Run most of my containers on a synology 1621+. Immich, paperless, grafana-based monitoring stack, etc. Upgraded memory from 8GB to 32GB and it’s a night and day difference. Enough that I’m probably not going to move forward with adding nvme storage for a cache. Wish I did it sooner.

Added donetick to the collection recently and the kids have really latched onto the points system and got them more engaged with helping around the house. Note that if you self host, the password reset function doesn’t work. You have to update the hash in the databased directly. Not a big deal but it really shouldn’t require that level of effort.

I use scrypted to pipe Unifi POE cameras into HomeKit. Not really a fire, but I’m having issues with notification timing be longer than it used to be.

And lastly, a very very different turn of events for me. I’m not a developer, but I recently did an experiment to see what AI could do in helping me create a web app that could be used to scan all the physical books we have. A catalog of sorts for us to be able to look up what we have by genre, bookshelf location, etc. 100% vibe coding. Took a few hours of back and forth but we have something working. Not sure I’ll ever let the code see the light of day outside my network, but it did help me learn a tiny bit about coding.

Straight out of a Landman episode. They seem happy :)

I recently read that the Toyota Crown is assembled in Japan. Has there been any hints of tariffs there?

lol who downvotes this?

That community just got revived! Good timing.

Well they ended up going from trump to no-vote. Feels bitter sweet, but the upside is we still had very constructive conversations and I’m taking that as a win.

Appreciate it, and the warning too. This family member and I had a long chat through the early morning hours recently. We had civil exchange of differing ideas and concerns, and both agreed we would pick our top three problems on our mind for the election and research them together over the weekend. I have to give it a shot.

Illegal immigration and crime is one of their big items, so trying to learn more.

Can someone help with data refuting immigrants as source of crime? I’ve got a family member who believes this and I’m trying to come with an objective response.

Gangster Capitalism has a great podcast series on Liberty University for those interested.

Feel like an idiot here, but what’s the bottom one?

Same, except I lift with my teenage son and daughter. We got a power rack in the garage and now they drag me out to it with them. We’re all feeling better about ourselves!

Do you know where I can source the domains?

Commas, please!

And welcome :)

Sitting here reading about sail boats being easier to maneuver in harbors cause of bow thrusters, after having dealt with major prop walk just the other day in high winds while docking. The trick is keeping water moving past your rudder. Once your down to a knot or under things get dicey. Even with thrusters.

Phew, that was close

Harder and harder to know when it’s implied these days. Is there a /s involved here?

Ok Yogi

Counting commits is exactly the type of stuff starting to happen. linearb.io for example. I’m seeing this used as a way to rank dev value under the guise of “we’re just trying to help teams improve throughput”

My phone says it’s a Rose Spirea.

A new thing we’re trying is buying the whole turkey breast and slicing it ourselves. In my area Costco sells a well sized piece. I slice up a bit in container for immediate use and take the remaining slices and vacuum seal them. Has worked well so far. I’m sure there is still some risk here with contamination but seems less?
