@jnkrtech just curious if you were able to give away the motorcycle. Hope your move went well!

really wish #LMStudio chat had a proper built in web fetch

Just finished watching the first season of #Plur1bus and I’m pretty irritated August 2028 is likely when season 2 drops. Pretty awesome show. Great #scifi. I wish there was a book I could read to spoil it all…

Just one git user (me) in my project, and I’ve still managed to make a merge conflict. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Just reminded myself why I shouldn’t eat lunch at Jack-in-the-Box by eating lunch there. 😑

Look at this imagemagick changelog. I count 18 CVE, many sequentially one after another, and one giant fix. Many attributed to one user on Github: https://github.com/ylwango613

Started to use #Ghostty but now running into TERM errors when I connect to remote machines. Very annoying and the fixes are also very annoying. 😫

Be annoyed with me and read the explanation:

#Korea mini-vacation is coming to an end. I got medicine and a cold out of the trip. Side quest to #Japan to visit a friend was good.

yeah no kidding. I'd love to buy a Xiaomi SU7 #ev!

cool #robot stuff from China:

I like this #AI tech bubble more than the #crypto one. Crypto seemed to be pure grifting while AI might produce something useful when the dust settles.

Looking forward to #quantum to have its turn as well. That one will clean up the crypto grift.

I’m seriously thinking about going next year as a spectator. Looks like a bunch of cool #robots. On the other hand Beijing has a robot conference / trade show every year. Maybe best to checkout that.

#Babylon5 S01E19 A Voice in the Wilderness: Part 2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Big ship is an earth heavy cruiser. They want to take control of the tech found on the planet below. Sinclair upset because this warship is trying to take control of Babylon 5. Alien in bay is over 500 years old and has been running the planet underground power and defensive systems. Ambassador and her teacher, another ambassador, and the alien go to planet. Ambassador teacher volunteers to run the machine by plugging himself into it - sacrificing his life. Garibaldi finally gets ahold of old girlfriend on mars. He is giddy with happiness only to be told by her she is now married and expecting her first child. Overall one of the best episodes of Babylon 5 in season 1 so far.

#Babylon5 S01E18 A Voice in the Wilderness: Part 1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Planet the station orbits has a powerful energy beam shooting out of it. Planet was supposed to be inhabitable and empty. Investigation starts. Mars colony rebels against earth government. Minbari ambassador has an old teacher visit. He’s unhappy with homeworld changes and wants to commit suicide (which is apparently normal when you’re old but he’s just on the edge of the age?). Garibaldi depressed about not calling some girlfriend on Mars and now there is a communication blockade. Investigation of planet results in finding an old port 5km below the surface. Alien is found asking for help while being integrated into the wall. Alien brought to station. Something starts to come through jump gate and episode ends.
