Dystopian thought:
It is only a matter of time before AI notetakers like Fathom/Granola start being used in IRL conversations and eventually non-work IRL conversations.
Hrm I think I’m gonna try setting up Coolify on a raspberry pi before the end of the year.
I want to self host stuff, but I am lazy and want a groovy dev experience. Feel like it should mix well.
The #ffconf FOMO is real. Hope everyones having a great time down there anf fingers crossed I can make it next year!
I snapped and bought one of those overpriced over the shoulder tote bags.
And its THE BEST thing. Should’ve done it ages ago.
Honestly, most of my rhythms of yearly life are synchronised to Hard Lines’ seasonal coffees.
Set phasers to stun 😍
Ok I’m not a politics guy. But what I do care a lot about is fonts and design.

Obscenely excited for this

Trying to get SMB share to mount permanently is almost impossible.

Such a shame there were never any official Led Zeppelin Guitar Hero or Rock Band tracks
Halo on a PS5
What a time to be alive
Fixed one issue with rockbox on me iPod(turning off if you press the hold switch on while the screen is dimmed) but now there’s an issue with copying files to iFlash.
The saga continues.
This font has any% glitchless speed ran itself from “Oh thats cool” to “If I see this font one more time…”
Giving Bebas Neue early 2010s energy.
I really think when my personal Macbook Pro M1 eventually packs it in. I’m gonna switch to a mac mini.
I kinda like the idea of my home computer being in one static place.
How have I avoided reading Hellboy all these years. It’s fucking great.
