@fred should i be able to block certain people from replying to me with snark? 🤔

if you can put them inline with text, should there be italic and bold versions of emojis? 🤔

@jerzone

@film_girl seems like Apple is readying themselves to pay a tariff? if the tariff goes through and applies to them, Apple might say “we’re not raising the price!” look like heroes. and if it doesn’t go through or they are (get themselves) excluded from it, Apple gets to pocket the extra cash.

@jerzone yeah not sure how that happened unless i tweaked the power plug sideways and something touched that shouldn’t have. was bound to happen sooner or later. i’ve got a new display screen coming that will also report over wifi, so i won’t need a wired module anymore. and i’ll have a 2nd display to put in another location, so that’s cool.

@jerzone mystery was solved quickly and new parts ordered! lol. not sure exactly what this is but it’s thoroughly cooked.

@jerzone interesting - i went to the ObserverIP and flipped it over so i could give you the model name, and now it’s not receiving or reporting. lol. oops. another electronics project!

i wrote a thing about AI. https://mikesusz.dev/blog/who-did-this/

@jerzone Ambient Weather WS-2902, and i report to wunderground using an Ambient Weather ObserverIP. i think the station saves the 'high' numbers it observes from the previous 30 seconds and sends those when it polls, so i end up reporting the highest numbers it recorded, versus just whatever was happening exactly when it polled.

the high wind warning doesn't start until 9am. recorded a 60.2mph gust a few hours ago. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNHRINDG5/graph/2025-02-17/2025-02-17/daily

@jerzone i’m so sorry Jer.

@css this makes me think of The Dot and the Line. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dot_and_the_Line ) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0yf7IkWceI )

@revmem when i lived in seattle i went out there for a few shows. kind of a haul. neat though.

i spent 2024 being thrown at challenged projects, over & over, trying to fix critical bugs and shove them across the line. didn’t take any vacation and ended up stacking all my time off in december.

i come back to work in january with a dismal utilization percentage (i’m punished for taking vacation) and thrown right back onto projects spiraling out of control.

i’m not a “hustler” & i don’t have youthful energy to give for free to my employer to compensate for their lack of ability to plan.

@jayroh this is different from your other posts?

back on grid power after a few hours on generator. recorded a gust of 70.2mph here this morning. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KNHRINDG5/graph/2025-01-28/2025-01-28/daily

@revmem certain types of stabilizers are more tedious than others

@jerzone i thought it uses the barometer in the phone.

@caseyliss hey y’all, ya heard of the ESCAPE key? it’s great! i tap on a photo, i want to go back. Escape!

@jerzone then the next advanced step, she braids it so there’s more surface area

@jerzone my wife makes this one frequently and so much less effort than individual bagels. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/no-knead-everything-bread-recipe

with my wisdom and age and experience, i would love to assure you that 2025 will be even better than 2024.

except.

this morning i did a dist-upgrade over ssh

@revmem i keep saying this but the dogs have other plans. instead i took a nap today and we all feel like we’ve won.

@jerzone i haven’t been logging mine locally, just sending it to wunderground. makes me think i should have kept the data, though i can query their history api i guess.

@jerzone i had changed my chair over to rollerblade style wheels and i had to switch back to the normal ones, i was worried about rolling onto limbs or snoots or ears.

@jerzone i have a different ergonomic challenge this morning

@marcamos Royale with cheese

@caseyliss @hotdogsladies paperliss?

@hotdogsladies what would Walter Sobchak think about this

@fred oh look, a car full of cabinet appointees

@marcamos wow 13? he doesn’t look a day over 26. are you going to celebrate when he gets home from his shift at the plant?

@marcamos the movement was wonky for me and i couldn’t get into it. i’m probably a bad person.

@threetonesun @marcamos

“why does my delivery robot always suddenly veer across the street and zoom into the park over there”
“that’s where a Snorlax spawned!”

@m750 oh you got them new bluetooth bearings in there

@m750 @jerzone would scare off the bears, probably. maybe just headlamps on the alpacas or something

this weekend i finally got to work on important projec… lol no, truckloads of leaves to the transfer station again.

it’s only “AI” if it comes from the Artificiél region in France

otherwise it’s just sparkling Machine Learning

@kgf ten billion dollars is a lot of coffee

i live my life one 90-day forced corporate password reset at a time. and for those 90 days, i am free.

@jerzone i discovered this when i wanted to find my photos of NYC that it keeps pulling for my lock screen.

@jerzone tap and hold your lock screen, customize, lock screen, 3 dot menu (lower right), “show in photo library”

“powerful package”

@drdrang and the podcasts that never even expose an RSS feed! only links to the major services. kinda maddening.

@jayroh planning a career. seeing where you are, where that leads to, making crucial strategic decisions to get there. including, probably most important - saying no to things that don’t move you forward/upward.

recently discovered that in the Health app, my Apple devices are recording data and inferring things about my mobility fitness. i wish there was a “Dog Walk” workout option that would omit data for that particular activity.

walk. stop. walk. stop. get pulled sideways. walk. stop. bend over. walk. stop. spin around to untangle the leash. run a little. stumble. stop.

@heymarkreeves they've got 2 weeks to take down all the campaign signs, maybe then

once again, grilling by flashlight, but this time in a T-shirt. It is 63° on November 6 at 7 PM.
