My raspberry pi 5 is the most unreliable machine I own. It goes offline / dead randomly after months of uptime. I literally use it for nothing more than an IRC shell. I always keep it updated and reboot when needed (kernel update). But so many times I try to ssh in and it’s just dead. Ridiculous.

I think I might reflash it with a fresh OS. What do people recommend for an 8GB (memory) one of these? I’ve just been using their standard Linux which is some repackaged Debian.

Was watching random episodes of Family Ties. I remember as a kid really loving that show. But recently watch of the later seasons really bug me. They all trash on Nick openly and it’s kind of a sad undertone to the show. I didn’t notice that aspect at all when I was young. Just doesn’t even make sense from a writing standpoint… the parents are hippies and all full of love… except for Nick? WTF.

For reference I bought a cheap projector and it had the Pluto.app. This was the first show I recognized and watched like 5 episodes in a row from season 7. The 3-episode block “Heartstrings” was good except for poor Nick.

The screenshot wasn't enough for me so I dug up the article. What a weird hobby to role-play being an American hick.

Started playing #chess again. It's been a good ... 2 years? I'm really rusty. My rating has crashed to 1000. Just garbage play. Ugh.

Must be nice having buddies regulating ya… 🙄 https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116891605349794510

Hmmm, prices still not getting the nostalgia makeover… #Pizza #PizzaHut #nostalgia

only clear explanation of what happened with #ChatControl in the #EU is ironically written by some crypto rag...

Seems those “YouTube Exclusive” episodes that land from the networks give credit to #YouTube for an #Emmy. Doesn’t seem YouTube did anything except host content that happened to become popular? Or do some content creators have some kind of special financial backing?

I woke with a fever - started last nightish. It’s weird. I feel super cold so didn’t run AC all night… covered in sweat but still freezing. Love being sick. Amazing. 10/10 stars.

Same is true for #Gotosocial. Search is totally unusable. 😞 https://infosec.exchange/@masek/116878399496394217

An absurd project of taking apart an old #calculator (Casio HS-8VA) and replacing the guts with a small computer (maybe a Raspberry Pi W?). As you type, it sends the simple keypresses (like 2+2) to a data center for an #LLM to solve.

So to use the calculator you need wifi and some kind of #OpenAI API access:

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

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
