AH. DevOps Engineer. I post about #Gaming, #SteamDeck, #Linux, #Anime, and #Tech in general.
omfg i'm so happy my #Daikin AC can finally be added to #homeassistant thanks to this custom integration, let's go!!!
there were plenty of Daikin integrations available, but all of them served only Daikin EU or wherever else, not GO DAIKIN users including in Malaysia. this integration works specifically for GO DAIKIN, and it's so bloody simple to set up.

I've self-hosted my own #Forgejo server for a while now and it's been such a freaking delight to work with, and gives me some relief that my code/#Git repos have a place outside of #GitHub. When I started this however, I couldn't fully migrate everything I had to Forgejo - as some were still tied to GitHub's actions and their hosted runners. Before I could migrate them, I'd need to set up runners of my own on the Forgejo server.
Seeing GitHub's rapid deterioration lately, I resumed my search on setting up runners on Forgejo the right way, and was initially under the impression that it's gonna be complicated... but as it turns out, it really isn't. I set up a simple runner on a remote #RaspberryPi I had using #Docker (Compose) and it was ready to go. Porting my actions/workflows files were super easy too, unlike doing the same for something like #GitLab. Now all of my repos that were on GitHub and had some CI/CD set up have been migrated to my Forgejo server, using my own runners.
I've updated my #Homelab Wiki topic on Forgejo to include the optional step to set up a Forgejo runner. If you're now only considering deploying Forgejo, feel free to check out the rest of the topic which covers the complete setup, some basic recommended configurations, and even how to migrate your repos to Forgejo and set up push mirroring so they still exist on GitHub (if you choose to).

Just a quick update: Mocha has successfully been neutered this morn xD He stayed w us last nite so we cld enforce him fasting, he'll stay w us tonite so we cld take care of him as he recovers, and we'll see if he needs to stay w us for another nite tomorrow. Barely got any sleep last nite with him constantly waking me. Also this experience reminded me how Mocha rarely meows, but rather, he 'chirps'. It's so cute lol, he's literally a lil, cute birdie.
Getting a #MacBook to use on its own - great. Today I'm reminded - using it as a desktop... not so much, unless you use #Apple peripherals too like their official display and trackpad/mouse. Fortunately, keyboard's unaffected by this #macOS incompetence.
For trackpads - sure, Apple's is the best I've used still and is something I'll always buy and use, happily. Display - nah, even if they're affordable. They're just too limited and I'd go just as nuts if I was using a #Dell laptop and u tell me I can ONLY use Dell monitors, gross. All in all, as nice as it is Apple's Macs are, macOS is a hot mess.
holy crap #samsung UI looks garbage even compared to other #android ‘skins’ lololol but #samsungpay integrating #duitnowQR now is seriously cool. they’re starting with #maybank but seems like they’ll add #shopeepay too. #apple needs to get in on this instead of only supporting the ‘traditional’ NFC payments. cooler if they can even figure out supporting these QR payments without internet connection, but dk if dats technically feasible.

I didn’t realise how expensive custom laser cut acrylic panels are.. Idk if I’d like to pay ~136 MYR just to partially cover up them grills on my cat’s cage…
Is #Nix a stable thing on #macOS (#Apple Silicon Macs in particular, if that matters)? I remember hearing that the setup process is pretty disruptive - requiring some manual partitioning or wtv, is that still the case? If it's worth the hassle, since I'm already using #Nix on #Linux, I may want to have it on my #MacBook as well. I'm also curious just how usable are the graphical packages on macOS when installed using Nix, seeing how even on (non-#nixOS) Linux, graphical apps are a lot of the time incompatible, so I end up only really using it for non-graphical packages. I imagine that'd be pretty similar on macOS and u'd still need #Homebrew for most apps.
Malaysian road kills/accidents never fail to make me fucking fuming - esp this one, involving killing/injuring cats and dogs who were bound to an expo in hopes of being adopted. By a lorry of fucking course.
Since our govs of the day can never solve this fucking recurring issue might as well just ban all Malaysians from driving la. Better that than actually taking some fucking proactive action to address this, maybe. Cibai.
Every fucking day, every fucking week, someone has to pay for these sohai drivers on the road. Buto nak mampus.

