In middle school (I think) we spent a few days in math class hand-calculating trigonometry values (cosine, sin, etc.). Only after we did that did our teacher tell us that the mandated calculators that we all have used for the last few months have a magic button that will "solve" for the values for you. It definitely made me appreciate the calculator more!

ICE cars also often leak all sorts of liquids onto roadways (and thus into our water ways).

I enjoy seeing glimpse into other people's niche hobbies.

I really enjoy markets like they describe and I've experienced them in Asia, but I have no idea where I'd find one in WA State.

We also try to roll a Retry-Limit (max number of retries) header to prevent our clients from hurting our services too much if there are ongoing issues.

I had a old, cheap, used Dell R710 that I bought used in ~2016 until 2025. It only took a few months of running a new, much more efficient server to pay for its self.

It's funny because I learned git on the job and we exclusively used rebase when I was learning my git fundamentals. I wouldn't say merging scares be, but it's never a tool a reach for.

Is git reflog that bad to use? It just lists a bunch of commit hashes. Find the one you want and hard reset to it.

With Photosync I have our photos export to my NAS and have it update the file names with the timestamp + original file name, which makes it so much more sane to sort through.

Example:

Server-side file: 2015.01.15__IMG_9999__.JPG

It's definitely a balancing act.

I remember part of my new manager training at my company started with "Be a lazy manager". The idea being that you should help your directs build muscles to try to help them self first, and then ask for help.

Indeed. I was in Sweden and learned that you can look up someone's address and pay on a government website. I think there are some "are you human" checks, but it's basically all in the clear.

It creeped me out a bit and then I was angry when I realized it's the same way in the US, but maybe worse. In the US this is possible too, you just have to pay private data brokers and a bunch of middle men make a cheap buck. Employers sell your pay data, websites sell your address. Everyone makes a buck at your expense.

Just shooting in the dark, but could you use rclone somehow?

I love that HBO still carries on even if Halo is a limping franchise.

Make sure you authenticate somehow to prevent external abuse.

I have a Plex lifetime subscription but hold no strict allegiance to the company.

If Jellyfin was a comparable product (in user experience and ease of use for my extended family's platforms) I'd switch tomorrow.

I can't tell if you're serious but the company shipping this phone ships keyboard cases. They are hilariously sized.

Doesn't Sydney also have world class public transport infrastructure? Seems like a pretty decent trade to me.

> And the modern game industry is beyond saving at this point outside of a few independent studios.

I totally disagree. There are are a ton of fun indie games these days from all sorts of folks and studios.

Look beyond the billion or trillion dollar companies and there is still a ton of fun, new games coming out.

Wow! I was using LightBurn this evening for some holiday presents. Hello from a very thankful MacOS user.

What's your laser setup? 80-100W CO2 laser?

Depending on how much money you have, many countries would "love" to have you.

Although if you have that much money life in the US right now probably isn't personally on the extreme decline.

And the bar is pretty low isn't it?

Now days with "Apple Intelligence" enabled, half of a siri response is "I found this with ChatGPT, verify important information".

As far as user experience goes, it reminds me of those stupid warnings every time you start a car that basically says "drive safe!"

> Copy/pasting from ChatGPT still works better.

Side tangent: Copy/pasting from the Windows Copilot app is absolute dogshit. It makes no sense that the simple action of "copy this text" is this broken.

Very fun insight, thanks for sharing your story!

I assume things like Starlink have made the station a lot less "boring", which might depreciate some of the "off-grid" novelty of being there.

I find it neat that even in a climate as hostile as the Antarctic humans still make an effort to recycle.

I am now appreciating the spectrum of ad acceptance. I am closer to the "billboards shouldn't be allowed" end of the spectrum.

An ad sitting on a screen in my personal space sounds like a dystopian novel.

> hardly what I consider invasive

This is an ad in someone's kitchen in their home. How can it get more invasive?

One option is use immich just to browse photos. I back my photos up to various places, one of which is my NAS. You can set up immich to browse but not modify photos so you can still use it as a "front end".

It's true for most of the modern web. Hardware and internet connections have come reliable and fast enough for many people not to care.

Unfortunately there are still people on metered/slow connections that really do care still.
