fantastic. The game felt less linear than the first.

I wish the PC port wasn’t so terrible. It kept me from wanting to do side quests/extras. I only played through the main story.

Seriously considering converting my desktop into a small form factor HTPC running @bazzite.gg. I've been doing most of my gaming on the couch with sunshine/moonlight anyways.

Really cool website I found: canyoublockit.com.

Talos Linux is really something special. Setting up a three node k8s cluster in less than half an hour (while reading documentation for the first time) is awesome.

No Ansible or kubespray needed 🙌
