Stuck in the middle with you

  • Defragmenting often to free up some precious megabytes. I felt like the king of the world upgrading from 4 to 20 GB.

    Now I treat a few gigabytes the way I used to treat a few megabytes (like they're nothing)

    Selfhosted alternative to google keep/onenote/evernote/goodnotes?

  • Memos fits a wide variety of uses and is the first note system that has clicked for me. I use it for quick notes so I don't forget things, journal-like entries, save for later (like Pocket), shopping lists and other todos.

    Recommendations for Thermost

  • I have the GoControl zwave thermostat. It's very barbones and has no real smarts on it's own but can be fully controlled by zwave. This is what I was looking for as I wanted full control over the algorithm, but if you want to it have more intelligence without having to write the code yourself you should consider other options.

    A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source

  • Fair, but I traveled for a music festival and saw lots of people pulling up their phones to get a few hits of TikTok/insta when there was a small lull in action. And most of them were with friends. Just enjoy your surroundings.

  • Maybe I'm just old, but I traveled by plane recently (I don't fly very often) and seeing everyone around me mindlessly scrolling short-form video content was shocking. Looked identical to the people in the space ship in WALL-E.

    Kentucky state Sen. Johnnie Turner dies after plunging into empty swimming pool on lawn mower

  • My wife's parents have a decent plot of land and always go out for a mow when they're bored of us. I guess it's better than staring at their phones.

    The Death of the Junior Developer

  • At least with junior devs I can hop on a call and show them better ways to do things or why their code is failing. And the good ones eat that up and get promotions.

    Can't say the same for LLMs

    What is the cheapest way to host my own server?

  • I started self hosting many years ago when the company I worked for got new workstations and sold the old ones for next to nothing. It was a very powerful machine but I payed the price every month in electricity. I am now running a bunch of services on 2 mini pcs (each was about $250 USD) with laptop cpus and my electricity usage is way down (like 45 watts for both machines, router, and switch).

    There will be a steep learning curve, but I highly recommend learning docker (especially docker compose) and how to setup a reverse proxy. The self hosted communities are very helpful and can answer more specific questions as they come up.
