That time in 2014 when I won a chicken coop in a raffle, but there were no ziptrucks available and it didn't fit in my friend's car - so I biked it home. I just happened to be wearing a #Seattle #DisasterReliefTrials t-shirt at the time.

very ironic to see a slopleader now complaining about "slop grenades" but it is a good term and it is heartening to see a zealot come to his senses https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/shopify-ceo-ai-workplace-staff-horrified-backfire
from the article:
Estimates found workers already waste 3.4 hours a month cleaning up the AI schlock, amounting to a monthly loss of $8.1 million for a workplace with 10,000 employees.

Twig was jealous of his cool aunt Clove, but he's like twice her size and really doesn't fit that well (unlike CLoaf). #CatsOfMastodon

Y'know, at least Twig will just sleep in the crook of my arm or on my legs or something while I work. Erie's like, "IT'S BUTTHOLE TIME" and stands (not sits) with her butt in my face, kneading on my tummy (making holes in my shirt and stomach with her sharp claws). "No work for you!" she says.

@jalefkowit@hachyderm.io It's been extremely funny/depressing to me who has been doing actual journalism lately, and who has just been doing stenography.
My wife & kids are away (the kids at camp, my wife for a conference). As such, I have turned the living room into a proper bike shop. Currently 4 bikes in various states of repair - my wife's road bike, my father-in-law's brand new bike, the 9yo's new bike, and a folding bike. I have a new cassette for my mid-tail bike, too, but I think I'll order new tires first before I replace it. #BikeTooter

Before she moved to the toilet, Erie was sitting on the stairs and refusing to move for my wife. "I think she's mad at me for taking away her box. I'm pretty sure she spends all of her brain power thinking up different ways to be an asshole."
She's definitely our sassiest cat!

Here's our only air filter in the basement, the pc fan #CRBox. The basement is the same raw square footage as the first floor, and is divided up basically the same way (due to the way prior owners had remodeled the first floor to have an open kitchen, etc).
Yes, that is an #AQI of 4. Note that the basement is not particularly air-tight - the windows are leaky and old (we actually have water intrusion through one of them, and ants through another). There's a leaky door.
Some asshole locksmith company attached a STICKER on my front door. An advertisement for their company.

@cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de @DanKhramov@lemmy.world Doesn't even need to be a newer CPU. I'm running Immich on an ancient dell laptop w/ i3-4010U. Not efficient in terms of CPU-per-watt these days, but that i3 chip isn't putting out much heat either.
As far as backups - snapraid sync runs nightly to ensure that accidental deletions or bitrot is caught. Restic backs up to a drive on a separate machine (in a different room of my house). I still need an off-site backup, but the hard drive shortages messed up my plans there..

I like how you respond to someone's email, and gmail is like " Gmail has detected that this message is likely 550-5.7.1 unsolicited mail. To reduce the amount of spam sent to Gmail, this 550-5.7.1 message has been blocked. For more information," and then a link basically telling you to go fuck yourself.

The first floor has the following #CRBox. However, it also has two Coway Airmega AP-1512HH as well. They are too noisy on high, so they run on medium. However, I'm pretty convinced that the CR box is doing the heavy lifting here. But since we spend more time on the main floor than anywhere else in the house, I wanted extra air cleansing (esp for when kids get sick).
That's an AQI of 2. The CO2 monitor shows pretty high CO2 because everything's closed up due to the heat.

@thoughtsofawho@mas.to That fencing cover is a great (and cheap!) idea, I should do that.

The smallest bedroom is more of a closet than a bedroom. A queen-sized bed barely fits. Air leakage is absolutely minimal - it has one outside wall and window, and I replaced that window (insulating pretty well in the process) a few years ago.
Yet, somehow the AQI is at 10. This Airmega should have no problem with the square footage; it really is only like 100sf.
Replying to
I had plans to do proper measurement of the how well these things actually clean compared to a traditional box fan CR box, and the Airmega devices (especially after someone on here argued w/ me that they couldn't possibly work, lol). But life got in the way, so I haven't. However, my air monitors are telling me that they work, so I'll keep using them. I really need to build a 3rd one, as a matter of fact.
I used the filters for about 18-21 months before replacing them.

@tijl@mastodon.social @PythonLinks@mastodon.social @kirch@tilde.zone My main concern with this kind of thing is friendly fire. The intent is for people to be able to use/share/rework, without $military or $evilcorp doing so. In reality they do it anyways (see: every AI company), AND Debian can't include it or a nonprofit that's doing good things can't use it as part of a fundraiser.
That's why I don't think software licenses are necessarily the proper place to apply pressure..

@toddestan@lemmy.world @SpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.world If it does run warm, and since the display is dead, there's nothing keeping you from removing the motherboard from the case and setting up your own cooling. If the crappy little laptop fan isn't up to the task, put the motherboard in a larger box and hook up a few USB-powered CPU fans to move a lot more air over the CPU/GPU's heatsink.

@gwynnion@mastodon.social I love that people still argue w/ me about Biden's worth.

I continue to maintain that Biden was one of the worst presidents in my lifetime - mostly due to an accident of timing. If he had been president in 2016 or 2000, he obviously would've been a huge improvement over Trump or Cheney, respectively. Heck, even in 2008 or 2012 or 1996 he would've been.. fine.
But after covid, BLM, 4 years of Trump 1.0 abuses, & subsequent open insurrection by literal fascism, he was the wrong person for the job. He gave the fash 4 years to prep

Open quoted postI'm kind of jealous that my kids get to go to sleepaway camp, especially afterwards when they come home and talk about it.
When I was the 14yo's age, I spent my summers watching shitty reruns on TV. Basic over-the-air-with-like-7-channels TV; we didn't have cable. I would often go to a friend's house (who had cable) to watch MTV. It was incredibly boring.

The 2nd floor of this rowhouse is where the bedrooms are, and it's broken up into individual rooms. Because of space constraints, each room has a Coway Airmega AP-1512HH (running on high despite the noise). Look at the difference - this is the master bedroom (sorry for the blurry pic). An AQI of 42. The master bedroom is about 1/4 of the size of the basement.
