Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.

Born at 323 ppm. Living at the crossroads of the Butlerian Jihad and Idiocracy.

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.

Left my wife at home and went downtown to let another woman grope my butt.

The massage was great!

If you're going to eliminate switching the clocks twice a year, why why why would you switch to permanent daylight saving time instead of standard time? #RhetoricalQuestion #DoNotAnswer

@scott@sfba.social I use the login portal reverse proxy to do some forwarding of http/https things to various docker stacks. The native synology stuff handles the http/https redirect and the tls certs. This instance, my photos instance, and other things run fine that way. You might want to look at the various howto guides at mariushosting.com which is where I gleaned some of my knowledge from on synology specifics. Caveat Emptor, I am a retired sysadmin/network-admin/storage-admin and have that experience to lean on to take the things from Marius etc and make them behave the way I want to.

@teresa_athome@mastodon.online Delta is the front runner so far, other than I have all the email ports tied up already on the single internet facing ip I have available... but let me dig into it further. I would want to run its purpose built mail server back end for reasons and maybe I can tell the client to use an alternate port or something. Thanks!

Looking for a simple self hosted chat system for non technical end users. We got everyone off FB messaging to sms but the android peeps have old devices that have the blurry low res image issue receiving from iPhone users. I have a Synology nas and have tried syno chat (clunky) and rocket chat via docker (too many bells and whistles and overly complex onboarding of end users) Suggestions? Anything that can spin up in a docker instance, I will try. #selfhositng #chat

I think I'll keep the 1945 Parker Vacumatic in Emerald Pearl inked up, despite it being the quickest to dry out and not the best writer either. I just think it looks neat. #FountainPens

Not sure why I had five fountain pens inked up and sat on my desk for months. They of course all dried up. Some of them even evaporated most of the ink that was in their converter unit. A bit of water on the nib and feed got them temporarily working again. I should clean them out soon and just keep one inked at a time. Maybe also not ignore it for months. #fountainpens

I love when companies email me changes to their privacy policy or that they now offer a unified login across their various properties they have bought up. Gives me the opportunity to ask them to delete my account and all of it's related data.

@ZenHeathen@beige.party Unwinding something you internalized mistakenly (or the thing changed at some point but you weren't aware of it) can be a bit humbling especially the first time. Owning it and going ... oops, well let's find out how that happened ... is something most people do not do. It's hard to unset a fact that lodged oddly in the brain.

I admin a random Jetsons screenshot account ( @jetsons@mastodon.social ) with some usually very incorrect alt-text by an llm model run locally on my posting machine. Part of the charm is those off-the-wall alt-text descriptions. Also the closed caption overlay often is off by a few frames and is non-sequitur itself at times. The damage of training the llm was already done before the model was distributed to the general public. I'm posting screen shots of a thing I have zero rights to. Perhaps the combination of bizarro alt-text makes it transformative in some way. I'm frankly less concerned about the unauthorized screen shots than the llm use. I wonder if I should just stop the artificial idiocy description part of the process an just have the bot post description-less screen shots? Having the llm model involved is still using and endorsing the use of such. There's far too many screen shots to do by hand (thousands and thousands), and also I am not good at writing descriptions myself.

@philiph@hachyderm.io @miketheman@hachyderm.io My team tried to do the OKR stuff when it was first introduced to our company and thereafter just did hand wavy we are too busy to do this stuff for the remaining four or five years I was working there. Other departments were more successful, barely, but "it/ops had better things to do" as I more than once said directly to the CEO. We delivered projects on time etc etc and didn't need to be slowed down by the hr pushed nonsense.

ipv6 : just say no Every once in a while I attempt to set up ipv6 using consumer level equipment and it invariably works well until it suddenly doesn't and things need rebooting. Also, complicates the self hosted services way more than I am prepared to spend mental capacity figuring it out and keeping it running.

@ZenHeathen@beige.party I've become more aware of an interest fade in progress in recent years but no actual awareness of falling off the cliff. Things just get put down one day and never picked up again for months. Clutter blindness means I don't even see them during those first few not using months. Then I see the thing, and might pick it up again right then or it's the kernel of an idea I should use it again soon-ish that may or may not grow into the yep gonna do this thing again. Also, not official or self diagnosed ADHD but probably have some of that mixed with also not official or self diagnosed autism spectrum. Just .. Hey I see some of that in me, interesting, ok what's next.

At the start of the pandemic, I had already working from home for about six years and was very comfortable with the video meetings. The majority of the company was new to it though, and when I attended some meeting outside of my usual group it was a revelation for many that you could have fun with it. Most didn't know about having custom backgrounds etc. #sysadmin #videoconference #IDGAF #decorum #hijinx

Back when I worked as a sysadmin, I had to put in some scripts to log out idle ssh sessions on certain servers.

I decided to have a bit of fun with it, and oh boy were there ever a bunch of laughs and a few WTF when people unburied a forgotten terminal window.

#GenX #EarlyRetirement #Retired #Unix #SysAdmin ​:blinking_cursor:​ #YQL #Lethbridge #Alberta #Canada 🇨🇦 Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim. Born at 323 ppm. Living at the crossroads of the Butlerian Jihad and Idiocracy. 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.

Feeling like I’m a project manager today. Getting quotes from moving companies, selecting one, coordinating with them and two vintage furniture stores that share one storefront in another city, as to what schedules work etc. We are putting a vintage stereo on consignment with one store and buying a different one from the other, getting them shifted there and back. Plus reviewing some post African safari beach resort options for next year and getting the ball rolling with the safari tour host to lock the dates in and payments etc. And other things. That’s enough adulting for today. #FirstWorldProblems
