@gsuberland I’m curious, how do you learn to build complex stuff like this? I’m starting from the point of a barely remembered A level in electronics, unused for anything more complex than wiring a temperature sensor up to an ESP8266 for the last 20 odd years.
@pikesley sound like you’d like AWS Cloudwatch Logs, who’s CLI team consider streaming logs from their log service to be an inconsequential feature best left to third party tools.
@RachaelAva1024 take it, plug it into a machine I don’t care about without an internet connection.
I need some sort of small project to get my teeth into. Currently buying the flat I live in which will then become a huge project of decorating and DIY, but until then I feel like I’m in limbo.
@Edent I’d say yes, just because security on the account is somewhat compromised, but don’t leap out of bed to do it. I’m never quite comfortable trusting 2FA alone because so many companies are willing to turn it off if someone calls them up with an appropriate sounding sob story.
Today we're waiting for an IKEA delivery that, according to their email, will be a 10x10x10 cm box weighing 14 kg.
So density-wise that has to contain berkelium, californium, protactinium, tantalum, uranium, gold, tungsten, plutonium, neptunium, rhenium, platinum, iridium, or osmium.
We're of course hoping for platinum, and really not for plutonium, because the critical mass is 11 kg...
IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS is the new captcha.
The boss makes a dollar,
I make a dime
That was a poem
From a simpler time
Now his boss makes 1000
While I make a cent
And he's got employees
That can't make the rent
When the CEO makes a million
And we don't make jack
That's when we riot
To take it all back
Now Mr investor
If this seems extreme
I have to remind you
It beats guillotines
(from a user on Reddit)
@fesshole would you rather they threw it in your front garden? Are so many bags of dog shit going in your bin you can’t fit your own rubbish in? I will never understand people who get worked up about people putting rubbish in bins.
@gsuberland @leo there’s also not a lot of complex concepts to communicate. It’s almost all just factual labels describing a particular material.
I find it incredibly funny that someone had to fill in a form confirming that the light switches and plug sockets are included in the sale of my flat. Does anyone ever tick the no box on that?
@saraislet it’s ok, because they’re projected to only be a fraction of the emissions from business travel. (Which according to their own website makes up 68% of all Carbon emissions by PwC)
Was reminded today that Bonzi Buddy was derided as spyware two decades ago for doing considerably less than the telemetry in virtually every modern application.
The fact that Microsoft Teams 🤮 contains a feature called "Teams" where actual teams can create a Team, and at Microsoft the teams working on that feature probably have a Team to discuss the Teams feature, suggests that there exists a Microsoft Microsoft Teams Teams Teams' Microsoft Teams Team.
@herdingdata because we all carry tricorders in our pockets that function as communicators as well.
Slightly sad at the stream of notifications I’m getting from Apple Health telling me, more or less, I’m not longer at EMF. Calories burned down, steps walked down, hours standing down, hours slept up.
@jonathanmatthews this is kind of my job now, so I have an entire spreadsheet of these things from recent research. Do you care about CPU architecture, how many network interfaces do you want, and do you want mPCIe storage or onboard eMMC?
I’m mostly running balenaOS because they’re single purpose appliances rather than general purpose servers, but they’ll basically all run whatever distro you like.
@fesshole I’d probably attempt to cook them like meat balls, seeing as how they’re, well, meat balls.
Went to the pub last night and only quite late did I remember I’d promised the boy we’d go to the fun fair. I’m pleased to report that while it was touch and go I managed not to throw up on any of the very spinny rides.
@rachel it’s important to have aspirations in life. (I can’t do more than 1.3)
