From two separate people announcing their change in job status…
First this:
From today, I'll be cheering the talented team on from outside the org.
and then this:
It's rare you get to work with so many highly skilled peers in one place, but I'll be now cheering from the sidelines.
Copied each other? New LinkedIn-Nadsat I'm not aware of?
maybe i'll start by going to this event on friday and at least see if i can get my blood moving a bit. we'll see what this person's crew is like. if i'm feeling extremely brave, i might ask them if they have use for a percussionist (i used to play in a djembe ensemble in college and it was my favorite thing...but i don't have a drum, i only have shekere and bells and stuff). ugh. what's worse than talking to strangers? talking to strangers when i am trying to get myself involved in whatever it is they're doing.

i think i need to figure out a way to do something with music and movement and in a group setting.
i haven't been going to gamelan since i started school, and that's actually been good. i was burned out on it and it felt like a chore. i was happy to finish the last concert and haven't felt like i wanted to go back.
but i think i'm missing a music/movement/group thing in my life.
here are some ideas:
1) most ideally, i'd love to be able to play shekere with a group that plays afro-cuban or conga or fusion or funk or whateva. i love the shekere, but it's really only fun for me when played in a group. but i have no idea how i'd go about finding a group like that...
2) roller disco. there's no skate rink let alone roller disco in my area. i wish there was.
3) dance classes for out-of-shape adults who currently only know how to vibe dance. i am *certain* this does not exist in my area.
it's just really hard in a rural area where everyone is spread out and already has their own thing going on... most of the dance crews here are hula halau or for the youths. this is definitely one of those times when i miss the bay (or any big city)...you can always find a niche crew in a big city.
Maybe this RAM and hard disk price craziness is enough to get people thinking about optimizing what they have.
I want more cores in my homelab, but maybe if I move my Docker VM to LXCs I'll be OK?
That old i7-4790 still holds its own, maybe I should throw Linux on it and see how it plays?

After some questioning of my autism self-diagnosis, I've decided that okay, fine, I'm autistic. It's better to overexplain than to underexplain.
I haven't watched this yet but it looks like exciting news for Starfield content coming April 7th!
Mac Librarian is so adorable and awesome I wanna be her bf but she is way outta my league in several dimensions 😞
I don't believe in humans, the only evidence of their existence is all blurry, clearly-faked photos and videos
Вы видели на ХэдХантере объявления типа: «Требуется шпалоукладчик на БАМ, а ещё там есть котик»?
Если написать «До ближайшего посёлка 130 км», то это пахнет смертью, но если добавить «по красивой дороге через горный перевал», то помирать уже не так страшно.

I slept from about 5 PM to 9 PM. That's the longest consecutive hours I've slept in a few days.
Honestly I think it's kinda legitimately disturbing that the illegal 4K77/4K80/4K83 are the literal, sole way to watch the theatrical release of Star Wars with a transfer that isn't standard definition and that was done more recently than literally 1993 (for a LaserDisc release)

Turns out, fucking with the fan speed curve for my desktop wasn't a good idea

"When developers say that LLMs make them more productive, you need to keep in mind that *this* is what they’re automating: dysfunction, tampering as a design strategy, superstition-driven coding, and software whose quality genuinely doesn’t matter, all in an environment where rigour is completely absent.
They *are* right. LLMs make work that doesn’t matter easier – it’s all monopolies, subscriptions, VCs, and lock-in anyway – in an industry that doesn’t care, where the only thing that’s measured is some bullshit productivity measure that’s completely disconnected from outcomes."
And don't get me wrong, Mailbox is still a good service. Definitely not anywhere near as cheap as Purelymail, but if you want an email provider that's not on the US, you can do worst than Mailbox. The UI is definitely it's weakest part by far.
If you see this, you would think it's telling you to click where it says "Inbox" and then select from a drop down menu which folder you would like to use. But no good reader, you have to click on the label that says "Select folder" to then get a drop down menu.
If you hover your mouse on top of the "Inbox" box, you get a 🚫 icon on your mouse, which helps to reinforce the idea that you are not allowed to change the folder. I went over this a month ago and gave up on trying to do make rules work, and it was only today I learned this is an UX problem.
