#Spectrum decided to upgrade our building network equipment without notice. No internet for the next 4+ hours. I hope this means we get better speeds when they are done. 😮💨
Init scripts will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that #systemd v260 is out. The last remnants of the old unix philosophy have been swept away - unit files now have direct control over their services
Asked #ChatGPT “Is today a holiday” in the “Ask ChatGPT” button that sometimes shows up in search results in #ios #spotlight. Look at this mess!
Just read more about #NetBird and excited there is a totally #opensource alternative to #Tailscale. I think I need to wait for Tailscale to do something stupid before switching though. Need that outrage energy to rebuild everything with a new system.

Love me a good #Microsoft story about their thin skin.

I’m not running #OpenClaw but it’s nice to read I’m a cool kid with a completely speced up Mac mini. 😎 #Apple #Macmini

RAM kits are now sold with one fake RAM stick alongside a real one to create a performance illusion — 1+1 'value pack' offers desperate psychological relief as the memory shortage worsens
<- "FFS" seems inadequate TBH
Just saw this banner text for the first time... neat!

New #mastodon #gotosocial iOS app progress is going well. I hope to share something soon. 
Just got back from a week’s vacation and started work again tonight. So many irritating bugs that would immediately be a turnoff for even an alpha release. Ugh… just noticed a bunch of composing problems…
The MacBook Neo is such an interesting machine that it coaxed a thousand-word-essay out of me: https://samhenri.gold/blog/20260312-this-is-not-the-computer-for-you/
Gonna go to jail because I let Claude Code do my taxes.
I’ve been watching the first season of #ThePitt, and I’m enjoying. It’s made me think more about life decisions. As a kid, I spent a lot of time in the emergency room, and part of me always wanted to be an ER doctor. Instead did CS/EE and didn’t even finish because first internet bubble landed me job.
I made the right decision. I don’t think I would have survived Covid as an ER doctor. Too demanding physically and mentally.
For those who might not know, HarmonyOS is Huawei's new non-Linux OS. Think iOS, China edition. The UX is really great so far, and it's miles and miles ahead in "smoothness" compared to what any Android phone today feels like (and I'm on a low-end device, the Nova 15, which sells for ~$400 US in the mainland right now). I might even say it feels a little more fluent than an iPhone!
Any "can Linux distro X legally include insert-software-written-with-llm-assistance-here" discussions can be immediately short-circuited to "Linux itself is software written with LLM assistance"
@ivory was not able to vote in this poll in Ivory. I got an error about not finding post. I think it is because the original was edited so was trying to vote in the wrong post (that didn’t exist?). worked fine with Phanpy.

Which country are you tooting from? (And city if you feel like it.)
And what is your favorite breakfast?
