New gizmo: Aranet4 CO2 monitor.
I often forget to open windows for days while WFH, Then feel awfully tired and don't understand why. This thing cannot open the windows, but is an 👀 opener for sure.

I dunno man. It's like some maniac in our country is forcing them to install an apk on their phones either to track them before an election or just for personal profit and these people think, I don't know what they think, anyway, I think you get it at this point.
8yo is playing with HTML. He recently discovered <b> tag by misspelling <br>, and asked me why I mentioned about <strong>, but not this one. He assumed I also didn't know. So then I blew his mind with the forbidden knowledge of <marquee>.
You can imagine what happened next. 😂
I'm not leaving Twitter soon. A lot of people I care about haven't moved yet. Also, there's fun in ridiculing Musk in his own platform. 😂

Finally, page translations in Firefox (officially from Mozilla)!
It's even better (privacy focused) than Chrome because the translation happens locally in the browser. 🎉
There's no reason not to use Firefox anymore. 🥳
PSA: if you are allergic to pollen-
1) Ikea VINDSTYRKA can measure indoor air pollution by monitoring PM2.5 level.
2) An air purifier with true HEPA filter can filter the PM2.5 particles at home. Levoit Core 300 is one example, but there are plenty.
I was thinking about getting a paid subscription of Miro for organizing personal projects, but then I found the Freeform app and ordered an Apple Pencil instead.
Ended up spending more, but I guess it was less friction than getting another subscription.
In hindsight, I should've went with Intel NUC or a custom build PC for the "minilab".
It seems nobody on the internet knows what proprietary SATA cable minisforum uses for HM80 minipc, so it's running 2x4TB SSDs in a zfs pool based on hopes and prayers.
But boy, do I love it!
Wow,
@MSMakeCode
is pretty awesome for kids!
Imagine being able to create your own arcade games, download them to real devices, take that to school and blow your friends' minds.
I especially love how it makes it easier to transition from block based to text based coding. 😍
Kid went to Futurium today and made his first 3d models. Pretty sure he won't be sleeping tonight 😂
These guys are amazing. I heard they'll organize the lab tomorrow too.
Wow, this really happened!
I previously applied for v2 API access & they immediately rejected me. It was not even possible to re-apply, you are just banned if the application was rejected once.
Now it took 2 mins to get Essential level access, 5 mins for Elevated access. 🎉
People who are frustrated with Raspberry Pi 5 not getting more than 8GB RAM, what the hell they run in their Pi? Or is it because of the new PCIe that opens new possibilities that need that much memory? I can't think of anything though. The CPU becomes a bottleneck sooner.
Bullshit!
Complex systems are complex because of the constraints they're in. Your chief engineer can only build something better when they are out of your enterprise.
But then again, that'll not fullfil your specific needs, maybe someone's who's requirements are simpler.
Want: ChatGPT for incident management, with integration to the observability and alerting tools. You wake up in the middle of the night with an alert and this thing can tell you where to look, shows relevant runbook etc. Later, helps you with writing the postmortem too.
What I realized, working for a company that has a Works Council/Union (Betriebsrat in Germany) is the best perk you can ask for, especially in this economy.
As somebody that wrote open source software for almost his entire life, a big thank you to Prusa for sticking with this model for the most part: you are pushing the whole field forward. However, dear 3D printing community, there is only one way to say Thank You: get a Prusa.
I'm following several newsletters related to Berlin/DE and

has been consistently good, especially relatable for people working in tech. I sometimes even get news about the company I work for, which I missed from inside. 😅
⚡️Vercel v0 is now open to everyone. And It's incredible!
You can generate UI with texts or images in matter of seconds. And people are already finding amazing ways to use it.
6 examples:
Is this going to be the new normal for search interfaces everywhere? Seems expensive to maintain. Useful though.
Also didn't know about pgvector. How's it different from dedicated vector databases?
This maker (

Is there any app to track tech conferences? I want to find great confs based on topics/locations, track their stages, like when they start selling tickets, when it's happening, when they release videos online etc. Much like how I find and track tv shows.
Kudos to Apple for making boring things adventurous 🧗♀️
(Even those hackintosh days in the past with a random machine with random drivers were less bumpy)
@GergelyOrosz
Do they mention anything about their data retention period for the in-house Prometheus? I guess any insight from teams that could manage to deal with it at scale would be an interesting read.
@Carnage4Life
I don't know that that's a bad thing, though. Being able to remove yourself from a system that you never agreed to be a part of seems like a fairly basic thing. I'm not suggesting that GDPR is the right way to go about it, but I think the intent is reasonable.
@boristane
What do you mean? Local development is not the nicest experience if you have to rely on spawning the whole universe just to see if your service is working right. Nothing to do with tracing. Tracing helps mostly in production, shift-right testing.
@boristane
Ah, now I understand. I've used Telepresence for that. Local service runs locally, and Telepresence helps setting DNS, routing etc so that traces go to the same place as they go from other services running in the cloud (K8s).
Went down the rabbit hole of using multi-gig ethernet on MacBook (for utilizing the 10GbE NAS fully). Why is this still so hard?
10GbE: This is insane
5GbE: not truly 5GbE yet
2.5GbE: Only practical option

You know what, Max Planck once said, "science advances one funeral at a time".

It was Max Planck.

Meanwhile my Mastodon host is down for maintenance work:
... and I'm not even annoyed. The quirkiness gives the vibe of the good old webmaster role from the nineties. Bring it back! 😉

I use Tusky on Android, it doesn't have the feature to follow hashtags. It's new in Mastodon v4. I guess it'll eventually come to apps. I followed them from web client and now can see them in home using anything I use, including Tusky.
But Fedilab app supports it already.

@diebestimmerin
Same. It's a new building so heat insulation is good. However, as the "tragedy of the commons" goes, people keep forgetting to keep the building gate closed and the common and shared bill for heating the corridors and stairways is gonna cheer everyone up next year for sure.
@rednafi
True. I do hope though that at least people who started there will stay active after the initial hype. I agree with the reasoning of these things to exist, but I don't know if ActivityPub/Mastodon is the answer, I'm curious to see the results of this social experiment.
The product recipe for this should be following the extension model. Allow external vendors to integrate AI to your system.
Don't own the hallucinations.

Directly going to a Bürgeramt to ask for an appointment worked better for us. My wife just went today and managed to get an appointment in two weeks.

Dang it, I saw your reply before my coffee and thought it was from the dino, haha! If you are looking for one, you can use . The efficiency of the design choices is a bit unproven, but sometimes it's also about awareness of various neurodiversity conditions

It seems like the interest rate adjustment is the cleanse that the industry needed.
It just sucks that it led to all the layoffs. It's almost like the wrong people are getting punished for other's gambling habits.
@rednafi
@jasonalba
EU got a lot less affected by layoffs because of laws and workers' rights make it harder to do it in the EU.
Otherwise, recruiter outreach in LinkedIn got very low in the last 6 months here as well. It's not just in the US. Hiring freezes also affect people actively searching.

I agree, it was rather conservative. At that time I had no idea that runway can be measured like that 😄
To be fair, I was in a desperate situation too. I was willing to take any risk, and I did.
And probably they took a risk by investing in me too.
It's business after all.
