Fedi photographers: would I regret getting this second hand Yashica camera?
I got into carrying a physical film camera with b&w film, but the previous re-loaded single use is just falling apart. In my research this seemed like a good, and no-fuss option, and it is the kinda shape and size I could just take with me...
But...
What do I know? Don't want to be a total rube 🫠
Design and usability meets! Maybe this way I can dial in the right avocado 🥑 ripeness!
Seems like it is a COVID day, but much milder than my wife who didn't get the refresher shot last year.
For me it's like a mild flu and a bit of cough. But still can think, and ☕ smells ☕.
For her, it's so far 3rd day of knockout, ache, cough, no taste or smell...
Our congee and chicken soup consumption is through the roof!

I am definitely a citizenship hoarder!
"Gosh, we made it to the end of today, and it's almost #Caturday. Phew!"
Upstream the change you want to see in the world! 🎧️

I'm having a new look here, an updated profile picture.

From a post on HN:
> - Vibe coding (with Claude Desktop, nobody is using Replit or any of the others) is the new Excel for non tech people.
That is what I start to see too.
Except, with Excel there were maybe fewer people going "ok, now, engineer, can you productionise it?🚀"
Or optimistically I guess that is a useful skill too (to acquire): being a good "mechanic" to go from vibe to deploy.
Let's see how these sorts of requests will affect my will to live :)
I need to have fewer unfinished projects... Or rather fewer considered-in-progress projects...
I have way too many books I'm the process of reading, too many software contributions that are halfway done, too many things I've just started to learn, coffee meets that I've just started to plan and haven't had yet....
The cognitive load is real, going nowhere, fast. 🫠
Spotted @ljs in the Linux books Humble Bundle today :)

#Caturday cat is thinking inside the box. Big things to think in a big box.
A little baking, some opening of the oven doors, and a bit of Newton's Law of Cooling in action :)
Validating my toaster oven's temperature accuracy and stability... A MAX31855-based k-type thermocouple reader, a RPi3, a quick revival of @adafruit's deprecated library, MQTT to send between machines, and mqttui to have a peek whether I got things more-or-less working...
And the result that the "225°C setting roughly means 170°C temperature"... No wonder my roast were not a-roasting recently! 🙀
Today's braindump, inspired by switching my main search engine to Kagi @kagihq documenting times when some friction did me good!

Linux users unaffected.
My Watch Later list on Youtube got above 1000 videos recently.
I was considering a Watch Later Bankruptcy: removing all and starting from scratch.
In the end I'm trying a "closed door policy" of have to watch or delete every one of them before adding anything new. So far 40 down, 960 more to go...
So far I've spent more than a week setting up my new @frameworkcomputer on @archlinux It's slowly getting to the point when it's usable - I gues it's par for the course, and that's why I get a new laptop only about once per decade... 😬
From the remaining issues, still HiDPI, Bluetooth, and power management remains the main thing.
But yeah, I hope soon I'll remember what do I want to _do_ do, rather than just administer my tools...
I've been setting up @archlinux on my new laptop (hello @frameworkcomputer) and took a detour to write about it... -- Installing Arch Linux as an incremental game

Hyper-specialisation coming to all roles, aye? This came in through my LinkedIn job alerts: AI Waifu Machine Learning Engineer.
I do wonder, the AI is waifu, the engineer needs to be waifu, or... ? 🤔
I guess "taking a mental health day" ended up binge watching sci-fi with a cat sleeping on my lap. I probably call that a win.
