I’m reading this article about the de-skilling of the web, web dev burnout, and how we are no longer allowed to be specialists. I’m reading it while at work where I’m trying to figure out why my SQL queries aren’t working, what I’ve done wrong in a backend server framework, and there’s a design waiting for me to review before I implement it in CSS and HTML. 😖
Please let me hone in on just a couple of these and practice a craft…
Every winter: 🦝 ah, time to make the annual "Here's how to DIY an anti-SAD lightbox" post
Every summer: 🦝 oho, time to make the annual "Here's how to suck cold air in" post
@ifixcoinops Hi, it’s winter down here 🇳🇿 Can I see the anti-SAD post?
It's also cold if you have a reverse of your summer one, but since the outside daytime air is still Cold, the heatpump and insultation is probably my best bet.
Are AIs/LLMs going to push everyone away from VC & Big Tech content & communication products to self-hosted and/or FOSS products? That would be nice. Though it feels like the method of getting there is the rejuivination that comes after a raging and destructive wildfire.
@aligorith True. Plus that other wildfire over there (crypto) is somehow still raging while salting the earth and returning nothing useful. So I don’t expect this one to burn out any time soon.
I have telegram because it was really easy to set up a bot and a bash script to send messages to it-basically my own little notifications app. But it’s also the only thing I use telegram for. What’s a good alternative? Free and open source preferred. Self hosting as well
@chebra Does this mean hosting an entire Matrix setup? I’ve been curious if something like Matrix would work, but don’t understand the system well enough.
iPad can do a whole batch of things Mac can’t do. Yet my lowly M1 Mac mini can still perform all kinds of processes iPad can’t—even with the latest Pros. Oops.
@theinternet@jaredwhite Was just discussing the same setup - mini at home, ipad on the go. Do you have a post sharing your setup, especially the software side?
We've been using our outside space a lot more and I ordered a picnic table which comes Saturday. I am SO EXCITED. I am also going to get some of those cheesy summer-ey outside glasses that have watermelons on them.
This creator makes a great point. I support restoring the names of the Cascade peaks to their original names—for justice but also because they are generally superior names.
@adam That would be awesome. I’ve looked (weak online search) for the original names of the Three Sisters but was unable to find them. Cause that’s a pretty weak name set as well. Faith, Hope, and Charity is slightly better, but uh… colonial religion much?
@lightweight@donaldball Did you have any major reason for choosing OnlyOffice vs LibreOffice / Collabora with NextCloud? (I can’t recall if I asked this before 😅)
