@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

@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.