became one of them people who bring their pets to waterfront (desa park) to show em off (lol), ‘cept not really cos Mocha and I are just chilling in the car while his mommy’s on a quick run to get him his diapers n litter :blobfoxcat:
I'm gon lose my mind once it's possible to get and play #MGS 4 on PC. I miss it so much and I don't have my PS3 anymore and haven't bothered getting one :(
We're back!!!
RE: @sakurajima@sakurajima.moe
Oh wow, I guess there's work being done on bringing back the Oxygen theme to #KDE Plasma? I've never used/not been familiar with Oxygen but it looks kinda like #Apple 's old #macOS or even Liquid Glass and I super dig it compared to the flat designs we have today on #Linux. Exciting.
edit: there's some parts that look like classic #Windows instead, and some of its icons do look a bit... industrial rather than friendly imo but still, a nice, inspiring design overall rather than boring and dull.

Kesian la my Mocha. He has to wear them neck/cone collars, n bcos of that we prolly need to keep him indoors too for a while (as much as possible?) until he recovers. He has no idea what's going on..
Does #KDE Plasma support setting up fingerprints for auth in their settings natively, does it require a not-installed-by-default package if so? Tryna see if it's possible to get fingerprint auth on my #ArchLinux#EndeavourOS PC - and see what type of hardware I need that'll be supported.
My baby, Mocha needs to fast tonite - cos he might be getting neutered tmr xD
People in the UK don't use AC - and shame those who do, even in extreme heatwave (and people have died bcos of it, esp elderlies) just bcos it's bad for the environment? Wow. I'm genuinely amazed lol (and worried at the same time). That's pretty unthinkable for someone who lives in AC (almost) 24/7. Shame on me, I guess.
tipping culture in the US is so fucking disgusting and third world behaviour, ngl - thank fuck we have none of that
I didn’t notice how quickly my cat’s drink from his water fountain gets so cold so quickly by being in an AC room. Not an issue when he was an outdoor cat, since his fountain would be outdoors. How do people, especially those living in cold countries, keep the water in ‘regular’ room temp? I tried putting warm water but istg it got cold pretty instantly too despite having AC set to only like ~28, 27.
edit: oh but googling says it’s fine that they’re cold and cats love that. really? i just thought its an issue cos sometimes my cat coughs after drinking from the (clean) fountain
FMT has always been pretty shit n nbd la but seeing how clearly they're paid gov lapdogs today, putting out 2 videos in one day (in both lang) shitting on Rafizi "incredibly subtly" (lmao) - it's a good time to say bye bye, never again.

this might be a problematic take but istg old ladies are so… insufferable n irritating. as someone who gets overstimulated/overwhelmed pretty easily my lord, my patience gains xp so much whenever ive to deal w old ladies’ shenanigans (they’re fine when they’re fine). never an issue w ur typical uncles. i legit dk how their husbands can suffer thru that :))
ok the last time I tried the #AirPods Pro 3 at the #Apple Store... it was pretty shit (compared to my APP1) - the concern I had abt comfort was immediately gone cos it was just as comfortable (if not more), but the transparency/noise cancelling mode was awful (which is amazing on APP1), and the sound was meh.
but i guess that was a fluke cos i tried it out again today, knowing i'll be getting them anyway (cos my wife wants my APP1 - which is still perfect to this day even after more than 5 years, battery life included, crazy), and my experience was completely the opposite. The sound was marvelous, transparency mode was as good if not better, it also has Adaptive mode which the APP1 does not (so i'll have to test it out for longer to see how it works), and the noise cancellation too was excellent.
I think the poor exp I had first time trying it out months ago could be boiled down to how absolutely cramped the Apple Store was on that day. It was full too today, but not as full and def not as loud. All in all, I'm excited to get it - been a while since I spent money on audio gear (something I used to do quite a lot). I cld've just got them from the Apple Store physically, but smart buyers know to always get em from #Shopee lol.

