mosh is awesome for ssh over iffy connections

Things like "What is today's date" used to be enough (would usually return the date that the model was trained). I recently did things like current events, but LLMs that can search…

I don't like that I can't connect to a RHEL 8 machine (that doesn't have a subscription enabled yet) without buying the Pro version of XPipe ($50). Definitely not in the open-sourc…

syncthing blows. Don't trust your data to it. Tons of posts on the forums about "out of sync" and no real answers other than "delete the database and start over". I've given syncth…

My concept for a modular shelter: http://badcheese.com/blog/2024-02-02-ideas-for-modular-homel...

Take long lunches and get something done around the house. You're working at home. Might as well make it worth while. Do the dishes. Do the laundry. Wash your car. It doesn't have …

Fire Spez. Pay the people making the good apps to actually maintain their apps and keep up with the site's improvements, so there are multiple good apps, not just one crappy one. I…

I'm 55. I plan on working until 70 (that'll probably be the minimum retirement age for full social security by then anyway). In January of 2038, the year I retire, the unixtime bug…

Maybe the acquisition will change the nummber of devices to > 2??

I've used AWS for 12+ years. In the old days, we had one jumbo account that we separated by tags for projects and billing. It was a pain. Then about 5 years ago, AWS suggested that…

Switch to AWS. Store stuff in S3, use S3 select (SQL for querying data in S3). Write some lambda stuff for your "app" side of the web site. Your costs will be next to nothing.

It's not just chat. It hooks into dozens of MS products (planner, excel, ...), Office365, Azure and a bunch of different services. It has to be compliant with government and Milita…
