mastodon 4.7.3#Denver server admin clinging to life after COVID, trying to beat AI to making the penultimate novel about our times. Looking to stop doing piecemeal consulting work in IT infrastructure and go W2 again.
#ROGAlly is my daily driver, #SteamDeck is also damn good but I just can't do 800p.

Moved off of portainer and onto dockge today. I was so SICK of never knowing where a docker compose's . volumes would end up and having to manually rework everything.
Was pretty easy to sort out and I'm glad I'll never run into a 500 error with no debug information at all and a half up mess of orphans splattered all over the walls.
Good stuff!
This #homelab stuff is getting crazy. Set up a local LLM, headless steam server and sunshine/Apollo to have a Gabecube in the living room, (mostly for emulation)
Hermes as a private AI assistant has helped me build some python cron jobs to sync my audiobook, moon reader and hardcover progress. Push all of my health tracking stuff into one interface.
Yep, a 5090 is gonna pay for itself in... *checks watch* 4 years. 😅
I have about a dozen board games I've never played because doing a teach while doing a learn is, well, stupid.
I'm giving an hour a night for a week to complex games and at least 5 rounds of simple ones. This week in "exercises for attention span" I'm playing four player Dead of Winter; alone.
So far, I've won once and died on the Raxxon mission part 2. Stupid monkey got spread bit once the door was open! There's no way out of that. 😨
Tomorrow I'll be doing Bandits!
I think it's funny that "trying to catch a falling star" and "trying to get obliterated by a meteorite" are the same things.
I am the dog that caught the car. I've had this car for a year now.
It's gotten fat, and slow.
Can I trade it in?
I love getting my emails about paying my ATT fiber bill. They say "thanks for choosing ATT"
I chose centurylink simple pay.
Which was purchased by spectrum.
Which was purchased by ATT.
I didn't choose you, you anti consumer monopoly.
That empty feeling when you finish your last project and are forced to use the apps and play the games on the infrastructure you just built.
Alexander wept.
@mookie@chow.fan it's another one of those properties where the adaptation writers were actively hostile to the story being told in the original graphic novel.
I really didn't like the graphic novel. It's my least fav of Stalenhag's works, and I own them all, but it still burns my biscuits when writers do this to authors.
I have a state of the art biometric security system that's unhackable.
Unfortunately I'm also stupid enough to put a pair of eyes w retinas that can open the door and a keycard w the code on it next to each door.
If I'm dealing with someone in the real world in a retail or customer service situation and I have to say "what?" more than three times I'll flat out say "I'm going to need a little more volume from you."
They always seem like I'm being rude.
Shouldn't three whats just imply that they're speaking too quietly?
Watched Arthur the King with my girl tonight. I guess now we gotta get a dog. 🐕🤷
When you want to buy a new phone start rocking your existing one naked.
Ten minutes without a screen protector and the screen spontaneously cracks.
30 seconds with no case; phone defenestrates itself from the fifth floor.
Today in #homelab adventures I moved off of cronometer and garmin's invasive apps and onto gadgetbridge + sparkyfitness.
100% self hosted, no data leaking and I have full control. I think I'm even going to do a monthly donation to sparkyfitness of $5.
This is some really good stuff.
Goodbye Quest 3 and accessories. Ebay took them off my hands for more than I paid for them.
Bring on the Steam Frame. It's going to be interesting to see his much the sector was suppressed by the meta stain.
@ArmandNell@mastodon.social this is a year old. Just dropped? 🤦♂️
Yep, after a couple of years loving the idea of ChiFi IEMs and landing on the Blessing 3 I've gotten my hands on a Technics AZ100.
I can't tell the difference in detail between the two now that I've gotten some foam tips for the AZ100s.
So I guess it's ebay time for the IEMs, bluetooth DACs and whatevers.
It was fun while I was placeboing myself into the idea that big chonkin buds sounded better.
I'm probably just too old for this crap.
This week we're going to try cooking.
Well, we're going to try eating food at home.
Maybe no restaurants more than five blocks away?
Shit, making goals is hard.
But really, no restaurants at the very least.
@kindalame@wehavecookies.social been on a 4U box w an AM4 consumer board in it for years now.
When #homelab collides with #datahoarder 😅
I like the way retro games have stopped using the floppy disk icon as a save and move into the mini cassette.
