I asked a friend with a window cleaning business and they charge about $10 a panel. At that rate I'm tempted to try it but I'm not sure if it's even worth that.

Haven't used DBOS but use Temporal at current job and used it at previous job as well so I have about 1.5 years under me now. I also run it at home to handle some home automation t…

Last weekend I bought my wife a bike off marketplace. It was in good condition but was missing one of the internal cable routing grommets. I gave Claude pictures of the pill-shaped…

But how many of those miles are spent hanging out in the left lane of a highway while other drivers, having to pass on the right, send death stares to the person in the passenger s…

I've been running filestash in front of sftpgo (using a combination of s3 and nfs for file backends) for a couple years now and have been very happy with it.

I've been out of the windows world for about 10 years or so, but before that I was the one tasked at my company with streamlining our installers from a CI/CD perspective. I do agre…

GoControl has a zwave thermostat that works well. Has no smarts of it's own (behaves like a pretty standard thermostat with heat, cool, and fan settings) but can be changed via hom…

I only use NATS as part of my home automation architecture but I have found it very nice to use and would have been happy to use it at work if we weren't so entrenched in AWS propr…

I think the eink focus is mainly in the UI as it avoids scrolling in favor of pages and tabs.

Gap's soft jeans have been my go to for the past couple years. I could sleep in them they're so comfortable and are more durable than Levi which I wore for many years before.

At least where I live, most families are moving to new development areas to get more square footage per dollar. So the schools in the established part of town are seeing declining …

My 3 legged heeler can still run laps around me. But if you can keep them busy, they are very loyal and can understand a crazy amount of words/signs. My previous heeler went deaf a…

Two antennas get married. The wedding was ok but the reception was great!

I'm approaching a year of exclusively gaming on Linux with very few hiccups. Most of it being on Steam Deck, but also switched to Bazzite on desktop.

We do this at current job for most of our internal tools. Not a setup I would choose on my own, but serviceable. Using a simple handler function that uses mangum [0] to translate t…

I don't have any social media and don't travel that often. When I went on a trip this past fall and saw a very high percentage of people sucked in to these short form videos at any…

This. I have been social media free for many years now and want to encourage others to do the same. Engagement algorithms, selling influence to the highest bidder, and misinformati…

I run pinchflat [0] to automate yt-dlp and file management behind the scenes. Also can integrate with sponsorblock to remove in-video ads. 0 - https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchf…

There are sections of trail that I would almost always OTB (over the bars) on when attempted on my old 1998 hard tail. After finally upgrading in 2018, I almost never go OTB becaus…

The startup I was at previously laid most people off in early 2021. I spent 2 days applying to a bunch of jobs that seemed interesting and spent the following 3 weeks with a pretty…

My previous job was specifically to do glue work for the engineering team and it was my favorite job I've ever had by a mile. I loved doing things to smooth the other engineers job…

I was going to say a steam deck as well. I've beaten a ton of RPGs that I never had the desire to play at my desk, but are great in 20-30 minute bursts here and there.

Similar. 2 kids, 2 cargo e-bikes, 1 car. My wife has over 3k miles and I'm just under 2k (I work from home every day). We live in Colorado and bundle the kids up in ski clothes, an…

I'm hoping this is sarcasm. The people I've worked with who are highly pedantic wreck team dynamics and rarely deliver anything of value.

I spend 95% of my work time doing backend python microservices for internal tools, 5% on terraform for the infrastructure, and 0.0001% of my time building frontends for these tools…
