I've had access to GPT Astra for a few months now. Sorry, but Grok blows it out of the water. Tried to have Astra write me an epic vulgar roast about Mr. Beast and it wasn't funny at all 😑 Grok? Had me and the entire Imagine Dragons Discord on the floor laughing 🤣

I've gotten super into 3D printing landscapes of places that are important to me. Here's Okutama and Fukuoka. They're interchangeable magnetic tiles.

It's been a month and I'm happy to report that my 4th and final attempt to switch to Apple Music has been successful. The only annoying part is sending links to friends who still expect Spotify.

I cannot stress enough how much mileage I've gotten out of a single Hetnzer instance ($6/mo), free Netlify plan, and pointing codex at a public/private key pair. This AM: 1. "Deploy a phpBB instance" 2. "Deploy a minecraft bedrock server"

Handheld devices were better when syncing data over the internet was an intentional decision. You couldn't send my palm pilot a "notification" - what a ridiculous premise.

A small Palm OS Emulator window showing the HotSync app. The screen has “Welcome.” near the top, tabs labeled “Local” and “Modem,” and a central sync icon with red and blue arrows above the label “Cradle/Cable.” At the bottom are “Log” and “Help” buttons.
