I was today years old when I learned that many people don’t have an inner monologue. The human body is so fascinating.

Oddly enough, if I don’t take my ADHD meds, I tend to talk to myself out loud a lot because my inner monologue gets kind of “muffled” in the “noise” and I rely on it very heavily to think through.

I imagine being a high school teacher sometimes feels like being Margaret Dumont in a Marx Brothers movie.

I have a rule that “Nothing will be automated that cannot be manually overridden.”

Well, actually it’s my wife’s rule but it’s a good rule nonetheless. As a result, there’s a big panel full of relays in the basement that is the “last mile” for anything climate control or security related.

There have been a few times when it’s been handy. Like when the exhaust fan isn’t working and I don’t want to debug the ESP32 controller today so I just flip it over to “Manual”.

Highly location dependent. We have useable cell service in our house but Internet over 5G is slow.

Corporate America over here committing piracy en masse.

In my neighborhood you get a choice between coax or nothing.

being exposed to too much AC

“AC” as in Air Conditioning??

Somebody’s gonna have to go back and get a shitload of nails.

Mismanaged. Subsidizing shortfalls in the general fund using funds from the electric utility.

TLDR: The town owns its own electric utility and mismanaged the utility’s funds to the point of leaving the distribution system in severe disrepair.

Puts me straight to sleep.

I’ve worked at places where we repurposed old CAT3 cables for network connecting printers, desk phones, environmental sensors, etc. Rare occasions where 10Mbps works just fine. Using that to connect a PC would suck.

Oh yeah? Well, my upcoming AI models pose a higher risk of enabling the discovery of the location of the long-lost Ark of the Covenant, which would [allegedly] make ones armies invincible and impervious to biological weapons.

Invest now!

I’m gonna go with “yes”.

I use Jellyfin with FinAmp for Android. Even supports offline caching.

Because everyone should live in a poorly constructed cookie cutter house and get into petty fights with their homeowners association the way God intended.

I miss having a Jacuzzi in my master bath. For some reason it made reading more enjoyable. It’s like it provided enough sensory stimulation to keep the “squirrels” occupied that I could soak in it and read a book without feeling bored. I love to read but I’ve done very little of it since I sold that house 5 years ago.

Jellyfin, Immich, and Paperless-ngx are three of the apps I use the most but you do whatever works best for you. That’s half the advantage of self hosting. You can have a solution that’s custom tailored to your needs.

“I prefer animals that shit in a box and think of me solely as their slave.” --Statements made by the utterly deranged

Same genius who forced all his own employees back into the office. An incomprehensibly stupid maneuver by an organization that literally owes its success to people working from home.
