    I got a job and was not allowed to use a linux laptop, so I went with mac.

    Same. 2015. I could have pushed them to let me use Linux, but it would have been making waves in a remote shop. The 2015 MacBook hardware was decent, so I got it. Domain binding was still in fashion. 99 problems. Finally, I got it okay-ish, set up Brew, it’s a hack. I started trying to use the terminal to do things, almost no config available, the disk mount subsystem was alien, the logs were crap. Since then, the hardware and compatibility has just gotten awful.

    Hell, I don’t even trust a single study anymore… This one was done in India under the pressures of not having enough dentists to cover their massive population.

    The actual point behind it might be if you’re not going to floss, definitely mouthwash

    mouth wash is at least as good

    Mouthwash has a couple of downsides.

    1. It does not discriminate good bacteria from bad bacteria. If you stop or delay treatment, you have a chance of getting a runaway situation with nasty bacteria.

    2. It does not remove plaque. If you stop or delay treatment for a while, bacteria make and settle down in to plaque. You’re relying on dental visits to remove the plaque.

    3. Mouthwash does not remove food lodged in the gumline or in between teeth.

    If you don’t like flossing, I’d recommend getting a waterpic. Keep your tongue scrubbed and brush after every meal. Only use mouthwash if you start having funky smells / tastes / things seem off.

    No cavities in 25 years. Unfortunately, the 25 years before that did not go as well, it took me a long time to sort out dental hygiene.







  • I was on a cruise once. Upper deck mini-buffet had a plate of piped black bean croquettes.

    They were lumpy like the beef here, and because they were piped, one side of the ends was pinched off.

    The head chef for the boat was making his rounds. We were laughing at the presentation. He smiled at us probably thinking what are these assholes laughing at, he looked down, frowed, what za fuk were zey thinking putting shit out like this. Within a few minutes the pan disappeared and the next day that buffet was quite pretty.


  • First time I’ve heard of your project. it looks great!

    Do you have any place you’d like to collect result issues? I’d be willing to run it for a while and give feedback on anything out of whack.

    The biggest problem I see in about 10 minutes of playing with it:

    Official documentation gets trampled by older fan docs.

    q=“Setting up Tailscale on Linux”

    In a perfect world would give you “https://tailscale.com/kb/1031/install-linux

    Bing, Google, Quant, all rate that high (#1), it’s a universal instruction page for most linux.

    q=“Tailscale” does bring me right to the official site.

    q=“site:tailscale.com tailscale setup” does net a couple of results from their kb, but not 1031.

    another example

    q=“Pinokio Setup”

    expecting to headline pinokio.computer as the official site, but there’s nothing on the first page.

    changing it to q=“pinokio” drops you right on the pinokio.computer

    q=“site:pinokio.computer pinokio setup” results in no results

    It’s super responsive, please keep up the good work!


  • Max had already turned on the shower for me, setting the water temperature right where I liked it. As I jumped into the steam-filled stall. Max switched the music over to my shower tunes playlist. I recognized the opening riffs of “Change,” by John Waite. From the Vision Quest soundtrack. Geffen Records, 1985.

    Ready Player One had an AI that prepared his shower for him



  • Hell, even if you are a programmer and have no memory issues, it’s a hell of a lot faster to have it boilerplate something for you for a given engine with certain features than to sit down and write it from scratch or try to find a boilerplate. Stack exchange usage has been going down regularly as LLMs are filling the gap.

    It doesn’t get you to third base or anything. But it does get you started and well-structured within the first couple minutes of code for any reasonably simple task.

    Last year I worked on a synchronized Halloween projector project. I had the first week of work saved into my repo, but as Halloween approached, I wrote a lot of it on the server. After Halloween, I failed to commit it back and inadvertently wiped the box.

    This year, after realizing my code was gone, I decided to try having copilot give me a head start. I had it start back over from scratch, asked it in detail for exactly what I had last year, it was all fully functional again in about 4 hours. It was clean, functional well documented code. I had no problem extending it out with my own work and picked up like I hadn’t lost anything.





  • For the last few years, I’ve been trying to get them to assign me at least someone part-time to learn my tribal knowledge. I’ve been writing documents and leaving copious notes in Slack canvasses to stakeholders. If something happens to me, they’ll be struggle-bussing it.

    When I go on vacation, I’m still stuck for end-game support for p0 stuff. If production is down, I’ll stop what I’m doing, If they can’t make money, they can’t pay my salary. I’ll answer P1 questions off hours to an extent.

    I don’t absolutely hate it. I’m paid well for the inconvenience but they’re playing with fire. I only go places that have some form of internet somewhere (doesn’t need to be everywhere) and I’m always within 15 minutes of grabbing my laptop.
