I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.
Smoking is a hell of an addiction. Sitting in a row of seven at a music festival and the innermost five are up to smoke every ten minutes, but usually single or pairs. I’ll forgive the food and drink excursions.
Nah, gave up and left it sitting like that. Probably should pack that up to take to the dump. (except for the serial terminal, that's still useful from time to time)
Cleaning my closet out of stuff that does not fit or is worn out. Two big bags for donation so far, and one for the bin. Guessing there’ll be one or two more bags for donation when I get through the rest.
Seems like I just did this task not too long ago but in reality it was probably 5-8 years ago.
Told the financial advisors the other day to sell off positions in a few tech companies and to never buy into any of the big ai promoters. (Gave a them the list of ai brain rot companies, in case it wasn’t clear to them)
These weren’t a significant portion of our retirement egg but it matters.
I’m beginning to suspect all slick looking websites as being AI generated and more likely being used for nefarious purposes. Hand crafted 90s style would be less suspicious :p
First round of geotagging and general meta tagging on the vacation photos done.
Sure didn't want to be doing this while sick, but we caught a bug on the last part of the time away and oh boy. Doesn't feel like covid but on top of jet lag it's ick.
Plan is to merge in iPhone captures tomorrow, then ranking and winnowing down to candidates for processing into a trip album. Parents visiting in a couple weeks gives some urgency to finishing this off sooner rather than later.
Current Status: Jetlagged at home in Canada, sending backups of photos I took in EU, to offsite cloud backup site in EU. As one does. #sysadmin#OldHabitsDieHard
Bathroom law makers would be clutching their pearls if they visit Europe. Coffee shop I was in earlier today had sinks then three full height unmarked stalls with no gaps anywhere, and urinals around the corner past that.
Civilized.
Except for inaccessibility due to steep flight of stairs down.
Traveling, picked up a cough which I hope is just related to all the pollen at Keukenhof gardens.
Popped into a drug store and navigated the Dutch-only packaging and self serve point of sale to get some cough syrup. Built in translate on iPhone camera mostly works.
Still, even something as straight forward as that has some WTF moments. According to the translation, this cough syrup will improve my driving.
