Not a software dev, but for me it’s the constant leap from today’s “next best thing” to tomorrow’s. Behind the Bastards did an episode on AI, and his take resonated with me. Particularly his Q&A session with some AI leaders at, I think, CES not long ago. When the new hotness gets popular, an obscene amount of money is paired with the “move fast and break things” attitude in a rush to profit. This often creates massive opportunities for grifters as legislators are mind numbing slow to react to these new technologies. And when regulations are finally passed (or more recently, allowed by the oligarchs), they’re often written to protect the billionaires (read: “job creators”) more than the common customer. Everyone’s bought into the idea that slow and methodical stifles innovation. At least the people funding and regulating these things have.

It breaks large uploads into smaller chunks. If you’re hosting behind a reverse proxy and using cloudflare, there’s I think a 100MB upload limit. Can pose a problem for importing some videos.

Chunking and the ability to rotate an image. I guess those features aren’t sexy.

Every time I see this, I look for information about the aftermarket space. I have an 11 year old car with a Pioneer deck.

Favorite pic so far. Thanks!

Except for that rare cat that loves them. I have two!

At this point, it could still go either way. Make no mistake, we’ve already done, and will continue to do, profound damage to the environment and global climate that will take generations to reverse (if that’s even possible). That said, I think it’s going to need to get seriously worse before the world’s largest polluters have no choice but to go against the monied interests in fossil fuels and plastics. Like many very wealthy people are going to have to be directly affected by this is always that can’t be disingenuously explained away.

Same feelings. Didn’t even know PS5 Pro was a thing, but any time scalpers get screwed is cause for some celebration.

Oh, and Damnation Game was pretty good.

Thief of Always was touching and a little scary. There’s also Great And Secret Show, which was… weird.

My wife and I increasingly wish we lived overseas!

I didn’t think about that. I’ve only ever used it for 2 things, and only one of them was a new number. That was over 10-years ago.

Honestly, I’ve been using GVoice for a long time as a replacement for my land line. It doesn’t even ring anywhere. It’s the number we give for things like gas rewards and such. It’s been great. I’m actually amazed Google hasn’t killed or enshitified it yet.

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people just throwing trash out their car windows. It’s become disturbingly common and I really want to scream at the that the world is not their trashcan. I don’t, because I really think I would get shot.

I have similar leanings. Every election cycle there’s a growing part of my brain that just wants to vote for the craziest people on the ballot in hopes that they will succeed in burning it all down.

Since ,my company are such sticklers about not going over our daily meal limit while on travel, and have as yet ignored our requests to just do per diem or use the total from the trip, I often purchase gift cards to fill out an underspent day on travel. An Apple Card or something for some restaurant where my wife likes to get lunch.

Auburn checking in. We also suck.

War Eagle!

I don’t. I usually search for, e.g., nmcli bridge setup

Handy primer, but also out of date, especially for RHEL and RHEL-adjacent. For one thing, they’re all in on NetworkManager. The commands outlined in the article aren’t permanent, and it doesn’t go over ways to make them permanent. Secondly, teaming is deprecated by RH since the guy who maintained the driver quit.

Towels and sheets weekly. Comforter and mattress topper alternating weeks.
