As I was heading out to bring my daughter to a birthday party my wife reminded me to “make sure I’m being social with the other parents.” As I’m prone to keep to myself, I took the advice seriously.
Yet, when I arrived, most of the moms were socializing at the party, with a few dads hanging about. The rest of the dads were sitting in their cars!
Are there some unsaid rules of parenting for how each parent should socialize? Or are other dads just similar and introverted?
I watch dev teams every week wrestling with major downstream consequences of not taking enough care over their work, and then I hear managers warning them "Beware of taking too much care!", and I wonder if they and I are perhaps living in different universes.
@doboprobodyne I'm just here cause I love that hashtag. I enjoy hobby dev work and self-hosting, but my FT job isn't as a dev. This hashtag is my vibe!
In today's blog post I continue the theme of degoogling one's life. I talk about my experiences with @invidious, an alternative open-source frontend to Youtube that can be self hosted.
Do you want to watch YT videos without actually going to Youtube site? Take a look!
@mforester Do you mind going into more detail or sharing any links? I noticed I have the same issue with my #selfhosted setup. When everything is up and running, it’s great. But if my internet goes out, I just start losing access, I don’t even get notifications.
holy moly. sometimes you think you’re in a good flow when programming and you find a bug and start trying to fix it. only to spend an inordinordinate amount of time looking at everything except the basics. my #workato recipe #python node wasn’t outputting anything….
all because i tried appending to a list i never initialized. 🤦 so dumb. such is the life we’ve chosen.
@tshirtman Words of wisdom right here. It’s so easy to mis-remember that you’ve done something when that’s the thing you have to fix.
What’s even harder, is when you try to check everything by going line-by-line but that mis-remembering causes you to just skim some or all the lines instead of really reading. sigh.
I think I might give #neovim another shot as my IDE for #projectone. Nothing wrong with VSCode, but I would like to jump around a little bit faster, stay more on the keyboard, maybe have a slightly faster environment to work in? I just haven't used NeoVIM as an IDE in a long time and well, why not?
Another home lab install - I decided to give Plex another try for managing my music, and after installing Plexamp, I can't say I hate it. Works well on phone, ipad, and even CarPlay.
Still going to give Navidrome a try. Looked at Funkwhale but I'm not quite there yet.
@box464 I was not very confident about #Navidrome, especially after using #jellyfin 's music player for a while. I was deeply mistaken! It's not the same as the streaming platforms, but I've been really enjoying how many small, helpful features there are in the UI. Highly recommended!
@scy fwiw, it took me a bit to get Bekaboo's dead column setup correctly (another lua file was overwriting tw and cc), but now that it's working across my various filetypes, I really like it. It feels dynamic