every time i finish a cycling session, i don’t feel my junk for a few mins. completely numb in that whole area. surely dats not by design lol.
#KDE 's #Gwenview 'sidebar features', esp Annotate, could really, really gain from some extra love. Some features being buggy is one thing, but the amount of times I've seen people use it to annotate and then miss to save it, losing their edits completely, simply bcos of its confusing separate window just to annotate and its placements of buttons etc. is just not ideal.
im at a loss tryna figure out a way to tell my cat to poop if he wants to be let out and have his freedom for the day >:((
i havent seen his poop in 3 days aghhh. i hope in those 3 days, he did poop outside, but today i wanna see his poop before i let him out.
It's been this way forever n idk why #OBS allows disabling a source on #Windows, but doesn't on #Linux. Why? Pretty stupid that I always have to completely delete my Camera source from OBS before getting on calls on e.g. a browser while having OBS open in the background, cos OBS is holding my cam hostage eventho I'm not using it or have it in the foreground or wtv. On Windows this was easily solvable by simply disabling the source - tho I've noticed since years ago when I migrated to Linux that it's just not a thing. I wonder if it's a Linux limitation, explaining why OBS does not implement it - or OBS just doesn't for no reason.
My Mocha always makes the saddest 'cries' asking to be let out whenever we bring him into our room xD He loves coming into the house, but he clearly wants to be outdoors too most of the time. Idk if he'd ever be more 'chill' about staying inside. Tbf he is 'chill' when he's inside and very easy to take care of, but he's also not gonna stop periodically asking u to be let out, or try to bolt whenever the door's open.
Seeing how the #KDE #Dolphin bug of not being able to paste from clipboard when creating a folder/file right from Dolphin UNLESS the text ure pasting is copied from Dolphin itself (so freaking weird) has continued to exist for months, and needing to work around it every single time by creating the dirs/files from the terminal like a caveman, I'm almost tempted to create a service menu to create folder/file which prompts for a text input you could then paste into... but one, that sounds really stupid and two, who knows, maybe that'd be broken too lol.
#terraform is amazing holy f (lololol). i use it for work now, since evetg's on cloud, but i wonder if it can be incorporated/used for managing #homelab s too... prolly not?
This family is contributing big time to introducing Malaysia to these folks in the US - who would've thunk CKT but especially Sirap Bandung wld be such a hit in America lol

im going on a trip to Penang soon n im quickly tryna find a way to feed Mocha remotely - the feeder will be outdoors (by the porch) since Mocha's an outdoor #cat. My biggest concern is leaving the food out in the bowl with no way to close/retract it, since that'll just cause ants to come flooding - maybe make the food masuk angin too. Any #pet feeder suggestions?
Loveeeee and so tempted by the new #Framework 13 Pro Laptop - it's literally upgraded from everything I love about them before, AND addressed all of the shortcomings they had, as someone spoiled by #Apple 's #MacBook Pros and such, including: haptic trackpad, nice screen, BEAUTIFUL KEYBOARD with no #Windows logo or cringey fonts/typography/legends, GREAT battery life (on #Intel at least?), BEAUTIFUL CNC-machined aluminium chassis in black, and all of the ports are #Thunderport/#USB4 capable with their trademark configurable expansion slots. That haptic trackpad is BIG for me, none of them cheapo Windows trackpads please. Lastly, ofc, it officially and proactively supports #Linux out of the box which is biiiig.
The only thing holding me back is the price, which honestly isn't that bad considering the amazing, niche thing you're getting (and my configuration was esp expensive bcos I NEED that 64GB of RAM on Linux, I know too well 32GB wouldn't cut it lol), and also the fact that they don't ship to Malaysia. I could ship it to SG as I've family members, friends, colleagues there but for wtv reason (even before shipping/duties, I think) my config cost ~2K MYR more vs their US pricing. I also have colleagues in the US that I could theoretically pre-order and send them to... but nah, I wouldn't wanna trouble them lol. I've long requested for Fw to ship their products here, but that was yeaaars ago and it hasn't happened so I wouldn't count on it. Same case with #Valve 😴
Anyway, this thing's gonna sell like hotcakes and I wish I could hop on it too :')

RE: @lowyat@mastodon.social
I'm sorry but if you're Malaysian and you claim a majority of the people around you are either excited/optimistic abt AI rather than the other way round - you're probably old cos it def ain't that at fuckin all in my age group and below lol. Not saying these people don't use AI at all, but they sure ain't positive/optimistic abt them whatsoever - how could you be, when it's not only built on theft but also, 1) the biggest threat to job security in decades, and worst of all 2) the single most hyped, glazed shit of all time by boomers lmao (which is universally annoying i bet).
