Really pissed at how hard it is to find appliances with certain features now. Wanna buy a Microwave that can be mounted underneath a cupboard? Or a toaster with a IR sensor to monitor the roast? Good luck searching for that, you'll just get SEO-slopped BS that doesn't even do the thing you wanted! I already know I want a toaster that doesn't burn the second slice to shit, don't try to upsell me on OEM'd crap that I'm not gonna buy anyway! Technology Connections was right, the Sunbeam Radiant Control was the peak of toasting and now that ir sensors are seemingly gone too everything sucks

First time I can finally join in on #GryphonAppreciationDay - so here's my two beans! 🟣 Vela is based on a stellar nebula and i promise I'll get art of them eventually. 🟠 Ari's gryphon form was a surprise gift from @snowystripesart@social.jnpw.net and I'm still so so happy with the sabretooth-cat like design. Thank you so much again!

it took me until today to realize that 1280 and 1920 are exactly 2x and 3x 640. Pixels that is. it's just the standard res horizontal image with multipled. how did i not realize that before?

... well there go all my plans for the next few weeks :dragnsweats:

TIL that a wildcard certificate does *not* cover nested subdomains.

So a cert for *.arios.space is valid for bird.arios.apce, but *not* nest.bird.arios.space.

... but why? That's how DNS works after all!

Super inconvenient from an infra perspective since now i need special certificates for some services...

Playing CS2 Arms Race at 2 AM while listening to a mixed Metal/Trance playlist at max volume whilst on caffeine. Now that's a kind of overstimulation I can get behind

I mainly used Codeberg as an external mirror here, something that I can rely upon for bootstrapping if i fuck up my configuration. I'm now pushing the repo on Codeberg to my internal Forgejo instance and am sourcing that in Argo. All the errors went away immediately, so that's good. Still not sure how that was enough to get me IP-banned though, that's rough...

@chirpbirb .... wait is Anubis actually giving folks trouble? I also dislike that its necessary, but the check never takes more than a second or so on any of my devices - just a minor inconvenience. (Genuinely curious because I've been trialing it in a professional environment as of recent)

@Melody @chirpbirb ow, yeah that's very understandable. I work in infra/hosting so I understand why many sites employ it now (the "AI" induced scraper traffic is *insane* nowadays), but it sucks that regular users are affected negatively by it too

also been trying out Zed as a replacement for VSCode and so far its been pretty good. Not super happy about them pitching it as a "collaborative editor between humans and """AI"""", but credit where it's due, all the LLM/Agent features can be completely toggled with a single setting switch, and they actually vanish after that! Not like VSCode is doing any better here sadly... The UI itself feels super snappy and all the features I need are there yay Obviously not as many extensions as VSCode yet, but quite a lot of stuff (such as Error Lens) is built-in, I haven't really been missing much.
