I like the trolls on #LinkedIn. They post some good satire every once in awhile. The #openforwork in the avatar is also a nice touch.

Ugh customer support is still terrible. What a frustrating read! #CustomerSupport #IndieDevs

Seeing how long 1% will last. #iphone #apple

Concerning keyboards... The #Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID. I like how the keyboard is identical to the almost all previous MacBook Pro's I've had (including current). I literally have the same exact layout locked into memory. Zero learning curve of a new keyboard for almost 15 years now...

I do admit the IBM Model M, SSK looks good (see article below) but cheapest I see is $500 on eBay? That's a no from me dog. I'm good.

I think the title of this blog is a bit misleading. There was definitely a lot of setup and there is still “15 min” of administrative work going on. But a good list of things one can do to maintain a server for their #selfhosting #homelab

Friend sent me this over iMessage. I probably shouldn't have laughed. #Merica

Probably has already been looked at by many in the #fediverse, but I just saw it. Nice read but mostly out of my wheelhouse.

Had a great sleep last night. One for the record books (mine anyway). #health #sleep #AppleWatch

But “Play has no limits”?!

I can’t believe Raisin Bran is more popular than Chex or Frosted Miniwheats… is this because everyone on the #fediverse is old and just needs to… be regular with the bran? 🤔 https://hachyderm.io/@suzannealdrich/116809021362172908

This #movie collection on #AppleTV is 100 movies for $99.99. Pretty good deal. There are some duds of course… “Bio Dome” starring Polly Shore… but also good classics.

I actually miss living in Beaverton #Oregon when I read funny 💩 like this. 😂

r/LocalLLM on #Reddit is such a mixed bag of idiots, morons, techbros, and people trying to exchange some #ML or #LLM information. I’ve been downvoted into the negative, losing worthless internet points, because users don’t like an honest or accurate answer. Then a meme-like comment will make it rain upvotes on me.

A week ago, a senior in front of my wife and me in line at #Costco told us, “The peaches here usually taste like 💩. But they’re really good right now! Get some!”

We did, and they are pretty delicious. #Hawaii

I agree with this completely. This is a workhorse for getting a lot of boilerplate grunt work done quickly so I can focus on the important bits. My machine is just 64GB #Mac mini so I run a 4bit model. I should give the 8bit model another go.

Updated my dusty.ninja #gotosocial server to 0.22.0. Same as RC but it’s good to be on something stable again.

Cool guide for getting #RDMA working for AMD #StrixHalo in #Linux. Reminds me of a startup I was in ~15 years ago where we used #Infiniband for #GlusterFS. Looks like it still needs some work to remain stable. The troubleshooting section has a deadlock warning (and fix) right off the bat.

This was a good read (and movie clip) about #AI and other #LLM slop from Robin Williams. Author specifically called out ChatGPT but it applies to them all.

I’ve never disagreed with so many replies in a #reddit r/AskReddit post before. So many haters!

Cool seeing performance improvements for #Linux kernel. But at the same time I guess I won't get the benefit for something like 2+ years running a LTS #Debian.
