I Write Codes not Tragedies

okay, some of the codes are tragedies

@threetonesun you think that’s more or less expensive than a live goose? 🤔

@jdarnold i’m the guy who keeps a little bike multi-tool in my backpack so i can adjust and tighten all the monitor arms :)

@jdarnold monitors misaligned. please fix.

hold on, nobody asked for humidity.

@atpfm @caseyliss casey. get a tiny usb-c to lightning adapter.

@marcamos me, checking that box, when i know that the website won’t.

@revmem ooh, i haven't had those. my fave in this area (er, new england, probably) is bagel alley in nashua

@sarajw too bad it doesn’t help you to know both exactly where you are and exactly how fast you’re moving

ceo: "people are canceling their premium accounts! what can we do?"
tech bro: "hold my beer."

as i read your training material, every time you use an acronym and don’t explain it, i get to poke you in the eye

not a lot of technical here (the tutorials and guides are great) but i documented my latest journey to self-hosting. https://mikesusz.dev/blog/coolify-setup/

@annika i usually spend my first half hour looking for an RJ45 for my travel router and then i take a nap. sometimes the tvs let you HDMI into them so that’s nice.

i just finished reading The Murderbot Diaries entire series and i didn’t find out until i was on book 3 or 4 that Apple was making TV out of it and now i’m … what’s the word for being both excited and mad?

@atpfm I thought that they were holding off on releasing nice colors on macs until they have an update where the specifications are lackluster.

@atpfm has @siracusa already weighed in on this? https://www.wired.com/story/sony-rgb-led-tv/

@jdarnold i’ve been taking lactase enzyme for years now. it’s … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@jerzone @m750 this is funny but ... my nephew piped his gaming PC's cooling through his floor and put the radiator+fans in his basement. free basement heat!

@m750 i'm intrigued by new cards but when i built my current machine, i knew that any upgrade would involve a LOT of overhead (custom-loop watercooled) so ... yeah i'm gonna enjoy this one for a while. :) lol

@fred i especially like the ones that berate me and then i look at the Network tab and they tried to load like 30+ tracking scripts

@jerzone oh wow that’s awesome. i’m guessing the outdoor component is kinda what we use now for radiant-floor heat, except painted black (and moving heat in the opposite direction)

@jerzone i've been intrigued by these systems for a while. ideally i'd like to replace my direct-fired boiler DHW with a dual-coil indirect DHW tank, one coil being fed by the boiler and another by a heat pump (basically want to turn my AC waste heat into hot water in the summer).

@jerzone not a plumber but those look like union fittings to me. so the nut should turn (seal made between flat mating surfaces) but you also seem to have much bi-metal corrosion maybe.

@marcamos buncha savages in this town

@marcamos i am drawn to do the same, except i'm currently employed by a Consulting organization that ... has different priorities.

i really used to believe in "Good, Fast, Cheap: Pick 2" but now i'm thinking if you pick "Fast" that's all you get. maybe.

@atpfm when @siracusa was talking about many people in one place with mobile devices i instantly thought about PAX! my kids and i make an offline plan to meet up at specific places and times because we can never count on any data going through (or our batteries lasting long while attempting to send/receive with that congestion)

@jerzone thank you for the picture! i know a couple folks at work who are company-history buffs, i'll share if that's okay.

@revmem a long time ago i had a roommate who was an electrical engineering major, i asked him what the difference was and he said "A is for telco, B is for data" so i never really questioned it since. but i doubt the throughput would be affected much anymore.

@jerzone

@marcamos no cap

@marcamos fr fr

@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.
